语篇解读：

十年前，人们很重视中高等教育，学徒工作被认为是辍学者的一种选择，而不是一种大胆的职业选择。

而如今，情况已发生了改变，年轻人被鼓励认真思考学术是否适合他们，如若不适合，他们可以放弃教育而开始创业。

根据第一段的内容及第二段中的“Youngpeoplearebeingencouragedtothinkcarefullyaboutwhetheracademiaisrightforthem...rangingfromwebdevelopmenttosales”可知，此处指的应是第一段中所讲述的情况随着时间的推移发生了变化。

所以A项正确。

文章第二、三段告诉我们，如今不擅长学术的年轻人被鼓励放弃接受教育而开始创业。

第四、五段指出，TomHartley没受过什么教育，12岁就开始创业，并且他的汽车生意经营得很成功。

由此可知，昔日的辍学者未来可能会在商界取得成功。

所以C项正确。

10．WhatdoestheauthorsayaboutTomHartley?

A．Heattachesmorevaluetoexperiencethantoeducation.

B．Hewassupportedinfoundinghisfirstcompany.

C．Heiswelleducatedandfarsighted.

根据第四段中的“foundedhisfirstcompanyatjust12yearsold”可知，小小年纪就创业，Tom应该是很勇敢的；再根据第五段中的“hehadsupportedhissonCarl’sdecisiontoleaveschoolandjointhefamilybusinessinstead”可知，支持自己儿子辍学经商的Tom是开明的，故选D。

11．Howdoestheauthorprovehisview?
