    Money Matters for Students
    GETTING A GRANT（补助）
    Who pays?
    The Local Education Authority (LEA) for the area in which the student is living.
    Who can get this money?
    Anyone who gets a place on a first degree course, although a student who has already attended a course of advanced further education may not. Students must also have been resident in the UK for at least three years, which can exclude (排除) some students from overseas.
    SPECIAL CASES
    If a student has worked before going to college:
    A student who is 26 or more before the course starts and who has worked for at least three of the previous six years will get extra money--￡155 a year if 26, increasing to a maximum of ￡615 at 29 or more.
    If a student is handicapped (残疾的):
    LEAs will give up to ￡500 to help meet extra expenses—such as buying a tape recorder for a blind student, extra heating or special food.
    Banking:
    Most of the big banks offer special services to students who open accounts (in the hope that they will stay with the bank when they become rich officials). A student won’t usually have to pay bank charges as long as the account stays in credit. Some banks allow students to overdraw by ￡100 or so, and still don’t make charges (though they do charge interest).
    【小题1】A student from Japan who has been staying in England for a year and intends to go to college in a few months will _________.

    A．get money if he is taking a first degree course
    B．be unable to get money from any LEA
    C．get money from any LEA when he has finished his course
    D．have to open a bank account before he gets any money
    【小题2】Which of the following is TRUE?
    A．A student already attending a course of advanced education is sure to get a grant.
    B．A student aged 30 can get extra money—￡615 a year.
    C．A student usually must pay back charges when the account is in credit.
    D．Students are allowed to overdraw by ￡100 or so in any bank.
    【小题3】Why is it likely that a bank will welcome new students as their customers?
    A．They know students receive money regularly.
    B．They charge students extra.
    C．They hope students will be rich in the future.
    D．They need student accounts in term-time.
    【小题4】Where can you probably read this passage?
