Freshmen anywhere may be nervous about university life.Here, three pieces of advice are for them.

Listen but don't be silent

The world is held in students’ hand via smart phones. Thus, they may consider lecture listening less important. 1. It forces students to face the difficulties of training a deep attentiveness. Unsurprisingly, students find it hard to speak out, ask questions or for points of clarification. They don't want to appear foolish or incapable. However, there is no such thing as a foolish question. Teachers are there to help you understand. This also goes for seminars and workshops. 2.

Read and buy books

3. There're so many useful online sources today, but the habit of reading books, especially whole books, is something being lost. Buy your own books.There are many bargains to be found on used-book websites or through Amazon. Being a book lover and buyer will help any student get the most out of their education.

4.

As a student, you don't just have to learn to listen and become an active reader: you also have to become an academic writer. Written work at college level cannot be done at the last minute or in a rush. It takes time. Turn to your teachers. If they will read draft essays then make sure you can get feedback(反馈) ahead of the final submission. 5.

Students who get feedback on their work always do better than those who do not. It is one of the few educational laws that holds true in all cases.

A. Don't try to do it all the night before.

B. However, a lecture is a listening workout.

C. Thinking clearly cannot be done in a rush.

D. So train your ear, listen carefully, but don't be silent.

E. Reading is the most important thing that any student does.

F. Re-writing has proved to be the turning point in one's degree.

G. If they won't read drafts, then see them to run through your ideas.

The dream of my travel was to be Paris,the city I'd always longed to see. But now I was frightened to travel without a companion.I steeled myself and went anyway.I arrived at the train station in Paris panicked.Pulling my red suitcase behind me,I was pushed by sweaty travelers. On my first Metro ride, I encountered a clumsy pickpocket.I melted him with a look,and he eased his hand from my purse to fade into the crowded car. At my stop,I carried my heavy suitcase up the steep stairs and froze in confusion.Somewhere in this confusing city my hotel was hidden,but suddenly I couldn’t read my own directions.I stopped two people.Both greeted me with that Parisian face that said:"Yes, I speak English,but you'll have to struggle with your French if you want to talk to me."

When I finally found the hotel,my heart was pounding. Then when I saw my room, I couldn't stay.Could I? The wallpaper looked like it had been through a fire.The bathroom was down the hall,and the window looked out onto the brick wall of another building.Welcome to Paris.It was my third week away from home and my kids,and I had arrived in the most romantic city in the world, alone, lonely and very scared.

The most important thing I did in Paris happened at that moment. I knew that if I didn't go out,right then,and find a place to have dinner,I would hide in this place my entire time in Paris. I might never learn to enjoy the world as a single individual.So I went out.Evening in Paris was light and warm.I strolled along a winding path,listening to birds sing,watching children float toy sailboats in a huge fountain.Paris was beautiful.And I was here alone but suddenly not lonely.My sense of accomplishment at overcoming my fear had left me feeling free,not abandoned.

During my week's stay in Paris, I did everything there was to do,and it was the greatest week of my European vacation.I returned home a believer in the healing power of solitary travel.Traveling alone makes up for its problems by demanding self-reliance and building the kind of confidence that serves the single life well.Certainly Paris became my metaphor(比喻说法)for addressing life's challenges on my own.Now when I meet an obstacle I just say to myself: If I can go to Paris,I can go anywhere.

If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.

Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to(料理), and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.

The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card(住宿登记卡) to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.

The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate(价钱). From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly(相应地).

With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.

In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?

1.While taking a taxi in Finland, ________.

A. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driver

B. a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi ride

C. a passenger can never be refused by the taxi driver wherever he wants to go

D. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration (证明) before leaving without paying

2.We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland ________.

A. are mostly poorly managed

B. provide meals for any diners

C. provide free wine and charge for food

D. provide meal for only those who live in the hotels

3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The workers in Finland are paid by the hour.

B. The workers are always honest with their working hours.

C. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.

D. The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.

4.The word “those” in the last but one paragraph probably refers to ________.

A. people who are dishonest

B. people who often have meals in big hotels

C. people who often take taxis

D. people who are worthy of trust
