Section C

Directions: In this section, you will heara passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the secondtime, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have justheard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should checkwhat you have written.

Now listen to the passage.

Perhaps because going to college is so much a part of the American dream, many people go for no particular reason.
Some go because their parents expect it, others because it’s what their friends are doing.
Then, there’s the belief that a college degree will automatically ensure a good job and high pay.
Some students drag through four years, attending classes, or skipping them as the case may be,
reading only what can’t be avoided, looking for less demanding courses, and never being touched or changed in any important way.
For a few of these people, college provides no satisfaction, yet because of parental or peer pressure, they cannot voluntarily leave.
They stop trying in the hope that their teachers will make the decision for them by failing them.
To put it bluntly, unless you’re willing to make your college years count, you might be better off doing something else.
Not everyone should attend college, nor should everyone who does attend begin right after high school.
Many college students profit from taking a year or so off.
A year out in the world helps some people to sort out their priorities and goals.
If you’re really going to get something out of going to college, you have to make it mean something,
and to do that you must have some idea why you’re there, what you hope to get out of it, and probably even what you hope to become.
