课文原文
**Lesson 85 Never too old to learn 活到老学到老**
I have just received a letter from my old school informing me that my former head-master, Mr Regmald Page, will be retiring next week. Pupils of the school, old and new, will be sending him a present to mark the occasion. All those who have contributed towards the gift will sign their names in a large album which will be sent to the headmaster’s home. We shall all remember Mr Page for his patience and understanding and for the kindly encouragement he gave us when we went so unwillingly to school. A great many former pupils will be attending a farewell dinner in his honour next Thursday. It is a curious coincidence that the day before his retirement, Mr Page will have been teaching for a total of forty years. After he has retired, he will devote himself to gardening. For him, this will be an entirely new hobby. But this does not matter, for, as he has often remarked, one is never too old to learn.
我刚收到母校的一封信，通知我说我的前校长雷金纳德·佩奇先生将于下周退休。学校的学生，无论新老，都将送给他一份礼物以纪念这一时刻。所有为这份礼物出资的人都将把自己的名字签在一本大相册里，这本相册将被送到校长家中。我们都会记住佩奇先生，记住他的耐心和理解，以及当我们如此不情愿地去上学时他给予我们的亲切鼓励。许多往届学生将于下周四参加为他举行的告别宴会。巧合的是，在他退休的前一天，佩奇先生将已经执教满四十年。退休之后，他将致力于园艺。对他来说，这将是一个全新的爱好。但这并不重要，因为正如他常说的，活到老学到老。
