College-bound American high school students usually have some combination of parents，teachers，guidance counselors，or peers to support them in the tough process of applying to and beginning college. Unfortunately，adults who want to go to college particularly adults who have been out of school for a long time generally
have no such support system. “①Adults have a much harder time starting out in college because，unlike regular students，they have adult obligations----raising children and working full time that often conflict with the demands of school，”says Deepa Rao，a World Education expert. “Also，adults who have been out of school for a long time may not be academically prepared for college-level work. Some have little exposure to technologies like e-mail and Internet research，which are an increasing part of college communication and courses. They may be unaware of available resources，such as financial aid，tutoring centers or mentoring programs, and may be unfamiliar with terms such as ‘bursar’and ‘prerequisite’And if you don’t know where to begin or what to do once you do get there，it’s easy to get overwhelmed and simply give up.”
The challenges that working adults face when going to college inspired Deepa to develop a web page and ③The website is arranged like a college campus with
‘buildings’representing the sort of departments and classrooms housed on a college campus. Each building contains ‘classes’that describe the admissions process, where to look for grants and scholarships，and lists resources，where an out-of-practice student can review reading，writing，and math.There are also lists of advice and resources to help students with their college life. Another helpful aspect of this interactive multimedia site is its audio capacity：all texts can be read to the visitor.④This particular feature is especially helpful for people with visual problems or learning disabilities.
⑤The cycle of learning runs from cradle to grave，and World Education works to break down barriers to education for people of all ages, all over the world.

①My husband Christopher was once a financial planner. Even though he couldn’t balance our budget, his clients trusted him completely and he made them feel secure. In exchange they paid him very well. We had a nice life then. At that time, my yoga studio(瑜伽馆) was just starting to make a profit, and I had recently decorated it. At last, I was in control of my working life and poured my heart and soul into making it succeed.
②When we first met, I fell hard for Christopher right away, although I wouldn’t call it love. I’d never been with a man who was prettier than I was, but after a while I got used to this, and it didn’t bother me so much. I was recovering from a broken heart and needed something to help me move on. If it wasn’t love, it was good enough, and when he asked me to marry him I jumped at the chance, knowing that it might be my last.
Things started out so well. I was working steadily and Christopher was patiently climbing up the ladder in his department. Then, without any warning, one grey winter afternoon in year five, he just upped and left his desk at the bank, handed in his resignation, and came home and told me he wanted to start an interior design business.
He has always loved mixing and matching, and has a real eye for color, texture and shape, but the idea of turning a hobby into a business wasn’t something we had ever discussed.③I thought the stress of his job was becoming too much and perhaps he would take a few months off over the spring and summer to relax and get the idea out of system. ④I didn’t believe he could be serious. ⑤But once he had a few clients, he began to draw up plans, ordering catalogues and turning our empty workshop into a kind of makeshift studio with all of his sketches pinned to the wall. After spending a lot of time and money on all of this preparation, and really doing quite a nice job of it, he called each client in turn and apologized, saying he wouldn’t be able to design their living spaces after all.

dissatisfaction with any marriage arrangement wherein the husband and his career are the primary considerations in the marriage. By the end of the 1970s, for example, considerably less than half of the women in the United States still believed that they would put their husbands and children ahead of their own careers.
More and more American women have come to believe that they should be equal partners rather than junior partners in their marriages. This stage of marriage, although not typical of most American marriages at present, will grow most rapidly in the future. ②In an equal partnership marriage, the wife pursues a full time job or career which has equal importance to her husband's. The long-standing division of labor between husband and wife comes to an end. The husband is no longer the main provider of family income, and the wife no longer has the main responsibilities for household duties and raising children. Husband and wife share all these duties equally. Power over family decisions is also shared equally.
The rapid change in women's attitudes toward marriage in 1970s reflected rapid change in the larger society. ③The Women's Liberation Movement appeared in the late 1960s, demanding an end to all forms of sexual discrimination against females. An Equal Rights Amendment(修正案) to the U. S. Constitution was proposed which would make any form of discrimination on the basis of sex illegal, and though it has failed to be ratified, it continues to have millions of supporters.
