21、Mike Maietta was eating lunch when he got a text message from his mom.
“Notre Dame,” it said. “Big envelope!”
Mike, a senior at a Californian high school, shouted with joy. The big envelope meant that the excellent university in Indiana had offered him a place in its Class of 2013. But the $51,300 annual fee is a big obstacle. So Mike and his parents are considering offers from several other colleges and are calculating the costs of tuition, housing and holiday trips home.
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 and plunging house prices 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 $3,000 a year, just for travel.”
As families weigh their choices, some are going back to financial aid offices hoping 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 Manhattan, she is seriously considering the University of California San Diego (UCSD), because of the high cost in New York.
“The tuition for NYU is twice as much as UCSD,” said Rachel, 17. “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’ll 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 Students 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 certain families. A record 30,428 students applied for 2,300 places at Stanford, partly because the university increased financial aid for families earning below $10,000.
【1】Mike may give up Notre Dame because of ______.
A.travel fees B.financial concerns
C.poor exam results D.worries about living far away from home
【2】The phrase “Big envelope” in paragraph 2 probably refers to “______”.
A.A text message B.A large gift package
C.An admission letter D.A scholarship letter
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A.The number of American senior students applying for financial aid is increasing.
B.Rachel Brown has given up NYU because of its high tuition and big debts.
C.It is inevitably hard for college students to borrow money to cover costs.
D.An interest-free loan for students helps more students apply for Stanford.
【4】The passage mainly focuses on ______.
A.the calculation of different costs including tuition
B.the extremely hard financial situation in America
C.the excitement of students’ being able to enter ideal colleges
D.the financial crisis of families over college entrance
22、 Have a wonderful summer in Italy! Teach English to children at our summer camps and get paid.
Job Description
Each summer, EDUCO sends hundreds of mother tongue English speakers to over 200 summer camps across Italy, from the Alps, to Sicily. Our camps offer a unique experience for Italian children as they do not stick firmly to traditional teaching methods; instead, they employ the use of drama, songs and games to help learn English gradually and easily. Camps run form 9 am to 5pm, from Monday to Friday, and the children are completely involved in this mode of learning from start to finish. Each camp runs for either one or two weeks, before sending tutors off to a new location.

We’re looking for enthusiastic, responsible and reliable tutors who love working with children and are prepared to teach English in fun and creative ways. Previous teaching experience and Italian language skills are NOT necessary for this role.
A five-day course in Bologna(an Italian city) will provide all tutors with the training they need for our camps. Working in small guided groups, you’ll be taught some skills to help you successfully run camps. EDUCO will also provide you with a number of necessary materials to take to camp.

24、 I grew up in a poor family with a single mom addicted to drugs. Often there was no money for food, and I was always hungry.
On my fifth birthday, some close family members were invited to go to a park to celebrate my birthday. No cake. No presents. Except for my auntie, she had an envelope in her hand.
Before everyone sang Happy Birthday, I saw a little boy, probably my age, and a woman, digging in the park dustbin for food. I begged my mom to invite them to my party but my mother was not a fan of strangers. She said no.
I was attracted by them. I didn't know others struggled like me, and it hurt my heart. I watched them as everyone sang. I watched them when my auntie handed me the envelope. I watched them as I opened it until I saw the contents, a one hundred-dollar bill. My mother was enraged because my auntie gave me such a large amount of money. Maybe she thought my auntie trusted me more than her with cash.
We were poor. I didn't eat 3 days a week and I had a very hard childhood. But I had never dug in a dustbin for food.
My auntie kept talking it over with my mother. Finally, she told me I could do anything I wanted with that money. So I did. I walked to the boy and his mother. I explained to the boy that it was my birthday and my present was $100, and I wanted to give it to them. There were so many tears and thanks.
I, and my auntie, understood how powerful it was to give the only money I'd ever seen away. My mother never did. I paid dearly for the action that night. But it was worth it.
I think about that boy and his mother often.
