If you feel defeated by your college experiences, you are not alone—many of today's college students are suffering from a form of shock. Lisa is a good example of a student in shock. She is an attractive, intelligent twenty-year-old college junior at a state university. She was a straight-A student in high school and a member of the basketball and softball teams there. Now, only three years later, Lisa is miserable. She has changed her major four times and is forced to hold down two part-time jobs in order to pay her tuition (学费). She suffers from sleeping and eating disorders and has no close friends. Sometimes she bursts out crying for no apparent reason. What is happening to Lisa happens to millions of college students each year. As a result, about one-quarter of the student population at any time will suffer from symptoms of depression. Of that group, almost half will experience depression intense enough to call for professional help. But many reject that idea, because they don't want people to think there's something wrong with them. There are three reasons why today's college students are suffering more than in earlier generations. Today, with high divorce rate and many parents experiencing their own psychological difficulties, the traditional family is not always available for guidance and support. Another problem is financial pressure. In the last decade, tuition costs have soared. At the same time there has been a reduction in federal aid to students. College loans are now much harder to obtain. Consequently, most students must work at least part-time. A final cause of student shock is the large selection of majors available. Because of the magnitude (重要性) and difficulty of choosing a major, college can prove a time of great indecision (优柔寡断). Many students switch majors. As a result, it is becoming common to take five or six years to get a degree. It can be depressing to students to be faced with the added tuition costs. While there is no magic cure-all for student shock, colleges have begun to research into the psychological problems of students, and promote their psychological counseling centers to handle the greater demand for services. In addition, stress-management workshops have become common on college campuses. Instructors teach students various techniques for handling stress.1. What is the main idea of the passage?A) Going to college turns out to be an unhappy experience for many students.B) Shock in college life is quite common and students need to learn to overcome it.C) Students should consider the pressure in college carefully before entering.D) Stress-related problems are increasing on college campuses and schools have responded. 2. What problems actually does Lisa have?A) She is no longer a top student in college.B) She is puzzled about which major to choose.C) She may suffer from some mental problems. D) She got frightened for some unknown disease.3. According to the passage, how many students are suffering from depression at any time?A) 66%.B) 50%.C) 25%. D) 12.5%.4. The author seems to imply that some students who have serious depression ________.A) should drop out of collegeB) don't want to get professional help C) can always handle it on their ownD) can't focus on their studies5. What can be concluded from the passage about the author's suggestion on the solution to student shock?A) Students should find more time to communicate with their family members.B) Students should spend more time on studies rather than part-time jobs.C) Colleges should offer more financial help to students so that they don't need to worry about money.D) Colleges should provide more mental support so that students can handle pressure better.
