Country music star Kenny Rogers, known for classics like "The Gambler" and "Islands in the Stream",died Friday night.He was 81.He died of natural causes at home in Sandy Springs, Georgia. During his six-decade career,the popular singer sold more than 100 million albums worldwide,won three Grammy Awards and was given a place in the Country Music Hall of Fame.(76)He also published several photography books,donated time and money to noble causes,appeared in a number of made-for-television movies and launched a restaurant chain. Kenneth Donald Rogers was born in Houston on Aug.21,1938.The fourth of Edward and Lucille's eight children,Rogers grew up in a government housing project. He was the first person in his family to receive a high school diploma. “As early as elementary school,I began to see music and singing as a relief from all the awkwardness and embarrassment of growing up poor, shy and often an outsider,"Rogers wrote in his 2012 book,Luck or Something Like it:A Memoir. He entered his first talent contest when he was 10.His version of“Lovesick Blues”won him the grand prize: a half-gallon of ice cream and a meeting with a country music star. In high school,he formed a vocal group called the Scholars.They recorded a few forgettable songs, then went their separate ways. As a solo artist, Kenneth Rogers recorded a song called “That Crazy Feeling",which was released to the public. In 1959, jazz pianist Bobby Doyle heard Rogers play at a club and asked him to join the Bobby Doyle Three as a bassist（贝斯手）and harmony singer. Rogers wasn't a bass player but signed on anyway. The group disbanded （解散）in the mid-1960s.By then，Rogers had"learned how to be a musician from Bobby Doyle,”as he wrote half a century later.

When Ella's owners escaped from their home, they weren't able to take the dog with them. But as wildfires raced through,Ella stood watch at the only house that was still standing in the neighborhood. (77)Ella stayed in the ruins for almost two days. The family wasn't sure if Ella would survive the flames.But a family friend told Ella's owners,Mike and Leahna Copsey,that he'd seen her standing guard outside their neighbor's house. The Copseys' neighborhood was almost completely destroyed by the Camp Fire,the deadly California wildfire that started on Nov.8，2018.The death toll（死亡人数）was 71，and more than 1,000 missing persons had been reported. As for Ella,the dog is now living with Kayla Westman, the Copseys' eldest daughter. Westman has created a GoFundMe page where visitors can make donations to help her pay for Ella's medical bills. So far, she's raised $175 of a $650 goal to help Ella,who suffered burns in the fire. “Like many other animals that have been affected by the Camp Fire,Ella is one of them. After going through the fire we are very lucky to have her back with us,"Westman wrote on the GoFundMe page."And while her bills have already been discounted（打折）for fire victims，it's still adding up quickly. Already spending $250,any little bit helps for the future visits we will be making.” The family also said that a local animal protection society has provided food,toys and a bed for Ella.(78)Still,even though Ella is safe,the family is without a home.A separate GoFundMe page for the Copseys says that the family has“lost everything in this fire.”

Last week,Seth Priebatsch,the CEO and founder of SCVNGR, wrote a post encouraging young people with entrepreneurial aspirations（创业愿望）to drop out of college.（79）He may be right,but that makes me sad. I’ve been worrying about Priebatsch’s “drop-out” advice because for the most part,I think it's terrible counsel. As a parent who pays two college tuitions,I'm a strong believer in the importance of higher education not just because I think degrees will help my kids get good jobs, but because the college experience is making them better, smarter, and more interesting people. (80)They have the rest of their lives to start companies if they choose to do that,but when else will they be free to study art history, read great books, learn to write well, or become fluent in another language? And from a more practical perspective,they've creating relationships with classmates and professors that will benefit them personally and professionally for a lifetime. Entrepreneurship（创业）as a career path is now widely popular and it's my view that this generation will emerge as the most entrepreneurial generation in history. But colleges and universities are way behind the curve on this trend. Sure, there are now over 400 distinguished professors in graduate and undergraduate entrepreneurship programs with more than 200,000 students, according to the Kauffman Foundation. But if you're well on your way to starting a company as a freshman,a class or two in entrepreneurship is not going to keep you happy and it's probably not going to help you grow your company. Here's my solution:colleges and universities need to come up with a whole new curriculum （课程设置）for young entrepreneurs so that they can continue to learn the skills they need to succeed in business but still enjoy the resources that higher learning offers.

11. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?　　

ADropping out of college is key to business success.　　

BMany successful people dropped out to accelerate their success.　　

CEntrepreneurship is a popular career path now.　　

DDropping out of college is not a wise decision for young people.

Agoal

13. What solution does the author offer in the last paragraph?　　

A College should design a whole new curriculum for young entrepreneurs.　　

BCollege should create opportunities for students to work with local entrepreneurs.　　

C The government should provide loans for young entrepreneurs.　　

DThe government should make favorable policies to help young entrepreneurs.

14. The author's position on dropping out of college is（）　　

Asupportive

Bneutral　　

Cnegative

Dpositive

15. According to the passage,which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?　　

A College provides young adults with both the intellectual capital and the social capital.　　

B The author thinks Priebatsch's 'drop-out'advice is acceptable.　　

CEntrepreneurship courses that universities offer are far from enough.　　

D The author thinks college education is very important.
