Anne Battle's "Do We Over-educate Our Children" reminded me that the German author Gunter Grass once said that failing his school leaving exams was a blessing （福氣） without which he would never have achieved the position he now holds． I wonder how many other great men and women owe their success to having failed in their academic careers．

I was a college student in the 1960s the time when it was believed that the future wealth of the country depended on the education of the young: money was plentiful, new universities sprang up and great myths evolved to attract young people into the academic life．

Three years later, I got a first-class degree in mathematics． For some months there had been pressure to try for a further degree-the more post-graduate students there are, the mere financial benefits exist for us． My fellow postgraduates and I knew nothing of the outside world, and happily believed that academic life for another three years would uplift us in the eyes of future employers: and so I went to London and began work for a doctor's degree．

Here, for the first time, I came across  "mature students" -people who had left school at 16 and, years later, taken A-levels at technical colleges and come to university． Having chosen their subject with great care, and being more mature, they found a joy in their courses unknown to most of us．

I have been working now for several years: life has been very different from what I had been led to expect． However, it is too late Lo change: the state of understanding will not pay to reeducate people  completely． As I think back, I regret that I did not fail my A-levels．

47．What can we infer from Gunter Grass' words?

       A． He's ashamed of failing school leaving exams．

       B． He's satisfied with his present position．

       C． He's regarded as a great man.

       D． He's achieved a lot in career.

48．When the author was at college in the 1960s, the youth             .

       A． were linked up with the society

       B． were attracted by school

      C． were hopeless about life

       D． were quite wealthy

49．What makes the author feel regretful?

       A． Post-graduate students increased fast．

       B． She had had a hard time in academic life．

       C． The reality was different from what expected．

       D． She missed being a "mature student" in academe．

50．Which agrees with the author's idea?

       A． The society couldn't provide enough jobs for the youth

       B． Universities have done a lot for the society today．

       C． The youth shouldn't be at school for so long．

    D． Many great persons failed exams at school．
