Text A There’s a Lot More to Life than a Job
Detailed Study of the Text:
1. It has often been remarked that the saddest thing about youth is that it is wasted on the young. (para.1)
It has often been said that the saddest thing about youth is that youth, i.e. opportunities, good health, etc. that are available when people are young, are wasted or not appreciated by young people.
In this sentence, “it” is form subject while the clause introduced by “that” is the real subject. Similarly:
It is said/ known/ believed/ reported/ expected, etc. + that…
It is known to us that laughter is the best medicine.
It is reported that the plane crashed somewhere off the coast.
remark: to say, e.g.
I remarked that I would go shopping that afternoon.

be wasted on sb.: not understand sth. or not realize how valuable sth. is
Music is wasted on people who can’t appreciate it.
2. If it (whatever it may be) won’t compute and you can’t drink it, smoke it or spend it, then “it” holds little value. (para.3)

4. Not surprising in these hard times, the students’ major objective “is to be financially well off”. (para.5)
It is not surprising that in these times of economic recession, the students’ main goal “is to become materially rich”.
well off: in a good condition, e
