Beginning college is exciting: new ideas to explore, new challenges to be met and many decisions to be made.Your future begins here.

However, you will find college life is different from your previous school environment.Many of us can be easily overwhelmed(压垮)by the details of running a well-balanced life.While some of us may have the know-how, I guess there are more of us who can benefit from learning about the experiences of others who have walked the college halls before you.

The following you may find of use about life on campus.

●Plan well.There are so many new things to do at a new college or university.Give yourself time to make new friends and become familiar with the campus, but don’t forget why you are there.Give some time for social activities and manage your time wisely.

●If you don’t have a “system” for planning your time now (like a day timer, a computer date book), get one.Most of all, don’t depend on your memory.

●Don’t miss the guidelines.The restrictions, rules and regulations of all kinds can usually be found in your student handbook.Consider them well-balanced food for thought.What dates are important? What pieces of paper need to be handed in? What can/ can’t you do in class? What can/ can’t you do in your student residence(住处)? Who has right for what? What do you need to complete to graduate?

●Write the word “STUDY” on the walls of our bedroom and bathroom, and maybe it will help to write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the telephone, TV and the kitchen table.Consider this—you are paying thousands of dollars for your courses.You pay every time you have to repeat or replace a course.

Friendship can deeply affect the physical and mental health of both men and women. Studies show that people who have no friends or who are lonely, are more likely to die earlier, get sick more often and suffer greater physical wear and tear(折磨)than those who have a support system of friends.

Sometimes, family members may be more likely to give you advice or tell you what you don’t want to hear. It may not be as good as a friend who will listen to you and guide you, but support your decisions anyway. The most important elements about friendship are those who suffer support and do not judge your decisions based on society.

One reason for the link between social support and good health practice seems to be that people who feel cared for by others are less stress-out and are protected against the symptoms(症状)of depression and loneliness.

Generally, women benefit most because of how they deal with stress. Women are more social in how they deal with stress than men, while men are more likely to have a “fight or flight” reaction. Women also tend to have larger, denser social network, in which more people know each other and help each other, while men typically have smaller groups of friends and will rely on their wives or other important people for more support. While all these affect people psychologically(心理上), friendship brings comfort that reduces the ill effects of stress, and the sex difference also contributes to the difference in the length of one’s life time.

In the author’s opinion, a real friend should _________.

       A.tell you what to do even if you refuse to hear it.

     B.try to persuade you to change your mind quickly.

     C.judge your decision according to his/her experience.

     D.give you advice but respect your own decision.

Women benefit more from friendship than men because _________.

      A.women are always cared for by more people than men.

      B.women are usually less stress-out when staying with others.

      C.women are more likely to solve problems with friends’ help

      D.women can always keep more long-life friendship than men

According to the passage we can infer that _______.

      A.it’s good for women to tell men what they should do or not

      B.friends are always more important than family members

      C.men don’t want to share their problems with many people

      D.the trend that women can live longer makes them more relaxed

This passage mainly talks about _________.

      A.why people should develop friendship

      B.when friendship affects people’s health

      C.people’s different attitudes towards friendship

      D.the friendship which can make people live longer
