BEIJING — China's education authority will tighten the widely criticized policy of “extra credits” for the national college entrance examination to ensure a fairer chance for all exam-takers.
Under the policy, high school students who win awards in national Olympic competitions could get ‘‘extra credits’, up to 20 points for the national college entrance exam. Students with talentin sports and students who are from ethnic groups can also benefit from this policy. The extra credits have increased these students' chances of being admitted by famous universities. Some parents were found to have helped their children fabricate(伪造)award experiences or falsify qualifications to get extra credits.
“It has harmed education equality，” the ministry said.
Xiong Bingqi, vice-chief of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, said the policy is designed to help students who have special talents but may be weak in academic performance to have a chance to receive higher education. It will still be needed but it is time to make the rules fairer," he said.
The ministry said it will reduce the range of competitions whose winners can get extra credits, and limit the winners, privileges.
The new policy will apply to students who begin high school in 2011, it said.
Chen Lei, a mother of a 10-year-old girl, said she welcomed the ministry's policy adjustmentas she does not want her daughter to become an Olympic competition geek.
But not all the Chinese parents welcomed the new policy. “It is like a thunderbolt for me. My 13-year-old son has spent so much time studying Olympic math, and participated in so many technological competitions during vacations. It is useless now,” said Dong Wen, a 43-year-old mother.
A student said, “Many students have changed the current study plan, and they can abandon the competition. I will be interested in learning the courses which can improve my abilities.”
Yuan Guiren, minister of education, told China Daily that the reform is an attempt to consider the overall quality of an applicant. “But the country will not stop the national college entrance examination as it is still the most objective way to evaluate talent in China,” he said.

Once upon a time, there was a wonderful old man who loved everything on the land —— animals and plants.
One day while walking through the woods, the old man found a cocoon of a butterfly. He took it home. A few days later, a small opening appeared; he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther. Then the man decided to help the butterfly, so he took a pair of scissors and cut the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then came out easily.
But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, or they would be smaller. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled （枯萎）wings. It never was able to fly.
What the man in his kindness and hurry did not understand was that the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening was nature’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were allowed to go through our life without any difficulties, it would cripple (无能) us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. And we could never fly.
1.The old man cut the cocoon in order to ____.
A. kill the butterfly
B. play with the butterfly
C. make the butterfly come out easily
D. have the butterfly
2.The reason why the butterfly could not fly is that _____.
A. the old man broke its wings
B. it was too small
C. newly born butterflies can’t fly
D. it came out of its cocoon without enough struggle
3.What can we know from the passage?
A. That old man was fond of everything except the butterfly.
B. It was the old man that stopped the butterfly flying.
C. The old man realized his mistake.
D. It’s not hard for the butterfly to come out of the cocoon.
4.What does the author want to tell us by writing the passage?
A .We should help others.
B. Without others' help we can still succeed.
C. Struggles in our life can make us stronger.
D. Butterflies can fly without people’s help.

Dear Mary,
I receive your E-mail just now. Don’t worry about me. I was getting on well with my research work in the lab. To my greatly surprise, you say you will give up learn English. The reason is because you have not done well in it recently and you have lost interests. I’m afraid that I can’t agree with you. I know it is difficulty to learn English, yet English is widely used in the world today. It will be important tool in our future work. Beside, it is becoming more and more important in our daily life. The more harder you study, the more successful you will be. Do remember that where there is a will, there is a way. I’ m looking forward to hearing good news from you.
