● To save time and money, use the college’s bus system. Taking the bus to school is quick, easy and free in most college towns. You won’t have to locate or afford a place to park either. It’s also a good way to be environmentally aware.
● Save pennies on books by waiting until class starts. You might not even need all of the recommended books. New textbooks cost an arm and a leg. Try buying used textbooks — it’s a surefire way to save money and serves the purpose as well.
● Do never look at college life as an endless series of parties and social activities. But there is a whole lot more to college if you’re serious about graduating. Having a good college experience is all about balancing work and fun.
● Be aware that your living environment can largely affect your academic success. If the dorm doesn’t suit you, consider living at home with your family or renting your own apartment. The best location for your studies isn’t always your dorm. Find a quiet area, like the library, to do your work. Alternatively, buy some headphones that block out noise.
● Be mindful of your diet. Make healthy food choices and watch what you eat. Avoid foods that are processed or high in sugar. The “freshman 15” is real. Many college students gain at least 15 pounds during their freshmen year.
● While electives (选修课) can be helpful when figuring out your major, you shouldn’t entirely rely on them. Clubs and other organizations exist around. Get involved. Make sure, though, that you still have time to study. Having too much on your plate can hurt your grades.

Scientists played a selection of music to a group of South American cotton-top monkeys but the only sound that got a reaction were from the heavy metal band Metallica. They were seemingly disinterested in Led Zeppelin, Miles Davis and Bach, but after the beautiful sound of Master of Puppets by Metallica was played the monkeys calmed down.
"Monkeys interpret rising and falling sounds differently than humans. Oddly, their only response to several samples of human music was a calming response to the heavy-metal band Metallica," said Professor Charles Snowdon, from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Rather than making them excited or aggressive, the heavy metal tracks had a comforting effect. Dr Snowdon, who teamed up with National Symphony Orchestra musican David Teie, also played the monkeys music composed specifically for them. Although they enjoyed Metallica, they were much more interested in these pieces.
A melody(乐曲) based on the short calls of scared monkeys led to anxiety levels rapidly growing, researchers found, while one based on long calls the creatures make when they are happy had a calming effect.
Frans B.M. de Waal, a professor of psychology at Emory University who studies animals, said the findings appear to say more about how monkeys respond to the sounds they make than they do about music or the evolution of music.
Dr Snowdon no longer has a monkey colony to use in his research, but he said his co-author David Teie is exploring the concept of music for cats.
"If we understand how we can affect their emotional states through using musical sound and aspects of our speech, maybe those of us living with companion animals can have a better relationship with them, too," Snowdon said.
小题1:The research mentioned in the passage is mainly about ______.
A.the change of music over time | B.animals’ response to music |
C.special music for animals | D.the origin of music |
A.looked anxious | B.became restless |
C.felt at ease | D.made long calls |
A.of Led Zeppelin | B.of Miles Davis |
C.of Metallica | D.specially composed for them |
A.build better ties between animals and humans |
B.compare monkeys and cats in term of music |
C.develop new music based on animals’ calls |
D.find better ways to keep animals under control |
This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the willpower to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.
Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality qualities, and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids’ best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way.
I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids’ ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being personal and unique (独特的). It makes us free and happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live their own life.
小题1:Time and again the author got his son seated in order to make him ______.
A.work fast | B.go polite | C.stay relaxed | D.keep attentive |
A.his son’s doing better while standing up |
B.his failure in keeping his son under control |
C.his own experience as a school boy |
D.his disappointment with his active child |
A.correct their kids’ manners from the early ages |
B.respect and trust their kids’ ways of behaviors |
C.develop a good relationship with their children |
D.guarantee their children’s freedom at home |
A.Parental help with teens’ study |
B.Adult influence on teen growth |
C.Kids’ success in their own styles |
D.Friendship between generations |
Having just quit a highly moneymaking job with tech giant Microsoft in the United States,where he’d made millions working as a program manager,Patrick Awuah would wake up once in a while wondering if he’d done the right thing.
What Awuah wanted was to create a university in his native Ghana.a state-of-the-art education centre that would help educate the country’s next generation of leaders.Awuah moved with his family back to Ghana.There,he invested his own money and with the help of other donors he founded Ashesi University.
“Africa needs to have a renaissance(复兴),” says Awuah as he explained what drove him to take the risky decision.“The world needs to change in this way and I strongly believe that people like me need to be part of the solution;I need to be really actively involved in helping to drive this change in Africa‘‘
Located about an hour"s drive from the capital Accra,Ashesi,which appropriately translates to “beginning,” is the first Ghanaian university to combine technical majors with a liberal arts approach.Its campus,set on 100 acres in a town called Berekuso,was designed to be inspiring for the more than 500 young Ghanaians studying there.
“So when I look at universities I see Africa fast—forward 30 years.When this 20-year-old is now in his or her 50s,that person is going to be a leader.”
Today Ashesi,which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year,offers degrees in business,information systems and computer science.There are plans to offer engineering and economics majors in the near future.The school’s graduation rate is between 70%and 90%,according to Awuah.
In our last freshman class,50% of the students paid full tuition(学费),25%were on full scholarships and 25%on partial scholarships ,”he said.“The reason why variety is so important is that the most important conversation on campus is a conversation about the good society—what is the good society we would like to see in Africa? That conversation is a lot more interesting if you have variety in the classroom,”adds Awuah.
小题1:In Awuah’s opinion,Africa should be changed by
A.investing more money for development |
B.developing computer science |
C.training future leaders for development |
D.founding more universities |
A.Awuah regretted that he had once worked with Microsoft |
B.Awuah would doubt if he should resign from Microsoft |
C.Awuah wondered whether it was right to invest for a university |
D.Awuah felt it wrong that he had refused a job with a large salary |
A.came into being 10 years ago | B.was named with “beginning” |
C.is located in the capital of Ghan | D.will be run for 30 years |
A.Ashesi has offered five degrees since it was founded. |
B.Awuah had earned millions of dollars before he left Microsoft. |
C.50% of the new students in Ashesi receive education for free. |
D.Awuah was the only investor in setting up Ashesi University. |
Pupils remember more and behave better when 3D images are used in lessons,research suggests.They are quicker to learn and absorb new concepts,and display higher levels of concentration.
Professor Anne Bamford,of the University of the Arts,London, studied the effectiveness of 3D content in 15 schools across seven countries,including the UK.Pupils in 3D classes can remember more than those in the 2D classes after four weeks,improving test scores by an average of 1 7 percent compared with eight percent for 2D lessons.They gave more detailed answer to the tasks and were more likely to think in 3D, using hand gestures and mime(模仿动作) to answer the test questions successfully.
The teachers commented that the pupils in the 3D groups had deeper understanding,increased attention span.more motivation and higher engagement in the lessons.
Children are used to 3D with the rise of computer games that use the technology—90 percent of those in the study had seen a 3D film.Schools would need 3D—enabled projectors(投影仪),laptops with good picture capabilities,3D software and glasses for children to introduce animations(动作) into classrooms.
But Danny Nicholson,an educationist,said the technology would be impractical to use in schools and could be costly.He said,“While I think the idea of 3D technology is very interesting, I worry that 3D is a bit of an expensive gimmick(小玩意儿).There are a few cases where a true 3D image might help,but most of the time,good 2D models that can be moved would be just as effective.”
In the US,one school district in Colorado is already in the process of having 1.000 3D projectors fixed in classrooms.And the University of Caledonia.which carries out scientific research into the Lake Tabon Basin.has used 3D presentations with Grade Six pupils.Those who watched the 3D presentations were more engrossed and reported a general increase in their interest in science compared with students who watched the 2D version.
小题1:What is the main idea of the first three paragraphs?
A.There are slight differences between 3D and 2D images. |
B.Pupils perform better when 3D images are used in classes. |
C.Schools have difficulties in making full use of 3D technology. |
D.3D technology is always more effective than 2D technology. |
A.is of no help in classes |
B.has a bright future in classes |
C.is more practical than 2D models |
D.may not be affordable for schools |
A.3D technology will replace 2D models in the future. |
B.Many pupils are now more Interested In science than before. |
C.Teachers will use the 3D technology through specific training. |
D.3D will soon be put into use in one school district in Colorado. |

C.relaxed | D.confused |
Scientists are claiming that they have now separated unusual ingredients in a rare seaweed discovered by fishermen off the coast of Korea that offer incredible health benefits—including the ability to restore blood pressure to normal levels.
Dr. Haengwoo Lee, a famous biochemist conducted a clinical study on these two ingredients. The first is Seanol, an extremely rare seaweed extract(浓缩物) from Ecklonia Cava that"s proven to be 100 times more powerful than any land-based antioxidant(抗氧化剂). That"s because it stays working in your body for 12 hours, compared to land-based antioxidants that work for 30 minutes. "Its secret is its make-up of special chemicals that are a huge 40% fat soluble( 可溶的)," Dr. Lee explains. "Unlike nearly all land-based antioxidants that are water soluble, Seanol"s protective compounds can get into things like the fatty tissues of your brain and penetrate(渗透) all three layers of your cells, including the outside, the oil-based cell membranes(细胞膜), and your DNA." Indeed, Seanol is so powerful, it"s the only FDA-approved Ecklonia Cava marine-algae (海藻) extract in existence.
The second ingredient is Calamarine, a deep-sea omega-3 discovery that delivers 85% more DHA omega-3s to your heart, brain, joints, and eyes. It"s known to reduce the problems from tiredness and poor memory, joint pain, mood swings and depression.
With that research in mind, Dr. Lee combined Seanol and Calamarine with a high dose of vitamin D to form Marine-D3, the newest supplement in the fight against age-related illnesses and high blood pressure.
Dr. Lee found that Calamarine delivers some of the greatest concentration of omega-3s known to science. Combined with Seanol"s ability to reduce body inflammation(炎症), as well as help cells get the nutrients they need to thrive, stay healthy and protected, Marine-D3 is able to boost a body"s entire well being.
The makers of Marine-D3 are so confident that you"ll see fast dramatic results from this product, that if you aren"t happy after two full months, simply return the unused portion and they"ll buy it back. They"ll even give you ten dollars extra just for giving it an honest try! That kind of faith, combined with Dr. Lee"s exhaustive research, shows that Marine-D3 really is a one-of-a-kind product.
