Passage 3
A college education is not just preparation for a career, however. In addition to taking courses in their major field of study, students enroll in elective courses. They may take classes that help them understand more about people, nature, government, or the arts. Well-rounded people are likely to be better citizens, better parents and more interesing and interested individuals.
Although two-thirds of American high school graduates go on to study in college,recent high school graduates no longer dominate the college campuses. Adults of all ages return to the classroom, either for new vocational skills or for personal growth. In 1966, for example, almost 20% of American college students were over age 35. Some 500,000 college students are over 50. American faith in the value of education is exemplified by the rising number of Americans who have at least a bachelor’s degree. Almost one-quarter of Americans over age 25 are college graduates. College attendance is not reserved for the wealthy and the academically talented. It is available to any one who wants to go. Right now about 15million students are taking advantage of the opportunity. For those not academically prepared to handle college-level work, about 80% of undergraduate schools offer remedial ( sometimes called developmental ) classes in reading, writing, and math.
The U. S. has about 3,700 institutions of higher learning. About 1,600 of these are 2-year schools. More than 2,000 are 4-year schools, many of which also have graduate programs. With so many colleges to choose from, how do prospective students find the right one for hteir nedds? Information about schools is easy to obtain. Students can write for printed information and applications. Some schools even mail out video. Students can write for printed information and applications. Some schools
even mail out video. Students can also use computer programs that allow them to specify particular interests and print out a list of schools that fit their description.
Most institutions of higher learning also have web sites. Many schools send college representatives to high school and two-year colleges to secruit students. Finally, many students visit college, take tours of campuses, and talk to counselors.

Passage 4
A man from New York is suing four big fast-food companies. Caesar
Barber is going to court because he says that high-fat foods at
McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, and KFC Corporation destroyed his
health. Barber says that he ate at these restaurants four or five times
a week for many years. He claims that this diet made him very overweight.
According to Mr. Barber, obesity (肥胖症) gave him diabetes (糖尿病),
high blood pressure, and, two heart attacks. When a reporter asked him
why he ate there so often, he sai d,“I was single, it was quick, and I’m
not a very good cook.”
Barber’s lawyer, Samu el Hirsch, says that the suit has two different
purposes. The first is to make fast-food restaurants offer healthier
foods in smaller amounts. The suit also asks that fast foods have warning
labels similar to labels on cigarettes Mr. Hirsch says that these labels
are necessary because the effects of fast foods are similar to the effects
of cigarettes, alcohol, and illegal drugs such as heroin.
Two others may soon join Barber’s suit. One is Frances Winn, a
57-year-old retired nurse. Ms. Winn says that she has eaten at fast-food
restaurants at least twice a week since 1975. She says that this habit
has caused several health problems, including high blood pressure. Isreal
Bradley,59,said eating a pound of French fries every week gave him high
blood pressure and diabetes.
Officals of the fast-food industry attacked the legal action,
National Restaurant Association representative Katharine Kim called it
ridiculous. KFC spokeswoman Amy Sherwood claimed KFC offers several kind
of foods for people who want to eat healthier. Legal expert Walter Olson
agreed that the suit had little chance of success. He said that people
were free to make different choices.
Whether or not the suit is successful, there is no doubt that
Americans have a weight problem. Medical experts say that obesity will
soon be America’s number one killed. They have encouraged fast-food
companies to offer healthier foods.

Passage 3
A college education is not just preparation for a career, however. In addition to taking courses in their major field of study, students enroll in elective courses. They may take classes that help them understand more about people, nature, government, or the arts. Well-rounded people are likely to be better citizens, better parents and more interesing and interested individuals.
Although two-thirds of American high school graduates go on to study in college,recent high school graduates no longer dominate the college campuses. Adults of all ages return to the classroom, either for new vocational skills or for personal growth. In 1966, for example, almost 20% of American college students were over age 35. Some 500,000 college students are over 50. American faith in the value of education is exemplified by the rising number of Americans who have at least a bachelor’s degree. Almost one-quarter of Americans over age 25 are college graduates. College attendance is not reserved for the wealthy and the academically talented. It is available to any one who wants to go. Right now about 15million students are taking advantage of the opportunity. For those not academically prepared to handle college-level work, about 80% of undergraduate schools offer remedial ( sometimes called developmental ) classes in reading, writing, and math.
The U. S. has about 3,700 institutions of higher learning. About 1,600 of these are 2-year schools. More than 2,000 are 4-year schools, many of which also have graduate programs. With so many colleges to choose from, how do prospective students find the right one for hteir nedds? Information about schools is easy to obtain. Students can write for printed information and applications. Some schools even mail out video. Students can write for printed information and applications. Some schools
even mail out video. Students can also use computer programs that allow them to specify particular interests and print out a list of schools that fit their description.
Most institutions of higher learning also have web sites. Many schools send college representatives to high school and two-year colleges to secruit students. Finally, many students visit college, take tours of campuses, and talk to counselors.

Passage 4
A man from New York is suing four big fast-food companies. Caesar
Barber is going to court because he says that high-fat foods at
McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, and KFC Corporation destroyed his
health. Barber says that he ate at these restaurants four or five times
a week for many years. He claims that this diet made him very overweight.
According to Mr. Barber, obesity (肥胖症) gave him diabetes (糖尿病),
high blood pressure, and, two heart attacks. When a reporter asked him
why he ate there so often, he sai d,“I was single, it was quick, and I’m
not a very good cook.”
Barber’s lawyer, Samu el Hirsch, says that the suit has two different
purposes. The first is to make fast-food restaurants offer healthier
foods in smaller amounts. The suit also asks that fast foods have warning
labels similar to labels on cigarettes Mr. Hirsch says that these labels
are necessary because the effects of fast foods are similar to the effects
of cigarettes, alcohol, and illegal drugs such as heroin.
Two others may soon join Barber’s suit. One is Frances Winn, a
57-year-old retired nurse. Ms. Winn says that she has eaten at fast-food
restaurants at least twice a week since 1975. She says that this habit
has caused several health problems, including high blood pressure. Isreal
Bradley,59,said eating a pound of French fries every week gave him high
blood pressure and diabetes.
Officals of the fast-food industry attacked the legal action,
National Restaurant Association representative Katharine Kim called it
ridiculous. KFC spokeswoman Amy Sherwood claimed KFC offers several kind
of foods for people who want to eat healthier. Legal expert Walter Olson
agreed that the suit had little chance of success. He said that people
were free to make different choices.
Whether or not the suit is successful, there is no doubt that
Americans have a weight problem. Medical experts say that obesity will
soon be America’s number one killed. They have encouraged fast-food
companies to offer healthier foods.
