A study suggests that although most students at UK universities are happy with their courses, dissatisfaction has grown as fees riseThe study highlights a big variation in teaching time, and lists different ideas about the value of getting university degrees

Katharine Collins, a second-year college student

The course has been very interesting, but I was expecting a little more one-to-one time with my teacher

We do about four assignments (作业) each term, each of which is about 3,000 wordsHowever, sometimes they are not that helpfulWe hope to be given the right to write feedback (反馈) after every assignment, but we had no feedback at all throughout the first yearWe are given grades about three weeks after we hand the assignments inThere is no feedback on where we have gone wrong or how we might improve

????????????? Lee Millington, a creative-writing student

I choose the courses because of its reputationThere is a lack of one-to-one teachingI would like personalized feedback from an expert in my field of writingSome of the lectures have been quite helpful but they try to use too many different styles of writingFor example, if you want to be a poet, you might find that the lectures focus too much on novels

I think there is too much attention paid to sharing our work in workshops and giving each other feedbackI think there should be more time given to actual teaching, rather than to feedback from people who are at a similar level to me

????????????? Reporters from Hounsdown Secondary School, Ella, 16

When I work independently, I feel I have more freedom to develop my ideas and come up with more original viewpointsThe price of university will still be worth it to get the qualifications (资格证书) necessary for better jobs

    Crime (罪行) has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for five years from over 2 400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the season and crime patterns.

    The pattern (模式) of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high point during July and August, as do rape (强奸案) and other violent (猛烈的) attacks. Murder, besides, is more than seasonal: it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime: 62 percent of murders are committed between 6 p. m. and 6 a. m.

    Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary (抢劫) has a different cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6 p. m. and 2 a. m. on a Saturday night in December, January, or February. The most uncriminal month of all is May except for one strange statistic. More dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year.

    Obviously our intellectual (智力的) seasonal cycles are completely different from out criminal tendencies (倾向). Professor Huntington, of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, made careful studies to discover the seasons when people read serious books, attend scientific meetings, make the highest scores in examinations, and propose the most changes to patents (专利). In all instances, he found a spring peak (高峰) and an autumn peak separated by a summer low. On the other hand, Professor Huntington's studies show that June is the peak month for suicides (自杀) and admissions to mental hospitals. June is also a peak month for marriages!

    Possibly, high temperatures and high humidity (湿度) bring on our strange and terrifying summer actions, but police officials are not sure. “There is of course, no proof of a connection between humidity and murder,” they say. “Why murder's high time should come in the summertime we really don't know.”

(1) The main idea of paragraph 1 is ________.

[  ]

A.there is a link between changes in the seasons and crime patterns.

B.crime is not linked to the changes in season.

C.2400 towns were studied for five years.

D. the crime patterns have no connections with summer.

(2) The subject of paragraph 2 is ________.

[  ]

A.murder
B.summer crime
C.suicide
D.marriage

(3) In Paragraph 3 what is the one strange statistic (数据) of May?

[  ]

A.There are more robberies in May.

B.There are more dog bites in May.

C.There is the most crime in May.

D.There are most marriages in May.

(4) In paragraph 4, a graph for our intellectual cycles might look like this:

W = winter Sp = spring Su = summer A = autumn (见P93上图)

(5) The information in paragraph 5 says: ________.

[  ]

A.There may be a connection between murder and hot weather.

B.There is surely a connection between murder and hot weather.

C.There is no connection between murder and hot weather.

D.There must be a connection between cold weather and murder.

This trip is not only about pushing our limits,  17     about looking for adventure, said Nan. "It's also a testament to being adults, and part of a new generation of college students."

Now in Hainan, Nan's team is pedaling  18     in T-shirts and shorts, shedding some of the  19     they gained during the fall semester, and strengthening the bond of their friendships. Said Nan: "We now know each other more than we used to, even  20     months of living together."
