"I would tell anyone who’s thinking about going back to school that it’ s not as difficult as you think," says Karen Jonaitis, a woman, last year, at 47, earned a bachelor’ s degree in business administration at a college. "I realized that I would not move up in my career without a degree. "
A generation ago, Jonaitis would have been a rarity(稀罕) in college. Today about 6 million people aged 25 or older are studying in American institutions of higher learning. Whether they are returning to improve job skills or for the love of learning, adults no longer see age as a deterrent(障碍) . Most people jump at the opportunity to do something new. Some of them make changes they’d been thinking about all their lives. Others return to school out of economic necessity.
New developments in neuroscience(神经科学) and psychology are confirming that there are few age limits on how much the brain can absorb and for how long—if you stay active. Continuing to learn keeps us mentally in shape and able to learn more. On mental tests, experts discovered, half to two-thirds of the people in their 70s were as intellectually quick as people in their 30s. Those who fell below average tended to be people who had not made a lifelong habit of reading. They also were less physically active.
Many adult students say learning is easier for them today. They bring different skills to the classroom, and they’re less upset if something goes wrong. They have a real thirst, a real desire to learn. [br] Older people return to colleges for the following reasons EXCEPT that of______.
选项
A、improving their job skills
B、economic necessity
C、improving their health
D、their love of learning
答案
C
解析
题干意为“年龄大的人返回学校不是出于下面哪个原因”。由第二段中的“Whether they are returning to improve job skills or for the love of learning,adults no longer see age as a deterrent.”可知,有些人是为了提高工作技能,有些人是出于热爱学习而返回学校。由第二段中的“Others return to school out of economic necessity”可知,有些人是出于经济需要而返回学校。文中并没说返回学校是为了改善健康状况。所以为了改善健康状况并不是年龄大的人返回学校的原因,故选C。
