When the six very best students from different cities in Guangdong Province all together chose universities in Hong Kong; when the very best students of Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Beijing or Qinghua University; when the highest enrollment (录取) rate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University reached 48︰1, itˈs the high time to ask what happened to the education in China .

    Years ago, the answer certainly would be "Beijing or Qinghua University". But now no one could give the exact answer without thinking twice. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual attraction to a great many mainland students.

    Itˈs no doubt to call this HK craze (狂热,发狂), which even surprised HK universities themselves.

    How can HK universities come before Beijing and Qinghua University and attract so many mainland students?

    First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount sholarship (奖学金), especially for the top students who can receive the sum scholarship as much as 400,000 HK dollars. Since a number of families find it a little difficult to afford higher education, itˈs easy to understand why HK universities are their first choices.

    Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and both Chinese and English are spoken in class. This kind excellent language atmosphere (氛围) is another attraction for mainland students.

    Furthermore, university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as exchange students.

    Can mainland top universities like Beijing or Qinghua University be calm as before when facing the unexpected competition from HK? Will they take measures (采取措) to win back the top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation (名声,名誉)? Time will explain it.

    The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for the Whole improvement of education in China, After the awakening and action-taking of mainland universities, they can perform better together with HK universities.

    At least, it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees (学费) are what students have to consider when they are choosing universities. Itˈs time to move.

"Depend on yourself "is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. Others still can help you. But all these only help you to help yourself.

Some young men don't try their best to make themselves valuable to human beings. They never can gain achievements unless they see their weak points and change their course. They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as they live, unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on their own efforts.

When you hear the word "volunteering(志愿活动)", what do you think of it? You may think volunteering is to help others, give them money or things. It is true that volunteering can help others, but it can help you, too. If you are sad about something, doing some volunteering can be a great way to do away with bad feelings.

    Volunteering also lets you see your own life in new ways. Sometimes it's easy to worry about things like grades and health or get angry because you don't have the newest computer games. Volunteering lets you spend some time in doing other things for a while.

    Lots of people and kids find that they really enjoy volunteering. You may meet many different things. For example, after you get to know that there are some kids on the other side of your town really need winter clothes, you can give them some clothes. You will know that, thanks to you, they don't need to live without warm clothes.

    In a word, doing volunteering work means a very important thing: You make a difference in the world!
