Linda and Lucy were best friends. They graduated from high school and went to the same college for further studies.
After some days Linda found that her friend was behaving strangely. She would remain quiet, sleep too much and turn wild, very often. At first, Linda thought it was just because of the problems she had met in her studies. However, Lucy became even stranger over time. Finally, Linda couldn’t take it any longer and asked Lucy about her strange behavior. Lucy broke into tears and said that she was going around with a boy, who was taking drugs and forcing her to take them, too.
Linda was shocked by her story. She then advised her friend to leave the boy. She reminded Lucy of her dreams of becoming a successful doctor and encouraged her to set an example for others. She also reminded her of how her parents would feel if they found out what their daughter was up to. Through her efforts, Lucy was finally able to leave the boy and drugs. During this time, her friend always stood by her.
Finally, the two friends graduated and their friendship grew stronger. They both became successful doctors, but never let each other down by getting into bad habits. They lived happily as close friends.

College students constantly hear the praises of education.We have all become used to believing that a college education is always a guarantee of an easier life.I was nine years old when my fourth-grade teacher presented me with a task, to write down all of the things I wanted in my life.I filled my paper with things like: own a big house and have servants; be rich and have a good job.The next day my teacher handed back my paper and in red ink she wrote: " GO TO COLLEGE." For a long time, I was convinced that once I obtained an education, BAM! Life would be easier.
However, education cannot promise all wishes, dreams, and desires.Society must reject the foolish idea that a college education's main purpose is to satisfy our desires and secure success.Like most challenging things, education is a gamble (赌博) in which results depend entirely on people's ability to look past their wants to see the realism and reason behind their wants.
For instance, my first year of college, I took a sociology class.In class, we were taught that Third World countries were poor.We learned that our quality of life would be almost impossible for an average person in those countries.I began to examine my own desire to be rich.To always go after money felt selfish when knowing others had none at all.Learning about other society's financial situations forced me to look beyond what I wanted.
Through the process of education, everything once desired is tested.Wanting something no longer is enough; it's more important to examine why we want it and whether we really want it.When my desire for money changed, everything changed.I stopped longing for money-driven careers and stopped valuing the people who had them.I began to examine the things I purchased and my reason for wanting them.
Education is a tool to be used to develop and advance our desires, so we can discover the things that are truly significant in life.Education is a source to expand our society to see beyond the superficial (表面的) appeals and the "quick fixes" , leaving the belief of an effortless life behind in order to desire a meaningful one.
1.The author's fourth-grade teacher probably agreed that ______.
A.the author was an ambitious student
B.the author should set more realistic goals
C.a college student would lead an easier life
D.a college degree was the key to the author's dreams
2.Why does the author mention her sociology class?
A.To share her learning experiences with readers.
B.To support her new understanding about education.
C.To express her sympathy for people in Third World.
D.To stress the importance of taking a sociology course.
3.With a college education, the author ______.
A.envied rich people
B.lost interest in career
C.desired more material things
D.stopped always seeking more wealth
4.What's the main idea of the passage?
A.College education promises an effortless life.
B.College education tests and guides our life desires.
C.College education offers solutions to social problems.
D.College education turns young people into gamblers.

There is no doubt that for a long time college education has been accepted. 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(妨碍;干扰) with each other’s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the fierce competition so as to get admitted into graduate schools. Others find no stimulation (激励) in their studies, and consequently have to drop out, which is 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’s a condemnation(指责) of the students as a whole, and doesn’t explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can’t absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds,either.
1.What’s the main idea of the first paragraph, ___________________.
A. people have great expectations for college education.
B. people still have a low opinion of college education.
C. the author thinks youngsters should all go to college.
D. people now no longer challenge college education.
2.The reason why more young people drop out of college is that _________.
A. they can start selling shoes and driving taxis.
B. they are no longer motivated in their studies.
C. they compete for admission to graduate schools.
D. college administrators force them to do so.
3.Who contributes to campus unhappiness?
A. young students who are all spoiled and expecting too much.
B. our society that can’t offer enough jobs to college graduates.
C. young people as well as our society are to blame for all this.
D. our society that has not enough jobs for high school graduates.
