ACADEMICS AREN’T THE PROBLEM

Studies about how students use their time might shed light on whether they face increased academic and financial
pressures compared with earlier eras. Based on data about how students are spending time, academic or financial
pressures don’t seem to be greater now than a generation ago. The data show that full-time students in all types of
colleges study much less now than they did a generation ago – a full 10 hours a week less. Students are also receiving
significantly higher grades. So it appears that academic pressures are, in fact, considerably lower than they used to be.
The time-use data don’t suggest that students feel greater financial pressures, either. When the time savings and
lower opportunity costs are factored in, college appears less expensive for most students than it was in the 1960s. And
though there are now full-time students working to pay while in college, they study less even when paid work choices
are held constantly. In other words, full-time students do not appear to be studying less in order to work more. They
appear to be studying less and spending the extra time on leisure activities or fun. It seems hard to imagine that students
feeling increased financial pressures would respond by taking more leisure.
Based on how students are spending their time then, it doesn’t look as though academic or financial pressures are
greater now than a generation ago. The time-use data don’t speak directly to social pressures, and it may well be that
these have become more intense lately.
In one recent set of data, students reported spending more than 23 hours per week either socializing with friends or
playing on the computer for fun. Social activities, in person or on computer, would seem to have become the major
focus of campus life. It is hard to tell what kind of pressures would be associated with this change.
Question 36: The study’s conclusion that students’ workload now is not greater than before is based on ___________ .
A. what students achieve with greater load B. how students spend time
C. how students work through college D. what college demand from students
Question 37: Research studies have shown that pressures put on students nowadays are ____________ .
A. not greater than the past B. getting ever greater
C. much greater than the past D. more diversified
Question 38: Students get higher grades as ___________ .
A. students study much harder
B. academic workload appears more attractive
C. academic workload appears less demanding
D. college’s facilities are much better
Question 39: According to the author, the fact that students have more time for leisure is a proof that __________ .
A. financial pressure on students is not a problem
B. academic works disinterests them
C. they are active with extra-curricular activities
D. they cannot find extra job.
Question 40: According to the author, the fact that more full-time students are working for pay ___________ .
A. does not change students’ campus life B. indicates that students are academically pressured
C. is not an indication of pressures D. shows that students are financially pressured
Question 41: Students nowadays seem to be studying less and ____________ .
A. spending more time on leisure B. spending more time doing odd jobs
C. giving more time to sports D. taking more extracurricular activities
Question 42: The word “focus” in the last paragraph can be replaced with __________ .
A. central activity B. primary theme C. headline D. biggest importance
Millions of people are using cellphones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In
many countries, cellphones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of
communication – having a mobile phone shows that you are cool and connected.
The explosion of mobile phone use around the world has made some health professionals worried. Some doctors are
concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there
has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phones companies are worried about the negative publicity of such
ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health. On the other hand, medical studies
have shown changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones. Signs of change in the tissues of the brain
and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a travelling salesman had to retire at young age
because of serious memory loss. He couldn’t remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own
son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of
years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer’s doctor didn’t agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect
very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but
they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it’s best to use mobile phones less often. Use your
regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones
can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phone may have a warning label that
says they are bad for your health. So for now, it’s wise not to use your mobile phone too often.
Question 43: According to the passage, cellphones are especially popular with young people because ___________ .

A. obviously B. possibly C. certainly D. privately
Question 45: “Negative publicity” in the passage most likely means ____________ .
A. information about lethal effects of cellphones
B. widespread opinion about bad effects of cellphones
C. the negative public use of cellphones
D. poor ideas about the effects of cellphones
Question 46: Doctors have tentatively concluded that cellphones may _____________ .
A. damage the users’ emotions B. caused some mental malfunction

A WONDERFUL INVENTION

alarm clock is a wonderful invention. But there are people who become so used to hearing the regular ringing sounds of
their alarm clock they continue to sleep through the noise. I used to be one of those people. When I was going to school

clocks I was late for work four times in one week and I was dismissed. Next week I will start a new job. Am I bound to
