一、大学校园有很多强化训练班的广告(advertisements，intensivetraining，attracttheeyeballs)

二、支持者支持的原因

反对者反对的原因学习需要积累，参加培训班只是浪费钱财(lastinglearning，money-consuming)

三、作者观点学习需要积累，培训班不是捷径只是增补(accumulatedlearning，complement)

(1)attracttheeyeballs“抓人眼球，吸引人注意”。

(2)followthetrends“随大流”。

(3)fallbehind“落后”。

(4)yield“产生收益”，此处yieldlittle意为“产生很少的成果”。

(5)money-consuming“费钱的”。注意这种组词结构的使用。
