For top students from low-income families,the challenge of applying to colleges is particularly difficult．One student in four deals with that—the writing,the studying,the researching and applying—completely on their own．One approach to make this whole process easier? Pair students up with an adviser．

That’s the idea behind CollegePoint, an initiative to help gifted students go to schools that match their intellectual(智力的)ability. When a high school student takes a standardized test—the PSAT, SAT or ACT——and they score in the 90th percentile,and their families make less than $80,000 a year,they get an email from the program offering them a free adviser．The advisers listen,guide and answer students’ questions．

Connor Rechtzigel, an adviser in Minnesota, sees the importance of his role, for research shows that low-income students are far more likely to undermatch because they don’t think they have what it takes to get in and because many don’t even know what schools are out there．He helped high school senior Justice Benjamin,the first in his family to apply to college,think about what his ideal learning experience was．Finally, Justice narrowed in on smaller schools where he could study environmental science and made his final choice：Skidmore College in New York．He felt empowered by the process．

Figuring out how to pay for college is a major part of what,CollegePoint advisers do．Nakhle,an adviser in North Carolina,is working with Hensley,an Ohio high school senior who can’t get extra financial help from her family．They spent a lot of time comparing and analyzing her financial-aid award letters,which made her decision much clearer．Finally,the Ohio State University offered an option where she would pay nothing．Staying in-state wasn’t her first choice,but it was the best option for her．

8．What is the second paragraph mainly about? A．How CollegePoint works．

B．The goal of CollegePoint．

D．The challenge of choosing colleges．

C．Ways to apply for a free adviser．

9．What prevents low-income students from attending proper colleges? A．Overestimating their abilities． B．Knowing little about colleges． C．Lack of enough learning experience． D．Failure to get support from their families．

10．Why did Hensley finally choose the Ohio State University? A．She didn’t want to stay far from home． B．Her favorite major was provided there． C．She would show her talents to the full． D．The university met her financial needs．
