11、上将该项涂黑。AMany high school students consider a college education useless. Therefore, they choose not to go to college. If youre one of them, think again. Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there.Schools and universities are the first sources of knowledge. W

12、e take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation. More knowledge will be gained after you start working, but without an education, that job will not be within easy reach. Knowledge leads to knowledge.While limited within the walls of the educational institutions, we openly explor

13、e other cultures of the world. We come to know that ours is not the only culture. Other cultures have valuable insights to share, enriching our own. Education also makes us want to travel and interact with various cultures, broadening our horizons.When theres a downturn（衰退）in the economy, those who

14、attended college will be more likely to find a new job than those who only finished grade school and have a limited skills set. The more education you have, the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary.When youre skilful and know

15、ledgeable, you get to “rub knees” with people of similar backgrounds and tastes. It means a good education leads to excellent networking.

18、nlarging social networks.C. Becoming a humorous person.D. Experiencing diverse cultures.BFrom a child I was fond of reading, and all the little money that came into my hands was ever laid out in books. Pleased with the Pilgrims Progress, my first collection was of John Bunyans works, in separate lit

19、tle volumes. I afterwards sold them to enable me to buy R. Burtons Historical Collections; they were small chapmens books and cheap, 40 or 50 in all. My fathers little library consisted chiefly of books in religion, most of which I read, and have since often regretted that, at a time when I had such

20、 a thirst for knowledge; more proper books had not fallen in my way, since I realized that I should not be a clergyman（牧师）. Plutarchs Lives there was, in which I read abundantly, and I still think that time spent to great advantage. There was also a book of Defoes, called An Essay on Projects, and a

21、nother of Dr. Mathers called Essays to Do Good which perhaps gave me a turn of thinking that had an influence on some of the principal future events of my life.This bookish preference at length determined my father to make me a printer, though he had already one son (James) of that profession. In 17

22、17, my brother James returned from England with a press and letters to set up his business in Boston. I liked it much better than that of my father, but still have a thirst for the sea. To prevent the concerned effect of such a desire, my father was impatient to have me bound to my brother. I stood

23、out some time but at last was persuaded, and signed the contract, when I was yet but 12 years old.

24、seful hand to my brother.I now had access to better books. An acquaintance with the apprentices of booksellers, enabled me sometimes to borrow a small one, which I was careful to return soon and clean. Often I sat up in my room reading the greatest part of the night, when the book was borrowed in th

25、e evening and to be returned early in the morning, in case it should be missed or wanted. And after some time an imaginative tradesman Mr. Matthew Adams who had a pretty collection of books and who visited our printing house frequently took notice of me, invited me to his library, and very kindly le

29、 feel anxious, as if you have lost your connection to the world. “Nomophobia”（无手机恐惧症）affects teenagers and adults alike. You can even do an online test to see if you have it. Last week, researchers from Hong Kong warned that nomophobia is infecting everyone. Their study found that people who use the

30、ir phones to store, share and access personal memories suffer most. When users were asked to describe how they felt about their phones, words such as “hurt” (neck pain was often reported) and “alone”predicted higher levels of nomophobia.“The findings of our study suggest that users regard smartphone

31、s as their extended selves and get attached to the devices,” said Dr. Kim Ki Joon. “People experience feelings of anxiety and unpleasantness when separated from their phones.” Meanwhile, an American study shows that smartphone separation can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.So ca

32、n being without your phone really give you separation anxiety?
