When Harvard was founded in 1636, there were no other colleges in the American colonies, and it would become the model for many of those that followed. When it began requiring applicants to take a test known as the SAT in 1935, Harvard started another trend. Two years ago, after it announced an aggressive new financial-aid policy, it helped push social class to the center of the national debate over higher education and forced two of its main competitors, Stanford and Yale, to follow its lead.

Last week. Harvard began to make another effort to affect higher education in its image, its president, Derek Bok, announced that the college would abandon its early admissions program, which for decades has allowed high school seniors to apply in October and get an answer yes, no or maybe – in December, shortly before the regular deadline for applications.

Harvard officials argue that the program is beneficial to rich students who don't need to compare financial-aid offers from various colleges. After the announcement, many people within education urged other colleges to take a similar step.

"We're thrilled," said Laurie Kobick, a college counselor (顾问) at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Alexandria, Va. "I think it's going to make admissions better in so many different ways. It will indeed go a small way toward leveling the field among applicants. Of course, it will also have an effect on colleges, and the biggest winner will almost certainly be Harvard. a fact that may prevent many other colleges – perhaps all of them – from       following Hazard this time. Because any college that does so will risk losing some of its best applicants."

1.From the first paragraph we can learn that Harvard ____.

A. was the first college in the American colonies

B. was best known for the SAT

C. was muck better than Stanford and Yale

D. refused to offer financial-aid to applicants

2.By abandoning early admissions program, Harvard wants ____.

A. to attract the public's attention

B. to influence higher education in its own way

C. to save money spent in attracting students

D. to allow its competitors to admit more students

3.Early admissions program is good for rich students because ____.

A. they have more chances to enter college

B. they can enter college with a lower score

C. they have special right to be admitted into college

D. they have no problem in supporting their studies

4.Why does Laurie Kobick think other colleges may not follow Harvard?

A. Because they think the action will harm high education.

B. Because they are afraid that the action is not practical.

C. Because they may attract fewer top students than he[ore,

D. Because they are afraid the action will damage their reputation.

We live in College Station, Texas and we were on our way home from Houston, Texas around the Weston Lakes area one Saturday or Sunday morning. And when I say morning, I'm talking 1:00 to 2:00 in the morning. We were on our way home and decided to stop at a local gas station to get coffee and something to snack on since it was a good hour and a half before we got home.

When we were done, we got back into our car and before I started it, we noticed a man standing outside in front of the building. You could tell that he was a homeless man. His clothes were worn and it looked like he had gone in and gotten him some coffee or something warm to drink since it was cold this time of the year. He couldn’t have had enough money to get something to eat. That is not something I remember too well, because that is not what "moved" me.

The next thing I remember is a dog that walked up to the front of the building. Being a dog lover, I noticed that she was part wolf and probably part German shepherd. I could tell she was a she, because you could tell that she had been feeding puppies. She was terribly in need of something to eat and I felt so bad for her. I knew if she didn't eat soon, she and her puppies would not make it.

I and my wife sat there and looked at her. We noticed that people walked by and didn't even pet her, like most people do when they walk by an animal in front of a store. She might not have been as pretty and clean as most, but she still deserved better. But we still did not do anything. But someone did. The homeless man, who I thought did not buy himself anything to eat, went back into the store. And what he did brought tears to me and my wife. He had gone into the store and with what money he may have had, bought a can of dog food and fed that dog.

I know that this story isn't as inspirational as most stories, but it plays a great part in our lives. You see, that was Mother's Day weekend. And a lot of people forget that some animals are parents too.

1.From the passage we can know that _______.

A. the author didn't like dogs

B. the dog was not pretty enough to be loved

C. the dog and her puppies were in danger of dying of hunger

D. the author wanted to help the dog but he was unable to

2.What moved the author and his wife to tears?

A. That the man bought food for the dog.

B. That the dog and her puppies could make it in cold weather.

C. That the man got himself some coffee or something warm to drink

D. That people walked by and didn't even notice the dog.

3.According to the passage, we know that the homeless man was _______.

A. poor and hopeless                                              B. brave and caring

C. friendly and clever                                              D. sympathetic and helpful

4.The best title for this passage would be _______.

A. An inspirational story                                         B. Animals Are Parents Too

C.  A Homeless Man                                                 D. A Mother Dog and Her Puppies

Blameless

I was a freshman in college when I met the Whites. They were completely different from my own family, yet I felt at home with them immediately. Jane White and I became friends at school, and her family welcomed me like a long-lost cousin.

In my family, it was always important to place blame when anything bad happened.

“Who did this? ”my mother would scream about a dirty kitchen.

“This is all your fault, Katharine, ”my father would insist when the cat got out or the dishwasher broke.

From the time we were little, my sister, brothers and I told on each other. We set a place for blame at the dinner table.

But the Whites didn’t worry about who had done what. They picked up the pieces and moved on with their lives. The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer Jane died.

In July, the White sisters and I decided to take a car trip from their home in Florida to New York. The two older sisters, Sarah and Jane, were college students, and the youngest, Amy, had recently turned sixteen. Proud of having a new driver’s license（驾照），Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip. She showed off her license to everyone she met.

The big sisters shared the driving of Sarah’s new car during the first part of the trip, but when they reached less crowded areas, they let Amy take over. Somewhere in South Carolina, we pulled off the highway to eat. After lunch, Amy got behind the wheel. She came to a crossroads with a stop sign. Whether she was nervous or just didn’t see the sign no one would ever know, but Amy continued into the crossroads without stopping. The driver of a large truck, unable to stop in time, ran into our car.

Jane was killed immediately.

I was slightly injured. The most difficult thing that I’ve ever done was to call the Whites to tell them about the accident and that Jane had died. Painful as it was for me to lose a good friend, I knew that it was far worse for them to lose a child.

When Mr. and Mrs. White arrived at the hospital, they found their two daughters sharing a room. Sarah had a few cuts on the head; Amy’s leg was broken. They hugged（拥抱）us all and cried tears of sadness and of joy at seeing their daughters. They wiped away the girls’ tears and made a few jokes at Amy as she learned to use her crutches（拐杖）.

To both of their daughters, and especially to Amy, over and over they simply said, “We’re so glad that you’re alive. ”

I was astonished. No blame. No accusations.

Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop sign.

Mrs. White said, “Jane’s gone, and we miss her terribly. Nothing we say or do will ever bring her back. But Amy has her whole life ahead of her. How can she lead a full and happy life if she feels we blame her for her sister’s death? ”

They were right. Amy graduated from the University of California and got married several years ago. She works as a teacher of learning-disabled students. She’s also a mother of two little girls of her own, the oldest named Jane.

1. How did the accident occur?

A. Amy didn’t know what to do when she saw the stop sign.

B. Amy didn’t slow down so their car ran into a truck.

C. Amy didn’t stop at a crossroads and a truck hit their car.

D. Amy didn’t get off the highway at a crossroads.

2. The Whites did not blame Amy for Jane’s death because _____.

A. Amy was badly injured herself and they didn’t want to add to her pain

B. they didn’t want to blame their children in front of others

C. they didn’t want Amy to feel ashamed and sorry for the rest of her life

D. Amy was their youngest daughter and they loved her best

3. From the passage we can learn that _____.

A. Amy has lived quite a normal life

B. Amy has never recovered from the shock

C. Amy changed her job after the accident

D. Amy lost her memory after the accident
