A

In

colleges

around

the

country,

most

students

are

also

workers.

The

reality

of

college

can

be

pretty

different

from

the

images

presented

in

movies

and

television.

Instead

of

the

students

who

wake

up

late,

party

all

the

time,

and

study

only

before

exams,

many

colleges

are

full

of

students

with

pressing

schedules

of

not

just

classes

and activities, but real jobs, too.

This isn't a temporary phenomenon. The share of working students has been

on the rise since the 1970s, and one-fifth of students work year round. About

one-quarter of those who work while attending school have both a full-course load

and

a

full- time

job.

The

arrangement

can

help

pay

for

tuition

（学费）

and

living

costs,

obviously. And there's value in it beyond the direct cause: such jobs can also be

critical

for

developing

important

professional

and

social

skills

that

make

it

easier

to land a job after graduation. With many employers looking for students with

already-developed

skill

sets,

on- the-job

training

while

in

college

can

be

the

best

way to ensure ajob later on.

But it's not all upside. Even full-time work may not completely cover the

cost of tuition and living expenses. The study notes that if a student worked a

full-time job at the federal minimum wage, they would earn just over $$15,000 each

year, certainly not enough to pay for tuition, room, and board at many colleges

without

some

serious

financial

aid.

That

means

that

though

they'rc

sacrificing

time

away from the classroom, many working students will still graduate with at least

some debt. And working fulltime can reduce the chance that students will graduate

at all, by cutting into the time available for studying and attending classes.

There is little reward for attending but not finishing college. Students

who

wind

up

leaving

school

because

of

difficulty

in

managing

work

and

class

are

likely

to find themselves stuck in some of the same jobs they might have gotten if they

hadn't gone at all. The difficulty of working too much while in school can create

a

cycle

that

pushes

students

further

into

debt

without

receiving

any

of

the

financial

or career benefits.

ing to the passage, the reality of college students is that .

throw parties a lot

stay up late every night

pay no attention to exams work besides attending classes

is the indirect cause of an increasing number of working students?

need of developing social networks

lack of summer jobs for young adults

chance of finding a job after graduation

expenses of high tuition and living costs

can learn from the passage that .

g students are more likely to finish college

ts can cover their college expenses through working

ts receive a huge reward for managing work and class

D. dropping out of college may not help students get career benefits

is the best title for the passage?

I

was

desperately

nervous

about

becoming

car-free.

But

eight

months

ago

our

car

was

hit

by

a

passing

vehicle

and

it

was

destroyed.

No

problem,

I

thought:

we'll

buy

another.

But

the

insurance

payout

didn't

even

begin

to

cover

the

costs

of

buying

a

new

car-I

worked

out

that,

with

the

loan

（贷款）

we'd

need

plus

petrol,

insurance,

parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as

?

600 a month.

And that's when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at

all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station

10 minutes' walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had

just

opened

in

our

area,

and

one

of

its

shiny

little

red

Peugeots

was

parked

nearby.

If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were

that family.

But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn't shared by my family. My teenage

daughters

were

horrified.

What

would

their

friends

think

about

our

family

being

poor to afford a car

the girls should take the same approach.)

My

friends,

too,

were

astonished

at

our

plan.

What

would

happen

if

someone

got seriously ill overnight and

needed to

go to

hospital? (an ambulance) How would

the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled

as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I'd soon

realize that a car was a necessity.

Eight months later, I wonder whether we'II ever own a car again. The idea that

you

to

own

a

car,

especially

if

you

live

in

a

city,

is

all

in

the

mind.

I

live

- and many other citizens do too-in a place that has never been better served by

public

transport,

and

yet

car

ownership

has

never

been

higher.

We

worry

about

rising

car

costs,

but

we'd

be

better

off

asking

something

much

more

basic:

do

I

really

need

a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I'm a lot richer because I dared to ask the

question.

author decided to live a car-free life partly because .

It’s not easy growing up. Growing up can be a real “pain” for some of us.

Sometimes we feel trapped, sometimes we feel sad, sometimes we are fearful, and

sometimes

we

just

don’t

understand

why

we

can’t

stay

young

forever.

But

we

should

take a look back on all the hardships in life with a positive attitude and learn

from

them.

We

must

overcome

every

obstacle

one

small

step

at

a

time.

We

should

realize

that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains!

Throughout

our

lives

we

are

going

to

face

many

challenges

and

pains,

but

we

should

never

let

these

obstacles

keep

us

from

following

our

dreams.

We

must

overcome

every

obstacle one small step at a time.

As

a

young

girl,

my

parents

for

ced

me

to

do

so

many

things

that

I

didn’t

like.

They

made

me

learn

to

play

the

violin

and

then

the

piano.

At

that

time

I

hated

music

and

I

also

hated

them.

But

looking

back

now,

I

am

so

glad

that

my

parents

encouraged

me

to

take

music

lessons.

Music

has

enriched

my

life

in

so

many

ways.

I

now

realize

that

my

parents

and

teachers

wanted

me

to

have

a

better

life

than

they

did

themselves.

We

are

all

going

to

experience

growing

pains,

but

they

are

just

part

of

our

life.

They

might

seem

so

huge

at

the

time,

but

we

must

be

strong.

Think

about

how

we

would

feel

if

we

had

no

challenges

and

lived

a

life

like

that.

Life

would

be

really

boring

and

meaningless.

The

future

is

ours!

A

little

hard

work

and

sweat

never

hurt

anyone!

If

we

realize

that

these

pains

are

just

small

bumps

on

our

road

to

success,

we

will

realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains!
