问题     The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become "better" people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t go.
    But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don’t fit the pattern are becoming more numerous,  and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxi; college students interfere with each other’s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school. Others find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out--often encouraged by college administrators.
    Some observers say that the fault is with the young people themselves--they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that’s a condemnation of the students as whole, and doesn’t explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right.  We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can’t absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-year-olds, either.
    Some administrators, some educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only lace for every young person after the completion of high school. Perhaps college doesn’t make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things.

选项 A、people used to question the value of education
B、people used to have full confidence in higher education
C、all high school graduates went to college
D、very few high school graduates chose to go to college

答案B

解析 见第一段第二句,从中可知过去人们对大学教育的作用给予了充分的肯定。
