Wrong Reasons for Going to College

A college education can be priceless. 1. If any of these following factors had a big influence on your decision, you’re probably right to second-guess yourself.

Because all your friends are going.

In only a few weeks’ time, the whole friend group will be scattered to a half dozen different colleges in a half dozen different places. Not to go will set yourself apart. 2.

Because someone else expects it from you.

Perhaps you come from a family where everyone goes to college, or maybe you’re the kid that everyone is proud to believe will be the first to get there. 3. It’s become so much a part of the air you breathe that you’ve never stopped to consider whether you want to go or whether you’re ready to go.

4.

It’s been tough to find even a summer job. You don’t have an alternative plan. Everyone else is doing it (see above). You think you might as well go to school. That is the lamest（無說服力的）of reasons to spend $ 20,000 or more in the next year.

Because you are afraid you’ll regret it if you don’t go.

Your uncle tells you that he regrets that he didn’t go to college. Others tell you they could have gone so much further in their career if only they had a college education. 5. So this is not a persuasive reason for you to go to college.

A. Because you don’t want to work.

B. Friends will wonder what’s wrong with you.

C. Because you don’t know what else to do.

D. Everyone seems more excited than you are.

E. It seems that for years everyone has just thought that of course you’ll go.

F. Whatever the story is, there are always people who regret decisions they’ve made.

G. But maybe in your heart you know that you are going for the wrong reasons.

The United States is a country of immigrants. It is a place where people from all over the world come to build a better life. Some immigrants bring their families. Some bring a few of their favorite things. Others come alone with nothing but determination. One thing that every immigrant brings with them is their culture.

American immigration began in 1607 with the colony (殖民地) of Jamestown. In 1620, another group of people left England to build a settlement in America. They wanted to go to a place where they could practice their religion freely. Then many more people left their homes in Europe to build a better life in America. Many also came to America from Africa. By 1770, more than two million people had moved to America. Later on, more people came to the United States than ever before.

In cities all over America, you can see different cultures that formed this country. Many things that you may think of as being “American” are actually from a foreign culture. Some of the best examples of this are the foods people eat. Pizza and spaghetti are foods that all Americans know and love. But both of them are from Italy. Baseball is an all-American sport. But the hot dogs that people eat during the game are a type of food that was brought to America by German immigrants.

Over time, pizza and hot dogs have become a part of what is considered to be American food. In the same way, different groups of people have come together to define what an American is. An American can be a person of any background. An American can be of any faith. An American can be of any skin color. They can speak English clearly. They can speak English with an accent. Each new immigrant adds something new to American culture. It will keep changing as more people come to this country.

1.Paragraph 2 is mainly about _____.

A. the history of American immigration

B. why people chose to move to America

C. the rapid growth of the population of America

D. what immigrants have brought to America

2.Several foods are mentioned in the text to show _____.

A. they have a long history in America

B. they are very popular with Americans

C. America is a country full of tasty foods

D. America is made up of different cultures

3.The author probably agrees that American culture is _____.

A. simple B. strange

C. diverse D. advanced

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Immigrants and their American dreams

B. America: a melting pot of cultures

C. America: a land of opportunity

D. Life in the US: culture shock

The bed should be reserved as a place for sleep, but people tend to read an iPad a lot in bed before they go to sleep.

Charles Czeisler, a professor at Harvard Medical School, and his colleagues got a small group of people for an experiment. For five days in a row, the subjects (實驗對象) read either a paper book or an iPad for four hours before sleep. Their sleep patterns were monitored all night. Before and after each trial period, they took hourly blood tests to paint a day-long picture of just how much melatonin (褪黑激素) was in their blood at any given time.

When the subjects read on the iPad as compared to the paper books, they reported feeling less sleepy at night and less active the following morning. They also took longer to fall asleep on the iPad nights, and the blood tests showed that their melatonin secretion (分泌) was delayed by an hour and a half.

The researchers conclude in today's journal article that given (考慮到)the rise of e-readers and the increasingly widespread use of e-things among children and adolescents, more research into the long-term consequences of these devices on health and safety is urgently needed. Czeisler and colleagues go on, in the research paper, to note：“Reading an iPad in bed may increase cancer risk.”

However, software has been developed that can reduce some of the blue light from the screens of phones and computers according to time of day, and there are also glasses that are made to filter (過濾) short wavelengths. While they seem like a logical solution for the nighttime tech users, it needs more research.

1.In Charles Czeislers experiment, all the subjects were asked to______.

A. sit in a row and receive the strict tests

B. have their blood tested per hour during the trial

C. read a paper book and an iPad at the same time

D. have their sleep patterns observed all night

2.The third paragraph tells us the iPad readers were likely to______.

A. feel less sleepy and tired in the day

B. become less energetic the next morning

C. have a lot more melatonin secretion

D. fall asleep more easily after reading

3.The special software recently developed can______.

A. weaken the harm done by doing nighttime e-reading

B. help prevent eyes being harmed by short wavelength

C. remove the blue light from your devices completely

D. be used in all the e-things widely and safely

4.Which title is the best one for the text?

A. Wrong behaviors before bedtime

B. New software for night e-readers

C. No e-reading in bed before sleep

D. No games on iPad in bed
