Zhang Wenchi is a 19-year-old student of Hubei Xiangyang No.1 High School. He is very brave and always helps others in need.
On March 26, 2012, Zhang donated bone marrow (骨髓) at the Navy General Hospital of Beijing. He is the youngest and the first high school student to do it. Last April, Zhang became a blood donor on his 18th birthday. He also joined the China Marrow Donor Program that day. Six months later, his bone marrow was chosen as a match for a 4-year-old leukemia (白血病) patient from Fujian.
Zhang was studying for the National College Entrance Examination (NCEE) when the call from the Chinese Bone Marrow Donors came. He found out that the patient could not wait, or things might get worse. With the support of his family and school, Zhang arrived at the hospital in Beijing the very next day.
“Saving a life is more important than taking an exam, and having the chance to help cure a patient does not allow for more thought,” Zhang said.
The transplant operation (移植手术) was a success. After that, Zhang Wenchi was in good health and he came back to school soon. Zhang said then the most important task for him was the exam. He hoped that his dream of becoming a pilot could come true.
Now the NCEE has been over for more than a month, and what about Zhang Wenchi’s marks? To our great relief, it’s known that he has earned 540 points, which means he can be admitted into Beihang University (formerly Beijing University of Aeronautics & Astronautics). Therefore he can realize his dream of flying in the sky.
Zhang’s deed has earned him nationwide respect, and some have given him the nickname, “the most beautiful post-90s student”.

    The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go, because college will help them earn more money, become “better” people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t go.

    But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don’t fit the pattern are becoming more and more, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students get in the way of each other’s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the competition for admission to graduate school. Others find no interest in their studies, and drop out often encouraged by college administrators. Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves―they are spoiled and they are expecting too much.

    But that is a condemnation(谴责)of the students as a whole, and does not explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We’ve been told that young people have to go to college because our economy cannot take in an army of untrained 18 year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer take in an army of trained 22-year-olds, either.

    Some adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys upside down, it seems, and thinking of the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college does not make people intelligent(clever), ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things―maybe it is just the other way round, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are only the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy (异端邪说) to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But opposite evidence is beginning to mount up.

56. According to the passage all of the following statements are true EXCEPT_______.

A. about half of the high school graduates continue their studies at school

B. college graduates are believed to be able to earn more money

C. administrators often encourage college students to drop out

D. more and more young people are found unfit for college.

57. Which of the following is one of some observers’ opinions?

A. The students expect so much that they are not satisfied with the hard college life.

B. The economic situation is so discouraging that the youth have to attend college.

C. College should improve because of so much campus unhappiness.

D. Colleges provide more chances of good jobs than anywhere else.

58. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. Our college experience proves that those surveys are incorrect.

B. The surveys may remind us of our beautiful college experiences.

C. The surveys should all be re-examined according to our college experiences.

D. Our college experiences may make us misunderstand the results of the surveys.

59. What is the main purpose of this passage?

A. To argue against the idea that college is the best place for all young people.

B. To put forward an idea that college should not be the first choice.

C. To value young people’s further education in colleges.

D. To persuade young people into working after the completion of high school.
