ACADEMICS AREN’T THE PROBLEM

Studies about how students use their time might shed light on whether they face increased academic and financial pressures compared with earlier eras

Based on data about how students are spending time, academic or financial pressures don’t seem to be greater now than a generation ago

The data show that full-time students in all types of colleges study much less now than they did a generation ago - a full 10 hours a week less Students are also receiving significantly higher grades So it appears that academic pressures are, in fact, considerably lower than they used to be

The time-use data don’t suggest that students feel greater financial pressures, either When the time savings and lower opportunity costs are factored in, college appears less expensive for most students than it was in the 1960s And though there are now full-time students working to pay while in college, they study less even when paid work choices are held constantly

In other words, full-time students do not appear to be studying less in order to work more They appear to be studying less and spending the extra time on leisure activities or fun It seems hard to imagine that students feeling increased financial pressures would respond by taking more leisure

Based on how students are spending their time then, it doesn’t look as though academic or financial pressures are greater now than a generation ago The time-use data don’t speak directly to social pressures, and it may well be that these have become more intense lately

In one recent set of data, students reported spending more than 23 hours per week either socializing with friends or playing on the computer for fun Social

activities, in person or on computer, would seem to have become the major focus of

campus life It is hard to tell what kinds of pressures would be associated with this change

before is based on _

A what students achieve with greater load B how students spend their time

C how students work through college D what college demands from

students

Câu 36: Research studies have shown that pressures put on students nowadays

are

A not greater than the past B getting ever greater

C much greater than the past D more diversified

Câu 37: Students get higher grades as

A students study much harder B academic workload appears more

attractive

C academic workload appears less demanding D college’s facilities are

much better

Câu 38: According to the author, the fact that students have more time for leisure

is a proof that _

A financial pressure on students is not a problem

B academic work disinterests them

C they are active with extra-curricular activities

D they cannot find extra jobs

Câu 39: All factors considered, college now seems _

C much more expensive D less expensive

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 45 to 54

Panel painting, common in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Europe, involved a painstaking, laborious process Wooden planks were joined, covered with gesso

to prepare the surface for painting, and then polished smooth with special tools

On this perfect surface, the artist would sketch a composition with chalk, refine it with inks, and then begin the deliberate process of applying thin layers of

egg tempera paint (egg yolk in which pigments are suspended) with small brushes The successive layering of these meticulously applied paints produced the final translucent colors

Backgrounds or gold were made by carefully applying sheets of gold leaf, and then embellishing of decorating the gold leaf by punching it with a metal rod on which a pattern had been embossed Every step in the process was slow and deliberate The quick-drying tempera demanded that the artist know exactly where each stroke be placed before the brush met the panel, and it required the use of fine brushes It was, therefore, an ideal technique for emphasizing the hard linear edges and pure, fine areas of color that were so much a part of the overall aesthetic of the time The notion that an artist could or would dash off

an idea in a fit of spontaneous inspiration was completely alien to these deliberately produced works

Furthermore, making these paintings was so time-consuming that it demanded assistance All such work was done by collective enterprise in the workshops

The painter or master who is credited with having created the painting may have designed the work and overseen its production, but it is highly unlikely that the artist’s hand applied every stroke of the brush More likely, numerous assistants,

who had been trained to imitate the artist’s style, applied the paint The

carpenter’s shop probably provided the frame and perhaps supplied the panel, and yet another shop supplied the gold Thus, not only many hands, but also many shops were involved in the final product

In spite of problems with their condition, restoration, and preservation, many panel paintings have survived, and today many of them are housed in museum collections

Restoration
