are many cheap, comfortable and safe places to live.
You should always try to arrange your long-term accommodation before leaving home. Your school
should be able to help you with it. When you are accepted by a school, you will usually receive a package of
information including accommodation information. Complete the accommodation application form and return
it before the deadline (最后期限). If the school accommodation is not available, the accommodation advisory
(顾问的) office of your school can help you find private accommodation.
If you"re coming to the UK for the first time, accommodation provided by your school might be the most
suitable choice. This is a choice taken by more than half of the international students. There are plenty of
advantages of living in accommodation provided by the school: you can live close to where you are studying;
you will get to know other students easily; and most importantly, you will be living in a safer environment.
This kind of accommodation is also affordable: a room in a self-catering (自己做饭的) student apartment
usually costs from 180 to 360 pounds per month. To live in a place where meals are included you are expected
to pay from 320 to 400 pounds per month.
If you choose to rent accommodation in private houses, the choices are lodgings, private hostels (招待所)
and bedsits (卧室兼起居室). In a lodging, your landlord/landlady lives in the same house, possibly with his /
her family, and prepares meals for you. For hostel accommodation and lodgings where meals are included,
you can expect to pay from 300 to 400 pounds per month. For bedsit, you would pay from 200 to 380 pounds
per month.

| Is learning a foreign language ever easy? Yes. If you are five and move to another country, you will quickly pick up the language. But what about for the rest of us who are no longer five, and need to be polite when traveling for business or for pleasure? I think that answer is also yes. Language learning can be easy if you don"t want or need to learn too much. The key to successful language learning in my mind is not to set the goal too high. It is rather like running. Even if you run twice a week, you don"t necessarily want to be able to run a marathon. You might just want to maintain a level of fitness. I think the same can be true for language learning. Let"s get back to the goal. If you decide to learn ten words in a foreign language before visiting the country, you know that you will manage to do this. However, if you decide to attain conversational fluency, unless you are an exceptionally talented individual, you will probably fail and give up in disgust. It is also far easier to start learning a foreign language than to finish. In other words, the better you are, the slower it can be to improve, because you will get stuck with grammar, making sentences, learning less common words, etc. If you are only trying to learn a few foreign words and phrases, you will enjoy faster progress, have more fun, and won"t have to spend too much time. The idea of learning only a few hundred words in a language, and then stopping, isn"t the usual approach to language learning, but it can be a very rewarding and entertaining activity. | |||
| 1. In the writer"s opinion, it is easy for adults to learn English if _____. | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. they are especially talented individuals B. they don"t want or need to learn too much C. they have to spend a lot of time on it D. they have a chance to go abroad | |||
| 2. The writer intends to express that learning only a few hundred words in a language, and then stopping, _____. | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. is the usual method of learning a language B. is of no use for learning a language C. may cause a lot of mistakes while traveling D. can be rewarding and entertaining | |||
| 3. The writer believes that if you want to be good at a foreign language, you will probably _____. | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. forget your own goals B. become a gifted language learner C. get tired of learning it D. reach your learning goal in advance | |||
| 4. The best title of this passage would be _____. | |||

| People with less education suffer fewer stressful days, according to a report in the current issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior. However, the study also found that when less-educated people did suffer stress it was more severe and had a stronger effect on their health. From this, researchers have concluded that the day-to-day factors that cause stress are regular. Where you are in society determines the kinds of problems that you have each day, and how well you will cope with them. The research team interviewed a national sample of 1, 031 adults daily for eight days about their stress level and health. People without a high school diploma reported stress on 30 percent of the study days, people with a high school degree reported stress 38 percent of the time, and people with college degrees reported stress 44 percent of the time. "Less advantaged people are less healthy on a daily basis and are more likely to have downward turns in their health." leading researcher, Dr. Joseph Grzywacz of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, said in a prepared statement."The downward turns in health were connected with daily stressors (紧张刺激物), and the effect of daily stressors on their health is much more damaging for the less advantaged." "If something happens every day, maybe it"s not seen as a stressor." Grzywacz says. "Maybe it is just life." | |||
| 1. Stress level is closely related to ______. | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. family size B. social position C. body weight D. work experience | |||
| 2. Which group reported the biggest number of stressful days? | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. People without any education. B. People without high school degrees. C. People with high school degrees. D. People with college degrees. | |||
| 3. The less advantaged people are, the greater ______. | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. the effect of stress on their health is B. the effect of education on their health is C. the level of their education is D. the degree of their health concern is | |||
| 4. Less-educated people report fewer days of stress possibly because ______. | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. they don"t want to tell truth B. they don"t want to face the truth C. stress is too common a factor in their life D. their stress is much greater | |||

| When students think of learning a foreign language, the first thought is of books, exercises, and audio cassettes. Those are important to learning but sometimes a little bit boring. Therefore, it is time for us to spice things up a bit. Things like a cellphone can keep your interest level high. It"s a perfect study material. You have it with you day after day, you are familiar with how it works and you can use it to practice whenever you have time. You don"t need to have your books by your side or stay in your room to listen to tapes. Let"s take a look at how to add your cellphone to your study tools. Set up your cellphone to use the language you want to study. Go to the menu, find settings, locate language and change it to English or Spanish, which benefits your language learning. Look at the buttons and connect those items with the new vocabulary. This enables you to master simple words and phrases with little effort. For example, each time you open up your cellphone you"ll see "messages", "games" and "calls made". These words begin to take root if you see them again and again. When you have time, take out your cellphone and start hitting buttons. You"ll be surprised at all the vocabulary you can learn by playing with the different menu items. Some things you"ll recognize immediately and others you can guess just by where you find them. It can keep your learning fresh and interesting. And that"s important because boredom is a big problem with language learners. You need variety and a cellphone is one way to get it. | |||
