正確答案：事實(shí)上，削減學(xué)費(fèi)變得如此之流行，以至于在許多大學(xué)里，那些最初屬于少數(shù)人的補(bǔ)貼已經(jīng)成為多數(shù)人的權(quán)利了。

2.

正確答案：很自然，這種奇怪的制度要為它只是給予而不求回報(bào)的慷慨行為付出代價(jià)，因?yàn)榻?jīng)濟(jì)資助的增加通常不得不靠大幅度地提高本已高昂的學(xué)費(fèi)來提供資金。

3.

正確答案：不幸的是，大學(xué)貸款已經(jīng)像星期五晚上痛飲啤酒一樣成為學(xué)生生活的一部分。

4.

正確答案：諸如此類的統(tǒng)計(jì)資料使西弗吉尼亞大學(xué)校長查爾斯·曼寧感到憂慮。他擔(dān)心，沉重的債務(wù)“最終可能對學(xué)生的許多方面產(chǎn)生負(fù)面影響，如：他們的生活方式，對職業(yè)的選擇，上研究生院和職業(yè)學(xué)校的意愿以及購買房屋、汽車和其他消費(fèi)品的能力”。

5.

正確答案：在一些大公司工作是體面的第一份工作，但它們所支付的工資不可能使大學(xué)畢業(yè)生們既能償還學(xué)生貸款又能享受一種與其期望值相稱的生活方式。

正確答案：悲傷已經(jīng)成為過去，因?yàn)槲覀兯私獾娜祟悮v史都表明，在目前人們對計(jì)算機(jī)時(shí)代的到來所引起的問題的憂慮中，有一個(gè)問題不應(yīng)引起憂慮，那就是人類的適應(yīng)能力。

7.

正確答案：近年來，面對這種日新月異的變化，世界各地的人們表現(xiàn)出非凡的適應(yīng)能力，變化好像從來沒有使他們感到過不適應(yīng)。

8.

正確答案：人類自身的這部機(jī)器，對劇烈變化的環(huán)境具有無限的適應(yīng)能力，在這個(gè)方面，它比發(fā)明出來的機(jī)器要奇妙得多。

9.

正確答案：不管人們對新技術(shù)在教學(xué)、醫(yī)療、商品銷售、執(zhí)法及其他方面為國家?guī)淼暮锰幎嗝礃酚^，必須承認(rèn)，新技術(shù)令人喜憂參半。

10.

正確答案：你也可以相信，我們的法律制度最終會(huì)經(jīng)受一切挑戰(zhàn)，但同時(shí)仍要承認(rèn)，至少目前新技術(shù)在隱私權(quán)、競爭、產(chǎn)權(quán)及許多其他領(lǐng)域已經(jīng)帶來了司法問題。

正確答案：只有借助語言，人類才能夠?qū)τ谧鳛閭€(gè)體的自身有清晰的認(rèn)識：“我思故我在”，也才能夠形成一個(gè)社會(huì)——一個(gè)不同于靠本能生存的獸群的社會(huì)。

12.

正確答案：我們常常有這種感覺，本以為知道自己對某件事情的想法，或完全了解某件事情，但是，當(dāng)我們開始要把所了解的內(nèi)容用語言表達(dá)出來時(shí)，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)我們根本不清楚自己的想法。

13.

正確答案：人不僅僅是邏輯思維的機(jī)器。我們運(yùn)用語言很大程度上在于我們本能地想要把我們的感情表達(dá)清楚。

14.

正確答案：如果你即將開始大學(xué)生活，大部分課程都將通過語言來講授，而且要求你運(yùn)用語言作出反應(yīng)。大學(xué)畢業(yè)之后，在大多數(shù)工作中，語言將會(huì)更重要，而不是不重要。

15.

正確答案：一個(gè)人如果缺乏語言能力，那么，他一生的大部分時(shí)間將在思想和感情表達(dá)模糊、而且經(jīng)常被曲解的朦朧世界中摸索。

正確答案：年輕人總是抱怨，他們的父母與現(xiàn)代生活方式脫節(jié)，有占有欲和支配欲，不相信子女應(yīng)付危機(jī)的能力。

17.

正確答案：普遍認(rèn)為，做父母的常常低估他們處于青少年時(shí)期的孩子，而且還忘記了自己年輕時(shí)的感受。

18.

正確答案：他們覺得被成年人世界排除在外，尚未被大人們所接受，于是就創(chuàng)造了屬于他們自己的文化和社會(huì)。

19.

正確答案：在長時(shí)間完全受父母控制的童年時(shí)代結(jié)束之后，產(chǎn)生這種態(tài)度非常自然。但是，這種態(tài)度忽略了這樣一個(gè)事實(shí)：此時(shí)他們要開始對自己負(fù)起責(zé)任。

20.

正確答案：你可以讓他人，尤其是你的父母，高高興興地按你希望的方式行事。你可以用你的責(zé)任感和進(jìn)取心打動(dòng)他人，那樣他們才會(huì)準(zhǔn)許你做你想做的事。
