阅读下列文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。

The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go, 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 and more, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students get in the way of each other's experiments and write false letters of recommendation (推荐) in the competition for admission to graduate school. Others find no interest in their studies and drop out—often encouraged by college administrators (教导主任).

    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 (谴责) 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 take in an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer take in an army of trained twenty-two-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 surveys (调查) upside down,  it seems, and thinking of the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college does not make people intelligent (clever) , 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 a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But opposite evidence is beginning to mount up.

1．According to the passage all the following statements are true EXCEPT that ________.

    A. about half of the high school graduates continue their studies in colleges

    B. college graduates are believed to be able to earn more money

    C. administrators often encourage college students to drop out

    C. Colleges should improve because of so much campus unhappiness.

    D. Colleges provide more chances of good jobs than anywhere else.

3．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean?

    A. Our college experiences prove that those surveys are incorrect.

    B. The surveys may remind us of our beautiful college experiences.

Beginning college is exciting: new ideas to explore，new challenges to be met and many decisions to be made. Your future begins here.

However，you will find college life is different from your previous school environment. Many of us can be easily overwhelmed by the details of running a well­balanced life. While some of us may have the know­how，I guess there are more of us who can benefit from learning about the experiences of others who have walked the college halls before you.

The following you may find of use about life on campus.

● Plan well. There are so many new things to do at a new college or university. Give yourself time to make new friends and become familiar with the campus，but don’t forget why you are there. Give some time for social activities and manage your time wisely.

● If you don’t have a “system” for planning your time now (like a day timer，a computer date book)，get one. Most of all，don’t depend on your memory.

● Don’t miss the guidelines. The restrictions，rules and regulations of all kinds can usually be found in your student’s handbook. Consider them well­balanced food for thought. What dates are important? What pieces of paper need to be handed in? What can/ can’t you do in your student residence(住处)? Who has the right for what? What do you need to complete to graduate?

●Write the word “STUDY” on the walls of our bedroom and bathroom，and maybe it will help to write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the telephone，TV and the kitchen table. Consider this—you are paying thousands of dollars for your courses. You pay every time you have to repeat or replace a course.

● Build your identity. This is the time for you to decide what to do and what not to do. Take as much time as you need to explore new ideas. Do not be afraid of the beyond. This is learning to make good choices.
