Every year, it costs British students more and more to attend university. 【小题1】 So is a university degree really worth it?
In 2006, the UK government started to allow universities in England and Wales to charge British students tuition fees. As a result, more than 80% of students in England and Wales now take out a student loan in order to go to university. 【小题2】 The average student in England and Wales now graduates from university with debts of around £12,000. Students of medicine, who study for longer, usually have debts of more than £20,000. That is a lot of money. 【小题3】 They even struggle to pay rent on a house, because they have to start paying back the student loan after graduating.
You might think that a British person with a degree will find it easy to get a well-paid job. However, most people in “white-collar jobs” seem to have a degree these days, so there is a lot of competition. 【小题4】 Like everyone else, graduates usually have to start at the bottom and work their way up. That can be very frustrating for them, since they are often over-qualified for the work they are doing. While at university, they had dreams of getting an exciting, challenging job. Therefore, life after university ends up being quite disappointing for a lot of graduates.
【小题5】 Students have always been seen as not having a lot of money, but “student poverty” is now considered a real problem in the UK. Most British students expect to get a loan, part-time job or summer job. Worse still, however, an increasing number of students turn to crime to support themselves.
| A.They are graduating with larger and larger debts. |
| B.All these lead to the reevaluation of a university degree. |
| C.It means graduates cannot afford to buy a house for many years. |
| D.Sometimes they have to borrow money from relatives and friends. |
F. They use the loan to pay for tuition fees, books and living expenses.
G. Also, British companies tend to value work experience over a piece of paper.
【小题1】 Most fitness(瘦身) advice is aimed at a general audience. But if you’re an older adult, the International Council on Active Aging (ICAA) has some tips(忠告) for seniors to get started and keep them at the top of their game.
【小题2】 Talk with your doctor about getting permission(允许) to begin a fitness program and making any changes to suit your situation.
【小题3】 Before starting, pick a program you’ll enjoy, so you’ll do it regularly. Check out the facility and the staff. Is the place friendly? Can you change clothes comfortably? Are facilities easily accessed?
Determine your participation style. Choose what’s best for you——a class or going solo? Morning or night hours? 【小题4】
Start slowly. Most people are overeager and sometimes overdo it. Record a baseline of your regular activities and determine a reasonable plan.
Make a date. Find a friend to exercise with you and keep you motivated.
Set specific short-term and long-term goals. Plan for activity in your day and make it a priority.
Remind yourself what your goals are. If it hurts(疼), don’t do it. 【小题5】 And once you’ve reached your goal, treat yourself for the good job you’ve done, so it will encourage you to continue.
| A.Make a list. |
| B.Know your choice(选择). |
| C.Indoor or outside exercise(锻炼)? |

Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is: “How do I get a good job?” 【小题1】 .
There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. Still others believe that the in person, door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time. 【小题2】 . He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them.

Without stopping to think, the lad(少年)offered to take his place. 【小题3】 .
【小题4】 . If the lad had gone home to consider about his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well.
