填空题degree[听力原文]Today more and more people begin to understand that study does not come to an end with school graduation. Education is not just a college degree; it is life itself. Many people are not interested in studying at a college, and they are interested in other kinds of learning. They may go to a training class in their own field; they may improve their work skills by following television courses. They certainly know that if they know more or learn more, they can get work jobs or earn more money.[解析] 空格后的分号表明,前后2个分句要表达的意思基本相同,即教育并非为了取得大学学位,而是生活本身。结合录音可知,应填degree。
