11.Wrong Reasons for Going to CollegeA college education can be priceless.(31)A If any of these following factors had a big influence on your decision,you're probably right to second-guess yourself.
Because all your friends are going.
In only a few weeks'time,the whole friend group will be scattered to a half dozen different colleges in a half dozen different places.(32)C Friends will wonder what's wrong with you.
Because someone else expects it from you.
(33)F Or maybe,you're the kid that everyone is proud to believe will be the first to get there.It seems that for years everyone has just assumed that of course you'll go.It's become so much a part of the air you breathe that you've never stopped to consider whether you want to go or whether you're ready to go.
Because you don't know what else to do.
It's been tough to find even a summer job.You don't have an alternative plan.Everyone else is doing it.(see above) (34)G That is the lamest(无说服力的) of reasons to spend 20,000or more in the next year.
(35)D
Your uncle tells you that his one regret in life is that he didn't go to college.Others tell you that they could have gone so much farther in their career if only they had a college education.Whatever the story is,there are always people who regret decisions they've made.So this is not a persuasive reason for you to go to college.
A.But maybe in your heart you know that you are going for the wrong reasons.
B.Because you don't want to work.
C.Not to go will set yourself apart.
D.Because you are afraid you'll regret it if you don't go.

分析 本文说明了4条人们读大学的错误理由,告诉我们要根据自己的实际情况来决定是否读大学.
解答 ACFGD
31.A 根据横线后一句If any of these following factors had a big influence on your decision,you're probably right to second-guess yourself.如果下面的因素中有一个影响到你的决定,你也许就要自我反思了.本文接下来介绍的几个都是上大学的错误理由.所以说虽然大学教育是无价的,但你上大学的理由也可能是错误的.故S项符合上下文.
32.C 根据本段标题Because all your friends are going可知本段中提到的错误理由是:因为朋友们都去读大学了,所以你也要去.根据横线前面一句:Not to go will set yourself apart.不去读大学,你们就会分开.所以有一些人正是因为他们的朋友去读了大学,所以他也要去读大学.这就是一些人读上学的错误的理由.故C正确.
33.F 根据横线前两句Perhaps you come from a family where everyone goes to college.Or maybe,you're the kid that everyone is proud to believe will be the first to get there可知家庭里每个人都去读了大学,或者大家都为你自豪,认为你是家里第一个应该读大学的人.这样一来似乎仍然都认为你当然应该去读大学了,所以你也去读了大学.这也是一些人读大学的理由.故F正确.
34.G 根据本段前两句It's been tough to find even a summer job.You don't have an alternative plan.很难找到工作,你又没有别的事情可做.而且看到其他人都去多大学了.于是你也去了.说明部分人读大学的原因是没有其他的事情可做,只能随大流去多大学.故G项正确.
35.D Your uncle tells???only they had a college education.你的叔叔告诉你他很遗憾没有读大学,其他人会告诉你,如果他读了大学会生活得更好.但是无论什么情况,总有一些后悔自己做出的决定的人,也就是说生活中总有一些让人后悔的事情.故D项正确.

For one thing,I think living forever would be very(44)B.We always have to find ways to (45)B ourselves in a normal lifetime.(46)A you lived forever,you would still need to eat and have a place to live.To pay for all these things,you would have to(47)D working for as long as you lived.Many people work for 30-40years,then(48)B and begin to enjoy the rest of their lives.But you wouldn't have that (49)B if you lived forever.And,since forever is a long time,that means if you didn't (50)C your skill set every few decades(十年),you could be stuck doing the same thing for a very long time.That doesn't sound like (51)C at all!
Furthermore,it would be very (52)A to live forever if the people around you didn't also have that (53)C.You'd be likely to (54)D a lot of people in different periods of time,but you would also have to(55)A them die.No doubt this could be very (56)D for you.You would have the (57)A to see your children and your grandchildren and your great grandchildren all (58)C.But then,you'd also have to watch them get old and pass away.(59)D,this could lead to a very lonely existence(存在).
