问题     几年前我认识一个非常聪明但任性的中国青年，他急切地想去美国读大学，但又没有被他申请的长春藤联合会名牌大学录取。所幸的是，一所在美国人，特别是受过高等教育的美国人当中享有盛誉的规模较小的文科大学向他提供了奖学金，但这所大学在中国几乎不为人知。凡是听我说起他的情况的美国人都觉得他真该高兴，然而，这位年轻人却被焦虑所困扰。这所大学的名次在他所咨询的排行榜上并不靠前，他的同学们也全然不知这所学校，因此同学们的祝贺也就不那么热烈了。难道这一“成功”真是个失败?他是不是该留在北京上那所已录取他的尖子大学?或者是他到了美国就转学到一所他认为原本应接收他的名牌大学去?当启程的时间到来时，他是那么拿不定主意，乃至向朋友们表示遗憾。
   这个例子显示了排名的害处。要想知道什么意味着最好的大学显然是不可能的，因为每个人的标准都与别人不同；即使他们都同意某一个特定标准，他们对一个学校的估价也往往反映出信息的不完整和个人的不问看法等问题。我也许特别关注图书馆的质量，你可能强调计算机的使用方便程度，另一个人可能觉得图书馆与计算机都不如师生的交往重要，这又该如何确定呢?
选项
答案I knew a clever but willful young man who was eager to study in America but not admitted by Public (Ivy) & Miami University, the university he applied for. Luckily, a small art college, which enjoyed a good reputation in Americans especially the well-educated Americans but unknown in China, supplied him the scholarship. The Americans that heard of the young man’s experience felt that he should be appreciate about the result, but the lad was trapped in anxiety. The university didn’t on the top lists, and his classmates all never heard of it before, so the congratulation he got was few. Is the success a failure? Whether he should stay in the famous college in Beijing that had admitted him? Or should he transfer to another famous college he thought should have admitted him when he reached America? By the setting out time came, he stilt hadn’t made up his mind, and finally he had to regret. The example reflects how harmful the place is. It’s obviously impossible to know what the best university means, for the individuals criteria differs from each other; even if they agree with a certain criteria, the evaluation of a college is always with such defects as the incompleteness of information, the differences in individuals. Maybe I concern much about the library, while you emphasize the easy access to computers, and another person considers the communication between teachers and students of more importance than the library and computer, then how can we make a universal assessment?
