Its too early to answer. But its presence is challenging the Ministry of Education(教育部). Even without the approval of the ministry it seems that the school is determined to move forward and enroll(招收)50 students, so-called child prodigies(奇才), to begin classes on March l, 2011. On graduating in 2015, these students will receive a diploma unauthorized by the Ministry of Educationunlike the students of their age from the state-run universities.The school is committed to modeling itself on Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, but if the government will not approve the school, the situation could cause a lot of trouble for those 50 students if they want to do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions. Other schools could turn their applications down for their unauthorized diplomas.The difficulties, however, have not frightened students and their parents away. On Dec.18, 2010 more than 1,000 students and their parents visited Nanfang University of Science and Technology for interviews.Private investment marks the school out from other higher learning institutions in the nation. Not a penny comes from the government. So the government will have no voice in how the school will be run.The Ministry of Education has published a comprehensive plan for education reform and development between 2011 and 2020.The goal is to make Chinas higher education internationally competitive. To accomplish this goal, the government should have the courage to let the educators who have big ideas try them out. The ministry should have applauded the independence the school in Shenzhen has shown and encouraged more to do likewise.Education reform in China has reached a new and crucial stage.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that was incurable, and that I would live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is my doctors code for preparing yourself to die.I lived with that diagnosis all day. I was completely in despair. Later that evening, I had another examination and my wife told me that tumor turned to be curable with surgery. I had the surgery and Im fine now.This was the closest Ive been to facing death. To tell the truth, no one wants to die. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. It clears out the old to make room for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.Your time is so limited that you shouldnt waste it repeating someone elses life. Don t be trapped by dogma（教条）which is living with the results of other people s thinking. Dont let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart. It somehow already knows what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.1.The doctor advised the author to go home and get his affairs in order because_.A. he had to finish some important things before death B. nobody could save himC. he should spend his la
