62、cobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans.

63、n found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%.

64、resident of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt.

69、多像Jacobs一家的情况，同义转换即选项A。而B、D原文没有提到，C 从第五段“Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade”，可知在过去10年里已经长了一倍还多，因此是错的。70What can we learn about the middle class families from the text? A.
