8、ets things done. The founder of two tech companies, Tesla Motors and SpaceX, is bringing electric vehicles to mass market and 26 humans to live on other planets.

9、hypothetical ones.A lot of clever people are 28 about artificial intelligence, fearing that robots will one day become so 29 that theyll murder all of us.

Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.In the real world, nobody cares that you went to an Ivy League schoolA) As a high school ju

15、nior, everything in my life revolved around getting into the right college. I diligently attended my SAT, ACT, and Advanced Placement test preparation courses. I juggled （尽力应付）cross-country and track schedules, newspaper staff, and my churchs youth group and drama team. I didnt drink, party, or even

16、 do much dating. The right college, I thought, was one with prestige, one with a name. It didnt have to be the Ivy League, but it needed to be “top school.”B) Looking back now, nine years later, I cant remember exactly what it was about these universities that made them seem so much better. Was it a

17、 curriculum that appeared more rigorous, perhaps? Or an alumni network that I hoped would open doors down the line? Maybe. “I do think there are advantages to schools with more recognition,” notes Marybeth Gasman, a professor of higher education at the University of Pennsylvania. “I dont necessarily

18、 think thats a reason to go to one.”C) In reflection, my firm belief in the power of the brand was naive, not to mention a bit snobby. I quickly passed over state schools and southern schools, believing their curriculums to be automatically inferior to northeastern or western counterparts. Instead,

19、I dreamed of living in New York City and my parents obliged me with a visit to New York Universitys (NYU) campus. During the tour, tuition fees were discussed. (NYU is consistently ranked one of the countrys most expensive schools, with room and board costs totaling upwards of $64,000 a year.) Up un

20、til then, I hadnt truly realized just how expensive an education can be. Over the next few months, I realized not only could I not afford my dream school, I couldnt even afford the ones where Id been accepted. City University of New York (CUNY), Rutgers University, and Indiana University were out of

21、 reach as were Mississippi State and the University of Alabama, where I would have to pay out-of-state fees. Further complicating my college search was a flourishing stack careerI wanted to keep running but my times werent quite fast enough to secure a scholarship.D) And so, at 11pm on the night of

22、Georgia State Universitys (GSU) midnight deadline, I applied online. Rated No.466 overall on Forbes Lists Top Colleges, No. 183 in Research Universities, and No. 108 in the South, I cant say it was my top choice. Still, the track coach had offered me a walk-on spot, and I actually found the urban At

23、lanta campus a decent consolation prize after New York City.E) While it may have been practical, it wasnt prestigious, But heres the thing: I loved my “lower-tier” (低层次的) university. (I use the term “low-tier” cautiously, because GSU is a well-regarded research institution that attracts high quality

24、 professors and faculty from all over the country.) We are taught to believe that only by going to the best schools and getting the best grades can we escape the rat race and build a better future. But what if lower-tier colleges and universities were the ticket to escaping the rat race? After all,

25、where else can you leave school with a decent degreebut without a lifetime of debt?F) My school didnt come pre-packaged like the more popular options, so we were left to take care of ourselves, figuring out city life and trying to complete degree programs that no one was championing for us to succee

26、d in. What Im saying is, I loved my university because it taught us all to be resourceful and we could make what we wanted out of it.G) I was lucky enough to have my tuition covered by a lottery-funded scholarship called HOPE (Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally). When I started college, the HO

27、PE scholarship was funded by the state of Georgia and offered to graduating high school seniors with a GPA of 3.0 or higher. Living costs and books I paid for with money earned during high school, supplemented by a small college fund my deceased grandfather left for me and a modest savings account m

28、y parents created when I was born.H) So what about all that name recognition? Sure, many of my colleagues and competitors have more glamorous alma maters（母校）than I do. As a journalist, I have competed against NYU, Columbia, and Northeastern graduates for jobs. And yet, not a single interviewer has e

29、ver asked me about my educational background. In fact, almost every interview Ive ever had was due to a connectionone that Ive gained through pure determination, not a school brand.I) According to The Boston Globe, students who earned their bachelors in 2012 have an average monthly loan payment of $

30、312, which is one-third more than those who graduated in 2004. Ultimately, thats the thing universities dont want to admit. Private universities are money-making institutions. If you can afford to buy prestige, thats your choice. For the rest of us, however, our hearty lower-tiered universities are

31、just fine, thank you.J) Wealthy universities talk up the benefits their name will give graduates; namely, strong alumni networks, star faculty, and a rsum boost. But you neednt attend an Ivy League school to reap those rewards. Ludacris and the former CEO of Bank of America Ken Lewis are alumni of m

32、y college, as well as VICEs first female editor-in-chief, Ellis Jones. Successful people tend to be successful no matter where they go to school. And lower-tier schools can have alumni networks just as strong as their big name counterparts. In fact, lower-tier school alumni networks are arguably stronger, because fellow alumni recognize that you didnt necessarily have an easy path to follow. They might be more willing to offer career help, because your less famous school denotes that, like them., you are also full of energy and perseveranc
