By any measure HockerilI is one of the most successful schools in Britain. Named last month as one of the government s flagship academies, its students regularly come at or near the top of exam results for the entire country, outperforming such famous names as Eton or Harrow. But unlike those private schools, where fees can exceed 28, 000 or 45, 000 a year, Hockerill, in the Hertfordshire town, is a state comprehensive, which charges no tuition fees and is forbidden from selecting its students on the basis of academic ability. And while a third of Hockerill s 830 students are boarders, they are chosen on the basis of need rather than ability to pay. So when the school s principal heard of government plans to raise university tuition fees in England to 9, 000 a year, he decided to make use of the school s international focus. urging his students to apply to universities abroad and hiring a counselor （顾问）to help the students who want to apply to universities in countries whose fees are cheaper. “ If you can get into a university in France and pay about 180 a year for an education at one of the best institutions in the world, why would you pay 9, 000 a year in Britain? ” the principal asked. Pupils at Hockerill are offered a choice of seven foreign languages：French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese or Mandarin. History and geography classes are taught exclusively in French or German. But with English rapidly becoming the international language of education, even less linguistically flexible students soon find that going abroad can save them money while enhancing the quality of their education. “ Our students can get to Maastricht in Holland by train more quickly than they can get to Lees from London,” the principal said. Just over the border from Germany and Belgium, Maastricht University offers a highly regarded undergraduate program taught in English. Tuition fees are about 1, 430, a year. Germany and France offer even greater savings. 59. What is Hockerill s suggestion to its students? A. Learning foreign languages. B. Picking courses on their basic needs. C. Applying for less famous universities. D. Receiving further education outside of UK. 60. We can learn from the passage that Hockerill _. A. admits students based on their academic performance B. provides dormitories to the students in need C. collects less money than private schools D. hires counselors for every student 61. What s Hockerill s principle s attitude towards government s tuition plan? A. Neutral. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Negative. 62. Students choosing Maastricht in Holland will benefit from the followings EXCEPT A. education quality B. convenient location C. flexible program plans D. lessons taught in English C “ Oh, my God! Did I really just send that text?” Most people have said something that they wish they could take back. And if they had paused to think about it first, they probably would have acted differently. Pausing doesn t pay off just when you speak. Scientific studies have shown that making a habit of pausing before you do something can actually have a big impact on how your life turns out. In making decisions we rely on two areas of the brain. One area creates and processes emotions；the other governs logical thought. The type of decision, how we feel about it, and how prepared we are to handle it help determine which brain area has the most influence. But our age also plays an important role. Thinking through the consequences of one s actions is actually harder for teens because the area controlling logical thought is not fully developed until around age 25. This is why teens often feel an intense emotional drive to act impulsively it s how their brains are structured! Though this tendency to act without considering the
