问题                                 Is Continuing Ed for You?
     Continuing education is important for everyone now, in all fields.  Almost as soon as you’ve completed a field of study and begun working -- new ideas, approaches and techniques will be under discussion. To stay current in your discipline and to assure work success and career progression, it’s imperative you stay on top of emerging techniques and technologies that affect your work area.
     Even if you have worked in the same field for years and have accumulated a rich repertoire of experience, Continuing Ed is vital. Many occupations are now adopting "skill standards" that will formally define the knowledge desired or required for that field. In order to assure your ongoing career stability, you’ll want to be sure to keep current and at least meet, if not exceed, defined "skill standards".
     Certification, in a wide variety of fields, is becoming more and more common these days, too. Even if you’re already in the occupation -- if today’s new hires are expected to be certified in particular areas, it will be to your advantage to certify yourself as well.
     Ongoing education is one of the surest routes to promotion and it increases job security. It also enhances opportunity on the job market when you’re seeking a new job. And, carefully planned, it can provide a good insurance policy against obsolescence. If trends indicate that your career field or industry is in a downturn, with continuing education, it’s possible to acquire new skills and successfully move into another occupation or industry. Reality is: There’s no way to lose with continuing education.
     So, exactly what is "continuing education"? It can take many forms. For those in certain career areas (i e., legal/medical) there are certain prescribed courses one must take within a certain timeframe in order to remain licensed. In other areas, like technology, there are new languages, new operating systems and the like released continually that may be important to learn about for your particular field or business niche. For some, achieving specific certifications is vital. But, sometimes, Continuing Ed is less specific. Sometimes it’s up to you to decide what courses/new learning will benefit you in your current job or on the job market as a whole.
According to Paragraph 5, which of the following is most likely to be the best explanation of "continuing education"?

选项 A、Continuing education means more than just certification.
B、Continuing education orientates you to a better career.
C、Continuing education helps in more than just one way.
D、Continuing education motivates you to a higher position.

答案C

解析 本题是推理题。选项B和D是具体的目标或者方向,不能概括继续教育的其他的各项好处。选项A只说不仅仅是文凭证书,但没有表达清楚完整的意思。而选项C,是最接近原文第五段里的整段的意思:It can take many forms.很多形式的继续教育可以帮助人们达到很多目的。
