3、day 68 percent actually matriculate (注册), with the majority enrolling in four-year or two-year programs designed to allow them transfer to four-year institutions.According to conventional wisdom, the rapid rise in the number of students attending college is cause for national celebration.

13、sk of making critical decisions, not on the basis of what we know, the findings of investigations, and the data of experiments, but on the basis of blind faith in professed experts. 6、我们的事业需要一批受过良好教育又能关心他人的年轻人，他们能团结一致，相互学习，积极参加四化建设。（band together; participate in）Our task needs a large group of well-

14、informed, caring young people who can band together, learn from each other, and actively participate in the four modernizations. 7、如果这所新学校要有生命活力的话，它培养的学生不仅要有扎实的基础和熟练的专业技能，还要有奉献精神。（be to endure; commit oneself）If it is to endure, the new school should help the students not only acquire a sold basic e
