17、rowd at the BBC in London. It was part of a promotion(促销)schedule for the Dubliners as they publicized their 12th studio album No Line on the Horizon, which comes out next week. One of the members of U2, Bono, announced a tour starting this summer without giving much else away, and assured everyone

24、ould be pretty nearly at an end. Those who have studied the life of Theodore Roosevelt know that he never did stop learning. He was eager to learn all his life.

25、 grow older. Surveys show that the ability to learn does not diminish greatly after 20, said Dr. C. Ellis Nelson, a well-known professor in Texas.
