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 with each other's experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school. Others find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out—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 c6ndemnation 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've been, told that young people have to go to college because our economy can't absorb an army of untrained eighteen-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 and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesn't make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things—maybe it's just the other way around', and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely 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 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 contrary evidence is beginning to mount up.

About 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning. The
word college is used to refer to either a college or a university. These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor Science (B.S.) degree. Some students attend a
junior college (providing only a two-year program) for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a
sophomore (二年级生) or junior (三年级生).
It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schools require strict
entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school.
Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive. Poorer
students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced
masters or doctoral degrees in grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require
such advanced studies.
Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Some have full-time jobs and go to school
part-time. Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands
on their time.
While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time, most still enjoy social activities. Sports,
dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular. However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks at a
favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity.
College education is _______ in America.
A. quite common
B. very rare
C. something difficult
D. almost impossible
