Answer 1

As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity. Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty. Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.以前发表在我空间上的学习的。

Answer 2

THE MEANING OF A UNIVERSITY
I am honoured by your invitation to address you at
the opening of another session, and I trust that my
choice of subject does not alarm you. I offered to
speak to you on the Meaning of a University, but it is
no part of my purpose to spend time on the definition
of familiar terms, or to attempt to extract surprising
lessons from the etymology of a word that is in daily
use. My interest in the subject is of another kind. By
the accidents of life I have had to do with many Uni-
versities in many places; in London, where they examine
without misgiving or remorse ; in India, where the
University of London found a congenial soil for
multiplying all its worst vices ; at Oxford and Cam-
bridge, where Time and old Custom and the delights
of communal life have hallowed even the frailties of
these ancient institutions, so that their very faults have
something pleasant and respectable about them ; in
Scotland, where the Universities are truly national, and
prepare the chosen youth of the nation for work in the
learned professions ; last, and not least significant, in the
newer provincial Universities of England, Manchester
and Liverpool, where the activities of a University have
been recognized as essential to a full-grown municipal
civilization. With all these I have had to do, and
I should be very dull and incurious if I had never
troubled myself to ask what purposes they have in
common, and what is the meaning of a University.
