45、its best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) In the world of higher education in the United States, competition seems more common than schools working together. Every college and university competes for students, as well as the best teachers and money for resear

46、ch programs. But one thing almost every school has in common is the difficulty they face in serving low- income students. The National Center for Education Statistics reports that low-income college students are less likely to complete their study programs than other students. It was only natural th

47、at the leaders of Michigan State University and ten other universities discussed this issue when they met in 2014. The 11 schools are spread across the United Sates and serve different populations and needs. But their leaders all saw improving graduation rates for all students as the biggest problem

48、 facing American higher education. So the group created an organization called the University Innovation Alliance or UIA for sharing information related to this problem. Its main goal is to get 68,000 more students at the member schools to graduate by 2025, with at least half of those students being

49、 low-income. The . ；. 11 schools now say their number of graduates has increased by over 7,200 in just three years. This includes an almost 25 percent increase in the number of low-income graduates. How were they able to make this happen? It began with each university looking at its own situation an

50、d finding out what it had been doing right and what it had been doing wrong. For example, before joining the UIA, academic advising at Michigan State mostly involved reacting to problems students faced after the problems had already arisen. Then school officials heard about a computer program that f

51、ellow UIA member Georgia State University was using. This computer program follows decisions students make about their classes and the progress they are making in their studies. It then sends academic advisors messages whenever a student shows signs that they are making mistakes or facing difficulti

52、es. Hat way the advisors can try to help students before the problems become too serious. Michigan State began using the computer program and it has meant a world of difference. Michigan States has not only received useful information from its parents. It has also shared helpful information of its o

53、wn. Bridget Burns, the executive director for the UIA, says efforts like this have never been as successful. “There are rankings that measure all kinds of things,” Burns said. “But how well you do for low-income students has not historically been highlighted.” 56. What led to the setting up of the U

54、IA? A. The low graduation rates B. The great need of low-income students. C. The inefficiency of learning D. The severe competition between schools 57.
