5．"Confidence"is probably one of the most noticeable quality in the Americans．They show confidence in the way they talk，the way they smile，the way they dress and the way they walk．Living and competing with all these confident American students，I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and teacher．As a student，being confident means you should dare to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind．Don't mind if it sounds simple or silly．Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all．What's worse，the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the topic---this is the last comment any graduate would not like to receive．Being confidence for me as a foreign teacher means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it．Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourself uneasiness or even shame．But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their Speeches．（The course I'm teaching here is Public Speaking．） Modesty（谦虚） is a quality highly valued in China，but it won't be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program．
60．What should we do most if we want to compete with American students？A
A．Be quite confident．B．Be polite and friendly．

4．The fact that people are no longer tied to specific places for functions such as studying or learning，says William Mitchell，a professor of architecture and computer science at MIT，means that there is"a huge drop in demand for traditional，（51）C，enclosed spaces"such as offices or classrooms，and simultaneously"a huge rise in demand for semi-public spaces that can be informally appropriated to ad-hoc workspaces"．This shift，he thinks，amounts to the biggest change in （52）Bin this century．In the 20th century architecture was about （53）Astructures-offices for working，cafeterias for eating，and so forth．This was necessary because workers needed to be near things such as landline phones，fax machines and filing cabinets．
