Are You Ready for College?
Before you send in your college applications, keep this in mind: it’s not the norm (准则) in every culture for students to go to college right out of high school.
1 So if you find yourself applying for college simply because it’s the thing to do after high school, think again. Going to college right after high school may be the norm in your community, but it’s not the norm everywhere and it may not be the best decision for you.
2 Yes, higher education often gives young people a big advantage in the working world, but not always. A solid technical or business school application can give you an advantage as well, and if the environment seems like a better one for you than a traditional college campus, this might be your best choice. A lot of people lead successful lives with a high school education and years of work experience.
The price of a college or university education has become a serious burden for young people and their families. 3 In some cases, putting off college for a year or two while a student earns money full time can make sense. 4
5 Almost all students suffer from homesickness, but for some students, the transition may be too much to deal with.
A.Is going to college always the best choice for high school graduates?
B.Spend some time considering your choices before sending in your applications.
C.Besides, it’s quite possible that going to college is not the right choice for you.
D.During this time, the student can take a few inexpensive classes at a community college.
E. So students take massive amounts of loans, which can take decades to pay off.
F. Many young people have other choices, like military service, work experience, community service or travel.
G. The transition from high school to college is an emotional challenge for almost everybody, especially if you move away from home.

You may have had grand plans about getting organized in college. And yet, despite your best intentions, your plans didn’t seem to get along. So just how can you stay organized for the long road ahead?
1. If you were totally devoted to making a difference, but it ended up not working well, don’t be too hard on yourself. That just means a particular system didn’t work for you, not that you’re bad at time management.
2.When you’re faced with anything connected with your college life duties —— from a cell phone bill to an email from your mom about when you’re coming home for Thanksgiving —— make yourself know what to do.
Spend a little time each week reorganizing. You’re in college because you’ve got a great brain.3.Just like a finely tuned athlete, your brain is learning, expanding, and strengthening each week you’re in school. Spend a few moments looking over what you have done, what you’re doing, and what you’ll need to do over the next few weeks.4.
Plan ahead to stay ahead. Everyone knows that student who always says “Oh, I cant do it now. I’ll finish it before the deadline.” won’t be able to finish the work.5.

Since many of you are planning to study at a college or university in the future, you may be carious to know what your future study will be like. This is the question I want to discuss with you today.
First, let’s talk about what your weekly timetable will look like. No matter what your major may be, you can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lecture. Lectures are usually in very large rooms because some courses such as Introduction to Sociology or Economics often have as many as two or three hundred students, especially at large universities. In lectures, it’s very important for you to take notes on what the professor says because the information in a lecture is often different from that in your textbooks. Also, you can expect to have exam questions based on the lectures. So it isn’t enough to just read your textbooks; you have to attend lectures as well. In a typical week, you will also have a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take. The discussion part is a small group meeting usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about the lectures, the reading, and the homework. In large universities, graduate students called teaching assistants, usually direct discussion parts
If your major is chemistry, or physics, or another science, you’ll also have to spend several hours a week in the lab doing experiments. This means that science majors spend more time in the classroom than non-science majors do. On the other hand, people who major in subjects like literature or history usually have to read and write more than science majors do.
1.Which of the following is important for students to do according to the passage?
A. Reading just the textbooks. B. Taking notes in lectures.
C. Spending 5 days attending lectures. D. Getting on well with classmates.
2.What is not included in a discussion part?
A. Working with the help of university professors.
B. Asking questions about a lecture.
C. Talking over what the students have read.
D. Discussing the problems about homework.
3.According to the author, What’s the characteristic of science majors?
A. They have to work harder than non-science majors.
B. They do more experiments than other majors.
C. They consider experiments more important than discussions.
D. They spend less time on their studies than non-science majors.
4.What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To help students learn about university study.
B. To persuade students to attend lectures.
C. To encourage students to take part in discussions.
D. To advise students to choose proper majors.

The first day of school, our professor introduced an old lady Rose to us.
“Why are you in college at such an age?” I asked her. She replied, “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” We became friends quickly.
At the end of the term I invited Rose to make a speech to our football team. I’ll never forget what she taught us. She said, “There are some secrets of staying young and being happy.

ORTOTROT? I heard that word while studying in Australia. It is a local language for “Are you ready (to go)?”. And at Sydney Airport, I asked the way to the train station and a man told me“Go ask that “bloke” over there.” “Bloke” is used in Australia and refers to a person. “Day” and “die” sound almost alike and since “a”, “i” and “o” all sound almost the same, I have always told my Australian friends, jokingly, that they only need 24 letters, and not 26 like the rest of us do.
Australian English began to be different from British English in 1788 and has many words that some consider unique (独特的) to the language, such as outback, meaning a remote, sparsely-populated (人口稀少的) area. Early settlers from England brought other similar words, phrases and usages to Australia. “Bonzer”, which was once a common Australian word meaning “great” or “beautiful”, is thought to have been an American term. The American influence on language in Australia has come from pop culture, the mass media (books, magazines and television programmes) and the Internet. Australian English is most similar to New Zealand English for their similar history.
Words of Irish origin are used, some of which are also common elsewhere in Irish, such as “tucker” for “food”. Some native English words whose meanings have changed under Irish influence, such as “paddock” for “field”, which has exactly the same meaning as the Australian “paddock”are still in use.
1.According to the passage, we know Australian English .
A. has special characters
B. is a kind of old language
C. is very difficult to learn
D. is the same as British English
2.Why did the writer tell his Australian friends they only need 24 letters?
A. Because Australians never use “a” or “i”.
B. Because Australians speak very easy English.
C. Because there are 3 letters having similar pronunciation.
D. Because there are some different ways to call the same thing.
3.Australian English is most similar to New Zealand English because .
A. they learn from each other
B. they have similar history
C. the two countries have the same political system
D. people from the two countries often travel to each other’s country
4.The American influence on Australian English comes from the following EXCEPT .
A. pop culture B. the Internet
C. computer software D. the mass media

Major retailers (零售商)are also taking steps to improve the safety of the hoverboards they sell. Amazon in the United States now only sells hoverboards from brands that have submitted safety standard documents. The UK’s Amazon no longer sells hoverboards.
