As was expected, he cleared his thrat and started t say, ”Er…What…What d yu really want t d in the grgeus future?“
I was silent fr a mment playing with the cell phne. I kept thinking, ”Shuld I tell him my true thughts? What if he gets angry? What if I let him dwn?” Later I replied, “Well, I want t be a writer.”
I guessed this may nt be the answer he wuld expect. But surprisingly, “Interesting idea!” he answered. I was shcked, speaking in a lw vice with hesitatin.

Early next mrning we packed up the equipment and set ff fr the cast. We didn’t talk much, but enjyed the sund f the seabirds and the sight f the castline.
There were n big waves and blinding sunlight at that time. “Let’s see if we are lucky,” he said, picked up a web basket with a rpe tied and threw it int the sea. We waited a while, then my father std up and said, “Give me a hand with this,” and we pulled up the crab cage nt the deck.
T ur jy, the cage was filled with dzens f sft-shell crabs. Squatting(蹲)dwn, we watched them fr a mment. At first, they fught against each ther t climb ut hard, trying t escape. Many were pulled back int the cage. Later, sme gave up, but there were still sme crabs trying t escape again and again.

(C)
Recent years have seen a small increase in unemplyment rates due t slwing f the ecnmy. The fact that many cllege graduates are finding it difficult t land a jb has sparked nline discussins n the cst f educatin and the returns n it, with many agreeing with the ntin that “educatin is useless”.
Stries like a persn with a dctrate’s degree frm Zhejiang University is delivering fd, and verseas-returned graduates are selling ht-pt ingredients have caused many t questin the value f educatin. Mrever, the fact that abut 36,000 fewer candidates have applied t take the pstgraduate exam in 2024, the first decline in numbers in years, has als fueled the “educatin is useless thery.
Is educatin truly wrthless? This questin has resurfaced due t several factrs.
The wide spread f higher educatin has significantly increased the number f cllege graduates, reducing the value f cllege degrees. As the jb market becmes ver-crwded with graduates, the scarcity f high-level talents has becme apparent, particularly in fields such as the humanities. Fr example, mre than 900 institutins in China ffer English majr, making it the mst cmmn degree prgram, yet there’s a shrtage f tp talents wh are prficient in English and have a gd knwledge abut the differences in Chinese and freign apprach t fields such as internatinal relatins and jurnalism.
The declining returns n the investment in educatin have given rise t the “educatin is useless” thery. Given the challenging jb market, many believe cllege educatin des nt guarantee any srt f emplyment, let alne a suitable jb. And with varius ecnmic pprtunities available, the ntin that ne can becme financially successful even withut frmal educatin is becming increasingly acceptable.
In light f these develpments cmbined effrts need t be made t change the situatin. Fr instance, universities must take measures t integrate educatin, research and industry, while enhancing cperatin with enterprises thrugh tailred talent training prgrams. Additinally, the authrities need t pay greater attentin t vcatinal educatin, an imprtant part f China’s educatinal system. Students, parents and sciety, n their part, shuld abandn their bias against vcatinal training, because it integrates educatin with career prspects thrughut the learning prcess, ffering targeted, technical and practical training which allws students t master their skills which can get them well-paying jbs in the future.
Develping a crrect view f emplyment and career chice is key t abandning the ntin f “educatin being useless”. Peple, especially students, must understand the current emplyment landscape, their psitining, and strengths and weaknesses. While realizing that a cllege degree is n lnger a ticket t emplyment, cllege students shuld leverage educatin resurces t enrich their prfessinal knwledge and cmpetitiveness. And yuths shuld apprach vcatinal educatin with an pen mind in rder t make the mst f what the jb market has t ffer.
Educatin is nt synnymus with earning mney, nr des a cllege degree guarantee financial success. The value f educatin is knwledge, which we need t make infrmed decisins nt nly in ur prfessinal life but als in ur scial and ther fields f life.
53. What are the main reasns fr the recent rise in the belief that ”educatin is useless”?
A. Ecnmic slwdwn and jb scarcity.
B. Sad stries abut educated individuals.
C. Decline in pstgraduate exam applicants.
D. Emphasis n practical skills ver qualificatins.
54. Hw can universities cntribute t imprving the current situatin?
A. By fcusing slely n academic research.
B. By integrating educatin, research, and industry.
C. By ignring cperatin with enterprises.
D By eliminating vcatinal educatin curses.
55. The underlined wrd leverage in paragraph 7 can be best replaced by___________.
A. limitB. abandnC. balanceD. maximize
56. What is the authr’s attitude twards the develpment f vcatinal educatin?
A. Negative and pessimisticB. Psitive and supprtive
C. Balanced and bjectiveD. Unclear and ambiguus

My father asked me t chat with him fr a while. Actually, I was unwilling t listen t his talking endlessly as he always did. My father was a lawyer, but I never wanted t g t law schl r fllw his path thrugh life.
As was expected, he cleared his thrat and started t say, ”Er…What…What d yu really want t d in the grgeus future?“
I was silent fr a mment playing with the cell phne. I kept thinking, ”Shuld I tell him my true thughts? What if he gets angry? What if I let him dwn?” Later I replied, “Well, I want t be a writer.”
I guessed this may nt be the answer he wuld expect. But surprisingly, “Interesting idea!” he answered. I was shcked, speaking in a lw vice with hesitatin.
“Are yu serius, dad?”
“Well, yu need cnfidence and gd preparatins, and yu still have plenty f time. Yu need t find ut what yu really enjy nw. Lk, it’s late. Let’s take the bat ut tmrrw mrning, just yu and me. Maybe we can catch sme crabs fr dinner, and we can talk mre.”
Early next mrning we packed up the equipment and set ff fr the cast. We didn’t talk much, but enjyed the sund f the seabirds and the sight f the castline.
There were n big waves and blinding sunlight at that time. “Let’s see if we are lucky,” he said, picked up a web basket with a rpe tied and threw it int the sea. We waited a while, then my father std up and said, “Give me a hand with this,” and we pulled up the crab cage nt the deck.
T ur jy, the cage was filled with dzens f sft-shell crabs. Squatting(蹲)dwn, we watched them fr a mment. At first, they fught against each ther t climb ut hard, trying t escape. Many were pulled back int the cage. Later, sme gave up, but there were still sme crabs trying t escape again and again.

Recent years have seen a small increase in unemplyment rates due t slwing f the ecnmy. The fact that many cllege graduates are finding it difficult t land a jb has sparked nline discussins n the cst f educatin and the returns n it, with many agreeing with the ntin that “educatin is useless”.
Stries like a persn with a dctrate’s degree frm Zhejiang University is delivering fd, and verseas-returned graduates are selling ht-pt ingredients have caused many t questin the value f educatin. Mrever, the fact that abut 36,000 fewer candidates have applied t take the pstgraduate exam in 2024, the first decline in numbers in years, has als fueled the “educatin is useless thery.
Is educatin truly wrthless? This questin has resurfaced due t several factrs.
The wide spread f higher educatin has significantly increased the number f cllege graduates, reducing the value f cllege degrees. As the jb market becmes ver-crwded with graduates, the scarcity f high-level talents has becme apparent, particularly in fields such as the humanities. Fr example, mre than 900 institutins in China ffer English majr, making it the mst cmmn degree prgram, yet there’s a shrtage f tp talents wh are prficient in English and have a gd knwledge abut the differences in Chinese and freign apprach t fields such as internatinal relatins and jurnalism.
The declining returns n the investment in educatin have given rise t the “educatin is useless” thery. Given the challenging jb market, many believe cllege educatin des nt guarantee any srt f emplyment, let alne a suitable jb. And with varius ecnmic pprtunities available, the ntin that ne can becme financially successful even withut frmal educatin is becming increasingly acceptable.
In light f these develpments cmbined effrts need t be made t change the situatin. Fr instance, universities must take measures t integrate educatin, research and industry, while enhancing cperatin with enterprises thrugh tailred talent training prgrams. Additinally, the authrities need t pay greater attentin t vcatinal educatin, an imprtant part f China’s educatinal system. Students, parents and sciety, n their part, shuld abandn their bias against vcatinal training, because it integrates educatin with career prspects thrughut the learning prcess, ffering targeted, technical and practical training which allws students t master their skills which can get them well-paying jbs in the future.
Develping a crrect view f emplyment and career chice is key t abandning the ntin f “educatin being useless”. Peple, especially students, must understand the current emplyment landscape, their psitining, and strengths and weaknesses. While realizing that a cllege degree is n lnger a ticket t emplyment, cllege students shuld leverage educatin resurces t enrich their prfessinal knwledge and cmpetitiveness. And yuths shuld apprach vcatinal educatin with an pen mind in rder t make the mst f what the jb market has t ffer.
Educatin is nt synnymus with earning mney, nr des a cllege degree guarantee financial success. The value f educatin is knwledge, which we need t make infrmed decisins nt nly in ur prfessinal life but als in ur scial and ther fields f life.
53. What are the main reasns fr the recent rise in the belief that ”educatin is useless”?
A. Ecnmic slwdwn and jb scarcity.
B. Sad stries abut educated individuals.
C. Decline in pstgraduate exam applicants.
D. Emphasis n practical skills ver qualificatins.
54. Hw can universities cntribute t imprving the current situatin?
A. By fcusing slely n academic research.
B. By integrating educatin, research, and industry.
C. By ignring cperatin with enterprises.
D By eliminating vcatinal educatin curses.
55. The underlined wrd leverage in paragraph 7 can be best replaced by___________.
A. limitB. abandnC. balanceD. maximize

A. Negative and pessimisticB. Psitive and supprtive
