5、国人都觉得他真该高兴，然而，这位年轻人却被忧虑所困扰。这所大学的名次在他所咨询的排行榜上并不靠前，他的同学全然不知道这所学校，因此同学们的祝贺就不那么热烈了。难道这一“成功”真是个失败？他是不是该留在北京上那所录取了他的尖子大学？或者是他到了美国就转学到一所他认为原本应该接受他的名牌大学去？当启程的时间到来时，他是那么拿不定注意，乃至向朋友表示遗憾。这是个名次多么有害的例子。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的标准，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同看法等问题。我也许特别关注图书馆的质量，你可能强调计算机的使
