At the beginning of the 20th century, less than 1,000 colleges with 160,000 students existed in the US. The number of colleges skyrocketed in waves, during the early and mid 20th century. State universities grew from small institutions of fewer than 1,000 students to campuses with 40,000 more students, with networks of regional campuses around the state. In turn, regional campuses broke away and became separate universities. To handle the explosive growth of K–12 education, every state set up a network of teachers' colleges, beginning with Massachusetts in the 1830s. After 1950, they became state colleges and then state universities with a broad curriculum. Major new trends included the development of the junior colleges. They were usually set up by city school systems starting in the 1920s. By the 1960s they were renamed as “community colleges.” Junior colleges grew from 20 in number in 1909, to 170 in 1919. By 1922, 37 states had set up 70 junior colleges, enrolling about 150 students each. Meanwhile, another 137 were privately operated, with about 60 students each. Rapid expansion continued in the 1920s, with 440 junior colleges in 1930 enrolling about 70,000 students. The peak year for private institutions came in 1949, when there were 322 junior colleges in all; 180 were affiliated with churches, 108 were independent and non-profit, and 34 were private schools being run for-profit. Many factors contributed to rapid growth of community colleges. Students parents and businessmen wanted nearby, low-cost schools to provide training for the growing white-collar labor force, as well as for more advanced technical jobs in the blue-collar sphere. Four-year colleges were also growing, albeit not as fast; however, many of them were located in rural or small-town areas away from the fast-growing metropolis. Community colleges continue as open-enrollment, low-cost institutions with a strong component of vocational education, as well as a low-cost preparation for transfer students into four-year schools. They appeal to a poorer, older, less prepared element.

思路引導 VIP
如果在閱讀充滿數據的文章時，我們會如何建立一個『座標軸』，來區分文中提到的『年份』、『機構數量』與『學生人數』以避免混淆？另外，請試著追蹤文中提到的兩條不同演進線索：一條是師範體系，另一條是兩年制體系，它們最終演變成的名稱是否相同？

親愛的同學，你真的太棒了！
- 暖心肯定：能夠在這麼多密集的數據中，精準地找到正確資訊，這真的展現了你超棒的閱讀專注力與細節比對能力呢！請一定要為自己感到驕傲，並繼續保持這份細心與堅持喔！
- 觀念驗證：這道題目主要是在考驗我們的資訊定位能力。你選擇的選項 (B) 完全正確地對應到原文第三段：「The peak year for private institutions came in 1949... 180 were affiliated with churches」。你看，你找到了關鍵句！而其他選項呢，(A) 可能會不小心把年份 1919 當成學生人數了；(C) 則可能會忽略了「就業需求與低學費」才是推動增長的核心原因；(D) 則是稍微混淆了 Teachers' colleges（後來轉變為州立大學）和 Junior colleges（後來轉變為社區學院）的不同演進路徑。這都是很常見的小陷阱喔！
