Some College Stude nts Are Angry That They
Have to Pay to Do Their Homework
A) Digital learni ng systems now charge stude nts
for access codes needed to complete
coursework, take quizzes, and turn in
homework. As uni versities

students are complaining of a new hit to their

B) The codeLwhich typically range in price from
$$ 80 to $$ 155 per course — give stude nts
online access to systems developed by
education companies like McGraw Hill and
Pears on. These compa ni es, which long
reaped big profits as textbook publishers, have
boasted that their new on li ne offeri ngs, whe n

C) But critics say the digital access codes
represent the same profit-seeking ethos (观

E) Sarina Harpet, a 19-year-old student at
Virginia Tech, was faced with a tough dilemma
when she first started college in 2015— pay
rent or pay to turn in her
chemistry homework. She told BuzzFeed News
that her freshman chemistry class required her
to use Connect, a system provided by McGraw
Hill where students can submit homework, take
exams and track
their grades. But the code to access the
program cost $$ 120—a big sum for Harper,
who had already put down $$ 450 for
textbooks, and had rent day approachi ng.
F) She decided to wait for her n ext work- study
paycheck, which was typically $$ 150- $$ 200, to
pay for the code. She knew that her chemistry
grade may take a dive as a result.

Los ing your ability to think and remember is
pretty scary. We know the risk of dementia (痴呆
症)in creases with age. But if you have memory
slips, you probably needn't worry. There are pretty
clear differences between sig ns of deme ntia and
age-related memory loss.
After age 50, it's quite comm on to have
trouble remembering the names of people, places
and things quickly, says Dr. Kirk Daffner of Brigham
and Wome n's Hospital in Bost on.
The brain ages just like the rest of the body.
Certain parts shrink, especially areas in the brain
that are important to learning, memory and pla
nning. Chan ges in brain cells can affect comm uni
cati on betwee n differe nt regi ons of the brain. And
blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels n
arrow.
Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite
movie, for example, is nothing to worry about. But if
23



you forget the plot of the movie or don't remember
even seeing it, that's far more concerning, Daffner
says.
Whe n you forget en tire experie nces, he
says, that's
may be involved.
familiar object like a microwave oven, or forgetting
how to drive to the house of a friend you've visited
many times before can also be sig ns of someth ing
going wrong.
But eve n the n, Daffner says, people should
n't panic. There are many thi ngs that can cause
confusion and memory loss, including health
problems like temporary stoppage of breathing
during sleep, high blood pressure, or depression, as
well as medications (药物)like
an tidepressa nts.
You don't have to figure this out on your own.
24



Daffner suggests going to your doctor to check on
medications, health problems and other issues that
could be affect ing memory. And the best defense
against memory loss is to try to prevent it by
building up your brain's cognitive (认知的

reserve, Daffner says.
