The German battleship Bismarck, the most powerful warship i
28、n the world, was moving out into the Atlantic Ocean. Her task: to destroy the ships carrying supplies from the United States to war-torn England. The British had feared such a task. No warship they had could match the Bismarck in speed or in firepower. The Bismarck had eight 15-inch guns and 81 smal
29、ler guns. She could move at 30 nautical miles (海里) an hour. She was believed to be unsinkable. However, the British had to sink her. They sent out a task force headed by their best battleship Hood to hunt down the Bismarck. On May 24, the Hood found the Bismarck. It was a meeting that the German com

37、ey released by the Pew Research Center, only 40 percent of Americans felt that colleges provided a good value for the cost. At the same time, 86 percent of college graduates still felt it was good for them. There are a number of reasons for such dissatisfaction with college. First, there are plenty
38、of problems with higher education poor quality and out-of-control costs are two of the biggest. Second, it is true that college is not for everyone. Plenty of rewarding and important careers do not require college. And due to the slow economy, there may in fact be more graduates than the current job
39、 market needs. Besides, anti-college feelings are nothing new. Today, Microsofts Bill Gates or Apples Steve Jobs both college dropouts is often held up as evidence of why all that time sitting in class is better spent elsewhere.However, getting a college education is still a good idea. College gradu
40、ates earn more, and are more likely to have a job in the first place. According to the statistics last year, the average weekly earnings for someone with some college education but no degrees were $712, compared to $1,038 for a college graduate. That is almost $17,000 over the course of a year and t
41、here is an even bigger divide for those with less education. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate was 9.2 percent for those with only some college education and more than 10 percent for those with just a middle school degree, but it was 5.4 percent for college graduates. The economic gaps between colleg
42、e completers and those with less education are getting larger.Although most Americans surveyed by Pew feel doubtful about the value of a college degree, an overwhelming majority of parents Pew surveyed still expect their children to go to college. “It can be inferred that the increased doubt has not
43、 significantly influenced decision making.” Pews Taylor says, “Despite the concern about rising costs and other problems, college remains a universal desire in this country.”46.
