College visits are important. Before you commit years of your life and money to a school, be sure you’re choosing a place that is a good match for your personality and interests. You can’t get the "feel" of a school from any guidebook, so be sure to visit the campus. Below are a few tips for getting the most out of your college visit.

Explore on Your Own

Of course you should take an official campus tour, but be sure to allow time to hang around on your own. The trained tour guides will show you a school’s selling points. But the oldest and prettiest buildings don’t give you the entire picture of a college. Try to walk the extra mile and get the complete picture of the campus.

Read the Bulletin Boards

When you visit the student center, academic buildings and residence halls, take a few minutes to read the bulletin boards. They provide an easy way to see what’s happening on campus. The ads for lectures, clubs and plays can tell you what’s going on outside the classrooms.

Eat in the Dining Hall

You can get a good feel for student life by eating in the dining hall. Try to sit with students if you can. Do the students seem happy or stressed? Also, is the food good? Are there rich healthy options? Many admission offices will give prospective students coupons(优惠券) for free meals in the dining hall.

Visit a Class in Your Major

If you know what you want to study, a class visit makes a lot of sense. You’ll get to observe other students in your field and see how involved they are in classroom discussion. Try to stay after class for a few minutes and chat with the students to get their impressions of their professors and major. Be sure to call in advance to schedule a classroom visit — most colleges don’t allow visitors to drop in on class unannounced.

Talk to Lots of Students

Your campus tour guide has been trained to market the school. Try to talk to students who aren’t getting paid to impress you. These important conversations can often provide you with information about college life that isn’t part of the admission script. Few university officials will tell you if their students spend all weekend drinking or studying, but a group of random students might.

A. to walk around the campus alone

My father had always been an alert observer of human character. Within seconds of meeting someone, he could sum up their strengths and weaknesses. It was always a challenge to see if any of my boyfriends could pass Dad’s test. None did. Dad was always right -- they didn’t pass my test either. After Dad died, I wondered how I’d figure it out on my own.

That’s when Jack arrived on the scene. He was different from any other guy I’d dated. He could sit for hours on the piano bench with my mother, discussing some composers. My brother Rick loudly announced that Jack wasn’t a turkey like the other guys I’d brought home. Jack passed my family’s test. But what about Dad’s?

Then came my mother’s birthday. The day he was supposed to drive, I got a call. “Don’t worry,” he said, “but I’ve been in an accident. I’m fine, but I need you to pick me up.”

When I got there, we rushed to a flower shop for something for Mom. “How about gardenias?” Jack said, pointing at a beautiful white corsage(胸花). The florist put the corsage in a box.

The entire ride, Jack was unusually quiet. “Are you all right?” I asked. “I’ve been doing a lot of thinking,” he said. “I might be moving.” Moving? Then he added, “Moving in with you.” I nearly put the car on the sidewalk. “What?” I asked. “I think we should get married,” he said. He told me he’d planned his proposal(求婚) in a fancy restaurant, but after the accident, he decided to do it right away.

“Yes,” I whispered. We both sat dumbfounded, tears running down our cheeks. I’d never known such a tender moment. If only Dad were here to give his final approval.

“Oh, let’s just go inside.” Jack laughed. My mother opened the door. “Happy birthday!” We shouted. Jack handed the box to her. She opened it up. Suddenly, her eyes were filled with tears.     “Mom, what’s wrong?” I asked. “I’m sorry,” she said, wiping her eyes. “This is only the second gardenia corsage I’ve ever received. I was given one years ago, long before you kids were born.” “From whom?” I asked. “Your father,” Mom said. “He gave me one right before we were engaged.” My eyes locked on Jack’s as I blinked away(眨掉) tears. Dad’s test? I knew Jack had passed.

39. What can we learn about Jack from Paragraph 2?

A. Jack got the family’s approval except Rick’s.    B. Jack was different from any other boy.

C. Jack was getting on well with Mother.                    D. Jack knew a lot about piano.

40. Why did Jack keep quiet during the ride to the writer’s house?

A. Because he was not a talkative person.  

B. Because he was still thinking of the accident.

C. Because he was not feeling all right after the accident.

D. Because he was thinking of planning a proposal to the writer.

41. What should be the writer’s feeling when she heard that Jack talked about marriage?

A. surprised                   B. worried           C. pleased          D. disappointed

42. The writer’s mother cried because _____________.

A. Her daughter found her life partner at last.

B. She had never received such a beautiful gift.

C. The gift reminded her of the gardenia corsage her husband gave her.     

D. The gardenia corsage Jack gave her was too expensive and beautiful.

Franz Kafka wrote that “a book must be the ax(斧子) for the frozen sea inside us. ” I once shared this sentence with a class of seventh graders, and it didn’t seem to require any explanation.

We’d just finished John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men. When we read the end together out loud in class, my toughest boy, a star basketball player, wept a little, and so did I. “Are you crying?” one girl asked, as she got out of her chair to take a closer look. “I am,” I told her, “and the funny thing is I’ve read it many times.”

But they understood. When George shoots Lennie, the tragedy is that we realize it was always going to happen. In my 14 years of teaching in a New York City public middle school, I’ve taught kids with imprisoned parents, abusive parents, irresponsible parents; kids who are parents themselves; kids who are homeless; kids who grew up in violent neighborhoods. They understand, more than I ever will, the novel’s terrible logic—the giving way of dreams to fate.

For the last seven years, I have worked as a reading enrichment teacher, reading classic works of literature with small groups of students from grades six to eight. I originally proposed this idea to my headmaster after learning that a former excellent student of mine had transferred out of a selective high school-- one that often attracts the literary-minded children of Manhattan’s upper classes -- into a less competitive setting. The daughter of immigrants, with a father in prison, she perhaps felt uncomfortable with her new classmates. I thought additional “cultural capital” could help students like her develop better in high school, where they would unavoidably meet, perhaps for the first time, students who came from homes lined with bookshelves, whose parents had earned Ph. D.’s.

Along with Of Mice and Men, my groups read: Sounder, The Red Pony, Lord of the Flies, Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. The students didn’t always read from the expected point of view.

About The Red Pony, one student said, “it’s about being a man, it’s about manliness.” I had never before seen the parallels between Scarface and Macbeth, nor had I heard Lady Macbeth’s soliloquies(独白) read as raps, but both made sense; the interpretations were playful, but serious. Once introduced to Steinbeck’s writing, one boy went on to read The Grapes of Wrath and told me repeatedly how amazing it was that “all these people hate each other, and they’re all white.” His historical view was broadening, his sense of his own country deepening. Year after year, former students visited and told me how prepared they had felt in their first year in college as a result of the classes.

Year after year, however, we are increasing the number of practice tests. We are trying to teach students to read increasingly complex texts, not for emotional punch(碰撞) but for text complexity. Yet, we cannot enrich the minds of our students by testing them on texts that ignore their hearts. We are teaching them that words do not amaze but confuse. We may succeed in raising test scores, but we will fail to teach them that reading can be transformative and that it belongs to them.

43. Why were the students able to understand the novel Of Mice and Men?

A. Because they spent much time reading it.

B. Because they had read the novel before.

C. Because they came from a public school.

D. Because they had similar life experiences.

44. The girl left the selective high school possibly because ______.

A. she was a literary-minded girl               B. her parents were immigrants

C. she couldn’t fit in with her class            D. her father was then in prison

45. To the author’s surprise, the students read the novels ______.

A. creatively        B. passively             C. repeatedly           D. carelessly

46. The author writes the passage mainly to ______.

A. introduce classic works of literature

B. advocate teaching literature to touch the heart

C. argue for equality among high school students

D. defend the current testing system

The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) says 200 million Africans go to sleep hungry, that number represents 23 percent of the population on the continent. A new UN study shows that eight out of ten countries facing the worst food shortage are in Africa.

Recently African experts, farmers and others gathered in Kenya for two days of discussion. They debated ways to feed the growing human population in Africa and deal with rising temperatures on earth surface.

The UN Climate Change Coordinator for Africa, Richard Munang was one of the speakers. He noted a need to increase food production to feed the population, but he said this must be done without putting more pressure on the environment. He said it is important to find ways to feed people without destroying forests, rivers and seas that provide food.

At the meetings, Emmanuel Dlamini served as a negotiator for One Africa. In his opinion, climate change is here to stay. He says African government and farmers have to look for ways to deal with the changes.

African farmers say that a combination of unpredictable rain and rising temperatures creates an environment for crop diseases that affects production.

The conference also heard from a representative of Nestle, one of world’s largest food companies. Nestle Africa’s Hans John says farmers need assistance from food processing companies and non-governmental organizations to deal with challenges.

What Teenagers Can Do To Earn More Respect

As teenagers continue to grow and develop into young adults, the transition(过渡) into adulthood has begun. With so many physical and emotional changes going on, certain manners are often forgotten and other adult traits are not yet accepted as a way of life. 51    By doing the following things, you will earn more respect.

Contribute to the household

At the very least, clean up after yourself. As a teenager, you are old enough to clean up after yourself. When you make a mess, clean it up. 52    All chores(家务) that you do help to reduce the load of the person who did them before. Now that you’re old enough and capable, why shouldn’t you contribute to the household? 53   

Be responsible

54    Whether they are basic things, like brushing your teeth or doing your homework, or more involved chores that contribute to the household, simply fulfill your responsibilities on time. When adults know that they can rely on you, their trust and respect for you will increase.

Solve more of your own problem without asking for help

Instead of taking the easy approach and asking for help, make an effort to solve your problems on your own first. The “easy way” is only easy for you, but it is an extra task for the person from whom you are seeking help. 55    Depending on the problem, 15 minutes of effort is usually a good guideline. When you become a good problem solver, you increase your value to the community.

A. Everyone has certain responsibilities.

B. It will make your life more pleasant.

C. The people doing the chores before will greatly appreciate the help.

D. This includes, but is not limited to, your dishes and your room.

E. By being aware of these manners and traits, you can manage them sooner.

F. Seek help only after you have made an honest effort to solve your own problems.

G. When speaking to a group, speak loud enough.

Regular safety checks and maintenance of escalators(手扶电梯) and elevators have been urged in the wake of a tragedy in Central China’s Hubei province.

A woman fell   76 a gap at the top of an escalator at a department store.   77 woman aged 30 managed to push her two-year-old boy to   78(safe) at the top of the escalator.

The woman fell beneath the floor only a few seconds later   82 another shopping assistant tried to grab her arm   83 failed. It took rescuers   84(near) four hours to recover the body of the woman.

59   the opportunity to explore the wonders of the concert hall, the little boy rose and 60   explored his way through a door with a sign 61   “NO ADMITTANCE”.

Suddenly, the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the impressive piano on 64  . In horror, the mother saw her little boy sitting at the 65, happily picking out “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”.

At that moment, the great piano master made his 66  onto the stage, quickly moved to the piano, and 67   in the boy’s ear, “Don’t quit. Keep playing.”

Then leaning over, Paderewsik reached down with his 68   hand and began filling in a bass part.

Harvard dares us to dream big to aspire(渴求) to change the world. Here on this Commencement Day, we are probably thinking of grand destination and big adventures that await ourselves.My experience here reminded me how important it is for researchers to communicate our knowledge to those who need it. But that’s an impact every one of us can make!More than never before, our society emphasizes science and innovation. But an equalimportant emphasis should be on distributing knowledge we have to where it’s needed. Change the world doesn’t mean that everyone has to find the next big thing. It can be as simple as becoming better communicators, and finding more creative ways to pass on to the knowledge we have to people in their local community. Our society also needs to recognize that the equal distribution of knowledge is a pivotal(关键) step of human development, and work to bring this into real.
