[单项选择]In March 300 college students turned out in Washington to protest against proposed cuts in student loan funds. Another 350,000 collegians flocked to Florida’s sun-drenched beaches during March for "spring break." Since the Florida sun-seekers were more numerous, they were more representative of today’s students than those who protested in Washington, and therefore Congress need not heed the appeals of the protesting students.
The argument above makes which of the following assumptions
A. The students who vacationed in Florida did not oppose the cutting of student loan funds by Congress.
B. The students who vacationed in Florida were not in agreement with the opinion of the majority of United States citizens about the proposed cut in loan funds.
C. The students who protested in Washington were more seriously concerned about their education than were the students who vacationed in Florida.
D. The students who neither protested in Washington in March nor vacationed in Florida in March are indifferent to governmental policies on education.
E. (E) The best way to influence congressional opinion about a political issue is to communicate with one’s elected representative in Washington.

College students are more stressed out than ever before--at least according to the latest findings of a large, national survey that has been conducted annually for the last 25 years. The survey includes more than 200,000 students attending nearly 300 colleges and asks them to rate how their own mental health stacks up with their classmates’--for example, is it "above average" or in the "highest 10%"
This somewhat unusual methodology typically results in the statistical Lake Woebegon effect in which most people tend to overestimate themselves in relation to others (it refers to the fictional Lake Woebegon, where "all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking and all the children are above average"). But the most recent results indicate that fewer and fewer freshmen feel like they are in top form in terms of coping with stress.
A quarter century ago, nearly 70% of freshmen put themselves in the top 10% of mentally stable

Most students arrive at college using" discrete, concrete and absolute categories to understand people, knowledge, and values. " These students live with a dualistic view, seeing "the world in polar terms of we-right-good vs. other-wrong-bad. " These students cannot acknowledge the existence of more than one point of view toward any issue. There is one "right" way. And because these absolutes are assumed by or imposed on the individual from external authority, they cannot be personally substantiated or authenticated by experience. These students are slaves to the generalizations of their authorities. An eye for an eye! Capital punishment is apt justice for murder. The Bible says so.
Most students break through the dualistic stage to another equally frustrating stage—multiplicity. Within this stage, students see a variety of ways to deal with any given topic or problem. H
