32、Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest 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 t

33、he 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 the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款 ) program. They will each graduate with $20,0

34、00 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school. With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators(管理者 ) expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they w

35、ill 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 found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing ha

36、s more than doubled in the last decade, “If we go on this way for another 25years, we wont have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes

37、, 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 profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowi

38、ng, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted. 【小题 1】 How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem A They asked their kids to come home. B They borrowed $20,000 from the school. C They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs. D They got help from the school and the feder

39、al government. 【小题 2】 Financial aid administrators believe that _.

41、ide most students will scholarships B dismiss some financial aid administrators C stop the companies from making student loans D go on providing financial support for college students 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 1】 A 【小题 1】 C 【小题 1】 D A Southampton University team found that people who were vegetarians by 30 h

42、ad recorded five IQ points higher on average at the age of 10. Researchers said it could explain why people with a higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was connected to lower heart disease and obesity rates. The study of 8,179 people was reported in the BritishMedicalJournal. Twenty years a

43、fter the IQ tests were carried out in 1970, 366 of the participants said they were vegetarians although more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken. Men who were vegetarians had an IQ score of 106, compared with 101 for non-vegetarians; while female vegetarians averaged 104, compared with 9

44、9 for non-vegetarians. There was no difference in the IQ scores, between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported eating fish or chicken. Researchers said the findings were partly related to better education and higher class, but it remained statistically significant

45、after adjusting for these factors. Vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher social class and to have higher academic or vocational qualifications than non-vegetarians. However, these differences were not reflected in their annual income, which was similar to that of non-vegetarians

46、. Lead researcher Catharine Gale said, “The findings that children with greater intelligence are more likely to report being vegetarians as adults, together with the evidence on the potential benefits of a vegetarian diet on heart health, may help to explain why a higher IQ in childhood or adolescen

47、ce is linked with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease in adult life. But Dr Frankie Phillips of the British Dietetic Association said， “It_ is_ like _the _chicken _and _egg. Do people become vegetarians because they have a very high IQ or is it just that they are clever enough to be more aware

48、of health issues？ ” 【小题 1】 Whats the result of the research mentioned in the text A Intelligent children are more likely to become vegetarians later in life. B Children with a higher IQ are less likely to have heart disease later in life. C Intelligent children tend to belong to higher social class later in life. D Children with a healthier heart tend to have a higher IQ later in life. 【小题 2】 It was found in the research that_
