College students are graduating with more debt than ever, a burden affecting their lifestyles and job choices, shows a survey of 2,500 students in several states. The survey was conducted by Barbara Katz, the nation’s largest non-profit provider of student loans.
The average total debt of the students studied was $18,000 vs. $ 8,200 in a comparative survey in 1991, The Boston Globe reported Thursday (October 23, 1997).

[单项选择]New data released today from the Partnership for a Drug Free America suggest that not only are girls now drinking more than boys, they turn to drugs and alcohol for more serious reasons as well.

These aren’t the only data to note issues involving girls and drin
