Several years ago, people thought that having big families was common and this was seen as an advantage. That was mainly because children began working at an early age to help provide for the family. But with the changing times and with the cost of living getting higher every single year, having a big family is no longer considered to be a practical option. In fact, more couples consider that they have only one child and some do not have any desire to become parents at all.According to the Australian Institute of Family Studies, by 1986, women aged 40 to 44 years, were considerably more likely to have given birth to two children than three children (36% vs. 27%) or four or more children (19%). However, taken together, women were still more likely to have had three or more children than to have had two children (46% vs. 36%).In recent years, women were more likely to have had two children than three or more children a trend that was most marked in the most recent period (38% vs. 25% in 1996; 38% vs. 22% in 2006). These days, most families in Australia have two children. But the number of women who hadgiven birth toa single childincreased progressivelyfrom only 8% in 1981 to 13% in 2006.The U.S. Census Bureau states that there are approximately 14 million only children in America today. Thiscomprises 20% ofthe childrens populationcompared toonly 10% around fifty years ago.操作提示：通過題干后的下拉框選擇題目的正確答案。1.

It 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 are now facing different career choices in changing economies. It 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. Special 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 learning. Technology-based 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 student-centered model. The challenge for governments is that they have to develop new funding approaches and new quality assessment procedures.操作提示：句子正確選擇下拉選項(xiàng)框?yàn)椤癟”；句子錯(cuò)誤選擇下拉選項(xiàng)框?yàn)椤癋”。The term “l(fā)ifelong learning” describes the need for people to continue their education and training in a certain period of their lives.回答The challenges of the global knowledge economy bring the needs for lifelong learning.回答Lifelong learning is non-formal.回答The universities should make the classroom student-centered.回答To develop a new quality assessment system is a challenge for the government.回答
