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,

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 that follow

Jazz has been called “the art of expression set to music”, and “America’s great contribution to music” It has functioned as popular art and enjoyed periods of fairly widespread public response, in the “jazz age” of the 1920s, in the “swing era” of the late 1930s and in the peak popularity of modern jazz in the late 1950s The standard legend about Jazz is that it originated around the end of the 19th century in New Orleans and moved up the Mississippi River to Memphis, St Louis, and finally to Chicago It welded together the elements of Ragtime, marching band music, and the Blues However, the influences of what led to those early sounds goes back to tribal African drum beats and European

musical structures Buddy Bolden, a New Orleans barber and cornet player, is generally considered to have been the first real Jazz musician, around 1891

What made Jazz significantly different from the other earlier forms of music was the use of improvisation Jazz displayed a break from traditional music where composers wrote an entire piece of

music on paper, leaving the musicians to break their backs playing exactly what was written on the score In a Jazz piece, however, the song is simply a starting point, or sort of skeletal guide for the Jazz

musicians to improvise around Actually, many of the early Jazz musicians were bad sight readers and some couldn’t even read music at all Generally speaking, these early musicians couldn’t make very

much money and were stuck working menial jobs to make a living The second wave of New Orleans

Jazz musicians included such memorable players as Joe Oliver, Kid Ory, and Jelly Roll Morton These

men formed small bands and took the music of earlier musicians, improved its complexity, and gained

greater success This music is known as “hot Jazz” due to the enormously fast speeds and rhythmic drive

A young cornet player by the name of Louis Armstrong was discovered by Joe Oliver in New Orleans He soon grew up to become one of the greatest and most successful musicians of all time, and later one of the biggest stars in the world The impact of Armstrong and other talented early Jazz musicians changed the way we look at music

Question 55: The Passage answers which of the following questions?

A Why did Ragtime, marching band music, and the Blues lose popularity after about 1900?
