May the first is an important date in the college admission process in the United States．This is the last day for high school seniors to accept or reject offers of admission in the fall．But according to a recent report, there is a great change．Acceptance rates at the top colleges this year were lower than ever． 1.
These days, college applicants are applying to more colleges because online and common applications make the process easier． 2. On the other hand, deciding students for top colleges to accept can be difficult because it takes much time．Students may not like being put on waiting lists．Also, common colleges work more to get the students they accept to accept them．Some colleges hold visiting days that offer a chance to attend classes and stay overnight．Some universities send gifts． 3.
For many families, the most important thing colleges can do is show them the money, especially this year; the weak economy makes parents nervous． 4. The recent problems that spread from the housing market to credit markets have even affected student’s loans．So lately, top schools have to spare lots of money to increase their financial aid for students．
5. The Education Department expects the number of high school graduates to start to go down．This will happen as the last of the children of the baby boom generation finishes high school．The number is not expected to start rising again until 2015．

If you still know little about the “IMF”, it’s time you started to read about it, for it has been a hot issue of the whole world．
The International Monetary Fund （IMF） is one of the international financial（金融的） institutions, which works for global growth and economic stability．It provides policy advice and financing to members in economic difficulties and also works with developing nations to help them achieve economic stability and reduce poverty．The“ IMF” currently has a near-global membership of 185 countries．
To become a member, a country must apply for it and then be accepted by a majority of the existing members．On joining, each member of the IMF is assigned a quota（配额）, based broadly on its relative size in the world economy．The IMF’s membership agreed in May 2008 on a rebalancing of its quota system to reflect the changing global economic realities, especially the increased weight of major emerging markets （新兴市场） in the global economy, such as China, India and Russia．
The following diagram gives more information about major international financial institutions．
1.The main cause of the IMF’s decision to make changes in its quota system is ______．
A．the shortage of resources B．global growth and economic stability
C．the changing economic situations D．the need to accept new members
2.The main purpose of the IMF is to ______．
A．prevent the member countries from getting into wars
B．collect money from rich countries to help poor ones
C．provide assistance to its member countries when necessary
D．make sure the world economy develops in a healthy way
3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．The quota an IMF member country gets depends on the size of the country．
B．India together with China is proposing an increase in emergency funds．
C．The more money a member contributes to the IMF, the more say it has in it．
D．The International Development Association is meant to support developed countries．
4.From the diagram we can see the present IMF is most probably under the control of _______．

Throw out the bottles and boxes of drugs
in your house．A new
theory suggests that medicine could be bad for your health．This new theory argues that healing （the process of becoming healthy and
strong again） is at our
fingertips：we can be
healthy by doing Reiki on a regular basis．
Supporters of medical treatment argue that medicine should be trusted since it is effective and scientifically proven．They say that there is no need for spiritual methods such as Reiki, Yoga，Tai Chi．These waste our time，something that is quite precious in our material world．There is medicine that can kill our pain and x-rays that show us our broken bones．We must admit that these methods are very effective in the examples that they provide．However, there are some “everyday complaints”such as back pains，headaches，which are treated currently with medicine．When you have a headache，you take an Aspirin；when you cannot sleep，you take Xanax without thinking of the side effects of these．When you use these pills for a long period，you become dependent on them；you cannot sleep without them．We pay huge amounts of money but never get better．How about a safer and more economical way of healing?When doing Reiki to yourself，you do not need anything except your energy so it is very economical．Also，there are no side effects and it is scientifically explained．
They also claim that serious illnesses such as HIV／AIDS and cancer cannot be treated without drugs．They think so because these patients spend the rest of their lives in the hospital taking medicine．How can Reiki make these people healthy again? It is very unfortunate that these patients have to live in the hospital losing their hair and weight because of the side effects of the medicine they take．Actually，instead of drugs which are expensive and have many side effects，you can use your energy to overcome the hardships of life，find an emotional balance，leave the stress of everyday life and let go of the everyday worries．
Some people may still hold that in our material world，everything depends on time．How
would it be possible to find time to do Reiki?In fact，Reiki does not require more than 15 minutes of our time．It is less time consuming than medicine if we think of all the time we spend taking medicine for some complaints and taking some more for the side effects as well．
