I have to make a choice．Princeton, along with its significantly better financial （财政的）aid package．Or Yale, which wrote me a letter praising my writing skills and saying that his university is prefect for me．

    First of all, I sent e-mails to some friends, asking for advice．The feedback was half and half． I also sought opinions from current students．The Yale Website was friendlier, giving me the names of Yalies from China．

    I sent my questions and concerns to all of them．From their replies, I could tell that these Chinese students, whether they are American Chinese or native Chinese, were all enthusiastic(热心的)about Yale．Their love for the school shone through their words．I was beginning to lean toward Yale．

    The next deciding factor （因素）is the Spring Visit．I went down to New Haven, Connecticut, and was very excited to see Yale．I think it is the most beautiful campus, though most people would disagree．(Princeton is said to have the most beautiful campus of all the Ivy League universities．) Compared with the red brick buildings at Harvard or Andover, I appreciate the Gothic(哥特式的) styles of Yale much more．

    The culture in Yale is also more attractive than Princeton’s．I went to an event held by CASA( Chinese American Students Association), and met many Chinese Americans there．I discovered Yale’s Chinese population is very active and often stages cultural  events．I even bought a shirt that reads “ Ye Lu Da Xue” in traditional Chinese．

    I enjoyed Yale so much that I began to feel glad that Harvard had refused me． I used to think it was Harvard or nothing．Had I been accepted, I wouldn’t have given Yale or Princeton a chance．

1． _________made me begin to like Yale in some way．

A．The letter from the university           B．My e-mail’s feedback

C．The Yale website                    D．The Chinese students’ interest in it

2．_________finally made me choose Yale．

A．The Spring Visit                     B．The Gothic styles of Yale

C．The Yale community                  D．The shirt that reads“ Ye Lu Da Xue”

3．What does the underlined sentence mean?

A．My friends’ advice is not worth listening to at all．

B．My friend didn’t tell me the truth completely．

C．Only half of my friends wrote back to me on line, giving me advice．

D．Half of my friends suggested Princeton while others suggested Yale．

4．What do you think “Ivy League” refer to most probably?

A．An organization of universities and colleges in the United States．

B．An organization of universities and colleges in the world．

C．A football league in the United States．

D．A student union in an American university．

Dear Annie,
I have never written a letter to a newspaper before, I have just never felt the need to do such a thing. I have always felt I was quite able to do everything by myself. But now I know I was wrong.
Sometimes you really need help in life, I guess. And that’s why I’m writing this letter to you.
I have a happy family. I love my children and they love me . I’m a mother of three children. I know well how to bring up (带大)children, and two of them are already over twenty, so it is nothing new for me.
But now I have a serious problem:the Internet problem. My little son is just sixteen, and I feel he should do a lot of homework now , but he doesn’t seem to be interested in it . He can happily spend six or eight hours at a time on the Tnternet every day , He chats with pelple that he has never met before , but speaks little to us .He does lots of useless things on the Internet. And he sees red if you ask him to do his homework.
I just want him to be a good student . Now he seldomdoes his lessons at home. I’m afraid he will drop behind in his class soon. His father is a doctor , a very kind man . He never seems to be afraid of his father.
What can I do ?And don’t tell to talk to him. We’ve tried that and it didn’t work. But this is really a big problem in our family. I have tried everything I can think of . I
wonder how the Internet is so attractive(有吸引力的).You’re my last hope. Please tell me what I can do!
Yours,
Ellen Smith
