C■ ScriptListening for general prehensionIn recent years, a degree from an elite university has bee more important for getting a good job, and as a result petition for entering these universities has bee more intense in America.America’s college admission process is very different from China’s examination system. Rather than relying only on test scores to determine college admission, most American colleges consider several factors in making the decision. In addition to test scores, these factors include grades from high school, high school activities, letters of remendation from teachers and an interview. Students are also often asked to write essays that describe themselves, their experiences and their goals for the future. American colleges feel that this system gives them an overall picture of the applicant’s character. This system can be plicated and it is the source of much worry among American high school students and their parents.Another factor worrying students and their parents is the rising cost of sending their children to college. The cost of college education has risen higher than that of inflation for over twenty years. In addition, the government aid for college tuition has decreased severely in recent years. The elite private universities are the most expensive, and many families are worried that they will not be able to afford an education that will help their children get a good job in the future. Such universities often seek private donations so that they can give scholarships to students who are qualified but cannot afford the high tuition rates. The number of private scholarship available has increased in recent years, but paying for college is likely to remain one of the financial burdens that American families must bear.Listening for specific information 1.
