The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. A school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become “better” people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than　 those who don't go.

But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don't fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each other's experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school. Other find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out-often encouraged by college administrators.

Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves-they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that is a condemnation of the students as a whole, and doesn't explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We have　 been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can't absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb　 an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.

Some adventuresome educators and watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesn't make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things-may it is just the other way around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy (离经叛道的想法 ) to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better.

But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up.

1.According to the author, ________.

A.people used to question the value of college education

B.people used to have full confidence in higher education

C.all high school graduates went to college

D.very few high school graduates chose to go to college

2.In the 2nd paragraph, "those who don't fit the pattern" refer to ________.

A.high school graduates who aren't suitable for college education.

B.college graduates who are selling shoes and driving taxis.

C.college students who aren't any better for their higher education

D.high school graduates who failed to be admitted to college.

3.According to the passage, the problems of college education partly originate in the fact that ________.

A.society cannot provide enough jobs for properly trained graduates.

B.high school graduates do not fit the pattern of college education.

C.too many students have to earn their own living.

D.college administrators encourage students to drop out.

4.In this passage the author argues that ________.

A.more and more evidence shows college education may not be the best thing for high school graduates

B.college education is not enough if one wants to be successful

C.college education benefits only the intelligent, ambitious, and quick-learning people

D.intelligent people may learn quicker if they don't go to college

A recent survey in the United States showed that the average family spent more money on its pets than on its children. Although rather shocking, it should not surprise anyone who has seen the doggy parlors(客厅) where loved pets rest. Are Americans unique in treating their little friends in this way? No, the English, too, pay more attention to their pets.

This can clearly be seen when we look at pet foods, which often contain more vitamins than human food. They certainly cost much. Last year the British public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone, to say nothing of veterinary bills or animal furniture. It is difficult not to feel angry about this when considering what the same amount could do for victims of starvation and poverty, so it is not unusual for me to get hot under collar when I read an old man left all his money to his dog instead of his children.

There are a variety of reasons why I find pets-raising alarming. They cause physical problems. An example of this is New York where they have great difficulty getting rid of the mess that dogs leave on the streets. Many people find this funny, but in a number of large cities it is a major problem. Animals can cause disease, too. It is the threat of rabies — a disease with no known cure.

Another problem is the carelessness of pet owners. Most little children want a dog or a cat, and they continually push their mothers and fathers until they get one. It is only when the "sweet little thing" has been brought home that the parents realize how much time and money must be spent on "Rover" or "Bonzo". Then they just abandon it. As a result, they are allowed to run free. English farmers lose hundreds of sheep a year, killed by someone's pet and you must have read of children being hurt by some pets of their own.

Lastly, I would only suggest that we have got our priorities wrong and that something should be done about it. In my view, it's time we stopped being sentimental about pets. I can see no reason why we should get upset when animals are cut up for medical experiments. This will lead us to discovering cures for serious human diseases, then I say, “keep cutting!”

1.The doggy parlors are mentioned in the 1st paragraph to show ________.

A. where Americans keep their pets

B. what costly lives the pets are living

C. why children love their pets so much

D. how much pets depend on their masters

2.In the second paragraph "to get hot under the collar" probably means ________.

A. getting quite hot　　 　　 B. feeling overwhelmingly angry

C. becoming excited　 　　　　 D. receiving a fashionable shirt

3.According to the author, in which field can animals be most useful?

A. Pet.　 　　 B. Food.　 　　 C. Medicine.　 　 D. Sports.

4.What is author’s attitude towards pets-raising?

A. Pitiful.　 　　 B. Neutral.　 　 C. Opposed.　 　 D. Supportive.

Hunter Bliss, like more and more American students, left the United States to go to college. In the 2011-2012 school year, 46,571 U.S. students registered for degree programs in 14 countries. The top destination countries were the U.K. and Canada, followed by France, Germany, Italy and some other European countries. Germany, in particular, has attracted many more American students in recent years, like Hunter Bliss.

In 2012, there were more than 4,000 American students completing bachelor's, master's and doctor's degrees in Germany. The Institute of International Education (IIE) says that the number of U.S. students completing college degrees in Western Europe increased by about 5 percent from 2010 to 2012. American students choose to study in another country for two main reasons. First, international experience is becoming more important in the modern job market. Second, the cost of higher education has continued to rise in the United States. Rising tuition (学费) costs make education abroad—particularly in countries that charge no tuition-attractive to American students, says the IIE.

Many American students choose Germany because of the low cost of education there. German public universities do not charge tuition fees. And many universities in Germany offer courses in English, too. College education in the US is seen as a privilege and expected to cost money but in Germany it is seen as an extension of a free high school education where one expects it to be provided.

The German government has been eager to encourage students to come to Germany for another reason. Like many countries in Western Europe, German's population is becoming older, and fewer young people are entering college and the job market. The German government hopes to attract skilled foreign students who will stay in Germany.

1.Which country attracted American students most in the 2011-2012 school year?

A. Germany. 　 B. France.　　 C. Britain.　　 D. Italy.

2.The main reason why US students choose to study in Germany is that ________.

A. many universities there offer courses in English

B. the cost of education is relatively low there

C. studying abroad matters in their job hunting

D. it is much easier to find a job than in the USA

3.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Overseas education. B. High school education.

C. College education. D. Public education.

4.What does the text mainly talk about?

A. More and more US students choose colleges overseas.

B. Reasons why more students study in foreign countries.

C. Western Europe manages to attract foreign students.

D. Advantages and disadvantages of German education.
