填空题Is Harvard worth it? Conventional wisdom says yes. But with the price of a degree from America's most famous university and other elite private colleges now surpassing $125,000, many families — and a number of economists — aren't so sure. Here's a look at the evidence. For American's high school, seniors, April is the cruelest month. That's when colleges flood the postal system with news of who has won a place in next fall's freshman class. For more than a few families, a difficult decision will follow: Is it worth paying some $125,000 to give their child an education at an elite best private college? Or would her future be just as bright if she went to less expensive school? 41. ______ Certainly many neurotic boomer parents — and their stressed-out resume-building teenagers — assume that it is always better to choose Harvard over Big State U. because of Harvard' s presumably superior educational environment, better alumni connections, and more lucrative (profitable) on-campus recruiting opportunities. 42. ______ It's also true that if you want a career in big leading firms in the US, a gilt-edged diploma is a distinct advantage. Then again, there's plenty of anecdotal evidence that an elite education is hardly necessary. The majority of top CEOs (chief executive officer) surveyed by FORTUNE in 1990 did not attend an elite college. 43. ______ The academic evidence is murky to start with the basics: College pays. On average, a person with an undergraduate degree now earns almost twice as much as someone with only a high school diploma, up from 1.5 times in 1975. The economic literature on the payoff of graduating from an elite college, however, as opposed to any college, is far less conclusive. Several studies during the past decade found a connection between higher future earnings and attendance at a college with high SAT scores. Most of the research concluded that for each 100-point increase in the average SAT score, a graduate could expect a 3% to 7% increased in lifetime's earnings. 44. ______ You would expect graduates of selective schools — which attract successful students — to have successful careers. (It would be stunning if they didn't.) What such studies do not measure is how an individual's earnings are affected by the choice of college. Researchers found that those who went to the more prestigious schools reported higher earnings. 45. ______ Admissions offices at elite schools include many other criteria in their decisions — grades, extracurricular activities, recommendations, essays, interviews. These factors may reveal abilities, like good communication skills, that are far more valuable in the workplace than a perfect 1600. Because economists have no data on these traits, they term them" unobserved." But they are hardly unimportant. Until recently, no one had tried to control for unobserved characteristics in measuring the effect of an elite education on earnings.[A] What is less clear to many parents and their college-bound youngsters is whether it makes economic sense to attend an elite school with a total four-year price tag big enough to buy a nice suburban house in many parts of the country.[B] So what kind of return is there likely to be on that $125,000 investment? And how does it compare with the return on a less expensive but also less prestigious education?[C] These questions have no easy answers. Of course, that's not the impression you get from the $500-million-a-year college-admissions industry, with its magazine rankings, test prep courses, and guidebooks.[D] But the studies compared schools, not people.[E] School selectivity, measured by the average SAT score of the students at a school, doesn't pay off in a higher income over time.[F] It's true that big law firms, major teaching hospitals, and investment banks — even the offices of FORTUNE — are stuffed with Ivy Leaguers.[G] But SAT scores are not everything.

填空题Translate the following passage into English．Write your translation on the Answer Sheet．(北京第二外国语学院2011研，考试科目：基础英语) 在我们家里，母亲是至高无上的守护神。日常生活全是母亲料理。三餐饭菜，四季衣裳，孩子的教养，亲友的联系，需要多少精力!我自幼多病，常在和病魔作斗争。能够不断战胜疾病的主要原因是我的母亲。如果没有母亲，很难想象我会活下来。十几岁的时候，身体太差，只得休学在家。当时的治法是一天吃五个鸡蛋，晒半小时太阳。母亲特地把我的床安排在有阳光的地方，不论多忙，这半小时必在我身边，一分钟不能少。我曾由于各种原因多次发高烧，除延医服药外，母亲费尽精神护理。用小匙喂水，用凉手巾覆在额上。有一次高烧神志不清，觉得像是在一个狭窄的洞中穿行，挤不过去，我以为自己就要死了，一抓到母亲的手，立刻知道我是在家里，我是平安的。后来我经历了名目繁多的手术。在手术过程中，也是母亲，一次又一次陪我奔走医院，医院的人以为是我陪母亲，其实是母亲陪我。我过了40岁，还是觉得睡在母亲身边最心安。
