IV. Reading Comprehension: Choose the best answer to eachquestion. Questions 41~43     It is no secret that today’s cost of education is heading steadfastly toward theborder of luxury. This situation seems to be pervasive in all areas of education. Beit a public institution or a private institution, the price tag has been consistentlyheading north yearly. Take for example the average cost of tuition, room, andboard for U.S. private colleges. It topped $25,000 per year in 2002, more than theprice of a new Honda Accord or a Toyota Camry. Add a few thousand dollars, andyou are well in the market for a Lexus. No wonder parents of college-bound seniorsare scared. How many families, do you think, can afford four Accords in four years?      Fortunately, the above analogy reflects only a clear-cut situation; in reality, thesystem does provide some mending to its own problems. The fact is, similar to carbuying, most students don’t pay the full sticker price for college. According to theU.S. College Board, more than three quarters of students at four-year privateschools receive some form of financial assistance and three out of five students atpublic institutions receive financial aid. But financial aid doesn’t fall out of the sky.You must learn where to find it and how to apply. The problem is that not everyoneis eligible. And if you are ineligible, what are you going to do? Are there anyalternatives? The answer is yes. As the old saying goes, “Where there is a will,there is a way.” You can figure it out by yourself.
