    If you got 100,000 dollars by chance,how would you spend it? Here are some answers of our readers:

Elizabeth Stahl:I would donate it to an arts program for young boys and girls.The decrease in the creative arts programs such as music,art and drama in the schools have left many young artists out in the cold in academics.Much like sports,art in any form can and does make a difference in young people’s lives.

    Marjorie C.:Although I agree with Elizabeth Stahl 100%,I’d give my money to each of my children to ensure the very best of education for my two granddaughters.

    Clark:With one hundred thousand dollars…1 would distribute it among those whom I know that are in need and ask that they in turn then share half of what they’ve received with others that they personally know are in need.

Carol Wilson:First, I would take care of all my debts and gain good credit again,and then I would spend the rest on a new car.After all is said and done,take a nice long vacation.

     About 40 percent of the top students in college entrance examinations have chosen overseas universities
for their postgraduate studies, according to a survey.
     Most of them have stayed overseas after finishing their intended courses, showed a survey that tracked
130 top performers in college entrance exams from 1977 to 1998.
     The survey, released on the China Alumni Association website, found it worrying that many of the top
students would not _____ despite the country's rapid development in the past few decades.
     The government should find better ways to hold back talented students, said Cai Yanhou, a professor
with Central South University in Changsha, capital of Hunan Province.
     UNESCO figures show Chinese students consist of 14 percent of international students, the highest in
the world. Their favorite destinations for higher studies are the US, Britain and Japan. Some experts said
handsome scholarships, better job prospects and more opportunities to pursue further studies are the main
attractions of foreign universities.
     But Cai, who also led the survey team, said "top in exams" does not necessarily mean "top in career"
because the study found none of the top students at college entrance exams had become a top Chinese
expert or academic. Some of them are just more adaptable to exam-oriented education (应试教育) than
their peers, experts said.
     The media fill pages and time slots(逢) with their "success" stories to gain wider readership and
viewership. High schools promote their former students proudly to attract new ones, and universities
want to show their superior status by recruiting (吸收) them, they said.
     Wang hoped future reforms would do away with the score-oriented method so that students can be
judged from all aspects.

     These days, people are concerned about the growing number of kids who are overweight.
Do you know why? Kids know it's a problem, too. We recently asked 1, 168 boys and girls about
the problem.  More than half of them (52%) said that too many kids were overweight.
    "This is important because knowing there is a problem is the first step to solve the problem," said
Dr Sandra Hassink, a doctor in Delaware who helps kids with weight problems.
     What does "overweight" mean? Most people who are overweight have too much body fat. The
person who is overweight weighs more than a healthy person, considering age, height, and whether
the person is a boy or a girl.
     When asked why some kids were overweight, many of the kids (54%) said it was because
overweight kids didn't exercise enough or eat right. Others said that kids were overweight because
fast food restaurants served the wrong foods.
     The research also asked the kids some questions about themselves. Most of the group (78%) said
they were either the right weight or underweight. The rest of the group thought they were overweight,
with 4% of the kids saying that they were very overweight.
     The research results don't prove that 4% of the kids were very overweight, but it shows that 4%
of the kids believed they were overweight and answered in that way. On top of that ,54% of the kids
said they worried or stressed out about their weight, with more girls feeling in this way. Of those who
 said they never worry about their weight, 59% were boys and 33% were girls.
