When one refers to the words college students, we usually think of a young person between 18 and 22 years old. But in the U.S.A today, a college student often is much older. In fact, educators say in the next few years colleges and universities may have more older part-time students than traditional full-time younger students.
Educators report a big increase in the number of Americans who attend college and university classes in the evening or at night or on weekends. Most of them are older than 25 years old and more have full-time or part-time jobs. Many are even in their thirties or forties.
Why are so many people deciding to spend their time and money in order to continue their education? Most are doing it because they firmly believe more education will help them to get a better job. Some are industrial workers whose factories have closed. They are learning new skills to prepare for other kinds of work. Some of the part-time students are not pleased with the jobs they have. They are studying for new ones. Some have retired and are looking for new different kinds of jobs. Two of every three of the students older than 35 are women. Many of them are returning to school after years of staying at home to care for children and do housework.
Are older students good students? Most teachers say yes. They say older students really want to learn. They ask difficult questions and are not pleased with simple answers. They often get high grades.
65. It’s said that in the next few years________.
A. students in colleges and universities will be much older
B. full-time students in colleges and universities will be even younger
C. American colleges and universities will take in part-time students equally
D. The number of older students will be greater than that of the younger ones
66. Why are so many people deciding to go on with their education? Because______.
A. most of the Americans enjoy learning something new
B. most of them believe: more education, better jobs.
C. they have lost their jobs.
D. they are tired of their jobs they have
67. What does the whole passage mainly tell us?
A. Why do so many older students go to college in America?
B. What older students in college can learn?
C. Older students are mostly good students
D. Higher education can help you get a good job.
C
Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you’ll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn’t enough for consumers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, don’t buy anything just because it’s cheaper than usual! “New and Improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients (contents) on the back. Third, compare prices: that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand.
Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers don’t spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands.
In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren’t very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.
Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.
68. All the following statements are true about the phrase “ordinary items” in Paragraph 2 except __________.
A. ordinary products are usually cheaper than famous brands
B. ordinary items never say “New and Improved” or “All Natural”
C. producers spend less money on packaging of ordinary items
D. the quality of ordinary items is usually as good as that of famous brands
69. One of the author’s suggestions to consumers is ____.
A. to make use of ads
B. not to buy items with words like “New and Improved” or? “All Natural”
C. to buy high quality items such as famous brands after lunch
D. to buy any ordinary items instead of famous brands
70. The author implies that ________.
A. going into the supermarket hungry, you may buy more than you plan to
B. the quality of ordinary items is usually high and the prices are relatively low
C. discount clothing stores are good places to go to
D. ads sometimes don’t tell the truth
