Starting college is a difficult transition for many students. Here are some ways to make the transition a little bit easier.

Get involved. By joining a team, you not only get to meet older students who can help you get through the transition, you also make friends quickly and have things to do. One of the huge differences from high school to college is the amount of free time you have.1.

Have an open mind. Especially if you are going to a bigger school, it’s important to have an open mind. 2. Yet when you get to college, there are people from all over that have different views on things and act in a different way.

Stay focused. 3. . It is so easy to get caught up in your social life and forget about the academics. Remain focused on your schoolwork and figure out what you want to study, but be sure to have time for social activities as well.

4. Take care of your body. Being away from home and no longer having parents looking after you doesn’t mean you have to throw away all the things you learned about staying healthy. Eat healthily and play sports as you did in high school to stay in shape.

Again, the transition from high school to college can be extremely challenging.5. By following some of these tips, hopefully your transition will be a little smoother and you will get the most out of your freshman year in college!

A.Enjoy the sports.

B.Work to stay healthy.

C.When you are healthy, you feel better.

D.It may not come as easy to you as it does for some students.

E.How you decide to use it determines how well you do in school.

F.You may be used to the people from your town and your high school.

G.The main thing to remember when starting college is what you are actually there for.

I was doing a big clean-up recently and my kids were helping when my son, Freddo, came across a knotted handkerchief with an old dark brown coin inside. “Mum, can I have this? Can I play with this Coin?” he asked I took one look and was immediately transported to another time.

In 1991, there was a time when my friend and I worked in a backward African country, Niger, hit by sandstorms and burning heat. There were many things I found difficult about this place—the climate and beggars were my biggest headaches. So after finishing five months of nursing work there, we moved on to work at a health clinic in neighbouring country, Burkina Faso. “It's much greener in Burkina. Even the Coke tastes better,” the locals assured us.

Yet the fact was quite the opposite. Arriving by taxi at our destination in Burkina, we began to unload. I was reaching for my larger piece of luggage when, out of the darkness, a motorbike with two men approached slowly. Without warning, one of the men grabbed my daypack as the motorbike swept close by. Within seconds, the pair were out of sight, swallowed up by the night.

With my passport, money, traveller's cheques all in the bag, I was in deep trouble. How frustrating! All I wanted was to leave this hellhole! Then, walking through Burkina's streets one day, I was stopped by an old woman who thrust her hand in my face. “Cadeau (‘gift’ in French)! Cadeau!”she cried. I'd had enough! I was extremely tired of the country: its poverty, its thieves, the heat, the dust and...everything! I told her angrily and firmly in French, “I have no ‘cadeau’. I have no money. A thief stole all my money two weeks ago and now I can't get out of your country. I cannot give you anything. NOTHING!”The beggar woman listened attentively. To my great surprise, after hearing my words, she gave a broad smile.

Throughout your life you will have many different kinds of relationships. Some relationships are casual and some are close. Strong, close relationships are fulfilling(有意义的). Most people need at least a few relationships of this type.

Ben liked to tell this story about his good friend Isaac: “Once after a big storm, tree branches were all over the yard, which meant I had a full morning of work. Then Isaac came, saying that since I had offered to drive us to the football game that afternoon, he wanted to save me the trouble of picking him up. He was three hours early, however, and he ‘just happened’ to have a rake(耙子) and heavy work gloves with him.”

Isaac showed he understood a basic principle of strong relationships: both sides give as well as receive, otherwise the relationship is unlikely to last.

In strong relationships, giving and getting are united. You feel worthy as a person when you have something to give. When you receive, you give thanks and show appreciation. The cycle of giving and receiving is on going.

One way to help keep relationships strong is to give a word of thanks to anyone who helps you. People can feel hurt if their help isn't acknowledged. For example, Amrit was growing frustrated because Curtis kept calling for help with his homework. So one day when Curtis called, he even thought about telling his brother to say that he wasn't at home. He was glad he didn't. Curtis had called to say how well he had done in his test and to thank Amrit for his help. Saying those two simple words-“Thank you”-can carry a relationship through rough times.

1.What's the author's purpose of mentioning Ben's good friend, Isaac’s story?

A. To explain strong relationships are based on both sides' giving and receiving.

B. To convince the readers that Isaac is one of Ben's trustworthy friends

C. To show that Ben owns the strongest relationship with Isaac.

D. To show what a close relationship can bring to both sides.

2.What does the underlined phrase “on going” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. Getting around. B. Continuous.

C. Moving forward. D. Unavoidable.

3.The passage mainly tells us ________.

A. some examples of giving and receiving

B. people need different types of relationships

C. how to build and keep strong relationships through giving and receiving

D. one should remember to give thanks to others from time to time

Twelve years ago, Danny called me from a dark, damp subway station. “A baby!” he shouted. “Get down here, and flag down a police car or something.” By nature, Danny is a remarkably calm person, so when I felt his heart pounding through the phone line, I ran.

When I got to the subway station, Danny was holding a light-brown-skinned baby, about a day old. The baby had been wrapped in an oversize black sweatshirt and left on the ground in a corner behind the gate.

What neither of us knew, or could have predicted, was that Danny had not just saved an abandoned infant; he had found our son.

Three months later, Danny appeared in family court to give an account of finding the baby. Suddenly, the judge asked, “Would you be interested in adopting this baby?” The question surprised everyone in the courtroom, except Danny, who answered, simply, “Yes.”

“But I know it’s not that easy,” he said.

“Well, it can be,” assured the judge before barking out orders to allow me to be a parent-to-be.

My first reaction, when I heard, went something like, “Are you crazy? How could you say yes without consulting me?”

In three years as a couple, we had never discussed adopting a child. I was an ambitious playwright working as a part-time word processor. Danny was a respected yet wildly underpaid social worker. We had a roommate, who slept in our living room, to help pay the rent.

We knew how many challenges couples usually faced when they wanted to adopt. And while Danny had patience and selflessness, I didn’t know how to change a diaper (尿布), let alone nurse a child. I didn’t trust the system and was sure there would be obstacles. Also, I couldn’t handle parenthood. So I promised myself I wouldn’t get attached.

The caretaker held him and then placed him in my arms. But when the baby stared up at me, with all the innocence and hope he represented, I, like Danny, was completely hooked.

1.Why did the author rush to the subway station?

A. Because Danny finally found their lost son.

B. Because she sensed Danny met something urgent.

C. Because Danny had a heart attack.

D. Because someone gave birth to a baby there.

2.How did the author react on hearing Danny’s answer to the judge’s question?

A. Surprised by the question.

B. Crazy to be a parent-to-be.

C. Annoyed at Danny’s decision.

D. Angry at challenging her authority.

3.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.

A. the author will adopt the baby

B. the couple were tempted to take the baby

C. the baby will bring hope to the family

D. the couple love each other very much

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A. To introduce a story of a poor family.

B. To inform people of the difficulty of adopting a baby.

C. To call on people to donate money to them.

D. To show human’s kindness and love by nature.

1.When a person does a certain thing again, he is impelled(迫使) by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly; thus a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. 2.Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits, and sometimes become ruined by them.3.Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and thoroughness（工作缜密）. Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on.4. Unfortunately older persons often form habits which ought to have been avoided5.

A.There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help.

B. Whether good or not habits are, they are easy to get rid of.

C. We ought to keep away from all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will prove good for ourselves and others.

D. Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed.

E. It is very important for us to know why we should get used to good habits.

F. These are all easily formed habits.

G. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits.
