答案

Dear Ms. Sullivan,

I’m Li Hua, a middle school student from China. I’ll graduate from high school this year, and I’m planning to apply for the Yale Summer Session 2013. Now I’m writing to ask about several questions concerned.

Firstly, I’m curious to know about the course arrangement. How many courses will you offer in all and what subjects will it cover? Since I’m interested in computer science very much, I would very much like to take computer related courses. I would also want to know the time schedule of these courses to see whether I’ll have time to visit other places in America on weekends.

Secondly, can you introduce boarding arrangement during the Summer Session? Are all the students living on campus or shall we rent houses in advance?

Thank you!

Looking forward to your reply!

Best regards,

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

     The "aha moment"(顿悟时刻) for Arjun Nagendran came one recent afternoon while he was cleaning up the muddy paw prints, and his pet dog, Rocky, was tracking across the house "again".

    "Why not make shoes for dogs?" the 10-year-old boy thought. For most kids, the moment might have

ended right here. But for Arjun and five of his classmates from Littleton School, an accidental idea proved

talent when they won first place at the first-ever Student Inventors Day at the Liberty Science Center in

Jersey City. The winning invention, "Green Paws"-an eco-friendly dog shoe made from bark, three leaves and recycled rubber-got the group a $1,000 prize, two television appearances and a shot at being the

next "As Seen on TV" hit product.

    More than 20 schools, most of them from New Jersey, gathered at the center to show their green

inventions. Each team had 10 minutes to introduce their inventions to the judges. In the end, the chief

judge Khubani announced that it was the Green Paws product that stood out, particularly because his

company had been looking into the very idea of how to keep paws clean.

    Pet products are usually popular sellers, he said, noting that his company has marked four new pet

inventions this year alone. And while his senior managers had put forward the idea of new paw wipes,

they had never thought of pet shoes, he said.

    "We thought about cleaning pets' paws, but we never thought about keeping them clean in the first

place." Khubani said after the event. "They actually have an idea that is marketable." The company will

begin conducting market research on Green Paws this week, he said. But Arjun and his team will have to

put off another day before they receive congratulations from their classmates.

2.The underlined sentence in Paragraph2 may mean ____________.

A. not all children are talented because of IQ

A. To prove Arjun's idea is marketable.

B. To praise Arjun's talent in invention.
