These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell--to better locate lost individuals—and are often able to access hard-to-reach areas.

Passage Four
Equal pay for equal work is a phrase used by the American women who feel that are looked down upon by society. They say it is for women to be paid less than men for the same work. People who hold the opposite opinion （mainly men） have an answer to this. They say that men have more responsibility than women；a married man is expected to earn money to support his family and to make the important decision，and therefore it is right for men to be paid more. There are some people who hold even stronger opinion than this and are against married women working at all. When wives go out to work，they say，the home and children are given no attention to. If women are encouraged by equal pay to take full time job， they will be unable to do the things. Women are best at making a comfortable home and bringing up children. They will have to give up their present position in society.
This is exactly what they want to give up, the women who disagree say. They want to escape from the limited place which society expects them to fill and to have freedom to choose between a job and home life， or mixture of the two. Women have the right of equal pay and equal opportunities.
These women have expressed their opinions forcefully busing the famous saying， “All men are created equal.” They point out that the meaning of this sentence is “all human being are created equal.”

Passage Five
About 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning. The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university. These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor Science (B.S.) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-year program) for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore (二年级生) or junior (三年级生). It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school.

earning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies.
Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time. Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands on their time.
