In Britain and other countries, young people sometimes take a "gap year", a year off between high school and college. This idea never gained a big following in the United States. Recent news reports have suggested that interest may be growing, though there are no official numbers. Mr. Deacon says the most common reason is to have a chance to travel. But he says international students may take a gap year to meet requirements at home for military duty. Some high school graduates see a year off as a chance to recover after twelve years of required education. But it can also give students a chance to explore their interests. Many colleges and universities support gap-year projects by permitting students to delay their admission. Experts say students can grow emotionally and intellectually as they work at something they enjoy. Of course, a gap year is not for everyone. Students might miss their friends who go on directly to college. And parents might worry that their children will decide not to go to college once they take time off. Another concern is money. A year off, away from home, can be costly. Holly Bull is the president of the Center for Interim Programs. Her company specializes in helping students plan their gap year. She notes that several books have been written about this subject. She says these books along with media attention and the availability of information on the Internet have increased interest in the idea of a year off.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
22. What is the meaning of "gap year"?
23. According to Mr. Deacon, why do international students take a gap year?
24. What are parents usually worried about if their children take a gap year?
25. What does Miss Holly Bull’s company do?
选项
A、They worry that their children will miss their friends.
B、They are worried about their children’s safety when traveling.
C、They worry that their children cannot find their real interest.
D、They worry that their children will choose not to go to college.
答案
D
解析
细节题。问题中的信息提示词是parents,不是问老师或学生自己。文章提到父母有两个担心:一是担心孩子决定不上大学,二是休学一年花费不小。故应选D。
