It’s high time someone spoke up for today’s college students. They’re probably the most hardworking, ambitious people in America and their problems are not properly appreciated.
People like the Secretary of Education simply don’t know what they’re talking about when they knock students. Nor do those who complain about falling academic standards.
The vast majority of the nation’s 12 million students are struggling to pay for their educations. They are part of the invisible workforce. Many hold down full-time jobs. They’re frying hamburgers, photographing weddings, working in construction, and waiting on tables. The fact that they even show up for classes is a wonderful event.
The financial situation of most students explains a lot about what is happening in schools. Why are the traditional courses so unpopular? Why are students flocking to accounting and computer science and any professional programs that seem to lead to careers?
Answer: Today’s working student has been forced into a kind of premature matter-of-fact way of viewing things. Romance is gone. The notion of transforming one’s self through study alone has disappeared. Today’s students seek freedom from manual labor, and the status conferred by a good job.
There are other consequences. Today’s students don’t have much time or energy to be devoted, and carry out independent research or even do serious homework. That’s the secret behind falling academic standards. Students have become consumers. They want grades and certifications. Their professors can’t be expected to give a grade of failure to students who are clearly tired from the effort to pay their bills.
There’s a lot wrong with this situation. It’s twisting the definition of education out of shape. Worse, it’s creating a generation that is totally unpleasant. The brightest students turn out to be yuppies (雅皮士). The vast majority are, at least, good-natured semi-literates.
The time has run out for philosophical debates about fixed courses of study. What this country needs is someone to stand up and say that being a full-time student during one’s formative years is an honorable calling worthy of support. If families can’t or won’t give it to their children, then the government should.
1. The author’s purpose in writing this article is to __________.
A. awaken the whole society to the problems today’s college students face
B. warn Americans that academic standards are falling
C. advise college students to study hard
D. provide a suggestion that only full-time students be enrolled
2. The most suitable word to describe the author’s feelings about today’s college students
is _________.
A. criticize B. sympathize
C. complain D. urge
3.Which of the following CANNOT be learned from the passage?
A. Many students are often absent from classes.
B. Traditional courses are not popular.
C. Students commit crimes with computers.
D. Students don’t devote much time and energy to their homework.
4.By saying “Romance is gone” in paragraph 5, the author means ____________.
A. today’s students do not believe in love stories any more
B. today’s students become more practical in dealing with things
C. students think there is no affection any more and break up with their lovers
D. today’s students hold matter-of-fact opinions on love
5.Which of the following suggestions will the author not agree with?
A. We should encourage students to give up full-time jobs.
B. Families should offer their children more help financially.
C. We should stand up and say something for today’s college students.
D. We should make more strict regulations to force students to study hard.

Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart, was born in Kingfish, Oklahoma on March 29, 1918. He was raised in Missouri where he worked in his father’s store while attending school. This was his first retailing (零售业) experience and he really enjoyed it. After graduation, he began his own career as a retail merchant.
He soon opened his first Wal-Mart store in 1962 in Rogers, Arkansas. Wal-Mart specialized in name brands at low prices and Sam Walton was surprised at the success. Soon a chain of Wal-Mart stores sprang up across rural America.
Walton's management style was popular with employees and he founded some of the basic concepts of management that are still in use today.
After taking the company public in 1970, Walton introduced his “profit sharing plan”. The profit sharing plan was a plan for Wal-Mart employees to improve their income dependent on the profits of the store. Sam Walton believed that “individuals don't win, teams do”. Employees at Wal-Mart stores were offered stock options (认股权) and store discounts. These benefits are commonplace today, but Walton was among the first to implement (实现) them. Walton believed that a happy employee meant happy customers and more sales. He also believed that by giving employees a part of the company and making their success dependent on the company’s success, they would care about the company.
By the 1980s, Wal-Mart had sales of over one billion dollars and over three hundred stores across North America. Wal-Mart’s unique decentralized (分散的) distribution system, also Walton’s idea, created the edge needed to further encourage growth in the 1980s during growing complaints that the “superstore” was stopping smaller and traditional stores from developing. By 1991, Wal-Mart was the largest US retailer with 1,700 stores. Walton remained active in managing the company, as president and CEO until 1988 and chairman until his death. He was awarded the Medal of Freedom shortly before his death.

2.What is the purpose of Walton’s carrying out “profit sharing plan”?
A. To make sure all the employees had their own shares.
B. To encourage the employees to work hard and make joint efforts.
C. To select excellent employees for his stores.
D. To make more profit for himself.
3.Which of the statements is TRUE?
A. With Walton’s management style, employees treated the stores as their own.
B. Walton wasn’t one of the merchants who first implemented stock options.
C. The smaller and traditional stores were well affected by Walton’s stores.
D. In his old age, Walton gave all the management to his men.
4.What does the underlined word “edge” in the last paragraph mean here?
A. Danger. B. Disadvantage.
