BEIJING --Seven prestigious universities in China announced Sunday that they would begin using the
same independent exam -- besides the national one -- to test students hoping to gain entrance to them in
2011.
The seven are Peking University, Beihang University, Beijing Normal University, Nankai University,
Fudan University, Xiamen University and Hong Kong University.
Students who want to gain entrance to any of the seven universities will only have to sit one independent
exam, according to the joint announcement.
"This will help lighten tile students" load, otherwise they must take several exams for different universities," said the announcement.
Passing the exam could result in more than one interview chance, giving the students more opportunities to choose their favorite universities.
China"s college entrance exam system is undergoing reform as universities aim to select students based
on independent criteria rather than just using the results of the national exam.
In 2003, Peking University and another 21 universities were allowed to pilot (试用) the reform by
using their own criteria to independently select five percent of their students.
Now nearly 80 universities across the country have the right to select talented students based on their
own exams.
Education experts regard universities selecting students according to independent examinations as
conducive (有助的) to better understanding where the students" talents lie.
Although this may be the case, it has also created problems as students may sit many different exams
as they often apply for a number of universities.
To relieve students from such pressures, the national education outline (2010--2020) released in July
this year encourages high-level universities to group together to use the same exams.

I am truly saddened about what is going on in my school district, especially in the school where I am
currently working.
Why are so many students not doing well? Why is there such a huge achievement gap between urban
and suburban students? Just this week, in my school the seventh grade team leader called a meeting to
discuss academic detention (放学后留校). The purpose of the detention is to allow students who are
doing poorly a second chance to redo the work. Now if a student did not understand an assignment I
have no trouble allowing that student to redo a test or give some extra credit work, but if a student did
poorly because he/she opted(选择) not to do the work out of sheer laziness, that student should not be
given a second chance.
And parents should be held accountable for their children. That is another reason why there is such a
huge achievement gap. All children should be monitored at home in order to achieve great success in
school. Perhaps it might be a great idea for urban school districts to offer free classes to parents on how
to help their students at home. Of course this idea is far fetched, after all we do not want to offend the
parents. What we will do instead is to spend a fortune on teacher training because if the kids are not
doing well it must be the fault of the teacher. That kind of mindset, if allowed to continue will be a perfect
recipe for greater achievement gaps.
I started working at my current school in August and I have been in the teaching field for 25 years.
What I believe is that you can lead a horse to water but you can"t make that horse drink. You can"t
force kids to change bad habits over night, nor can we afford to lower standards just so a kid can pass
a class.
1. The seventh grade team leader in the author"s school called a meeting to ________.
A. analyse the reason for the huge achievement gap between students
B. find out who is to blame for the huge achievement gap between students
C. talk about giving students who are doing poorly a second chance to redo the work
D. discuss how to narrow the huge achievement gap between students
2. The author believes that a student can be given a second chance ________.
A. if he did poorly the first time
B. for whatever reason he did poorly the first time
C. if he failed the first time in spite of his efforts
D. if he comes from a suburban area
3. In the last paragraph, the author intends to tell us that ________.
A. a student can make improvement only when he is willing to
B. teachers are to blame if his students are doing poorly
C. the school should force those students to work harder if they"re doing poorly
D. the school should treat different students with different standards |

Beijing - The public has responded with vigorous support for an NPC deputy’s proposal to extend the
Spring Festival holiday from three days to 10.
More than 78 percent of about 27,600 respondents to a poll on www.people.com.cn <http://www.
/> voted in favor of the idea of Li Jing, who is also the mayor of Meishan city in South-west
China"s Sichuan province. Li said the lunar new year festival holiday was too short for family reunions,
especially fog the nation"s 220 million migrant workers.
With hundreds of millions of people on the move during such a short time span,the holiday puts great
stress on the public transport system and suppresses tourism, he added. He suggested the ho1iday be
extended and cover the three adjacent (毗连的) weekends, which means the public could take a total
of 16 days off and floating population could spend the Lantern Festival,which falls on the 15th day of the
lunar new year, with their families.
People would then have sufficient time to fully enjoy the traditional holiday with their families, Li said
during an interview with People"s Daily Online on Friday.
Most online voters agreed that extending the holiday will ease the burden on public transport and
strengthen family ties. "The Spring Festival is an occasion for family reunions and should be longer than
the National Day holiday," one responder said in an online post. "Every year, I wish I could spend
more time at home for the Spring Festival, but I always have to go back to work. I hope the NPC will
approve this proposal.
" Another online comment read: "Extending the Spring Festival holiday could prevent the annual
transportation crush, which has in recent years resembled an exodus (出走) of fleeing refugees (难民)"".
Most of the about 13 percent who opposed the idea citied difficulties readjusting to work after the
break. Some pointed out that office moral (士气) was generally low during the first week after the holiday. "After thesix-day holiday, many people come back to work feeling absent-minded," one respondent said. Some who opposed the extension suggested adding the Lantern Festival as an official holiday.
Another 10 percent said lawmakers should carefully study the impacts before they make any decisions
on holidays. |
| 1. Which of the following is NOT the reason why Li Jing suggested extending the Spring Festival holiday? |
A. The floating population could spend the Lantern Festival.
B. People could spend more money and this could promote consumption.
C. The lunar new year festival holiday was too short for family reunions.
D. The holiday puts great stress on the public transport system and suppresses tourism |
| 2. What was Li Jing"s plan for the lunar new year festival holiday? |
A. It could cover the two adjacent weekends.
B. The holiday would be from the first day of the lunar year.
C. He added the Lantern Festival as an independent official holiday.
D. The public could take a total of 16 days off including the Lantern Festival. |
| 3. The underlined word "crush" in the sixth paragraph probably means “______” . |
A. uncomfortable pressure caused by a great crowd of people
B. a drink made by pressing fruit and used as juice
C. a traffic accident resulting from traveling too fast
D. people"s eagerness to go home to meet their families |
| 4. Why were some netizens against extending the holiday? |
A. It was a waste of time.
B. people would not earn much money.
C. It would have a bad effect on China"s economy.
D. people wouldn"t be in a good working stag after so long a holiday. |
