42、give Will Rogers Airport a scare. It is bright enough to land a plane in our front yards.

51、e, the high school graduate p acked her bags for a Ben gali j un gle. Lutz, like a grow ing nu mber of other young America ns, is tak ing a year off. Gap years are quite com mon in Brita in and Australia, but they are just beg inning to catch on in the U.S. Lutz, who grew up in Boulder, Colo., has p

53、e says.Why are stude nts attracted to the gap-year concept? Accordi ng to new surveydata from Karl Haigler and Rae Nelson, education-policy experts and co -authors of The Gap-Year Advantage, the most common reason for this is to avoid burnout.“I feltlike I was focused on college as a means to an end

But for students like Lutz, who, after getting rejected from five Ivies, decided to take time off, a gap year can help

57、focus interests. Lutz now plans to apply mostly to non -Ivies that have strong marketing programs.“This experience hasreally opened my eyes to the opportunities the world has to offer,” she says.But at least one education expert doesnwt ant schools spreading the gap-year message. In a study that followed 11,000 members of the high school class of 1992 for eight years after graduation, Stef
