more fitting. Your area of interest is another factor to consider in the decision-making process if you want to get the most from your education. The whole point of college is to team what is of interest to you.

Crucially, one must first take into consideration the colleges by which you can realistically be accepted. An Ivy League school for an average student would probably not be a good match. Similarly, an average school for an above-average student would not work well. The college should provide enough of a challenge for the student to work hard. Although there may not be the perfect college out there, there probably, will be one that is close. Those who cannot find a suitable college are probably not looking hard enough.

24.When it comes to going to college the author things . A. students will become homesick

B. students are unwilling to leave their home C. economic situation influence their decision D.students are able to attend their ideal university

25. what does the underlined part a \A.A very sociable person. B.A very particular person. C.A person of great capacity. D. A person of great importance. 26. Which is the most important factor when choosing a college ? A.The location of a college. B.The coming challenges. C.School size. D.The examination result.

C

It used to be a matter of fact when Peter Pan — a character from James Matthew Barre’s 1911 book — said: “All children, except one, grow up.”

But this “fact” doesn't seem to apply to today’s world anymore.

According to the NPD Group, a US market research company, sales of toys to adults in the UK increased by more than 20 percent in 2016，three times the pace of the children’s toy market itself. These toys ranged from puzzles and Lego building sets to vehicle models and action figures. And more than half of the sales came from millennials - people born between the 1980s and 2000s.

“Adults of the 21st century are paying attention to their .inner child, one toy at a time,” commented website Koreaboo. This is also why these adults are sometimes referred to as “kidults”.

According to Frederique Tutt, an analyst at NPD, the motivation of these grown-ups is to escape the stress of today's fast-paced world, They are driven toward the more immediate pleasures brought by toys than those brought by, say, getting a promotion, which is far less easy to achieve.

“It reminds me of the playful side of life,” Rob Willner, a 25-year-old PhD student in the UK, told The Telegraph when talking about his love for Lego, which he said brings him both comfort and entertainment.

Despite this, some social scientists see the trend as disturbing. To Frank Furendi, a professor at the University of Kent in the UK, the fact that so many adults are pursuing“the thrills of youth is the evidence that “adulthood has got nothing attractive about it anymore\he told The New York Times. “That’s actually quite sad.”

But scientists are probably just worrying too much. According to Canadian comic book artist Todd McFarlane, collecting toys could simply be a way for people to express their individuality. “It’s just pop culture stuff. It，s stuff that says, ‘I like a little of this and I like a little of that’,”he told ABC News. “It’s no big deal.” .

So now that over 100 years have passed since Peter Pan, perhaps it’s time to introduce a new “fact”，as stated in the tagline (标语）of the UK fashion brand KIDULT: “Growing old is mandatory (被迫的),but growing up is optional.” 27. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 imply? A.Something old is not suitable for a new world. B.Many adults still have some childlike features. C.AH children grow up as they become adults.

D.It’s difficult for some children to grow up in today’s world. 28.. Which of the following statements k tree?

A.Frederique Tutt believes that some adults enjoy playing with children's toys
