ACADEMICS AREN’T THE PROBLEM
Studies about how students use their time might shed light on whether they face increased

 Truy cập vào trang và nhập Mã câu hỏi để xem đáp án và lời giải chi tiết.


academic and financial pressures compared with earlier eras.
Based on data about how students are spending time, academic or financial pressures don’t seem
to be greater now than a generation ago.
The data show that full-time students in all types of colleges study much less now than they did a
generation ago - a full 10 hours a week less. Students are also receiving significantly higher grades.
So it appears that academic pressures are, in fact, considerably lower than they used to be.
The time-use data don’t suggest that students feel greater financial pressures, either. When the
time savings and lower opportunity costs are factored in, college appears less expensive for most
students than it was in the 1960s. And though there are now full-time students working to pay while
in college, they study less even when paid work choices are held constantly.
In other words, full-time students do not appear to be studying less in order to work more. They
appear to be studying less and spending the extra time on leisure activities or fun. It seems hard to
imagine that students feeling increased financial pressures would respond by taking more leisure.
Based on how students are spending their time then, it doesn’t look as though academic or

financial pressures are greater now than a generation ago. The time-use data don’t speak directly to
social pressures, and it may well be that these have become more intense lately.
In one recent set of data, students reported spending more than 23 hours per week either
socializing with friends or playing on the computer for fun. Social activities, in person or on
computer, would seem to have become the major focus of campus life. It is hard to tell what kinds
of pressures would be associated with this change.

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 following questions from 45 to 54.
P anel painting, common in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Europe, involved a painstaking,

laborious process. Wooden planks were joined, covered with gesso to prepare the surface for
painting, and then polished smooth with special tools. On this perfect surface, the artist would
sketch a composition with chalk, refine it with inks, and then begin the deliberate process of
applying thin layers of egg tempera paint (egg yolk in which pigments are suspended) with small
brushes. The successive layering of these meticulously applied paints produced the final translucent
colors.
Backgrounds or gold were made by carefully applying sheets of gold leaf, and then
embellishing of decorating the gold leaf by punching it with a metal rod on which a pattern had been
embossed. Every step in the process was slow and deliberate. The quick-drying tempera demanded

 Truy cập vào trang và nhập Mã câu hỏi để xem đáp án và lời giải chi tiết.


that the artist know exactly where each stroke be placed before the brush met the panel, and it
required the use of fine brushes. It was, therefore, an ideal technique for emphasizing the hard linear
edges and pure, fine areas of color that were so much a part of the overall aesthetic of the time.
The notion that an artist could or would dash off an idea in a fit of spontaneous inspiration was
completely alien to these deliberately produced works.
Furthermore, making these paintings was so time-consuming that it demanded assistance. All
such work was done by collective enterprise in the workshops. The painter or master who is
credited with having created the painting may have designed the work and overseen its production,
but it is highly unlikely that the artist’s hand applied every stroke of the brush. More likely, numerous
assistants, who had been trained to imitate the artist’s style, applied the paint. The carpenter’s shop
probably provided the frame and perhaps supplied the panel, and yet another shop supplied the gold.
Thus, not only many hands, but also many shops were involved in the final product. In spite of
problems with their condition, restoration, and preservation, many panel paintings have survived,
and today many of them are housed in museum collections.
