二、阅读理解

It is that time of the year again. Up and down the country, thousands of students

stay in the library, attempting to cram( 死记硬背) the information necessary to get

through finals. I am one of them — a Cambridge finalist, attempting to deal with

the Oxbridge stress in the only way I know: caffeine hits and reclusion(隐遁生活).

Whether you love or hate Oxbridge, the fact that these two universities provide

unique learning environments is something of a double-edged sword. On the one hand,

students have access to some of the best education in the world; on the other hand,

the pressure that comes with this can prove damaging to them and can’t be swept

under the carpet for they have to face it eventually.

Many Cambridge students find themselves trapped in a pressure of expectation,

whether this comes from their supervisors or tutors, their director of studies or

even from themselves. The drive towards achievement is either the key to success

or to possible serious personal issues, as Mark Phippen, head of the University of

Cambridge’s Counseling Service said, “There are plenty of perfectionists in

Cambridge, but it can work two ways: it can push them to accomplish and to achieve,

or it can get out of hand, disabling them.”

Many students say that they can’t handle it any more while working in certain

libraries which are filled with other students hard at work. The competition and

paranoia( 多疑 ) are more common than what we realize or question: you can feel as

if you are being judged for how much time you spend on Facebook or YouTube, or how

little time you spend reading. 3 Too many students feel almost frustrated by the pressure to achieve but feel

unable to speak about it. As everyone seems to be coping, they must also pretend

to cope too. The only thing students have: tutors and supervisors regularly encourage

students to avoid extracurricular activities, urging them to focus on their studies

to such an extent that many find it hard to handle it. One current Cambridge tutor

has been known for checking up on the activities of students involved in

extracurricular theatre by searching for them on the website, which

details who is involved in certain plays each term — just in case it affects the

student’s work output.

Problems arise when the pressure produces mental health issues. Problems have

been brought to attention in articles primarily from Oxford’s Cherwell and

Cambridge’s The Tab. The attention has made the Cambridge University Student

Union set up Students Deserve Better — a campaign to handle complaints about

supervisors and tutors lacking the ability to provide proper spiritual support.

“When I told my supervisor about my problems with anxiety and therefore about

my worries surrounding the workload she was suggesting, she said that I would

probably feel less anxious once the work was done,” a finalist student called Jane

said. “It shouldn’t be an accepted response in one of the world’s best

universities. Their responses only worsened any feelings I had concerning my final

year.”

Phippen said, “At this point the exams seem like the most important thing

in the world. However, two years down the line you’ll realize that the exams you

did at university aren’t very important at all, as what then becomes more

important is what you have done within those two years afterwards. Finalist exams

can become depressing for students studying at any university. All you must remember

is that you are not alone and you are good enough, and that a few years down the

line, your ability to recount the plots of Euripides’ nineteen plays will no longer

matter. So why worry?”

1.The underlined part “be swept under the carpet” in Paragraph 1 is closest in

meaning to “ ”.
