Living one’s life is really like driving on a highway. First, to make a good driving, the driver must carefully examine the   36   of his car, just as he cares for his health for a good life.   37   he enters into the highway, he must   38   certain rules for his own safety. It also can be said that he must obey certain rules of society when living as a decent (体面的) adult. For example, on the highway, he is   39   to keep a constant (不断的)   40  , which can be compared with his   41   activities through his life. Neither driving nor living must be taken at too   42   a speed nor at too slow a speed. If he drives too   43  , the police will give him a   44  , just as he will be arrested when he breaks the law.   45   too conservatively (保守地), he will be called an out-of-date person   46   the others driving at a(an)   47   speed. When he wants to change his lanes, he must give careful   48   to every direction of his car. It is sometimes dangerous to change the way of life   49   he can be sure of completion (完成,结束) by doing so. He   50   not make any unnecessary changing of lanes which gives him only danger. Finally, he must   51   where he is now by recognizing some  52   appearing now and then. If he takes the wrong way, he must return to the right as soon as he can. But he may thus lose   53   and energy both on the road and in life. On the whole, driving on a highway and living one’s life are both hard work.   54   if he is careful and serious enough,   55   will provide him with much pleasure.

                            The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation.

    All high 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.Others 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 does not explain all campus unhappiness.Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right.We’ve been told that young people have to go to college because our economy cannot absorb an army of untrained 18-year-olds.But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained 22-year-olds, either.

Some adventuresome educators and campus 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_surveysand_statistics_upside_down,_it_seems,_and_through_the_rosy_glow_of_our_own_remembered_college_experiences.Perhaps college does not make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things ----- maybe it is just the other way round, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are only 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 (异端邪说) to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if little schooling is good, more has to be much better.But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up.
