Every year, it costs British students more and more to attend university.   【小題1】  So is a university degree really worth it?
In 2006, the UK government started to allow universities in England and Wales to charge British students tuition fees. As a result, more than 80% of students in England and Wales now take out a student loan in order to go to university.  【小題2】   The average student in England and Wales now graduates from university with debts of around ￡12,000. Students of medicine, who study for longer, usually have debts of more than ￡20,000. That is a lot of money.  【小題3】   They even struggle to pay rent on a house, because they have to start paying back the student loan after graduating.
You might think that a British person with a degree will find it easy to get a well-paid job. However, most people in “white-collar jobs” seem to have a degree these days, so there is a lot of competition.    【小題4】  Like everyone else, graduates usually have to start at the bottom and work their way up. That can be very frustrating for them, since they are often over-qualified for the work they are doing. While at university, they had dreams of getting an exciting, challenging job. Therefore, life after university ends up being quite disappointing for a lot of graduates.
【小題5】   Students have always been seen as not having a lot of money, but “student poverty” is now considered a real problem in the UK. Most British students expect to get a loan, part-time job or summer job. Worse still, however, an increasing number of students turn to crime to support themselves.

A．They are graduating with larger and larger debts. 
B．All these lead to the reevaluation of a university degree. 
C．It means graduates cannot afford to buy a house for many years. 
D．Sometimes they have to borrow money from relatives and friends. 
E. If solved improperly, the debts might cause serious social problems.
F. They use the loan to pay for tuition fees, books and living expenses.
G. Also, British companies tend to value work experience over a piece of paper.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容, 從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。
Ten years ago, I used to be very fit. __【小題1】__ I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those days, I didn’t earn very much. I had a job in an office. It wasn’t a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing.
__【小題2】__ The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn’t have any time for things like that any more.
There’s a lot of stress (壓力) in my job. Perhaps that’s why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling my glass to the top. Then I had another glass, and then another. __ 【小題3】__ I never used to smoke at all.
Two months ago, I had a heart attack. At first I just couldn’t believe it. “I’m too young.” I said.  Luckily it wasn’t very serious. I was in hospital a few days and they did a lot of tests. __【小題4】__ He also advised me to work less and get more exercise. But I just haven’t any time! __【小題5】__
Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something like I used to do. But if I do that, I won’t earn as much. I have a family to support. I have to think of them, too. I just don’t know what I should do. What do you think?

A．Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job.
B．My job takes everything out of me!
C．I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends.
