Students need more options and pathways to success, and more active guidance toward the best decisions considering their individual prospects and labormarket realities. Weve tried to keep all doors open for all students, but weve created a system that provides inadequate guidance and poor options for many, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Many of them arrive at college unprepared for academic work, burdened by financial difficulties and a lack of knowledge of the world of higher education, and bound to work fulltime to support their families. The characteristics of the institutions students from disadvantaged backgrounds attend often worsen their difficulties. munity and technical colleges receive too little funding from states. They also face too low a motive to respond to labor market forces by expanding capacity in occupational or workforce programs in fields with strong labor market demand. In addition, many institutions provide students with too little structure, allowing them to wander aimlessly, with little direction or knowledge of what they want to do, and with very little academic or career consulting to guide them. Thus, many end up in general studies. Choosing a path to a certificate or associate degree in a highdemand occupation increases a students chances of earning a qualification with high labor market value, but most are never told of these possibilities. Changing these outes will require more and better supports for students with barriers to overe, but it will also require strengthening institutions so they have the structure and the resources needed to promote success among their students. It will require helping students make better choices about which college to attend and what to study — and about whether a purely academic path right after high school is best for them. Evidence is accumulating that restructuring developmental education, by tailoring requirements to what students plan to study and integrating this work with forcredit classes, can increase academic success. More dollars for students to cover their expenses are, of course, important. But simplifying the financialaid system, making it more flexible and building in better motives for student performance could make it much more effective. Experiments that allow financial aid to be used for noncredit programs in highdemand fields, with carefully designed limits to protect program quality and integrity, have the potential to strengthen opportunities for students. Early education for all students about careers and the labor market is essential to helping students reach their goals, as is developing a range of highquality career and technical pathways that start in high school — including apprenticeships (學(xué)徒) and other forms of workbased learning — so students with weaker academic skills can also earn qualifications and get good jobs. Policy makers and postsecondary institutions have a responsibility to implement constructive change; opening the doors of college to all who can benefit is a good start — but its far from sufficient. We must meet students where they are and recognize the impact of their circumstances on their chances for success.

But there may be a much simpler way of cheering yourself up ...simply by shining a bright light into your ear canal. Up to one in four Britons suffers from seasonal affective disorder (SAD), with seven percent of the population having fullblown SAD. It is caused by the brain not receiving enough daylight which is needed to produce serotonin, a hormone that regulates moods. Symptoms range from being mildly sleepy to depression and insomnia, but a cure might be in sight. Two clinical trials, run by Valkee who makes a device that can shine light into your ear and the University of Oulu in Finland, have found that carefully targeted light can help prevent the condition. Juuso Nissil， Valkees cofounder and chief scientist said, “We presented earlier that the human brain is sensitive to light. These two clinical trials demonstrate that channeling bright light via the ear canal into the brains photosensitive areas effectively prevents and treats seasonal affective disorder.” The University of Oulu reported that in their first study, 92 percent of the patients with seasonal affective disorder achieved full remission (緩解) after a month of daily 8 to 12minute doses of light from Valkee. Timo Takala, chief physician at the Oulu Deaconess Institute said, “These two trials show that bright light channeled into the brain via the ear canal is an important future method of treating seasonal affective disorder.” Valkee launched its bright light headset in August 2010. It is classed as a medical device under EU regulations. The device channels bright light direct to the brain via the ear canal to prevent and cure depression, mood swings and even circadian rhythm disorders such as jet lag. It costs ￡185 and looks like an iPod — only the earphones emit light rather than sound. Anyone wanting to copy the effects with a flashlight is likely to be disappointed, it emits the wrong kind of light that is apparently too yellow. 語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。一項(xiàng)新的研究表明，將一束亮光射進(jìn)你的耳道就能讓你的心情好起來。 3．What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs? A．Light as well as sound is essential for curing SAD. B．Receiving enough daylight makes for a good mood. C．Theres a long way to go for curing SAD thoroughly. D．The number of Britons having SAD continues growing. 解析：選B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Up to one in four Britons suffers from ... a hormone that regulates moods”可知，如果大腦未接收到足夠的陽光，這會(huì)影響身體產(chǎn)生一種能夠調(diào)節(jié)情緒的荷爾蒙，進(jìn)而引起季節(jié)性情感障礙，故可推知，充足的陽光會(huì)促成愉快的心情，故B項(xiàng)正確。 4．What can the bright light headset do? A．Produce more serotonin to reduce winter blues. B．Help one to recover from physical problems. C．Make people in a low mood feel better. D．Turn yellow light into bright light. 解析：選C　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容，尤其是倒數(shù)第三段“The device channels bright light direct to ... disorders such as jet lag”可知，這種裝置會(huì)使情緒低落的人的心情變好。 5．What can be the best title of the passage? A．Shine a light in your ear — brighten your mood in winter B．Keep the sunshine in your heart — enjoy a colorful life C．The most efficient way to prevent and cure SAD D．The harmful effects caused by SAD 解析：選A　標(biāo)題歸納題。通讀全文可知，文章主要介紹了一項(xiàng)新的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)：將一速亮光射進(jìn)耳道就能讓人們的心情好起來。故A項(xiàng)作文章標(biāo)題最為貼切。 C (2019南通、揚(yáng)州、泰州、淮安三調(diào)測(cè)試) Larger Brain Size Linked to Longer Life in Deer The size of a female animals brain may determine whether they live longer and have more healthy offspring (后代), according to new research led by the University of Cambridge. The study, published in the Royal Society Open Science journal, shows that female red deer with larger brains live longer and have more surviving offspring than those with smaller brains. Brain size is passed down through the generations. This is the first extensive study of individual differences in brain size in wild mam
