Every year, it costs British students more and more to attend university. Students are graduating with larger and larger debts. __【1】__

In 2006, the UK government started to allow universities in England and Wales to charge British students tuition fees. More than 80 percent of students in England and Wales now take out a student loan（貸款）in order to go to university. They use the loan to pay for tuition fees, books and living expenses. The average student in England and Wales now graduates from university with debts of around 12,000. Students of medicine usually have debts of more than 20,000. That is a lot of money. It means graduates cannot afford to buy a house for many years. They even struggle to pay rent on a flat, because they have to start paying back the student loan after graduating. If you start to earn over 15,000 a year, the government takes repayments directly from your monthly salary. __【2】___

You might think that a British person with a degree will find it easy to get a well-paid job. However, most people in white-collar jobs seem to have a degree these days, so there is a lot of competition. Also, British companies tend to value work experience over a piece of paper. Like everyone else, graduates usually have to start at the bottom and work their way up. That can be very frustrating for them, since they are often over-qualified for the work they are doing. __【3】___ Therefore, life after university ends upbeing quite disappointing for a lot of graduates.

__【4】__ Even before the credit crisis started, the BBC stated: “The number of British students at UK universities has fallen for the first time in recent history, It looks like the figures will continue to decline, since loan companies are now telling some students that there are no loans available for them.

By contrast, things are now easier for students from other countries coming to study in the UK, since the value of the British pound has fallen. More international students come to Britain each year. The British universities offer more and more of the available places to richer international students rather than poorer British students. __【5】__

A. Some British people fear that, one day, there won’t be any university places left for British students at all.

B. Most British students expect to have to get a loan, part-time job or summer job.

C. So is a university degree really worth it?

D. Although the interest on student loans is quite low, it begins as soon as the student receives the loan.

E. Is it any surprise, therefore, that the average British person does not leave their parents’ home until they are 30 years old?

F. All of the above is beginning to make British people question whether a university degree is really worth the money.

G. While at university, they have dreams of getting an exciting, challenging job.

【題目】Census Bureau (人口普查局) data released Thursday show that 48 of the 50 most populous (人口稠密的) U.S. cities have grown since 2010, compared with only 40 of the top 50 in the first two years after the 2000 Census. Of the top 100, 93 have grown since 2010, compared with just 72 a decade ago.

Many of the biggest, such as New York, Houston, Phoenix, San Antonio, San Diego and Dallas, are outpacing the nation’s 1.7% growth rate since 2010.

“Urban America is recovering faster than more remote places,” said Robert Lang, a professor of urban affairs.

Only two big cities - Detroit and Cleveland - lost population between 2010 and 2012.

The urban recovery is led by mid-sized cities including Austin and Fort Worth and Charlotte. Austin grew 6.6% in two years, becoming the USA’s 11th-largest city. In 2000, it was No. 17.

Other trends:

New York City grew 2%, adding about 161,500 people since 2010. By far it is the USA’s most populous city.

The population of New Orleans continues to grow. In 2005 a terrible natural disaster happened to the city, causing the population to decrease. Now it has a population of three hundred and sixty-nine thousand. The number has grown by 7.4% since 2010.

Government budget crunches (緊縮) have put state capitals in difficulty. Half are behind the growth rate of their regions.

Perhaps the biggest exception to the capital crunch is Austin. It has grown more than 26% since 2000. Population expert William Frey says Austin enjoys a number of qualities that make it attractive. It’s a high-tech city with a state university. And it’s in Texas, an attractive place for newcomers. “In some ways it’s a model of what other cities would like to become,” he says.

Frey notes that Charlotte, which grew 5.4% since 2010 has grown into a high-tech and financial center whose industries do business not just with those in other U.S. cities but with the rest of the world.

【1】The statistics in Paragraph 1 suggest that _____.

A. there were fewer cities in the USA a decade ago

B. remote areas in the USA have more people now

C. the population in the USA has grown since 2010

D. many big cities in the USA face population problems

【2】William Frey thinks Austin’s growth _____.

A. is due to its education

B. is the steadiest in the USA

C. attracts well-educated people

D. deserves the attention of other cities

【3】According to the text, Charlotte _____.

A. is a political center

B. has grown slowly since 2010

【題目】It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.

The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品雜貨），saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.

I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.

People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性）as a whole. And it has influenced（影響）us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.

【1】Why was the bike so important to the couple?

A. They used it for work and daily life.

B. It was their only possession.

C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.

D. The man’s job was bike racing.

【2】We can infer from the text that ____________.

A. the couple worked 60 hours a week.

B. people were busy before Christmas

C. the stranger brought over the bike

D. life was hard for the young family.

【3】What do the couple learn from their experience?

A. Strangers are usually of little help

B. One should take care of their bike.

C. News reports make people famous.

D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.
