Beijing Qingpei Educational Research Institution and Beijing Zhongqing Yihua Technology Ltd had to return 150,000 yuan(US$18, 500)to the students. The students said that Qingpei placed advertisements in magazines in 2004, claiming it was directly under the prestigious Tsinghua University. The ads also claimed professors from Tsinghua University would teach language courses and college preparatory courses.I lowever, the students later found the school was neither affiliated to Tsinghua nor operated by the university after the term started in September 2004. they decided not to continue their study and asked fbr their money back. The students then filed a lawsuit against both.Court judgement said the two defendants did not have legal certification to run schools, thus they should pay back tuition fees. The two institutions did not send anyone to appear at court, thus giving up the right to defend themselves.A teacher suniamed Chen with the School of Continuing Education under Tsinghua University told China Daily yesterday that Qingpei co-operated with Tsinghua in 2002 and 2003. “Many institutions like to use the Tsinghua brand to attract students,he said. 4lSludents should be careful so as not be cheated.''The Chinese Ministry of Education issued a warning last month that Chinese students who want to study overseas ought to check foreign schools carefully or go to registered agencies fbr help.

If fim and pleasure arc equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, self - improvement.Ask a bachelor （单身汉） why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painfiil. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night , s sleep or a three - day vacation. I don' t know any parent who would choose the word fiin to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now wc can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much iun actually may not be happy at all.60. According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because.A. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilitiesB. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains singleC. he finds more fun in dating than in marriageD. he ibars it will put an end to all his fiin adventure and excitement 62. Raising children, in the authorJ s opinion is.A. a moral duty B. a thankless job C. a rewarding task D. a source of inevitable pain 63. From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from.A. hatred B. misunderstanding C. prejudice D. ignorance 64. To understand what true happiness is one must.A. have as much fiin as possible during one's lifetimeB. make every effor
