But we usually talk about our emotions coming from our hearts. If someone you know doesn“t
18、give up 1 , you might say, “He“s got a lot of heart.“ Then what about bad emotions? When you feel so sad that your heart “aches,“ could it actually be true? A new study shows what goes on in your mind can, literally, break your heart. In the study, just published in the Journal of the American Colle
19、ge of Cardiology , researchers looking at more than 63,000 women who were participants in the 2 Nurses“ Health Study, found that, those who reported basic symptoms of depression had a higher-than-normal 3 of heart attack. And women who were clinically depressed were more than twice as 4 as other wom

The researchers theorize that depression might have some direct physiological impact on the heartlike 6 it to work harder in the face of stress. Or it may be tha

No one is sure exactly how depression hurts the heart, and one 9 explanation is

23、escribed（分数：35.00）十三、Section B(总题数：1，分数：70.00)What If A College Education Just Isn“t for Everyone?A. Long before the president swore last year that America will “have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world“ by 2020, the importance placed on going to college was firmly rooted in the
24、 American soul. The case is compelling: As good jobs increasingly require more education, college is widely seen as the ticket to personal economic security and to global competitiveness. And yet, there“s a potential trend of concern about a group of studentssometimes called “the forgotten half,“who
25、, for whatever reason, do not think college is for them. It“s expressed by soul-searching parents such as Crave, whose son doesn“t thrive in the classroom. It“s also expressed increasingly by educators, economists and policy analysts, who question whether it“s realistic and responsible to push stude
26、nts into college even if the odds of academic success seem low. B. They“re swimming against a powerful tide. A small but growing number of states now require all high-schoolers to take a college entrance exam. Philadelphia“s mayor opened an office in City Hall last month to help residents get inform
27、ation about how to attain a college degree. Bill Gates, perhaps the world“s most famous college dropout, has poured more than $2 billion into programs and scholarships to help more students complete college. But what“s still getting lost, some argue, is that too many students are going to college no
28、t because they want to, but because they think they have to. “We“re force-feeding them“ the idea that “you must go to college or you“ll be a second-class citizen,“ says Marty Nemko, a California career counselor. Economic benefits, and more C. The debate over college is not new, but today“s economic
29、 climate has raised the stakes. “There“s beginning to be a lot of concern among the American public that. if you don“t get into that upper class, you“re going to struggle your whole life,“ says Public Agenda“s Jean Johnson. A four-year degree is no guarantee of wealth, of course. About 25% of those
30、with bachelor“s degrees earn less than those with two-year degrees, studies by Georgetown University“s Center on Education and the Workforce have found. But research consistently has shown that, on average, those at the top of higher education“s pecking order reap the most benefits, both economicall
31、y and beyond. D. “This is a market for social position, which is why we spend so much on going to Harvard and one of the reasons it“s hard to get a student excited“ about community college, says Anthony Carnevale, director of the center. “Class is real, and it has consequences. The position you hold
32、, where you work, really determines your status.“ Falling through the cracks E. Economists continue to debate the slight differences of trend data for jobs and wages. But some argue that college dropout rates alone suggest many students are wasting their timeand money. Federal data show that fewer t
33、han 60% of new students graduate from four-year colleges in six years, and just one in three coinmunity college students earn a degree. “It“s fine for most kids to go to college, of course, but it is not obvious to me that that is the best option for the majority,“ says Mike Gould, founder of New Fu
34、tures, a Washington, D.C.-based organization that provides scholarships for low-income students pursuing anything from a four-year degree to a massage-therapy certification. “Some education may be a good thing or it may just be a lot of debt.“ F. The problem, Gould and others say, is that many high
35、schools focus so much on college that low-achieving students fall through the cracks. A Public Agenda report this month raises similar concerns about high school guidance counseling. It follows up on a December survey that concluded most young workers who don“t have a college degree “are in their jo
36、bs by chance, not by choice,“ and that guidance toward a career path “is hardly clear and purposeful.“ The apprentice (学徒) model G. Apprenticeships have long been popular in Europe, but workforce-oriented high school training is not nearly as common in U.S. schools. One reason is that such programs
37、sound dangerously similar to trackingsorting students by ability level, a practice repeatedly rejected in U.S. culture, in which the dominant philosophy is that all students should have opportunity to meet their full potential. If high schools were to advise students that some education beyond high
38、school is not necessary for everyone, “there“s a little bit of a concern that. we“re saying a lesser goal is OK for the populations of students who have been historically least well-served by higher education,“ says Jane Wellman, executive director of Delta Project, which studies higher education sp
39、ending. H. In recent years, male college-going and completion rates have raised concerns. But those least well-served historically are low-income and underrepresented minority students, who are less likely than their peers to pursue two- and four-year degrees, and most at risk of not completing coll
40、ege if they do enroll. I. Some evidence suggests, though, that students already are being held to different standards. A recent national survey of high school teachers by ACT Inc., the educational testing company, found 71% agreed “completely“ or “a great deal“ that high school graduates need the sa
41、me set of skills and knowledge whether they plan to go to college or enter the workforce, yet 42% said teachers reduce academic expectations for students they perceive as not being college-bound. Studies released in November by Deloitte, an international consulting firm, suggest another disconnect:
42、A survey of 400 low-income parents found that 89% say it“s “extremely“ or “very important“ that their child goes to college, but just 9% of high school teachers viewed preparing students for college as their most important mission. J. Deloitte CEO Barry Salzberg, chairman of the College Summit, whic
43、h seeks to increase college enrollment rates, says that“s misguided. “I think we should measure high schools on their college entrance rate and figure out a way to track performance of high school graduates in college and see how many go beyond one full year of college.“ But others say the enthusias
44、m to increase college-going rates ignores the reality that many students will be in over their heads once they start college. “College preparation for everyone is a very nice ideal, but we have a very high failure rate,“ says Northwestern University professor James Rosenbaum. “If we don“t start lett
45、ing counselors be frank, we“re not going to fix this system.“（分数：70.00）(1).High college dropout rate indicates that some students are wasting their time and money in college.（分数：7.00）(2).Historically speaking, minority students, being poor and underrepresented, are the least well-served group in col

It sounds like the ultimate win-win deal: create jobs, cut down on energy dependence, and save the planet from global warming. Ever since the
