With his first wife and two children he left Vermont by covered wagon in 1855 to homestead in Kansas.Perhaps he did not find farming to his liking,or perhaps he was lured by rumors of fortunes to be made in Colorado mines.At any rate,a few years later he moved west to the small Colorado mining camp known as California Gulch,which he later renamed Leadville when he became its leading citizen."Great deposits of lead arc sure to be found here." he said.As it turned out,it was silver,not lead,that was to make Leadville's fortune and wealth.Tabor knew little aboutwaswasmining himself,so he opened a general store,which sold everything from boots to salt,flour,and tobacco. If It his custom to “grubstake" prospective miners,in other words,to supply them with food and supplies,or “grub”,while they looked for ore,in return for which he would get a share in the mine if one was discovered.He did this for a number of years,but no one that he aided ever found anything of value.102 The term lifelong learningis very popular nowadays.lt describes the need for people to continue their education and training throughout their lives.Lifelong learning is more and more important for everyone because people arc now facing different career choices in changing cconomics.lt is believed lifelong learning is a crucial response to the challenges of the global knowledge economy.Currently,most universities have reacted to the era of lifelong learning by adding new programs and services for adults who seek to combine employment with part-time study.Spccial arrangements have been developed for these students but the core activity of the university,providing teaching to full-time young undergraduates,often goes on much as before.Lifelong learning is both formal and non-formal;and the boundaries between face-to-face teaching and distance education are increasingly blurred.By making learning possible anytime and anywhere,distance education is a powerful tool for supporting lifelong Icarning.Tcchnology-bascd teaching is creating new educational systems that anyone from anywhere can access.The key challenge for universities is to evolve from a teacher-centered model of education to studcnt-ccntcrcd model.The challenge for governments is that they have to develop new funding approaches and new quality assessment procedures.26 .The term 'lifelong learning" describes the need fbr people to continue their education and training in a certain period of their lives.答案F.The challenges of the global knowledge economy bring the needs for lifelong learning答案T27 .Lifelong learning is non-formal.答案F.The universities should make the classroom student-centered.答案T28 .To develop a new quality assessment system is a challenge for the government.答案TT03 The Wichita Falls Police Department is trying to help curb crime in neighboring communities throughout the city.On Saturday Wichita Falls Police gave a free two-hour presentation to help locals keep their community crime free.More than 20 people showed up at the Martin Luther King Center in east Wichita Falls to be part of the presentation.Wichita Falls Police Officer Jeff Hughes said that they wanted to make sure the folks out there were aware they were doing everything to takeaway the opportunity from a bad guy.Hughes reminded those in attendance that their homes outside the presentation could be an open invitation to criminals.One of the higgest ways to prevent crime,according to Hughes is to use CPTED.AIso known as Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design.“The biggest site,that we are dealing with now,that we are endorsing fully,is Next door and it's simply just next ,“The site is free and helps locals setup a Virtual Community that they can interact with from the comfort of their own home.“With it all happens in a web based program where if you send something out it gets to that group or that person instantly,they will get an alert on their phone or an email,“said Hughes.According to Hughes,he has already seen a positive impact locally from the site and hopes it can continue to expand in Wichita Falls.26 .The Wichita Falls Police Department is planning sterner measures to combat crime答案F.
