When times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we’re hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.

One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor’s degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But there’s a question: Would the quality of undergraduate(本科生)education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a “three-year degree” model.

I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum(课程) any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits(学分). In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly “throw out” one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist “diluting(稀释)” the quality of the education they offer.

In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it’s not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns(实习生)in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University.

Whenever my kids have a party at school, I am the mom who always signs up to bring the juice boxes. It’s not because I’m 26 or that I don’t care if my kids have a good party. I am just not good at making homemade bread into holiday-themed shapes like other mothers. 27 , I’m happy to try, even though it’ll 28 me a long time to do it.

People say that housewives should have the 29 to make delicious meals, keep their houses clean, and 30 every minute of their child’s life. Their words used to 31 me a lot. I felt that I should also be able to do those things as a housewife. So 32 I couldn’t make the turkey-shaped cookies, I 33 feeling like a failure as a mom.

After many 34 attempts at baking, and many afternoons spent crying over my inabilities as a mother, I finally accepted the 35 that my lot(命运) in life is to be the juice box mom. I worked hard to be the 36 one in the elementary school. And after one of my daughter’s class parties, it 37 . Her teacher stopped me as I was leaving and said,＂Thank you so much for always bringing 38 drinks. Sometimes parents forget that other children will also 39 class parties, and they end up being left out because we don’t have enough 40 for everyone.＂

I just accepted her appreciation, rather than telling her that I brought extra drinks because I could 41 remember how many kids were in the class. But her 42 taught me an important lesson: I’m not a failure as a mom.

Not everyone is cut out to be a(n) 43 mom. I believe it’s okay to be the juice box mom. I may not bake cookies and decorate them beautifully, but I 44 something to drink. And I think that’s just as 45 .

Freshmen, eager to get home for the Chinese New Year, queue up at the railway station for hours．Days later, they squeeze into a crowded train and dream of the home-cooked meals and love they'll enjoy once they arrive home．This, they say, makes all the trouble of getting home worthwhile.

However, many freshmen come to find that home is not exactly how they remembered it．Living away from their parents has exposed them to a new life of freedom – one that within hours of arriving some begin to miss．Household chores（家务活）and complaining parents are just a few of the things that can ruin students' winter fantasies．“My parents still treat me like I was in senior high,” Song Ying, a 19-year-old freshman at Shandong University, complained．“I get an earful from them every day.”

During her first term away from her Hubei home, Song missed everything – from her parents cooking to the city bus．She cried and ached to sleep in her own bed．So, upon finishing her exams, she fled home, thinking everything would be just as it used to be．But she was wrong．Now, she spends entire days at a friend's home to “avoid all the restrictions”．She logs online to update friends' profile on SNS, skips meals and sleeps in – just like she did on campus.

Things have been even tenser at home for Luo Ruiqi, a 19-year-old freshman at Beijing Jiaotong University．Instead of moving to a friend's house, though, he has decided to challenge his parents' rules for his right to be an adult at home．When they complained about the amount of time he spent in the toilet, Luo said he decided “enough is enough” and lost his temper．He feels guilty about his attitude, but he still argues that he is grown up enough to live by his own rules．“I just want to live my own way of living, wherever I am,” said Luo．

Recent graduates like Wang Kai know what Song and Luo are going through．But Wang, who graduated in 2008 and now works in Beijing, says students should value the time spent with their family and “just try to be nicer.” Wang says he acted the same way when he first returned home from college, but now, living 1,500 km away from his hometown in Hunan, he regrets his behavior．He realizes that his parents meant well．And, looking back, he says that “the way of living that we got used to on campus is not that healthy anyway”.

Parents, meanwhile, are more understanding than you might think．“Living on their own in a strange place can be hard –we've been there before,” said Luo's father．“We want to make sure that they are healthy and happy．Sometimes maybe we just worry too much.” As for the tension that's arisen between father and son, Luo senior laughed and said, “It's not a problem at all – he's my son; we work things out, always.”

1．Having read the passage, we can infer that home is now a(n) ___________for most freshmen.

C．temporary station in life D．open house

2．Why are things even tenser at home for Luo Ruiqi during the Chinese New Year?

B．He has decided to go against his parents for his right to be an adult at home.

C．He feels guilty about his attitude towards his parents.

D．He has wasted much money his parents gave to him.

3．According to the text, there exists a main problem between parents and children that_______.

A．parents want to bring their children under control as before.

B．children look down upon what their parents always do.

C．their way of life is apparently different now.

D．they are always misunderstanding each other.

4．Who the text implies is mainly responsible for the bad parent-child relationship?

A．parents B．social changes C．professors D．freshmen
