(美国的夏令营今年吸引了5万名中国学生参加，是历年来的最高记录; 一次夏令营要花费2到4万美元)

My comment:
(a) San Bernardino, California
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Bernardino,_California
(a city and county seat of San Bernardino County, California; a population of 207,832 as of 2009; named for Bernardino of Siena on May 20, 1810; California State University, San Bernardino is here)

* Bernardino of Siena
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernardino_of_Siena
(1380-1444; Italian)

* Siena
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siena
(Siena (also widely spelled Sienna in English) is a city in Tuscany, Italy. It is the capital of the province of Siena)

(b) 海河中学; 天津市高中示范校历史名校重点中学
www.hhzx.com.cn
("位于美丽的海河岸边，是一所具有百年历史的天津市市级重点中学、高中示范校、历史名校，是天津市唯一以天津的母亲河——海河命名的学校")

I wonder why the URL ends with ".com," in lieu of ".edu."

(c) 夏令营 is summer camp in English. I have not been one, but my impression of a summer camp is not like this. From newspaper reports, a summer camp seems like one for teenagers to have fun outdoors, as opposed to study.
(d) Chinese are real rich now! Incredibly rich. Before I went to college in Taiwan, I almost never went out of town.
