There is a time when many Americans question whether a college degree is worth its cost. However, a recent study found Americans who completed college or university are more likely to have friends and are less lonely than those who only finished high school.

Daniel Cox, adviser of the Survey Center on American Life, said that in general Americans are experiencing a “friend depression”, meaning a decrease in their number of friends. Ox noted “Americans have fewer close friends today than we did in the early '90s. But men and those without a college degree were particularly affected because they seem to have experienced a much more dramatic decrease over that period.”

The Center questioned 5,054 people this past summer. It found Americans with a college degree feel more socially connected and are more active in their communities than people who didn't go to college. As a result, those who completed college report feeling less lonely.

Prior to research showed that Americans who didn't go to college are less likely to marry. A 2012 study found that college-educated women were much more likely to get married than women who dropped out of high school. A 2013 study of people born between 1957 and 1964 found that both men and women who didn't finish high school were less likely to marry than those with more education.

Today,65 percent of college-educated Americans over age 25 are married. About 50 percent of people with a high school qualification, or who dropped out of high school, are married. Those numbers were different in 1990, when marriage rates among the college educated were at 69 percent, compared with 63 percent for those who did not go to college, says a Pew research report.

The American Community Life Survey found around 1 in 10 college graduates say they have no close social connections. That number rises among Americans without a degree, where almost 1 in 4 say they have no close friends.

28. According to the text, the college or university students face __________ than those who only finished high

school.

B. more lonely and make less friends

C. less lonely and make less friends

D. less lonely and make more friends

29. Why are some studies mentioned in paragraph 4?

A. To provide proof for the research.

B. To analyze the reasons for loneliness.

C. To show the importance of marriage.

D. To compare differences in generations.

30. In which column of a magazine may this text appear?

A. Entertainment.                   B. Education.    

C. Technology.                       D. Health.

31. What is the text mainly about?

A. Social problems in the American society.

Every 17 years, billions of insects, known as the cicadas ( 蝉) of Brood X, rise from the earth. This year, perhaps, there will be trillions! Brood X is one of the largest groups of cicadas and will appear sometime in May, 2021 in 15 states, from Georgia in the south to New York in the northeast.

Many scientists and insect lovers say they ’re looking forward to the red-eyed insects after a 17-year wait. One of them is Mike Raupp, an insect expert at the University of Maryland. " What they're waiting for is the soil temperatures to reach about 18 ℃, and then they're going to be and out of the ground. ”

When the insects come out of the ground, they will drop their skin, get their wings and try to go up on the treetops to escape from the predators (天敌). Once on the treetops, the male cicadas will "sing " their mating songs to draw the females. If she likes the singing, they will mate and reproduce. About six weeks later, the nymphs ( 蛹) will fall off the treetops and go into the ground underground, the insects will quietly feed off tree roots and wait for another 17 years to start the party on the treetops all over again.

Raupp explained that some cicadas appear every year, but they have a much shorter life cycle and stay alive in two ways. They are green and can hide in nature. Also, they can fly very fast. So, they avoid being caught by predators.

Periodical cicadas like Brood X have neither of those lifesaving methods. To continue the species, he said billions of periodical cicadas will appear all at the same time. So, their predators can't eat all of them. Also, by coming out every 17 years, they aren’t a dependable food source for predators and simply outlive them.

32. When did Brood X appear last time?

A. In 2004.               B. In 2015.             C. In 2017.            D. In 2020.

A. They are one of the largest groups of insects.      

B. They expose themselves for their red eyes.

C. They live on tree roots when underground.        

D. They can fly very fast to escape being hunted.

34. Why does Brood X come out in large quantities?

A. It's a good time to mate and reproduce.           

B. It's a good way to keep the species alive.

C. It's easy for them to hunt for food.               

D. It's easy to defeat their predators.

35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
