21、Every society has its own special expressions, and ways of saying things. One popular expression in the United States is “hitting the books”. It means studying a subject with great effort.
One of the great challenges for students is taking tests. The students must do well on the lest to advance. A student who hits the books spends long hours preparing for a test. They read all their books carefully, and then read them a second time, and very often a third time. They make sure they know all the material the teacher has offered and prepare for every possible question. They study every night. They are “hitting the books.”
In the United States, most children begin attending school when they are six years old. Public education is free and most children go to schools near their homes. Schooling in these early years is fun. The children learn to read and write. But they also play games and go on trips. There is no reason at such an early age for them to hit the books.
This situation changes as children become older. The subjects become more difficult. Students must learn world history, math, and the life sciences. Tests become more common. Pressure is growing to hit the books, study hard and advance.
However, most serious students only really begin hitting the books for long hours when they reach high school.
High school students who hope to stop their education at a college or university must lake a special national test called the S-A-T. The test has two parts. The first part tests the students’ ability with numbers and mathematical skills, the second part tests the students’ ability in the English language.
The S-A-T test is very important. A high school student who gets a high score on the two parts of the test has a good opportunity to enter a top American college. For this reason, many students hit the books for months to prepare for the S-A-T.
All this adds up to a lot of work, studying, “hitting the books”. Knowledge is a prize that is not easy to gain.
【1】Students have many great challenges, one of which is ______.
A．reading books
B．taking tests
C．attending school
D．learning to write
【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

D．American students at an early age learn a lot of subjects.

D．a special national test
【4】Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A．Public Education in the United States.

Lu had planned to visit her parents in their hometown in East China's Shandong Province during the Spring Festival but after the outbreak of COVID-19, she chose to stay.
Lu didn't let her parents know she was working at the cabin hospital. When they asked for a video chat, Lu would say she was busy working at the Children's Hospital and instead let her husband and children chat with them.

25、 One night in 2010, Benjamin Schulz was working late in his “depressing” graduate student office when he turned his attention to the latest news on the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. While he was “staring sickly at the oil flowing out of the undersea pipe,” something inside shook Schulz, causing him to _________ his professional path. “Look at how messed up everything in the world is,” Schulz—who was in his second year of a computer science Ph.D. at the University of Missouri in Columbia at the time— _________ thinking. “What am I doing sitting here trying really hard to figure out why one wire is not connected to a different wire?”
The question was still lingering in Schulz’s mind when he attended a _________ in 2012. One night over dinner, he raised a question to a dozen or so professors and Ph.D.s from a top program in his field: “What makes you decide to get up and do what you do every day?” All experts and scholars were _________ for at least 5 seconds, before a junior scientist piped up to say that basic research can lead to important discoveries. After that, the conversation moved on to other topics. “No one else knows why they’re doing this. It’s not just me," Schulz recalls thinking.
Going into graduate school, he’d thought, “I’ll go live the life of the mind. And I’ll think deep, creative thoughts about interesting, relevant problems.” But the _________ he found was different. “I felt so knocked down into smaller and smaller and smaller comers... it was really depressing.”
_________, two months after his conference experience—still not able to shake the feeling that he wasn’t doing something impactful—he walked into his adviser’s office and _________ that he was quitting his Ph.D. His adviser, whom he’d enjoyed working with, was _________ of his decision and asked Schulz what he planed to do next. “I don’t know—I just, I have to do something different,” he recalls responding.
Roughly a quarter of U.S. science and engineering Ph.D. students leave their graduate program within the first three years. To some, that number is _________ —a problem to be solved. And in some cases, it may be—for example, if it’s due to discrimination, financial hardship, or other factors unrelated to personal or professional goals.
But for individual students like Schulz, dropping out is sometimes a better course of action than continuing to struggle in a program that isn’t fulfilling or that no longer __________ the student’s long-term goals.
