Its too early to answer.But its presence is challenging the Ministry of Education.Even without the approval of the ministry it seems that the school is determined to move forward and enroll 50 students, so-called child prodigies(奇才), to begin classes on March l, 2011.On graduating in 2015, these students will receive a diploma unauthorized by the Ministry of Education-unlike the students of their age from the state-run universities.The school is committed to modeling itself on Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, but if the government will not approve the school, the situation could cause a lot of trouble for those 50 students if they want to do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions.Other schools could turn their applications down for their unauthorized diplomas.The difficulties, however, have not frightened students and their parents away.On Dec.18, 2010 more than 1,000 students and their parents visited Nanfang University of Science and Technology for interviews.Private investment marks the school out from other higher learning institutions in the nation.Not a penny comes from the government. So the government will have no voice in how the school will be run.The Ministry of Education has published a comprehensive plan for education reform and development between 2011 and 2020.The goal is to make Chinas higher education internationally competitive.To accomplish this goal, the government should have the courage to let the educators who have big ideas try them out.The ministry should have applauded the independence the school in Shenzhen has shown and encouraged more to do likewise.Education reform in China has reached a new and crucial stage.Nanfang University of Science and Technology has a long way to go to prove itself competitive rather than a diploma mill.1Over 1,000 students and parents visited the school because .Athey believe that the school will have a bright futureBthey believe the government is sure to approve the school2Cthe school models itself on Hong Kong University successfully Dthey will never do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions2The trouble the students in the school may have is that .Athe government will have no voice in the schoolBthey wont receive any diploma when graduating from the schoolCother schools are unlikely to accept their diploma from the schoolDthey will not learn how to be competitive3What does the author think of Nanfang University of Science and Technology?AIt is another kind of diploma mill.BIts impossible for the school to be competitive.CIt will never get the approval from the Ministry of Education.DIts independence from the government may benefit the education reform.4What is the best title of the passage?AUniversity of New Style.

Both sexes agreed that being in charge is an advantage. Then, 150 women were asked to imagine being a married mother and either making most of the household decisions or making them jointly with her husband. Those who had imagined being in control at home placed less value on things such as earning a high salary than those who had imagined sharing the running of the household.Then, almost 650 men and women were asked to imagine one of the same two scenes but with 3division of household chores.

Women are fond of doing household tasks.B. Women have no interest in the
