Who says college isn’t worth it? Graduates of each of these 4 small colleges can look for
ward to cashing in when they hit the job market.
Amherst College: Amherst, Massachusetts
Average earnings: $82,000
Harvard may be the more selective and well-known university in the state, but it’s Amhe
rst College’s graduates who are pulling in the salary. It’s known as one of the “Little Ivies”. D
espite Amherst’s tiny size (2,000 undergraduates in total), its alumni (校友) network is well-c
onnected and involved with the student body, which helps explain why graduates get top job
opportunities.
Lafayette College: Easton, Pennsylvania
Average earnings: $81,000
Another Little Ivy, Lafayette College graduates about the same number of students as A
mherst each year. Those graduates make nearly as much as Amherst graduates based on Zippi
a’s research. It’s entirely possible that Lafayette’s success in getting its graduates good jobs is
that it’s one of the few liberal arts (文科) colleges of its size that also offer its students engine
ering degrees.
Helene Fuld College of Nursing: New York, NY
Average earnings: $79,300
Nurses are in very high demand, according to Indeed, and that demand is expected to re
main strong. This contributes to the high pay offered to this nursing school’s graduates. So do
es its location in New York City, where salaries (and the cost of living) are higher.
Bates College: Lewiston, Maine
Average earnings: $75,700
Another small liberal arts college — and Little Ivy — Bates offers, among other things, a
small teacher-to-student rate. It is also noted that Bates has one of the most beautiful campuse
s around, helping draw a highly driven student body.

Next week, Pushpa Nagaraj will appear for her 720th exam. But she won’t be taking the
exam for herself. Since 2007, she has helped hundreds of visually challenged students take ex
ams by acting as their scribe (抄写员), reading them the questions and then writing down the
answers they give.
When Ms. Nagaraj was growing up in Bangalore, the IT capital of India, her father lost h
is job after a back injury. The family suddenly found itself struggling. She thought she’d have
to drop out of school. Luckily, her mother managed to raise enough money to educate her thro
ugh high school. Today, she’s a project coordinator for an IT firm.
One day, as she was helping a few visually damaged children cross the road, it struck her
how difficult even everyday tasks could be for them, let alone finishing their education. Ms.
Nagaraj wanted to help those children.
In India, most children with sight challenges do not have access to specialized schooling.
Even for those who attend mainstream classes, timed exams — key for Indian educational inst
itutions, where scores are especially important — present additional difficulties. “Many of the
m balk at the thought of writing exams and drop out,” says Ms. Sundararaman, a local educati
on expert. “And so, their education comes to a sudden stop, midway.” Having a scribe can be
the difference between passing and failing.
Over the past 12 years, word about Ms. Nagaraj’s work has spread — so much that she n
ow gets requests from people from all over India. She has also set up a network of volunteers
that posts requests through a WhatsApp group.
Ms. Nagaraj is keenly aware of ongoing challenges, chief of which is that, every once in
a while, she has to refuse requests from students to give them the answers during exams. Anot
her challenge is to expand the circle of scribes. Despite these, she is very grateful for having t
he opportunity to help others. “I have no complaints. Actually, I feel very blessed,” she says.
4．What do we know about Ms. Nagaraj from paragraph 2?
A．She suffered from a back injury. B．She struggled to finish her high school.
C．She raised enough money from an IT firm.D．She had to work to help support her famil
y.
5．What does the underlined word “balk” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Become hesitant. B．Feel unsatisfied.
C．Are hopeful. D．Are surprised.
6．What challenge does Ms. Nagaraj have to overcome?
A．The limited number of scribes. B．The large quantity of exams to take.
C．The request to copy answers in the exam. D．The building of a network of volunteers.
7．What’s the text mainly about?
A．An Indian woman breaking the record in taking exams.
B．The importance of setting up an organization for scribes.
