XII. Read the following passage carefully. Decide whether the statements are TRUE or FALSE, and then
answer the questions below.


Colleges and universities, institutions of higher education that offer programs beyond the high school level.
Colleges and universities provide necessary training for individuals wishing to enter professional careers. They also
strive to develop students' creativity, insight, and analytical skills. By acquainting students with complex ideas in
an intellectually stimulating environment, colleges and universities can provide unique opportunities for personal
enrichment while also preparing students for future careers.
Such diverse professions as engineering, teaching, law, medicine, and information science all require a college
education. Most require training in graduate or professional school as well. Increasingly, even less specialized jobs
require some postsecondary education. The development of new technologies and the globalization of the world
economy have created high demand for workers with computer, communications, and other occupational skills that
can be acquired at colleges or universities. In addition, employers increasingly seek out college graduates who have
gained the critical thinking and problem-solving skills necessary to adapt to changing economic conditions.
Students who live away from home during their college or university years typically experience a major turning
point in their lives that has little to do with academic or professional training. For example, college offers many
recent high scnool graduates their first opportunity to live on their own. Most first-year students welcome this
increased independence, although many also find that living away from home, family, and friends can introduce
unexpected challenges. Campus residence halls provide common settings for students to form new bonds with
peers who share similar experiences. Other students form social networks by joining student organizations or by
participating in extracurricular activities.
A. True or False?
1. Colleges and universities provide students with enough knowledge for their future careers.
2. In business, employers seek for students with the highest record of study while the critical thinking and problemsolving skills can be gained during their work.
3. Most careers in the modern society require college education.

extracurricular activities.

1. What do colleges and universities provide students?
