let us guide your children. ”“often parents like to do things or make decisions for their children. in their eyes, children never grow up, ”said lu guodong, dean(系主任)of undergraduate studies at zhejiang university. “but at university, growing up is the goal for all students. growing up is the biggest success. in china, students grow up too slowly as parents are always in charge. students never think about what path they should take and why, ”he said. zhang yanxue, a senior student studying chinese language and literature at the communication university of china, is president of the self-improvement society. although most students can finish the registration process by themselves, their parents usually prefer accompanying them to the university. “this is the third time ive welcomed freshmen and i didnt see much change in that regard, ”zhang said. “the number of students who came alone is the same as in previous years. ”sometimes, however, the distance between university and home is so great that many parents are too worried to let their children travel alone. to reassure parents, renmin university of china introduced a new method. it asks senior students to return to their hometown and accompany freshmen back to the campus. this helps freshmen get used to living independently. “students should have an independent character and a dream. learning how to use that independent character to achieve their dreams and finish tasks assigned by the country is very important, ”said tsinghua university president chen. 【文章大意】9月第一周, 各大高校已陆续进入开学季。近日, 一些提倡新生独立报到的举措引发公众热议。有人认为这是新生学习独立的第一步, 很有教育意义。1. how many universities are mentioned in the passage? a. 4. b. 3. c. 5. d. 6. 【解析】选a。细节理解题。第一段中的tsinghua university;
