American movies create myths about college life in the United States. These stories are entertaining, but they are not true. You have to look beyond Hollywood movies to understand what college is really like. 
Thanks to the movies, many people believe that college students party and socialize more than they study. Movies almost never show students working hard in class or in the library. Instead, movies show them eating, talking, hanging out, or dancing to loud music at wild parties. While it is true that American students have the freedom to participate in activities, they also have academic responsibilities. In order to succeed, they have to attend classes and study hard.
Another movie myth is that athletics is the only important extracurricular activity. In fact, there is a wide variety of nonacademic activities on campus such as special clubs, service organizations, art, and theater programs. This variety allows students to choose what interests them. Even more important, after graduation, students’ résumés look better to employers if they list a few extracurricular activities.
Most students in the movies can easily afford higher education. If only this were true! While it is true that some American college students are wealthy, most are from families with moderate incomes. Up to 80% of them get some type of financial aid. Students from middle and lower-income families often work part-time throughout their college years. There is one thing that many college students have in common, but it is not something you will see in the movies. They have parents who think higher education is a priority, a necessary and important part of their children's lives.
Movies about college life usually have characters that are extreme in some way: super athletic, super intelligent, super wealthy, super glamorous, etc. Movies use these stereotypes, along with other myths of romance and adventure because audiences like going to movies that include these elements. Of course, real college students are not like movie characters at all.
So the next time you want a taste of the college experience, do not go to the movies. Look at some college websites or brochures instead. Take a walk around your local college campus. Visit a few classes. True, you may not be able to see the same people or exciting action you will see in the movies, but you can be sure that there are plenty of academic adventures going on all around you !

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 43 to 50.
 The need for a surgical operation, especially an emergency operation, almost always comes as a severe shock to the patient and his family. Despite modern advances, most people still have an irrational fear of hospitals and anaesthetics. Patients do not often believe they really need surgery- cutting into a part of the body as opposed to treatment with drugs.
In the early year of the 20th century, there was little specialization in surgery. A good surgeon was capable of performing almost every operation that had been advised up to that time. Today the situation is different. Operations are now being carried out that were not even dreamed of fifty years ago. The heart can be safely opened and its valves repaired. Clogged blood vessels can be clean out, and broken ones mended and replaced. A lung, the whole stomach, or even part of the brain can be removed and still permit the patient to live a comfortable and satisfactory life. However, not every surgeon wants to, or is qualified to carry out every type of modern operation.
The scope of surgery has increase remarkably in the past decades. Its safety has increased, too. Deaths from most operations are about 20% of what they were in 1910 and surgery has been extended in many directions, for example, to certain types of birth defects in new born babies, and at the other end of the scale, to life-saving operation for the octogenarian. The hospital stay after surgery has been shortened to as little as a week for most major operations. Most patients are out of bed on the day after an operation and may be back at work in two or three weeks.
One of the most revolutionary areas of modern surgery is that of organ transplants. Until a few decades ago, no person, except an identical twins, was able to accept into his body the tissues of another person without reacting against them and eventually killing them. Recently, however, it has been discovered that with the use of X-rays and special drugs, it is possible to graft tissues from one person to another which will survive for periods of a year or more. Kidneys have been successfully transplanted between non-identical twins. Heart and lung transplants have also been reasonably successful.
“Spare parts” surgery, the simple routine replacement of all worn-out organs by new ones, is still a dream of the future but surgery is ready for such miracles. In the meantime, you can be happy if the doctors say to you: “Yes, I think it is possible to operate on you for this condition.”
Question 43. Most people are afraid of being operated on _______.
 A. in spite of improvements in modern surgery	 
 B. because they think modern drugs are dangerous
 C. because they do not believe they need anesthetics	
 D. unless it is an emergency operation
Question 44. Surgeons in the early 20th century compared with modern ones _____ .
 A. had less to learn about surgery	B. needed more knowledge
 C. were more trusted by their patients	D. could perform every operation known today 
Question 45. A patient can still live a comfortable life even after the removal of _____.
 A. his brain	
 B. a major organ such as the stomach or one lung
 C. his lungs	
 D. part of the stomach or the whole liver
Question 46. The word “clogged” is most likely to correspond to _____.
 A. clean	 B. blocked	C. covered	 D. unwashed
Question 47. Today, compared with 1910 _________.
 A. 20% fewer of all operation patients die
 B. 20% of all operation patients recover
 C. operation deaths have increased by 20%	
 D. five times fewer patients die after being operated on
Question 48. What is the similar meaning to the word “octogenarian ” ?
 A. eighteen-year-old	 B. person in his eighties
 C. person having eighth operation	 D. eye specialist
Question 49. The main difficulty with organ transplants is _____.
 A. it is difficult to find organs of the same size
 B. only identical twins can give permission for their organs to be exchanged
 C. the body’s tendency to reject alien tissues
 D. the patient is not allowed to use drugs after them
Question 50. You can be happy if your surgeon can operate because it means ______.
 A. he thinks your condition may be curable	B. he is a good doctor
 C. he knows you will survive	D. you are getting better already.
