These days, it should come as no surprise that improving higher-education outcomes requires limiting high ambition with sometimes harsh (严峻的) realism. Students need more options and pathways to success, and more active guidance toward the best decisions considering their individual prospects and labor-market realities.
We’ve tried to keep all doors open for all students, but we’ve created a system that provides inadequate guidance and poor options for many, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Many of them arrive at college unprepared for academic work, burdened by financial difficulties and a lack of knowledge of the world of higher education, and bound to work full-time to support their families.
The characteristics of the institutions students from disadvantaged backgrounds attend often worsen their difficulties. Community and technical colleges receive too little funding from states. They also face too low amotive to respond to labor-market forces by expanding capacity in occupational or work-force programs in fields with strong labor-market demand.
In addition, many institutions provide students with too little structure, allowing them to wander aimlessly, with little direction or knowledge of what they want to do, and with very little academic or career consulting to guide them. Thus, many end up in general studies. Choosing a path to a certificate or associate degree in a high-demand occupation increases a student’s chances of earning a qualification with high labor-market value, but most are never told of these possibilities.
Changing these outcomes will require more and better supports for students with barriers to overcome, but it will also require strengthening institutions so they have the structure and the resources needed to promote success among their students. It will require helping students make better choices about which college to attend and what to study—and about whether a purely academic path right after high school is best for them.
Evidence is accumulating that restructuring developmental education, by tailoringrequirements to what students plan to study and integrating this work with for-credit classes, can increase academic success.
More dollars for students to cover their expenses are, of course, important. But simplifying the financial-aid system, making it more flexible, and building in better motives for student performance could make it much more effective. Experiments that allow financial aid to be used for noncredit programs in high-demand fields, with carefully designed limits to protect program quality and integrity, have the potential to strengthen opportunities for students.
Early education for all students about careers and the labor market is essential to helping students reach their goals, as is developing a range of high-quality career and technical pathways
that start in high school—including apprenticeships(学徒)and other forms of work-based learning—so students with weaker academic skills can also earn qualifications and get good jobs.
Policy makers and postsecondary institutions have a responsibility to implement constructive change; opening the doors of college to all who can benefit is a good start—but it’s far from sufficient. We must meet students where they are and recognize the impact of their circumstances on their chances for success.

81. 请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
Have you ever thought life would be better anywhere other than where you are right now? Maybe some of your thoughts go something like this: Life will be better once I’m out of debt. I can’t wait until I’m retired because then I can do what I want when I want. If only I lived somewhere warm I could exercise all year round and I would be so fit. If I could just lose 10 pounds I know I would feel better.
Truth is some of your problems may go away once you have met all of your “if only” and “better when’s”, but it won’t make the perfect life that fairy tales are made of. New problems will arise and you’ll likely find yourself wishing for this “perfect” life to be different still. We can only imagine that the grass will be greener on the other side because it’s only when we live it do we actually see it for what it really is.
Whatever ideal you have in mind about an alternate lifestyle, location, financial situation etc ... rest assured that each one will be met with its own unique set of problems.
So what can you do about this? Choose to be content with what you already have.
It’s great to dream big. But those dreams should not cloud the greatness you have in front of you right now. Consider the truth in the grass being the greenest right under your feet. 【写作内容】

One possible version:
It is common for people to expect a different life, which they believe is perfect. Consequently, they fail to live their current life faithfully and cherish what they have possessed.
As a senior student, I am often faced with such problems. For instance, I want to escape from reality, which is tough and full of competition. I am desperate to leave my parents for freedom. In fact, I ignore the fact that the dissatisfaction with current situation is the root cause of unhappiness.
From what has been talked about, we may reasonably arrive at the conclusion that happiness is not about getting all we want, but about enjoying all we have. We should make every minute count to trade for something of value. Additionally, be grateful for our life with all its lessons and
blessings. Only when we cherish everything and everyone we encounter today can we live our life happily.
