A well-rounded education A good high school education should do more than prepare you for the next level of education or for later employment — it should prepare you to take advantage of future learning opportunities of all kinds. You should gain particular skills and information, as well as a broad perspective on the world and its possibilities. Choosing high school courses By taking the most academically demanding courses you can find, you can improve both your chance of admission to a selective college and your performance during the first years of college. We recommend: ● The study of English for four years: extensive reading of the classics of the world’s literature ● Four years of a single foreign language ● The study of history for at least two years, and preferably three years ● The study of mathematics for four years* ● The study of science for four years: physics, chemistry, and biology, and preferably one of these at an advanced level Various important secondary school subjects, such as art and music, are not specifically mentioned in our recommendations. Leaving out these subjects should not be interpreted as a value judgment. We are concerned only with secondary school subjects proven by data to support college coursework. *Ideally, math courses should focus on conceptual understanding, promote higher-order thinking, and encourage students to use mathematical reasoning to critically examine the world. Examples include courses in computer science, statistics and its subfields, mathematical modeling, calculus, and other advanced math subjects. 7．Which word can best describe a good high school education according to this guide? A．Expert-guided. B．Career-centered. C．All-round. D．Multi-skilled. 8．What is the goal of the recommended four-year study of mathematics? A．To develop advanced thinking.

Here is a brief selection of desert reads. Get a glimpse of awe-inspiring vistas, rugged wildlife, tales of resilience and more. The Land of Little Rain By Mary Austin, Penguin Classics: 128 pp., $17 (1903; reprinted 1997) Arguably the first lyrical essay collection about the California desert, Austin drew on her Owens Valley travels, covering mining, tribal life, weather and water. The book is thrilling in its close-attention to details. Here, she writes, “It is possible to live with great energy, to have red blood and delicate joys.” Desert Solitaire: A Season in the Wilderness By Edward Abbey, Ballantine Books: 352 pp., $10 (1968; reprinted 1985) Abbey’s bestselling memoir revealed the Southwest’s beauty and fragility, depicting awe-inspiring vistas while thundering against those who damage it. Often likened to Walden, Abbey’s darkly humorous voice gave Western literature a tone distinct from East Coast gentility and folksy cowboy writing. Mecca By Susan Straight, V: 384 pp., $19 (2022) A contemporary epic set in the Coachella Valley, Straight’s novel offers a cross-section of desert inhabitants — a motorcycle officer, a spa employee, a family rocked by a police shooting — set against the demands of desert life. It speaks to the present while exploring the region’s long history. The Deserts of California: A California Field Atlas By Obi Kaufmann, Heyday, 576 pp., $55 (2023) Kaufmann’s illustrated field guide to the state’s dry regions is wide-ranging geographically and in species covered.

The survey, completed in January 2026, set out to identify the dominant learning styles of today’s undergraduates, measure student demand for different types of multimodal (多模态) course materials, and explore the link between multimodal learning and academic performance and engagement. Learning Style Preference This shift in learning styles has directly translated into a growing demand for course materials, as students seek out content that not only conveys information but also engages them in ways that match how they best process and internalize knowledge. The following data quantifies student demand for different types of multimodal course materials accordingly. Demand for Multimodal Course Materials The survey also uncovered a clear link between the use of multimodal learning materials and key educational outcomes, including academic performance and classroom engagement. “This survey confirms that undergraduate learning has entered a new multimodal era — students no longer want to be passive consumers of text-based content. Educators and institutions that adapt to this shift by providing diverse, visual and interactive materials will see significant improvements in student success and engagement, and will better prepare students for the diverse, digital world they will enter upon graduation,” said Overdrive CEO Steve Potash. 16．What percentage do visual and kinesthetic learners account for in 2025? A．40%. B．49%. C．51%. D．73%. 17．Which multimodal course materials do undergraduate students like most? A．Audio podcasts. B．Video lectures. C．Interactive infographics.
