During the fall months at high school guidance counseling programs, juniors run to the stage to participate in the exercise, which will help them understand that it is not "where you go" that matters. They hold posters featuring the names and faces of famous people while their peers and parents shout out with confidence the names of elite colleges they assume the celebrities attended.
The "oohs" and "aahs" follow as the audience learns that Steven Spielberg, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates dropped out of college, that Oprah Winfrey is an alumna (女毕业生) of Tennessee State and that Ken Burns graduated from Hampshire College. If a few stressed students and their anxious parents benefit from this information, it is a worthwhile exercise.
Even better is giving the students an assignment to identify the happy, successful people in their own circle of family, friends, co-workers and neighbors and challenging them to go and ask "if or where they went to college?" as a means of broadening the conversation in their search for a life after high school.
The key to success in college and beyond has more to do with what students do with their time during college than where they choose to attend. A long-term study of 6,335 college graduates published by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that graduating from a college where entering students have higher SAT scores—one marker of elite colleges—didn’t pay off in higher post-graduation income. Researchers found that students who applied to several elite schools but didn’t attend them—either because of rejection or by their own choice—are more likely to earn high incomes later than students who actually attended elite schools.
In a summary of the findings, the bureau says that "evidently, students’ motivation, ambition and desire to learn have a much stronger effect on their subsequent success than average academic ability of their classmates. "
The late author Loren Pope, who wrote Locking Beyond the Ivy League and Colleges That Change Lives noted that the greater the opportunity for engagement and critical, creative and collaborative learning with faculty, peers and community, the more likely the chance for future success. [br] What’s the important factor leading to students’ success in college and beyond?
选项
A、They attend elite colleges.
B、They have tried their best in college.
C、They have a higher SAT score.
D、They have famous alumni.
答案
B
解析
由题干中的success in college and beyond定位到第四段第一句。细节辨认题。由定位句可知,学生们在大学及毕业后获得成功的关键更多取决于他们在大学期间的所作所为,而不是他们选择就读哪所大学。故正确答案为B)。
