According to a new survey released by the Pew Research Center, only 40 percent of Americans felt that colleges provided a good value for the cost. At the same time

12、,86 percent of college graduates still felt the investment was a good one for them.There are a number of reasons for the widespread dissatisfaction with college. First, there are plenty of problems with higher educationpoor quality and out-of-control costs are two of the biggest，Second， it is true t

13、hat college is not for everyoneThere are plenty of rewarding and important careers that do not require collegeAnd due to the slow economy，there may in fact be more graduates than the current job market needsBesides，anti-college sentiment is nothing new Today，Microsofts Bill Gates or Apples Steve Job

14、sboth college dropouts-is often held up as evidence of why all that time sitting in class is better spent elsewhere However，getting a college education is still a good ideaCollege graduates earn more，and are more likely to have a job in the first placeAccording to the statistics last year，the averag

15、e weekly earnings for someone with some college but no degree were$712，compared to$1，038 for a college graduateThat is almost$17，000 over the course of a year and there is an even bigger divide for those with less educationMeanwhile，the unemployment rate was 9.2 percent for those with only some coll

16、ege and more than 10 percent for those with just a middle school degree，but it was 5.4 percent for college graduatesThe economic gaps between college completers and those with less education are getting larger Although most Americans surveyed by Pew feel doubtful about the value of a college degree，

17、an overwhelming majority of parents Pew surveyed still expect their children to go to college“It call be inferred that the increased doubt has not significantly influenced decision making，Pews Taylor says“Despite the concern about rising costs and other problems，college remains a universal desire in

20、025The Pew survey implies that_Athe cost of college education will decreaseBmost Americans still favor college education Cthe quality of college education will improve Dincreased doubt affects parentsdecision makingPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passageA major sociological（

21、社会学的）theory known as symbolic interactionism（符号互动论）offers some important clarification of how men and women are taught to fill different roles in societyThe key concept in symbolic interactionism is that communication makes a big difference in behavior：people act on the basis of messages they receiv

22、e from others，and how they understand those messages. This can be seen in a concept developed by sociologist Charles Horton Cooley known as the looking-glass selfBy the looking-glass self，Cooley meant the self-image that each of us develops according to the messages we receive from others；we think a

23、nd behave according to our understanding of those messagesIf, for example，a young girl is repeatedly told that she is pretty, she will come to believe that（1）she is in fact pretty，and（2）being pretty is an important thing in her lifeSimilarly，if she is told that she is not good（or not expected to be

24、good）at certain things（such as math） she will come to believe that she is not good at such things and would better off working at things she can be successful atThe likely product is a young woman who devotes a great deal of attention to her appearance，regards being pretty as a key to success in lif

25、e，and who is intimidated by anything involving numbersSince we know that young girls are given messages like these，and that young boys are given different messages，we can see a good part of how sex roles are taughtThere is little or no evidence of differences in what young girls and young girls and

26、boys can do，but the older children become，the greater the differences in the areas in which boys and girls are likely to stand out.26Symbolic interactionism helps to explain_Ahow to make a difference in peoples social behaviorBhow to make people understand different social roles Chow men and women l

30、s been widely accepted that when you join an online company，whatever data you put into it belongs to you That means you can sign up for one kind of email，import your contacts into that system，and if you later decide to switch to some other email service，you can export all your contacts from the firs
