in Hong Kong; when the very best students of Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Beijing
or Qinghua University; when the highest enrollment (录取) rate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University
reached 48:1, it"s the high time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is.
Years ago, the answer certainly would be"Beijing or Qinghua University". But now no one could give the
exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual
attraction to a great many mainland students.
It"s no doubt to call this HK craze (狂热), which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities them
selves.
How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Beijing and Qinghua and attract so many mainland
students?
First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount scholarship, especially for the top students who can receive
the sum scholarship as much as 400,000 HK dollars. Since higher education has become a kind of heavy burden
of many families, it"s easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering of HK universities is great.
Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual
(双语) education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland students.
Furthermore, university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as exchange students.
Can mainland top universities like Beijing or Qinghua University be calm as before when facing the
unexpected competition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help
them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it.
The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of
education in China. After the awakening and action-taking of mainland universities, they can perform better
together with HK universities.
At least, it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees (学费) are among students" top concern when
they are choosing universities. It"s time to move.
B. Higher education in Hong Kong.
C. The competition between HK University and Beijing University.
D. The fall of mainland universities.
B. they concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universities
C. HK Universities offer higher scholarship, better environment and more opportunities for their further study
D. Beijing University has lost its worldwide reputation
B. Mainland universities had better lower their tuition fees and win back the top students.
C. Universities both in mainland and in HK would get an entire improvement during the competition.
D. It may probably cause a complete loss to both sides in the end.
B. didn"t expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popular
C. have strict enrollment rules and only 1out of 48 students can get the chance to study there
D. are proud of their teaching staff and facilities

German, Arabic and Italian, and she soon hopes to learn some Mandarin Chinese.
In today"s globalized world, Azure is one of many young American children whose parents insist her 2
include foreign languages.
"It"s such a 3 environment now, you never know what you might need," says Azure"s mother, Julie
Warrenfeltz, who started schooling her daughter in foreign languages when she was 6 weeks old. "She
couldn"t 4 a violin, she couldn"t stand upright, but I wanted her to do 5 ."
Not only is learning a foreign language easier for children than it is for 6 , but children who are exposed
to other languages also do better in school. They are more 7 to diversity, says Fran?ois Thibaut, who runs
The Language Workshop for Children, which has nine schools around the East Coast.
Language study for children is based on immersion (沉浸), he says. Kids sing songs and play games to
help develop language comprehension skills. When children start learning languages at birth, they have the 8
to learn many languages at once without getting 9 -because, as the brain develops, so too does the ability to
separate one 10 from another.

| In communities north of Denver, residents are pitching in to help teachers and administrators as the Vrain school District tries to solve a $13.8 million budget shortage blamed on mismanagement. "We"re worried about our teachers and principals, and we really don"t want to lose them because of this," one parent said. "If we can help ease their financial burden, we will." Teachers are grateful, but I know it may be years before the district is solvent (有综合能力的). They feel really good about the parent support, but they realize it"s impossible for them to solve this problem. The 22,000-student district discovered the shortage last month."It"s extraordinary. Nobody would have imagined something happening like this at this level," said State Treasurer Mike Coffman. Coffman and district officials last week agreed on a state emergency plan freeing up a $9.8 million loan that enabled the payroll (工资单) to be met for 2,700 teachers and staff in time for the holidays. District officials also took $1.7 million from student-activity accounts of its 38 schools. At Coffman"s request, the District Attorney has begun investigating the district"s finances. Coffman says he wants to know whether district officials hid the budget shortage until after the November election, when voters approved a $212 million bond issue for schools. In Frederick, students" parents are buying classroom supplies and offering to pay for groceries and utilities to keep first-year teachers and principals in their jobs. Some $36,000 has been raised in donations from Safeway. A Chevrolet dealership donated $10,000 and forgave the district"s $10,750 bill for renting the driver educating cars. IBM contributed 4,500 packs of paper. "We employ thousands of people in this community," said Mitch Carson, a hospital chief executive, who helped raise funds. "We have children in the school, and we see how they could be affected." At Creek High School, three students started a website that displays newspaper articles, district information and an email forum. "Rumors about what"s happening to the district are moving at lighting speed," said a student. "We wanted to know the truth, and spread that around instead." | |||

| One of the worst feelings in the world is trying your hardest at something but still falling short. In the case of schoolwork, studying for hours and bringing home disappointing grades may make you feel hopeless or helpless, but this is far from the truth. If you are dealing with disappointing grades, promise to change your study habits and you"ll be amazed by the results. Act Fast The most important rule about dealing with disappointing grades is to act fast. Don"t sit around and let them get worse, and definitely don"t ignore them. Instead, admit that you need help and go in search of it soon. The faster you face up to the problem, the faster you can find a solution and see some results. Tweak your routine If you are studying hard and still dealing with disappointing grades, it"s probably time to tweak your routine a little. Remember, if you keep doing the same thing all the time you"ll undoubtedly keep getting the same results. Mix things up by asking for help, whether from a friend or fellow student, your teacher or a private tutor. Ask for help with the subject matter and tips for studying on your own. Study Successfully Of course it doesn"t matter where you study or who you study with if you are studying the wrong things. Make sure that you are studying successfully by: *Reviewing your textbooks. *Looking over your notes from class. *Taking new notes while you study. *Investing in study guides. *Answering all of the review questions you can find. *Talking through events or concepts that are integral (整体) to your lessons. Learn From Your Mistakes If, after all of your changes and redoubling your study efforts, you are still disappointed with your grades, then it is time to figure out exactly where you are going wrong. Look over exam papers and assignments to see if you are having trouble with a particular kind of question (multiple choice, true or false, etc.) or concept. Examine your essays to see if you are explaining your ideas clearly and completely, or if it is the mechanics of your writing (spelling, grammar, etc.) that is letting you down. Request an appointment with your teacher and use this time to discuss your work and get his/her feedback as well. Dealing with disappointing grades is something that every student will face at one time or another. It won"t be fun, but take a realistic look at your attention in class, your study habits and your performance on past assignments and exam. Figure out where you are having trouble and dedicate yourself to fixing these problems. | |||

| Children pushed in buggies which face away from their parents may suffer long-term emotional and language problems, according to a study published on Friday. The research, believed to be the first of its kind, found that children who were not facing the person pushing them were less likely to talk, laugh and interact with their parents. The findings were based on a study of 2,722 parents and babies and an experiment where 20 babies were wheeled in buggies for a mile, facing their parents for half the journey and facing away for the other half. Parents using face-to-face buggies were twice as likely to talk to their children while the babies" heart rates fell and they were twice as likely to fall asleep, an indication that they were feeling relaxed and safe. In addition, only one baby out of the 20 studied laughed while sitting in an away-facing buggy. "Our data suggests that for many babies today, life in a buggy is emotionally impoverished and possibly stressful. Stressed babies grow into anxious adults," said Dr Suzanne Zeedyk, Developmental Psychologist at Scotland"s Dundee University who carried out the research. The study, which was published by National Literacy Trust as part of its "Talk To Your Baby" campaign, found that 62 percent of all children observed travelled in away-facing buggies. Zeedyk said it would impact negatively on babies" development if they spent a long time in away-facing buggies, which would undermine their ability to communicate with their parent at a time when their brain was developing rapidly. Laura Barbour of the Sutton Trust, a social mobility charity which funded the research, said buggy manufacturers should look closely at the findings. | |||

| [ ] | |||

| 2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. Parents may talk twice with the babies in away-facing buggies. B. The study suggests children feel relaxed and safe in buggies. C. The samples of the study were 20 babies wheeled in buggies. D. One of the 20 babies was twice as likely to fall asleep in buggies. | |||
| 3. The underlined word "impoverished" in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to "_____". | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. poor B. nervous C. rich D. energetic | |||
| 4. National Literacy Trust _____. | |||
