Section III Reading Comprehension (60 minutes) 阅读理解A

Competition for admission to the country's top private schools has always been tough,

but this year Elisabeth realized it had reached a new level. Her wake-up call came

when a man called the Dalton School in Manhattan, where Elisabeth is admissions

director, and inquired about the age cutoff for their kindergarten program. After

providing the information, she asked about the age of his child. The man paused

for an uncomfortably long time before answering. "Well, we don't have a child yet.

We're trying to figure out when to conceive a child so the birthday is not a problem.

"

Worries are spreading from Manhattan to the rest of the country. Precise current

data on private schools are unavailable, but interviews with representatives of

independent schools all told the same story: an oversupply of applicants, higher

rejection rates. "We have people calling us for spots two years down the road, "said

Marilyn of the Seven Hills School in Cincinnati. "We have grandparents calling for

pregnant daughters. " Public opinion polls indicate that Americans' No. 1 concern

is education. Now that the long economic boom has given parents more disposable

income, many are turning to private schools, even at price tags of well over $10,000

a year. "We're getting applicants from a broader area geographically than we ever

have in the past," said Betsy of the Latin School of Chicago, which experienced

a 20 percent increase in applications this year.

The problem for the applicants is that while demand has increased, supply has not.

"Every

year, there are a few children who do not find places, but this year, for the first

time that I know

of, there are a significant number without places," said Elisabeth.

So what can parents do to give their 4-year-old an edge? Schools know there is no

easy way to pick a class when children are so young. Many schools give preference

to children of their graduates. Some make the choice by drawing lots. But most rely

on a mix of subjective and objective measures: tests that at best identify

developmental maturity and cognitive potential, interviews with parents and

observation of applicants in classroom settings. They also want a diverse mix.
