Already there is an
16、overabundance of teachers, engineers, physicists and other specialists. Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that arent there. The result is that graduates cannot enter the professions for which they were trained and must take te
17、mporary jobs which do not require a college degree. These “temporary“ jobs have a habit of becoming permanent.On the other hand, there is a tremendous need for skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters, electricians, mechanics, and TV repairmen. These people have more work than they can handle and th
18、eir annual incomes are often higher than those of college graduates. The old distinction that white-collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true.The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that a college degree is a passport to a prosperous future. Pare
19、nts begin telling their children this myth before they are out of grade school. Under this pressure the kids fall in line. Whether they want to go to college or not doesnt matter. Everybody should go to college.One result of this emphasis on a college education is that many people go to college who
20、do not belong there. Of the sixty percent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up.（分数：10.00）(1).What does the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics s

27、ressure on international sportsmen and sportswomen kills the essence of sportthe pursuit of personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. The individual representing his country
28、 cannot afford to think about enjoying himself, he has to think only about winning. He is responsible for entire nations hopes, dreams and reputation.A good example is the football World Cup. Football is the third worlds most important sport. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of internatio
29、nal sporting success. Mention Argentina to someone and the chances are that he ll think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup put Argentina on the map.Sports fans and supporters get quite unreasonable about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after
30、 they won in 1966. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money traveling to Argentina, where the finals were played.So, am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sport? Certainly not! Do the Argentineans really believe that becau
31、se eleven of their men proved the most skillful at football, their nation is in every way better than all others? Not really.

36、ing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again? Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life diffi
37、cult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the childthings that have lost their interest
38、for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pa
39、y for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If
40、however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.（分数：10.00）(1).According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that _.A. life for a child is comparatively easyB. a child is always loved whatever he do

45、ch has long concerned social analystshas at last captured the attention of average Americans. And Jean Bethke Elshtain, for one, is glad.The fact that ordinary citizens are now starting to think seriously about the nations moral climate, says this ethics (伦理学) professor at the University of Chicago,
46、 is reason to hope that new ideas will come forward to improve it.I But the challenge is not to be underestimated. Materialism and individualism in American society are the biggest obstacles. “The thought that Im in it for me has become deeply rooted in the national consciousness,“ Ms. Elshtain says
47、.Some of this can be attributed to the disintegration of traditional communities, in which neighbors looked out for one another, she says. With todays greater mobility and with so many couples working, those bonds have been weakened, replaced by a greater emphasis on self.In a 1996 poll of Americans
48、, loss of morality topped the list of the biggest problems facing the U. S And Elshtain says the public is correct to sense that: data shows that Americans are struggling with problems unheard of in the 1950s, such as classroom violence and a high rate of births to unmarried mothers.“The desire for
49、a higher moral standard is not a lament (挽歌) for some nonexistent golden age,“ Elshtain says; “nor is it a wishful (一厢情愿的) longing for a time that denied opportunities to women and minorities. Most people, in fact, favor the lessening of prejudice. “Moral decline will not be reversed until people find ways to counter the materialism in society,“ she says. “ Slowly, you recognize that the things that matt
