Today, however, as associate’s degrees have replaced high school diplomas as the indispensable ticket into the middle class, families are forced to cover the costs of tuition and more. If the information age economy demands a workforce with additional training, we need to begin cutting students and families the same deal: Anyone willing to work hard and earn the degree should be able to attend community college—for free. 语篇分析： 文章一上来通过对比方式（Today, however）说明问题：社区大学必须免费。 语言分析： 1. 比喻：如何表达必备条件 be the gateway to be the indispensable（不可缺少的）ticket into 举例： the gateway to success/fame 通往成功之路/扬名的手段 For him, football was a ticket to a better life.对他来说，足球使他过上了更好的生活.

With that basic bargain in mind, a small band of mayors and governors has begun working to spark a quiet revolution in American education.
