Ben
When I left school five years ago, I said to myself, “That’s that! No more learning for me．Now I can enjoy myself in the evening．” But about a year ago the boss said, “We’re going to get a computer in the near future．” What does he mean? I simply don’t know．Anyway, I decided to go to evening classes．I’m quite an expert(專家) on computers now and you know, I actually enjoy studying．
Eve
I haven’t much interest in studying．To be honest, I don’t like reading very much, except for magazines and that sort of thing．Just reading, that is, to kill the time．But I do enjoy watching TV．Not that I watch everything．In fact, I choose my programmes very carefully．I’m particularly interested in current affairs(時(shí)事)．In some ways I think I learn more in this way than I did at school．
Ted
I’m a very different sort of person－I simply love doing things．That’s why I enjoy sports so much．I mean, actually playing．I hardly ever watch it on TV, but I do read quite a bit about it．I’m even interested in the history of sports．I don’t have much time for anything else, except that I quite like dancing．Some people say I’m not very good at it, though．
Joan
I should say I have great interest in studying．I’d rather do this than anything else．Since I left school．I’ve taken courses in all sorts of things．I go to the city library once a week, but I much prefer evening classes because it’s more fun that way．My latest “craze（狂熱）”－if you can call it that －is foreign languages．I’m learning two, not one!
【小題1】According to what they say, which of the following is NOT TRUE?
