阅读Passage One，回答D-16到D-20五个问题。请从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入题干空白处旳最佳选项。
 Passage One
Diana Smith thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.
“I have two kids in college, and I want to say “come home,” but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education,” says Diana.
 The Smith family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the school, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan （贷款） program. They will each graduate with a $20,000 debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.
 With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to see more families like the Smiths. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.
At the same time, tuition （学费）continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to , while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.
If we go on this way for another 25 years, we won’t have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”
Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.
D-16. According to Paragraph 1, why did the Smith family’s plan fail?
A The twins wasted too much money.
B The father was out of work.
C Their sayings ran out.
D The family fell apart.

 D-18. Financial aid administrators believe that _____.
A more families will face the same problem as the Smiths
B the government will receive more letters of complaint
C college tuition fees will double soon
D America’s unemployment will fall
 D-19. What can we learn about the middle class families from the text?
A They blamed the government for the tuition increase.
B Their income remained steady in the last decade.
C They will try their best to send kids to college.
D Their debts will be paid off within 25 years.

A provide most students with scholarships
B dismiss some financial aid administrators
C stop the companies from making student loans

 Passage Two
Falls are the number one cause of death to old people at home. Most old people can live safely at home if they make a few changes. Falls are common as people are getting older. Up to half of home accidents could be prevented by making some very simple changes. Here are a few suggestions.
Mark trouble spots with bright tapes. The first and last steps on stairs are usually high-risk accident areas. Applying bright tapes and using bright light in these areas would make these spots easier to see.
Put grab bars(扶手) in the bathroom. A large number of falls occur in the bathroom. This is unfortunate(不幸旳) because it's easy to make the area safe from accidents. Putting grab bars in the bathroom gives people something to hang on to.
Invest in a personal alarm. A personal alarm can be started if a person falls or otherwise gets in trouble. With the push of a button, the alarm automatically sends a signal, which gets someone to call and see if the person needs help.
