Will Nanfang University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen announce a new beginning for China’s higher education reform? It’s 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 China’s 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.

阅读下面短文,并根据短文后的要求回答问题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。

[l]Fear and pain are two of the most useful things that human beings and animals have, if they are properly used. If fire did not hurt when it burnt, children would play with it until their hands were burnt away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear didn’t, a child would burn himself again and again, because fear would not warn himself to keep away from the fire that had burnt himself before. A really fearless soldier is not a good soldier because he will soon be killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which human beings and animals might soon die out.

[2] In our first sentence we suggested that fear should be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. Even in your house you are not absolutely safe: A plane may crash on your house, or you may get cancer!

[3] The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but to use fear as your servant and guide instead. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take.

[4] In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you. Fear warns you, then you jump out of the way, and all is well.

[5] In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to ___________. For example, you can’t prevent a plane crashing onto your house. In this case, fear is no longer of any use, and you have to try to overcome it.

    The Man Who Achieved Everything He Could

Once upon a time, there lived a man who wanted to achieve everything he was capable of achieving. He was obsessed with this desire --- he ate, slept, and walked with one and only dream: to die, having accomplished every single thing he was able to accomplish.

There were so many things he could do. He felt like the whole world could be his, 36   he set his mind to it.

He knew that his  37  had no limits. He knew that he could accumulate  38  that would dwarf (使相形见绌) that of ancient kings; he knew that he could  39  books that would shake the minds of generations; he knew that he could  40  things that would forever change the lives of millions of people. He lived, constantly feeling the power within --- and that power knew no bounds.

There was only one problem: having such a potential, but only one  41, he had to make a choice. He had to decide where to  42  all of his ability. Making that decision was extremely hard, for any  43  meant cutting off some future achievements. In the meantime, he went to school, graduated, found a job, married, and  44  children. And he spent every minute of his spare time trying to decide  45  he should bring his potential into full play.

Time went by, and he grew  46. Some roads he used to dream about became closed to him. But there was still so much he could accomplish.

One day, a sudden chest pain made him come home early. He dragged his feet to the bathroom. There, feeling  47, he looked in the mirror. A worn-out, gray-haired man stared back at him. He looked  48  into these eyes and, all of a sudden, 49  one simple truth. The next moment, the pain came again, and his heart stopped  50  forever.

The truth that came upon him was rather simple: People only flatter themselves (自以为是,自鸣得意) by thinking that they could have  51  this or that if not for such-and-such circumstances. Yet this is nothing but  52  . You simply lack something that is  53 for achieving that goal you’ve never reached — a talent, a skill, willpower,  54 something else. In fact,  55  you don’t achieve is something you’re not capable of achieving.
