33.根据以下材料，回答26-30题As the latest crop of students pen their undergraduate application form and weigh up their options, it may be worth considering just how the point, purpose and value of a degree has changed and what Generation Z need to consider as they start the third stage of their educational journey.Millennials were told that if you did well in school, got a decent degree, you would be set up for life. But that promise has been found wanting. As degrees became universal, they became devalued. Education was no longer a secure route of social mobility. Today 28 percent of graduates in the UK are in non-graduate roles, a percentage which is double the average among OECD countries.This is not to say that there is no point in getting a degree, but rather stress that a degree is not for everyone, that the switch from classroom to lecture hall is not an inevitable one and that other options are available.?Thankfully, there are signs that this is already happening, with Generation Z seeking to learn from their millennial predecessors, even if parents and teachers tend to be still set in the degree mindset. Employers have long seen the advantages of hiring school leavers who often prove themselves to be more committed and loyal employees than graduates. Many too are seeing the advantages of scrapping a degree requirement for certain roles.For those for whom a degree is the desired route, consider that this may well be the first of many. In this age of generalists, it pays to have specific knowledge or skills. Postgraduates now earn 40 percent more than graduates. When more and more of us have a degree, it makes sense to have two.It is unlikely that Generation Z will be done with education at 18 or 21; they will need to be constantly up-skilling throughout their career to stay employable. It has been estimated that this generation, due to the pressures of technology, the wish for personal fulfilment and desire for diversity, will work for 17 different employers over the course of their working life and have five different careers. Education, and not just knowledge gained on campus, will be a core part of Generation Z's career trajectory.Older generations often talk about their degree in the present and personal tense: I am a geographer 'or' I am a classist. Their sons or daughters would never say such a thing; it's as if they already know that their degree won't define them in the same way.the author suggests that Generation Z should____ A.B. A. be careful in choosing a college? C.D. B. be diligent at each educational stage? E.F. C. reassess the necessity of college education? G.H. D. postpone their undergraduate application

No friendship will flourish without regular attention. Find things you enjoy doing with your friends and commit the time to them, even when you’re busy or stressed.Give your friends space. Don’t be too clingy or needy, and be sure not to abuse your friend’s generosity. Everyone needs space to be alone or spend time with other people as well.Don’t set too many rules and expectations. Instead, allow your friendship to evolve naturally. You’re both unique individuals so your friendship probably won't develop exactly as you expect.Be forgiving.

Researchers at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles， California found that a 12-minute bed-side visit with a dog can help reduce anxiety levels by 24percent in heart failure patients， compared to a 10percent drop when patients had a visit from a human volunteer， and no drop in patients who had no visit． Results of the 76-patient study were presented last week at the American Heart Association's yearly Scientific Sessions in Dallas， Texas． The study was supported by the Pet Care Trust Foundation， a non-profit（非赢利）organization which promotes human-animal interaction and connection． In the study， effects of dog and volunteer visits were compared with those of volunteers only， and with patients who had no visits and stayed at rest． Heart pressures were monitored and patients were asked to answer a list of anxiety assessment questions before and after the visits． Although critical pressure measures also fell， suggesting improved heart function， the most obvious reaction was seen in anxiety levels． "The first thing you notice is that the patient's facial expression， changes to a smile and the stress of the world seems to be lifted off their shoulders，" study author Kathy Cole said． Feelings of disappointment and helplessness are common among heart patients， Cole said， and just three nights in a hospital is enough to make some patients feel anxious and uncomfortable． During the visit， the furry friend is allowed to lie on the bed next to the patient with its head within two feet of the patient's． Most patients petted the dog， while others talked about the dog with human volunteers in conversation． Dogs used in the study are specially trained animal-assisted therapy dogs that go through a series of trainings， assessments and certifications（认证）to qualify as therapy dogs． There are different kinds of dogs． Researchers used everything from Bernese mountain dogs to small schnauzers． However， a dog doesn't have to be specially trained to have a calming effect on a person． In fact， the animal doesn't even have to be a dog in order to help． "As long as the animal has meaning to the patient， or a relationship with the patient， it can help calm the patient，" Cole said．（1）We learn from the text that heart patients benefit most from visits by ____ ．A． a volunteer on his own B． a well-trained dog aloneC． a non-profit organization D． a volunteer with a dog（2）The study shows that， for heart patients， ____ ．A． their recovery depends on contact with animalsB． their heart pressure reduces if they stay at restC． their contact with animals improves their conditionD． their anxiety is reduced if they stay longer in hospital（3）According to Cole， the change of patients' expression on the face indicates that ____ ．A． they are mentally comfortedB． they are happy with the experimentC． their treatment time may be shortenedD． their heart function is returning to normal（4）This report concentrates on ____ ．A． the treatment of heart diseaseB． the cure power of animalsC． the relationship between dogs and humans D． the promotion of human-animal interaction
