8．When you first arrive in Oxford，it may take a little while for you to find your way around．The university is a large organization that is fully integrated into the city and has been evolving for 800 years．Some of the first things our students do when they arrive include finding a bike （most students in Oxford find cycling is the best way to go around），setting up a bank account，getting their computer and mobile phone working，finding their department，getting to know their college and working out the best places to socialize．
　　One of the major events you will experience shortly after"coming up"to Oxford is matriculation．Matriculation is held at the University's Sheldonian Theatre and is the ceremony at which you are formally admitted to the university．
　　International students are invited to an orientation day at the start of the academic year．Sessions run throughout the day that will give you practical information about living and studying in UK and introduce you to other graduate students from all over the world who are starting their studies at Oxford at the same time as you，as well as to current Oxford graduate students and staff who will be able to help and advise you．The day covers topics such as studying and learning in the Oxford system，University services，information on living in Britain and culture differences，as well as addressing practical issues such as employment，immigration and visas，health and safety．You can choose which talks to attend and at the end of the day there is a social hour so you can meet fellow students．
　　Another good thing to experience early is college dining．Most colleges have a tradition of regular formal hall dinners，which consist of three or four courses，and the atmosphere of an evening out in a nice restaurant．On some of these occasions you can invite people around to your college for dinner and then they may return the favor．In this way，you can get to know people studying your own and other subjects at the same time as visiting many of the historical college grounds and dining halls．
Further information on your first few weeks at Oxford is available via the Students Gateway on our website，and you can get first-hand accounts of what life at Oxford is like by watching videos of students talking about their experiences on our Wall of 100 Faces．

19．Years old，I loved to go fishing with my dad．But the only thing that wasn′t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn't catch anything．I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why．He always answered，"Son，if you want to catch a fish，you have to think like a fish"，I remember being even more upset then because，"I'm not a fish!"I didn't know how to think like a fish．Besides，I reasoned，how could what I think influence what a fish does．
   As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant．So，I read some books on fish．And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings．I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature．That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer．Besides，water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade．Yet，fish don't have any eyelids（眼皮）and the sun hurts their eyes…The more I understood fish，the more I became effective at finding and catching them．
   When I grew up and entered the business world，I remember hearing my first boss say，"We all need to think like sales people．"But it didn't completely make sense．My dad never once said，"If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman．"What he said was，"You need to think like a fish．"Years later，with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me，I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers．It is not an easy job．I will show you how in the following chapters．

17．An American company has developed a car powered by electricity that travels at high speed like cars powered by traditional fuels．Company officials say the car is experimental and will not be sold to the public for a long while．Yet some experts have called the vehicle（交通工具） an important step toward the production of pollution-free automobiles （汽车）．The new car，called the Impact，was made by the General Motors company．Engineers say the Impact uses technology developed for the car that won the first international race for vehicles powered by sunlight．The Impact creat es no air pollution because its power comes from a large battery（电瓶）．It can travel at a speed of 88 kilometers an hour．Then the battery must be refueled with more electricity．The battery can be refueled in a few hours with electric current （电流） from a person's house．It must be replaced completely every two years．The Impact has two motors．Each powers one of the front wheels．Reports say the car makes almost no noise at low speed．It makes a small noise as it goes faster．The Impact has a top speed of 160 kilometers an hour and it can go from zero to 96 kilometers an hour in eight seconds．That is faster than most gas-powered cars．
The head of General Motors，Roger Smith，has not said how much the Impact might cost，but he says it would have to be competitive with other car prices．Mr Smith also says a few problems still remain．For example，the cost of operating the Impact today would be about twice that of other cars．Reports say the new electric car has raised hopes among environmental officials，especially in California．American car makers are hurrying to meet new air pollution laws in that state．General Motors says California would be the main market for the Impact．But the company says it would not produce the car at all unless people all over the United States wanted to buy it．Some company officials say the car could be in production within five years．
