Way of Life for Students

　　The Internet is way of life for US college students, with research showing them to be one of the most connected groups．

　　A recent study by Harris Interactive and 360 Youth found that 93 percent of American college students visit the Internet, and this market is expected to grow from 15．2 million in 2003 to 16．4 million in 2007．That is slow but could be the result of the already high number of college Internet users．

　　About 88 percent of American college students own a computer, and more than half have broadband connections．Furthermore, 67 percent own cell phones and 36 percent use their mobile devices to visit the Internet．

　　Study findings are that 42 percent go online mainly to communicate socially, and 72 percent of college students check emails at least once a day, with 66 percent using at least two email addresses．

　　The most popular online social activity is forwarding messages to friends of family, with 37 percent of college students saying they do so．The study also looked beyond the Internet surfing(冲浪)habits and into the buying habits of this group, and found them responsible for more than ＄ 210 billion in sales last year alone．

　　College students have learned how to spend their money, with 93 percent saying low prices were important when shopping．

　　The study also showed that 65 percent make loan(贷款)payments; 41 percent of freshmen have a credit card; and 79 percent of seniors have a credit card．

　　A significant number of charges on these credit cards are likely to be for entertainment and leisure expenses．

Read the following four passages．Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read．

　　In the current economic downturn, many American schools are adding a new subject to the curriculum(课程); financial literacy．One program in Virginia even gets students out of the classroom for a day to learn how far their money will go in the real world．

　　What looks like a shopping mall is actually an educational field trip experience for a group of young people．Finance Park is a special facility where students apply what they have been taught in class about money management．

　　“They become, essentially, adults for the day,” says Alice Reilly, social studies coordinator for Fairfax County Public Schools．“They are asked to develop a budget for 18 line items that you and I might have in our budget; things like utilities, insurance, groceries, housing．”

　　Each budget item is represented by a storefront where students collect an option sheet．Students must refer to a card that shows their income and their family size, when they choose what to buy．There’s also a stock ticker so students can keep track of shares in their portfolios(投资组合)．

　　The facility opened last year in Fairfax, Virginia．It is the fifteenth Finance Park built in the last decade by Junior Achievement USA, a non-profit organization dedicated to preparing young people for financial success．

　　“Since the financial crisis, the demand for Finance Parks around the country has grown exponentially," says Ed Grenier, president of the Washington, DC chapter．"We have a number under way in the planning and building stages．”

　　Financial literacy has only recently become part of the regular curriculum in Fairfax County．“Some students, some teachers, some schools did it, but now it is much more systematic," Reilly says, "and it is much more consistent to ensure that all students get this background information．”

　　That is why every eighth grade student in Fairfax County will eventually spend a day here．Thirteen-year-old Sam says she has learned an important life lesson．“I didn’t know how expensive everything would be．”

　　Anthony, also 13, is looking forward to telling his parents what he learned．“I’ll probably tell them I want to stay a kid a little longer and take my time to become an adult．”

　　This isn’t the end of financial studies for Anthony and the other students here．Virginia is one of 13 states which requires students to take a financial education in high school in order to graduate．

(1)

What is the aim of this Finance Park?
[　　]
A．	To raise enough money for the secondary schools in Virginia．
B．	To enable students to apply money management knowledge to practice．
C．	To provide students in Virginia with special chances for Advanced Placement．
D．	To direct students in Washington, D．C．to learn more about money management．

(2)

Who is expected to spend a whole day in the Finance Park?
[　　]
A．	Young people all over Virginia．
B．	Junior students in Washington,D．C．
C．	Eighth graders in Fairfax County．
D．	Eighth graders' parents in Virginia．

(3)

[　　]
A．	Extra curriculum is necessary in secondary schools．
B．	Fairfax County Public Schools set a good example．
C．	An organization helps youth in U．S．for financial success．
D．	Financial Literacy is very popular in Washington,D．C．
