    阅读理解。
         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, it's the high time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is.
         Years ago, the answer certainly would be"Beijing or Qinghua University". But now no one could give the
    exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual
    attraction to a great many mainland students.
         It's no doubt to call this HK craze (狂热), which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities them
    selves.
         How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Beijing and Qinghua and attract so many mainland
    students?
         First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount scholarship, especially for the top students who can receive
    the sum scholarship as much as 400,000 HK dollars. Since higher education has become a kind of heavy burden
    of many families, it's easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering of HK universities is great.
         Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual
    (双语) education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere 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 relevant measures to win back the top students who once help
    them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it.
         The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire 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 among students' top concern when
    they are choosing universities. It's time to move.
    1. What is the passage mainly talking about?
    A. Some thoughts brought by the enrollment of HK universities.
    B. Higher education in Hong Kong.
    C. The competition between HK University and Beijing University.
    D. The fall of mainland universities.
    2. Top students from mainland apply for HK universities because ______.
    A. many students now would love to study abroad to get a better experience
    B. they concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universities
    C. HK Universities offer higher scholarship, better environment and more opportunities for their further study
    D. Beijing University has lost its worldwide reputation
    3. From the passage we can see HK universities ______.
    A. didn't mean to enroll top students from mainland
    B. didn't expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popular
    C. have strict enrollment rules and only 1out of 48 students can get the chance to study there
    D. are proud of their teaching staff and facilities
    4. What does the author mean by saying "It's time to move." in the last paragraph?
    A. Mainland universities should take measures as soon as possible to attract students.
    B. The opportunities come for top students to study abroad.
    C. Mainland universities should make full preparations to enroll Hong Kong students.
    D. Top students should be offered further education free of charge.

         HK Disneyland gives sneak preview Hong Kong Disneyland gave journalists a sneak peek two months
    before the park opens, showing off classic thrill rides like the Space Mountain roller coaster (过山车) and
    giving tours of restaurants serving all the major Chinese cuisines (烹调). 
                                                                
         The park features an East-meets-West theme, with a trademark (标志性的) Sleeping Beauty Castle and
    a Main Street that recreates small-town America. The food is distinctly Asian, catering to the masses of
    tourists Disney hopes to attract from across the border in mainland China.
         Robert Iger, who takes over as Disney's CEO in October, told reporters he dreamed of going to Disneyland
    when he was a child.
         "I'm convinced that the children of this region will have that same dream. They will dream of one day
    being able to come to Hong Kong Disneyland," Iger said.
         The park plans to attract 5.6 million visitors a year and opening day on September 12 is already sold out,
    said Don Robinson, managing director of the Hong Kong Disneyland Group.
         Robinson said 95 percent of the park is completed and that workers are rehearsing (彩排) shows and
    testing rides.
         The park has eight restaurants-with 29 000 seats-serving all the major Chinese cuisines, like Cantonese,
    Shanghainese and northern noodle dishes.
         Visitors will also be able to dig into Japanese sushi and Kashmiri chicken curry.
         The park will feature popular rides like Space Mountain as well as a jungle river cruise and a Buzz Lightyear
    ride, named after the spaceman warrior in the movie "Toy Story".
         A long palm tree-lined driveway leads to the park. At the front gate, there's a huge water fountain with
    a bronze statue of a whale spouting a stream of water on which Mickey Mouse is surfing.
         Throughout the park, signs are in Chinese and English.
         Robinson said the park hopes to eventually attract 10 million people a year, and when that goal is reached,
    Disney will expand the attractions.
    【个性思考】 Which is the biggest and whose admission fee is the highest?
