Question

【題目】閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文內容回答問題。

The American community college system is a place for second chance. Community colleges are two-year schools that thrived (興盛) in California after the end of World War II. Many American military personnel （軍人）were returning to civilian life after their service to the country. Some of these young people decided not to go to college after high school so that they could serve their country during that time of need. When they returned, many of them turned to the community college system in California to continue their education.

The United States government introduced the G. 1. Bill at that time giving returning service men and women educational benefits to help them get back to school. Soon community colleges and new school districts began appearing throughout the country. Community colleges helped military personnel go back into college life easily. It was a low cost, less stressful than going back to a four-year university.

Today, community colleges attract students from all parts of the world. In California, a large population of students comes from Asia and Latin America. These schools provide a second chance to international students who may have experienced difficulties attending college in their native countries. American students who may have not done well academically in high school, and did not enter a university, can turn to community college for a second chance, too.

Community colleges provide a much-needed resource for all these students. Former military personnel, international students, and high school students alike, are all welcome. One of the best things about community colleges is that they accept anyone at any time. This means people who have not found what they want to do in life can try more than one area of study. If they don't like one course of study, they can always try something else. That is the beauty of community colleges.

這篇短文給我們介紹了美國的社區(qū)大學體系。這種體系源自于二戰(zhàn)之后的加利福尼亞，那時候很多軍人結束了兵役，回歸平民的生活。這些年輕人中很多都沒有上大學，于是社區(qū)大學就給了他們第二次接受高等教育的機會。而現(xiàn)在社區(qū)大學歡迎來自世界各地的學生。
