17、ation at college. So, is a college education worth the price? This is a question more Americans are asking as college costs continue rising while the job market remains weak.Attending a four-year college in the United States can cost more than $40,000 a year. That information comes from the College
18、Board, a private company. Many people with a college education are drowning in student debt. They have to borrow money to finance their education. Reading this, some people may think its really not worth it to spend so much money on college education. But is it really so?A recent study suggests that
19、 a college education is worth it, at least in the United States. That information comes from the Hamilton Project at the Brookings Institution. The study found that someone with a four-year college education earns two times as much as a high school graduate over a lifetime. And for nearly all study
20、programs, an individual with a four-year bachelors degree earns even more than someone with a two-year degree.However, graduates of some college majors may find their situation disappointing. For example, a chemical engineer can expect to earn double the earnings of a social worker over a lifetime.
21、On average, a finance graduate makes more than a nurse or medical aide, while a nurse makes more than an elementary school teacher. Generally, college majors that require skill in mathematics promise high lifetime earnings. Graduates in computer science, engineering, and physics have the highest wag
22、es. Majors that involve teaching children or counseling have the lowest pay. Actually, graduates with bachelors degrees in some fields earn even less than people with a two-year associates degree over a time. They include early childhood education, elementary education and social work.Now what do yo
23、u think of going to college? Perhaps youve concluded that generally people who go to college earn more than people who dont receive a college education. And you can earn very good salaries if you choose a good major. Therefore, we can say that a college education is worth the price.Actually, from my
24、 point of view, I think people should go to college. Earnings shouldnt be the only factor to be considered. Receiving a college education has many other benefits. Considering all the benefits, we can see its worth it to go to college. 24. What is the topic of the text?A. Should a college education b
25、e costly?B. Is a college education worth the price?C. Can people find good jobs after graduation?D. Is a four-year degree better than a two- year degree?25.

28、her to hide from a hungry predator (捕食性动物 ) or move silently towards an unwitting prey.These animals, as some of the earths best masters of disguise, can hide from their predators. However, they cant escape the sharp eyes of American photographer Art Wolfe, who has spent over 35 years working in the
29、 deserts of Africa, the rainforests of South America, the mountains of the United States and snow plains of Canada to capture wildlife.The Seattle, WA photographer says that finding and filming these clever animals is a difficult process, one that often takes many hours. However, for him, it is defi
30、nitely worth the time because of the thrill of capturing a creature that has managed to blend into its natural habitat so skillfully like none other.His search has taken him to almost every continent in the world - from the deserts of Africa to the rainforests of South America and even, the snow pla

35、own D. leave the earth for another planetDWe know smoking cigarettes kills. So, manufacturers made electronic cigarettes as a safer smoking choice - safer than tobacco. E-cigarettes contain the drug nicotine like cigarettes. But they dont use tobacco. And you dont light them. They are powered by bat
36、tery.So, if e-cigarettes are so safe, why have poison control centers around the United States seen an increase in telephone calls about e-cigarette poisonings? The answer is children.Most of the calls are from people worried about children who have played with the devices. In the period of one mont
37、h this year, the United States Centers for Disease Control (the CDC) says 215 people called the Center with e-cigarette concerns. More than half of these calls were for children aged below five. The devices apparently had made them sick.Tim McAfee, director of the CDCs Office on Smoking and Health,
38、says the problem is regulation (管控). The federal government doesnt control e-cigarettes even though they contain liquid nicotine. Mr. McAfree adds that liquid nicotine is a well-known danger. He explains that nicotine poisoning happens when the substance gets into the skin, gets into the eyes or is
39、swallowed. Even a small amount can make a person sick. Nicotine poisoning can cause stomach pain or a sense of imbalance.

And we dont really know whats going to happen with e-cigarettes,” he said.E-cigarettes dont contain hundreds of harmful chemicals that are found in rea
41、l cigarettes. So e-cigarettes are considered a useful tool for adults trying to end their tobacco use or quit.But McAfee worries that teenagers may think electronic cigarettes are harmless.
