Top 4 Colleges Whose Graduates Earn the Most Money Who says college isn't worth it？ Graduates of each of these 4 small colleges can look forward to cashing in when they hit the job market。

Amherst College： Amherst， Massachusetts
Average earnings:$82,000
Harvard may be the more selective and well-known university in the state， but it's Amherst College’s graduates who arc pulling in the salary. It’s known as one of the “Little Ivies"。

Despite Amherst's tiny size （2，000 undergraduates in total）, its alumni(校友）network is well-connected and involved with the student body, which helps explain why graduates get top job opportunities.
Lafayette College： Easton， Pennsylvania
Average earnings: $81.000
Another Little Ivy，Lafayette College graduates about the same number of students as Amherst each year。

Those graduates make nearly as much as Amherst graduates, based on Zippia’s research。

It’s entirely possible that Lafayette's
success in getting its graduates good jobs is that it’s one of the few liberal arts（文科)colleges of its size that also offer its students engineering degrees。

Helene Fuld College of Nursing: New York， NY
Average earnings：＄79，300
Nurses are in very high demand，according to Indeed, and that demand is expected to remain strong. This contributes to the high pay offered to this nursing school’s graduates. So does its location in New York City, where salaries （and the cost of living) are higher.
Bates College: Lewiston, Maine
Average earnings： $75，700
Another small liberal arts college—and Little Ivy-Bates offers， among other things, a small teacher—to-student rate. It is also noted that Bates has one of the most beautiful campuses around， helping draw a highly driven student body。

When we went hack to San Francisco in July his year，we went to the Port Authority Command Center to donate the money that our local firefighters had raised-$31，600. They took us to The town of Paradise in 2 of their police cars to present the check。

"Where are you from？” the driver of police car asked all of us. I said. ”Michigan.”He was very moved by what we were doing for them, and the families of the Port Authority police would benefit a lot from the money.
As we were presenting the check at The town of Paradise， the police officer that drove me down there said that on Nov 8, 2018 he was on duty。

Three weeks ago, Colombian officials rescued 32 birds in a surprise raid on a group organizing cockfighting events。

Officials accuse the group of setting up a songbird competition illegally， called "the clash of titans" on social media。

People won money if they correctly predicted the winner。

Songbird contests have taken place throughout the Caribbean for hundreds of years. But catching any wildlife without government permission is a crime in Colombia。

Until recently, officials did not enforce the law. They were too busy fighting violence from the drug trade, rebel fighters and other armed groups。

But now, as violence has fallen and with the drug trade mostly destroyed，officials arc taking another look.
Colombians have grown to understand the importance of their country’s biodiversity. It is said to have the second highest biodiversity levels in the world.
Officials are working to end illegal animal trade. Last year, police rescued more than 34，600 animals illegally trapped in the wild-a 44％ increase over 2017 levels。

Many of the animals were found at airports and bus stations by dogs trained to find bird feathers or skin。

Colombian government lawyers are also going after criminals that use the illegal animal trade to earn money。

Police say illegal sales of birds and animals are nearly as profitable as illegal drugs or arms trade。

Worldwide, the wildlife trade is worth more than ＄10 billion.
The rescue of the 32 birds was the result of a secret police operation. In May， police rescued 16 birds, including an endangered one, from small cages in three homes。

Information gathered in that operation enabled the police to uncover the group that held the songbird contests。

A video published on a closed Facebook group explained the competition. While onlookers cheered，judges measured the loudness and the number of calls from each bird. The owner of the winning bird received $ 100. Environmental officials say the birds were abused.

Survey。

Attack。

C. Attempt。

D. Purchase.

What was the group mentioned in paragraph 1 charged with？
A. Making their voice heard through the competition.
B。

Allowing people to catch wild birds。

C。

Holding songbird contests illegally。

D。

Selling bird feathers or skin。

10. Why have Colombian officials started to protect wild life only recently?
A. They were too weak to take measures.
B。

They have realized the value of animal trade。

C。

They were busy doing more important tasks before.
D. They have found violence has disappeared.
11。

What contributes to the illegal animal trade most？

Doctors are advising parents to feed babies peanut products before their first birthday to reduce the children’s risk of developing a peanut allergy（过敏).
A team of allergy experts and child care specialists wrote the new guidance. They suggest adding soft，crushed peanuts to a baby’s diet beginning at four months of age。

They say babies should continue to get large amounts of peanut products in their first year of life.
The new guidance is a "complete changeover” from earlier a dvice to parents。

Earlier guidelines suggested waiting to feed children peanut products until they were much older。

Gupta is a pediatrician（儿科医生)and food allergy researcher at Northwestern University in Evanston。

Illinois。

She predicted that many parents will he
fearful of following the new guidance.
Peanut allergies usually develop before age 2. They are a major worry for parents，who need to closely watch everything their children eat inside and outside the home.
Allergic reactions to peanuts can include skin conditions，difficulty breathing and low blood pressure。

The person can feel sick to the stomach， and develop swelling of the tongue, eyes or face。

In severe cases, a peanut reaction can kill， unless the child is given an injection of epinephrine（肾上腺素).
Because of such risks, doctors had been urging parents to avoid giving peanut products to babies. But a 2018 study led medical experts to reconsider the guidelines.
The study involved 640 babies, all of whom were younger than 11 months。

Each child had either an egg allergy or the skin disease。

Both disorders increase the child’s risk for developing a peanut allergy. But researchers found that when these high—risk babies were fed a small amount of peanut butter three times a week, only three percent went on to develop the allergy after five years. By comparison, 17 percent of children who avoided peanuts became allergic.
This will help the body's natural defenses against disease and learn how to process and deal with peanuts.
12。

What do we know about the new guidance？
A。

It remains to be tested. B。

It is a wrong theory.
C. It is dangerous to babies.
D. It is contrary to previous guidelines.
13。

What does paragraph 6 mainly talk about？
A。

Harm of eating peanut. B。

Treatment of peanut allergy。

C。

Symptoms of peanut allergy. D. Prevention of peanut allergy.
14。

What were the babies involved in the study like？
A. They more likely suffered from peanut allergy。

B. They were in favor of peanut.
C. They were free from any allergy. D。

They were in good health。

15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A。

Babies Eat Peanuts This Way Without Harm.
B。

Give Babies Peanut Products to Reduce Allergy Risk
C。

Give Babies Peanut Food as Much as Possible
D。

New Guidance of Peanut Eating Is Controversial
