答案：BⅡ.阅读理解(2012·泉州质量检查)A common misconception (误解) about scholarships is that they are only available for the smartest students with the highest GPAs. However, this just isn't even close to true.There are scholarships out there for every type of student seeking a college education. Let's take a look at each type a bit more in depth.Academic ScholarshipsAcademic scholarships are also often referred to as meritscholarships, though a merit scholarship can mean anythingthat has some level of contest to it. These are for the studentswith the 4.0 GPAs, the years as a part of severalextracurricular (课外的) activities and the wellrounded applications.They typically have the highest payouts (巨款) and are considered very wellknown as they are often national awards.Athletic ScholarshipsFor students with strong academics and physical skills，athletic scholarships are the way to go. There is practically a scholarship for every single sport, from volleyball to football, gymnastics to cheerleading. So, if you excel in anything physical, you should definitely pursue an athletic scholarship.Scholarships for MinoritiesThere are also many scholarships for minorities available.Some of these are general and for all minorities as a collective whole, while others are intended for individual ethnic (种族的) groups. It is also a good idea to apply for a minority scholarship if you are part of fully of a certain ethnicity (种族渊源)．You will get to represent your culture and possibly win money — what more could you ask for?Scholarships for WomenAs with the scholarships for minorities above, there are also scholarships specifically for women.Since colleges were dominated (支配) by men for many years, scholarships have been created for strong, careerminded women that need assistance paying for college expenses.If you are female, it is strongly recommended you pursue a scholarship for women.Moreover, scholarships for women are typically available in just about any field.
