A lot of my coworkers have left to avoid a public-facing job

humans.

The deepening of their sounds is not blue

whales around the world have also dropped their a study

last year that analyzed more than1million individual recordings

of whale calls,scale shifts were found across species,and among

populations that don't necessarily interact with one

is to say,whatever has caused the change doesn't seem to

have a specific geographic origin.

The underwater noises caused by ocean traffic and at-sea

industries might seem a likely criminal. However,scientists have

identified lowered pitches even across populations of whales that

live in seas without major shipping routes.

One possible explanation for the change is the achievements

of global conservation their populations have

grown,then,the whales may have decreased their volume

because they are more likely to be communicating over short

distances.

Last year's study of whale calls also suggests a threatening

reason for the drop in pitch,however. Perhaps whales don't need

to be so loud because sound waves travel farther in oceans

made acidic by the absorption of carbon dioxide.

Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,meanwhile,may also

indirectly influence whale voices in other study

volume to be heard in the cracking ice—a natural sound

increased by unnatural processes,as rising temperatures worsen

Those driving forward the movement of paying college

athletes are forgetting the reason one goes to college:to get an

education.

In an era struggling for competitive balance,how would the

National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)keep from giving

schools like Kentucky and Alabama even more of a competitive

advantage than schools like Valparaiso and Florida Gulf

Coast?The issue gets complicated when taking into consideration

how the salary difference between different teams gets decided.

Even worse,imagine athletes just coming to college for the

call college athletes amateurs. Oxford's definition of

amateur is"a person who engages in a pursuit,especially a

sport,on an unpaid basis." The keyword is history of

the word"amateur"dates back to the French

word"amator”,which means ially,college athletes

should be playing their sport for the love of the game,not the

money that would be given to them.

Rules should not be made for the minority,and in this

instance only two percent of athletes play professional

expected career span of that two percent is10years,three and a

half years in the National Football League(NFL).An

astonishing80percent of retired NFL players go broke within

three years of retirement,60percent in the NBA within five

is why the NCAA and its member institutions should

apply a"stay and learn”,rule.

This rule should state that if athletes choose to come to

college,they will get paid in scholarships that last the entire

educational process and the athlete must stay in school until they

earn a degree in the area of study they money from

going professional is going to run out sometime,but the degree

will always be there.

Look at college athletics for what it is and should always be,a

high-pressure learning environment and an avenue to earn an

education.A much more fun extension of the classroom if you

all,they are called student-athletes.

can the salary difference influence college teams?

is likely to promote cooperation.

can increase their independence.

can lead to more communication.

will probably cause more imbalance.

does the author give explanations to the

word"amateur”?

give an individual comment.

confirm the origin of the word.

make the point more authoritative.

provide an example for the argument.

will college athletes benefit from the"stay and

learn,,rule?

se their earnings.

trained for scholarships.

themselves to get a degree.

ue their professional careers.

does the author mainly argue about in the text?

money or for career?

B.A college education or not?

professional or being amateur?

pay or not to pay college athletes?
