2019年6月英语六级阅读理解全真模拟题汇总 英语六级阅读理解全真模拟题(13) The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a
generation. 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 with each other’s
experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition
for admission to graduate school. Other 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 is a condemnation 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.
Some adventuresome educators and 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—may it is 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.
