根据以下内容回答46-36题
Is College a Worthy Investment?
A．Why are we spending so much money on college? Andwhy are we so unhappy about it? We all seem to  agree that a college education is wonderful, and yet strangely we worry when we see families investing   so much in this supposedly essential good. Maybe it's time to ask a question that seems almost sacrilegious (大不敬) : is all this investment in college education really worth it?
B． The answer. I fear, is no. For an increasing number of kids, the extra time and money spent pursuing a college diploma will leave them worse off than they were before they set foot on campus.
C．For my entire adult life, a good education has been the most important thing for middle-class households. My parents spent more educating my sister and me than they spent on their house, and  they're not the only ones.., and, of course, for an increasing number of families, most of the cost of  their house is actually the cost of living in a good school district. Questioning the value of a college    education seems a bit like questioning the value of happiness, or tim.
D．The average price of all goods and services has risen about 50 percent. But the price of a college    education has nearly doubled in that time. Is the education that today's students are getting twice as  good? Are new workers twice as smart? Have they become somehow massively more expensive to educate?
E ．Perhaps a bit. Richard Vedder, an Ohio University economics professor, says, "I look at the data, and   I see college costs rising faster than inflation up to the mid-1980s by 1 percent a year. Now I see them  rising 3to 4 percent a year over inflation. What has happened? The federal government has started  dropping money out of airplanes. " Aid has increased, subsidized (补贴的) loans have become    available, and "the universities have gotten the money. " Economist Bryan Caplan, who is writing a  book about education, agrees: "It's a giant waste of resources that will continue as long as the    subsidies continue. "
F．Promotional literature for colleges and student loans often speaks of debt as an "investment in   yourself. " But an investment is supposed to generate income to pay off the loans. More than haft of all recent graduates are tmemployed or in jobs that do not require a degree, and the amount of student- loan debt carried by households has increased more than five times since 1999. These graduates were    told that a diploma was all they needed to succeed, but it won't even get them out of the spare  bedroom at Mom and Dad's. For many, the most visible result of their four years is the loan payments, which now average hundreds of dollars a month on loan balances in the tens of thousands.
G．It's true about the money--sort of. College graduates now make 80 percent more than people who have only a high-school diploma, and though there are no precise estimates, the wage premium (高出的部分) for an outstanding school seems to be even higher. But that's not true of every student. It's very  easy to spend four years majoring in English literature and come out no more employable than you    were before you went in. Conversely, chemical engineers straight out of school can easily make almost four times the wages of an entry-level high-sch0ol graduate.
H． James Heckman, the Nobel Prize-winning economist, has examined how the returns on education  break down for individuals with different backgrounds and levels of ability. "Even with these high  prices, you're still finding a high return for individuals who are bright and motivated," he says. On the  other hand, "if you're not college ready, then the answer is no, it's not worth it. " Experts tend to    agree that for the average student, college is still worth it today, but they also agree that the rapid  increase in price is eating up more and more of the potential return. For borderline students,  tuition ( 学费) rise can push those returns into negative territory.
I． Everyone seems to agree that the government, and parents, should be rethinking how we invest in  higher education-and that employers need to rethink the increasing use of college degrees as crude screening tools for jobs that don't really require college skills, "Employers seeing a surplus of college  graduates and looking to fill jobs are just adding that requirement," says Vedder. "In fact, a college    degree becomes a job requirement for becoming a bar-tender. "
J． We have started to see some change on the fmance side. A law passed in 2007 allows many students to  cap their loan payment at 10 percent of their income and forgives any balance after 25 years. Bnt of course, that doesn't control the cost of education; it just shifts it to taxpayers. It also encourages  gradimtes to choose lower-paying careers, which reduces the financial return to education still further. "You're subsidizing people to become priests and poets and so forth," says Heckman. "You may think that's a good thing, or you may not. " Either way it will be expensive for the government.
K． What might be a lot cheaper is putting more kids to work. Caplan notes that work also btfilds valuable skills--probably more valuable for kids who don't naturally love sitting in a classroom. Heckman agrees wholeheartedly:" People are different, and those abilities can be shaped. That's what we've learned, and public policy should recognize that. "
L． Heckman would like to see more apprenticeship-style (学徒式) programs, where kids can learn in the  workplace  learn not just specific job skills, but the kind of "soft skills," like getting to work on time  and getting along with a team, that are crucial for career success, "It's about having mentors (指导者) and having workplace-based education," he says. "Time  and again I've seen examples of this kind of program working. "
M． Ah, but how do we get there from here? With better public policy, hopefully, but also by making  better individual decisions. "Historically markets have been able to handle these things," says Vedder, "and I think eventually markets will handle this one. ff it doesn't improve soon, people are going to wake up and ask, 'Why am I going to college?'"


Caplan suggests that kids who don't love school go to work,

4. Questions57-47 are based on the following passage.
　　Junk food is everywhere. We're eating way too much of it. Most of us know what we're doing and yet we do it anyway.
　　So here's a suggestion offered by two researchers at the Rand Corporation: Why not take a lesson from alcohol control policies and apply them to where food is sold and how it's displayed?
　　"Many policy measures to control obesity (肥胖症．assume that people consciously and rationally choose what and how much they eat and therefore focus on providing information and more access to healthier foods," note the two researchers.
　　"In contrast," the researchers continue, "many regulations that don't assume people make rational choices have been successfully applied to control alcohol, a substance -- like food -- of which immoderate consumption leads to serious health problems."
　　The research references studies of people's behavior with food and alcohol and results of alcohol restrictions, and then lists five regulations that the researchers think might be promising if applied to junk foods. Among them:
　　Density restrictions: licenses to sell alcohol aren't handed out unplanned to all comers but are allotted (分配．based on the number of places in an area that already sell alcohol. These make alcohol less easy to get and reduce the number of psychological cues to drink.
　　Similarly, the researchers say, being presented with junk food stimulates our desire to eat it. So why not limit the density of food outlets, particularly ones that sell food rich in empty calories? And why not limit sale of food in places that aren't primarily food stores?
　　Display and sales restrictions: California has a rule prohibiting alcohol displays near the cash registers in gas stations, and in most places you can't buy alcohol at drive-through facilities. At supermarkets, food companies pay to have their wares in places where they're easily seen. One could remove junk food to the back of the store and ban them from the shelves at checkout lines. The other measures include restricting portion sizes, taxing and prohibiting special price deals for junk foods, and placing warning labels on the products.

What does the author say about junk food?
A．People should be educated not to eat too much.
B．It is widely consumed despite its ill reputation.
C．Its temptation is too strong for people to resist.
D．It causes more harm than is generally realized.
