University
students
come
from
different
parts
of
the
country
with
various
purposes.
However,
a
closer
look
at
their
reasons
for
studying
at
the
university
will
enable
us
to
(1)
classify
them
roughly
into
three
groups:
those
who
have
a(n)
(2)
passion
for
learning,
those
who
wish
to
(3)
attain
a
bright
future,
and
those
who
learn
with
no
definite
purpose. Firstly,
there
are
many
students
who
learn
simply
because
they
(4)
pursue
their
goal
of
learning.
Some
read
a wealth of British and American novels because they are keenly interested in literature.
Others sit in front of the computer screen, working on a new program, (5)
virtually
day and
night, because they find some computer
programs
(6)
fascinating
, and they
dream of becoming
a
"Bill
Gates"
one
day. Secondly,
there
are
students
who
work
hard
mainly
for
a
better
and
more
(7)
prosperous
future.
It
seems
that
the
majority
of
students
fall
into
this
group.
After
admission to the university, they read books after books to (8)
acquire
knowledge from all
of the resources which are (9)
available
to them, and finally, to succeed in the future job
market. Thirdly, there are still some students who learn without a clear goal. They take
courses, finish homework, enjoy life on campus, but don't want to (10)
