Mike, a senior at a Californian high school,

This year, money is the driving factor for a growing number of high school seniors, who have to decide what colleges to attend this fall. Less jobs have changed family spending.
“We’re excited that Mike got into eight great
schools,” said Mike’s father, an engineer at Microsoft. “But if you consider
going to school out of state, you’ve got to think about all of the other costs:
moving, flying back and forth for the holidays. You’re looking at about $
As families weigh their options, some are going back to financial aid offices in the hope that help packages can be increased.
Rachel Brown was happy to get a thick envelope
from New York University (NYU). Although she has always wanted to live in
“The tuition for NYU is twice as much as UCSD,” said Rachel, 17, who is trying to decide. “My mom doesn’t want me to have a big debt when I graduate, and I don’t want that either. I’d have to take out a loan of $15,000. I’m going to check and see if there’s any way that NYU can offer me any financial aid.”
More than 7.6 million American students have filled out the Free Application for Federal (聯(lián)邦的) Student Aid, a 19.9 percent increase over last year.
This month the Federal Department of Education urged college financial aid officers to give more help to families suffering from the recession (衰退).

It is impossible not to make a mistake at some point of your life. We may as well accept that something will go wrong and we will be to blame. It is therefore sensible to work out some plans for apologizing, and the best way to apologize is by letter. This way you can take care over every word you write －which you can’t do if you say sorry to someone in person.
We all say or do something that we wish we hadn’t said or done. You may say something that accidentally hurts someone, or you may provide a service which doesn’t come up to the standards that a cheat or customer expected.
You may feel that it was a mistake which couldn’t be avoided. Rather than dwell on the mistake. you should quickly try to remedy (補救) the problem. An effective letter of apology is an important part of that process.
For the content of the letter, just remember TABS －Timing, Action, Brevity, Sincerity.
The timing of a letter of apology is crucial一it must be sent as soon as possible. Any delay in sending the letter will only compound the problem. In this case. “better late than never” is not the best motto! The longer you wait before writing a letter of apology, the more it will seem that you have been forced into writing it.
Although it is important to recognize what has gone before, it is also necessary to detail the action you plan to take to rectify whatever it was you did wrong. Research has shown that some indication that you have thought about what future action you plan to take is always well received.
A letter of apology should be brief and the word “sorry” should appear no more than twice. Indicate that you are aware you are using it a second time “once again, I’m so sorry for” or “as I said early, I’m so sorry about” Finally, the tone of the letter has to be sincere. In fact, all the above factors will help in this respect.
And don’t think that letters are out of date in the Email-oriented 21st century. An apology email can be worse than no apology at all!
64. What kind of advice does the writer suggest about apologizing?
A. It’s a good idea to write a letter of apology as soon as something goes wrong.
B. It’s a good idea to send several emails to apologize and show that you mean it.
C. Write a long letter apologizing several times to make your point.
D. Wait to see how they react to your letter before planning to do anything
65. According to the writer, you should not _______ after you have made a mistake.
A. avoid what happened
B. write an effective letter of apology
C. waste time worrying about what happened
D. recognize what has gone before
66. The underlined word “rectify” means ___________.
A. to improve B. to put aside C. to apologize D. to put right
D
Tom appeared on the sidewalk with a bucket of whitewash and a long-handled brush. He stopped by the fence in front of the house where he lived with his aunt Polly. He looked at it, and all joy left him. The fence was long and high. He put the brush into the whitewash and moved it along the top of the fence. He repeated the operation. He felt he could not continue and sat down.
He knew that his friends would arrive soon with all kinds of interesting plans for the day. They would walk past him and laugh. They would make jokes about his having to work on a beautiful summer Saturday. The thought burned him like fire.
He put his hand into his pockets and took out all that he owned. Perhaps he could find some way to pay someone to do the whitewashing for him. But there was nothing of value in his pockets ―nothing that could buy even half an hour of freedom. So he put the bits of toys back into his pockets and gave up the idea.
At this dark and hopeless moment, a wonderful idea came to him. It filled his mind with a great, bright light. Calmly he picked up the brush and started again to whitewash.
While Tom was working, Ben Rogers appeared. Ben was eating an apple as he walked along the street. As he walked along, he was making noises like the sound of a riverboat. First he shouted loudly, like a boat captain. Then he said “Ding-Dong-Dong”, “Ding-Dong-Dong” again and again, like the bell of a riverboat. And he made other strange noises. When he came close to Tom, he stopped.
Tom went on whitewashing. He did not look at Ben. Ben stared a moment and then said: “Hello! I’m going swimming, but you can’t go, can you?”
No answer. Tom moved his brush carefully along the fence and looked at the result with the eye of an artist. Ben came nearer. Tom’s mouth watered for the apple, but he kept on working.
Ben said, “Hello, old fellow, you’ve got to work, hey?”
Tom turned suddenly and said, “Why, it’s you, Ben! I wasn’t noticing.”
“Say ―I’m going swimming. Don’t you wish you could? But of course you’d rather work ― wouldn’t you? Of course you would.”
Tom looked at the boy a bit, and said “What do you call work?”
“Why, isn’t that work?”
Tom went back to his whitewashing, and answered carelessly.
“Well, maybe it is, and maybe it isn’t. All I know is, it suits Tom Sawyer.”
“Oh come, now, you don’t mean to say that you like it?”
The brush continued to move.
“Like it? Well, I don’t see why I shouldn’t like it. Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?”
Ben stopped eating his apple. Tom moved his brush back and forth, stepped back to look at the result, added a touch here and there, and stepped back again. Ben watched every move and got more and more interested. Soon he said,
“Say, Tom, let me whitewash a little.”
Tom thought for a moment, was about to agree; but he changed his mind.
“No ―no ―it won’t do, Ben. You see, Aunt Polly wants this fence to be perfect. It has got to be done very carefully. I don’t think there is one boy in a thousand, maybe two thousand, that can do it well enough.”
“No ―is that so? Oh come, now ―let me just try. Only just a little.”
“Ben, I’d like to, but if it isn’t done right, I’m afraid Aunt Polly … ”
“Oh, I’ll be careful. Now let me try. Say ―I’ll give you the core（核心）of my apple.”
“Well, here ―No, Ben, now don’t. I’m afraid …”
“I’ll give you all of it.”
Tom gave up the brush with unwillingness on his face, but joy in his heart. And while Ben worked at the fence in the hot sun, Tom sat under a tree, eating the apple, and planning how to get more help. There were enough boys. Each one came to laugh, but remained to whitewash. By the time Ben was tired, Tom sold the next chance to Billy for a kite; and when Billy was tired, Johnny bought in for a dead rat ―and so on, hour after hour. And when the middle of the afternoon came, Tom had won many treasures.
And he had not worked. He had had a nice idle time all the time, with plenty of company －and the fence had been whitewashed three times. If he hadn’t run out of whitewash, Tom would have owned everything belonging to his friends.
He had discovered a great law of human action, namely, that in order to make a man or a boy want a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to get.
67. Why did Tom take all his bits of toys out of his pockets?
A. Because he is tired and wanted to play with his toys.
B. Because he wanted to throw his toys away.
C. Because he wanted to give his toys to his friends.
D. Because he wanted to know if he could buy help with his toys.
68. Tom was about to agree to let Ben whitewash when he changed his mind because ______ .
A. Tom wanted to do the whitewashing by himself
B. Tom planned to make Ben give up his apple first
C. Tom was unwilling to let Ben do the whitewashing
D. Tom was afraid Ben would do the whitewashing better.
69. We can learn from the passage that ________ .
A. Tom was interested in whitewashing the fence.
B. Tom had a lot of friends who are ready to help others.
C. Tom was unwilling to whitewash the fence, but he managed to let other boys do it for him
D. Tom was good at whitewashing the fence, so he looked at the result of his work with the eye of an artist.
70. Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passage?
A. The Happy Whitewasher B. Tom And His Fellows
C. Whitewashing A Fence D. How To Make The Things Difficult To Get

Homework help
Do math problems 15 through 25. Conjugate (詞態(tài)變化) the verbs on page 50 of your English workbook. Read pages 12 through 20 of the reading material for Chinese. When you are finished with that, don’t forget to fill in the missing chemical symbols on the Periodic Table worksheet (化學元素周期表).
Sound like a lot of your homework? As you know, homework is a major part of going to school. Luckily, there are several things you can do to make homework less work.
Create a homework plan
Most high school students have between two and three hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you may need to devote even more time. It is a good idea to come up with some kind of homework schedule, especially if you are going to do sports or other activities after school.
Watch where you work
A bedroom, study or any room where you can get away from noise and interruption is the best place to get homework done. But don’t study on your comfortable bed or you might fall asleep there.
Get to work
When you start your homework, do the hardest assignments first. It is tempting to start with the easy thing to get it out of the way. But you’ll have the most energy and focus when you begin working. It is best for you to use this mental power on the subjects that are the most challenging. Later, when you’re more tired, you can focus on the simpler things.
Take a break
Most people’s attention spans (跨度) don’t last very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive than if you stop every so often. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people.
Get help when you need it
Sometimes even though you are paying attention in class, certain subjects seem too hard. The first place to turn for help is your teacher. He or she may be able to work with you before or after school and explain things more clearly. You may be able to get some help from another student.
However, keep in mind that this might not get you the results you need. Lots of people understand something perfectly but are not able to explain it. Another option is a tutor. The advantage of having a tutor is that it gives you the opportunity to ask questions directly and work at your own pace.

五、
Is it necessary for freshmen to have a laptop when they go to university? Different people have different ideas. Some think it is necessary, and others think not.
The supporters think that children deserve a laptop as an award for their great efforts and achievements. In addition, having a laptop in hand would bring more convenience to their studies and easier access to the Internet, which will in turn absolutely benefit them.
The opponents believe it would add to the financial burden of some families. Besides, many universities are equipped with modern facilities, providing students with adequate computers for use.
As far as I am concerned, it is not necessary to buy a laptop for freshmen. The reason for this is that they can freely have access to the computers in universities. what’s worse, they may be addicted to computer games because of lack of the ability to control themselves, which will have bad effects on their study and health.
（As far as I am concerned, it is acceptable to buy a laptop for freshmen if their families can afford to buy one. The reason is that they must keep up with the development of science and technology by getting rich knowledge from the Internet. Only in this way can they have a place in the future world.）
