For American's high school seniors, April is the cruelest month. That's when colleges flood 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 private college？ Or would her future be just as bright if she went to a less expensive school？
These questions have no easy answers. It is tree that big law firms as well as those leading American establishments—Sullivan & Cromwell—a gilt-edged diploma is a distinct advantage. However, there is plenty of evidence to prove that an elite education is not that necessary. According to a survey by Fortune, the majority of top CEOs did not attend an elite college(though a small number did.)
So what kind of return is there likely to be on that $125,000 investment？ On average, a person with an undergraduate degree now earns almost twice as much as someone with only a high school diploma. Some researchers found that those who attend more prestigious schools reported higher earnings.
Then Alan Krueger, an economist at Princeton and Dale, a researcher designed a study. They found no economic advantage in attending a selective college. Their study looked at freshman class at 30 schools, ranging from Yale to Denison. Krueger and Dale's research while intriguing is not definitive. Even they themselves find it odd that the results seem to show that while there is a correlation between college selectivity and future income, the more a college costs, the higher the earning of its graduates.
Critics have questioned their research—the limited number and range of schools evaluated, and conclusions. Under such circumstances, it is hard to say which is right and which is wrong. What can be said is that 1) An elite education gives students—especially less rich ones—better access to certain kinds of elite jobs. 2) There is no economic advantage to choosing an expensive, but not very good private schools. 3) Talented students everywhere rise to the top. So the future is in the hands of young men themselves.
Why is April the cruelest month for American high school seniors？
A．Because April is the month when they have the college entrance examination.
B．Because April is the time when the high school will decide whether they can graduate or not.
C．Because April is the time for high school seniors to find jobs.
D．Because April is the month for colleges to inform. the students who will have the chance to have further education.

Common sense would tell us that physically active children may be more likely to become active and healthy adults.In the United States, elementary and middle schools are advised to give students two and a half hours of physical activity a week.That is what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Heart Association recommend (推荐). They say high schools should provide about four hours of physical activity each week. Yet many schools across the country have reduced their physical education programs. Criticism of the cuts has led in some places to efforts to give students more time for exercise, not less.
The future health of Americans may depend on it. Just this week, a study reported that life expectancy (预期寿命) has fallen or is no longer increasing in some parts of the United States. The situation is worst among poor people in the southern states, and especially women. Public health researchers say it is largely the result of increases in obesity (肥胖), smoking and high blood pressure. They also blame differences in health services around the country.
In 2006, a study found that only four percent of elementary schools provided daily physical education all year for all grades. This was true of eight percent of middle schools and two percent of high schools. The study also found that 22 percent of all schools did not require students to take any P. E. (体育课).
Charlene Burgeson is the executive director of the National Association for Sport and Physical Education. She says one problem for P. E. teachers is that schools are under pressure to put more time into academic subjects. Also, parents may agree that children need exercise in school. Yet many parents today still have bad memories of being chosen last for teams because teachers favored the good athletes in class.
But experts say P. E. classes have changed. They say the goal has moved away from competition and toward personal performance, as a way tp build a lifetime of activity. These days, teachers often lead activities like weight training and yoga. Some parents like the idea of avoiding competitive sports in P.E class. Yet others surely dislike that idea. In the end, schools may find themselves in a no-win situation.
Why are schools recommended to give students certain time for sports？
A．Because different schools set up different physical education programs.
B．Because the physical activity of children will influence their health in adulthood.
C．Because nowadays children spend too much time on their studies.
D．Because only four percent of elementary schools provided daily physical education.
