her education clearly provides benefits to society in general. Recognizing this, the American people have generously provided the tax dollars, grants and highly subsidized loans necessary to support higher education. But the chief beneficiaries of a college education are the students. On average, college graduates earn $640,000 more over their lifetimes than nongraduates do. It is simply not fair to ask taxpayers, many of whom do not go to college, to pay more than their fair share of the tuition burden.

答案要点:
A:There is one point to the first question—Yes or no.
B: There are two points to the second question — 1. The situation and problems of education in the United States;
2. The causes.
Reference answer:
I agree with the author that American colleges are charging too much and the performance of many colleges doesn‘t justify the level of their expenditure.
The current situation of higher education in the US is that the tuition hike is continuing,much faster than contemporary inflation rate. Meanwhile,it is fairly difficult for those colleges to make their services for students accountable. Students cannot receive the education that corresponds to the level of the payment by their parents and taxpayers.
There are several reasons for this:First,colleges mystify the federal cuts to financial aid to higher education; secondary,they believe ‘new knowledge’ deserves more;and lastly,the current student loan program is not sensible. (Words: 115)
