13、est amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.“I have two kids in college, and I want to say come home, but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education,” says Jacobs.The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from t

14、he schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jac

15、obs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.At the same time, tuition（学费）continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education

16、 found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade,“If we go on this way for another 25 years, we won't have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M. Calla

17、n, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profit

18、able enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.26. According to Paragraph I, why did the plan of the Jacobs family fail?A. The twins wasted too m

19、uch money.  B. The father was out of work.C. Their savings ran out.             D. The family fell apart.27. How did the Jacobses manage to solve their problem?A. They asked their kids to come home.B. They borrowed 20,000 from the scho

20、ols.C. They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.D. They got help from the schools and the federal government.28.

21、tion fees will double soon.D. Americas unemployment will fall.29. What can we learn about the middle class families from the text?A. They blamed the government for the tuition increase.B. Their income remained steady in the last decade.C. They will try their best to send kids to college.D. Their deb

22、ts will be paid off within 25 years.30. According to the last paragraph, the government will _.A. provide most students with scholarshipsB. dismiss some financial aid administratorsC. stop the companies from making student loansD. go on providing financial support for college studentsBTo err is huma

23、n. To blame the other guy is even more human.Common sense is not all that common.Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?These three popular misquotes ( 戏谑的引语) are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human nature. To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of be

24、ing human, but it seems that most people dont want to accept the responsibility for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do. The original quote about human nature went like this: “To err is human, to forgive, divine( 神圣的).” This saying mirrors an ideal: people should be forgiving of other

25、s mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the opposite-find someone else to pass the blame on to. However, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a mark of great maturity.Common sense is what we call clear thought. Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things w

26、ork well, and it also means staying with the plan. Common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine. Common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations, because there are so many things g

27、oing on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in a large company, “the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.”And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the common problems with making e

28、xcuses is that people, especially young people, get the idea that its okay not to be totally honest all the time. There is a corollary ( 直接推论) to that: if a good excuse is “good” even if it isnt honest, then where is the place of the truth?31. According to the passage, which of the following seems t

30、akes as possible. D. Thinking seriously about his wrongdoings.33. Which of the following is N0T based on common sense?A. A man tries to take charge of everything in a large company.B.
