College-bound American high school students usually have some combination of parents, teachers, guidance counselors, or peers to support them in the tough process of applying to and beginning college. Unfortunately, adults who want to go to college— particularly adults who have been out of school for a long time—generally have no such support system. "Adults have a much harder time starting out in college because, unlike regular students, they have adult obligations—raising children and working full time— that often conflict with the demands of school," says Deepa Rao, a World Education expert. "Also, adults who have been out of school for a long time may not be academically prepared for college level work. Some have little exposure to technologies like email and Internet research, which are an increasing part of college communication and courses. They may be unaware of available resources, such as financial aid, tutoring centers or mentoring programs, and may be unfamiliar with terms such as ’bursar’ and ’prerequisite.’ And if you don’t know where to begin or what to do once you do get there, it’ s easy to get overwhelmed and simply give up."
The challenges that working adults face when going to college inspired Deepa to develop a web page and website as part of World Education’s National College Transition Network(NCTN), an online forum for technical assistance, news, and helpful resources for educators, policy makers, and others interested in adult learning. The new website is a counterpart(对应物)to the NCTN, set up to guide adults who are considering college through the process of applying to and succeeding in school. The website is arranged like a college campus, with "buildings" representing the sort of departments and classrooms housed on a college campus. Each building contains "classes" that describe the admissions process, where to look for grants and scholarships, and lists resources, where an out-of-practice student can review reading, writing, and math. There are also lists of advice and resources to help students with their college life. Another helpful aspect of this interactive, multimedia site is its audio capacity: all texts can be read to the visitor. This particular feature is especially helpful for people with visual problems or learning-disabilities.
The cycle of learning runs from cradle to grave, and World Education works to break down barriers to education for people of all ages, all over the world.
The last paragraph shows that learning_____.
选项
A、involves difficulties
B、starts at ones birthplace
C、requires repeated efforts
D、is a lifelong process
答案

解析
