As we all know, Professor Li has a special way of planting trees.

¡¾´ð°¸¡¿

As we all know, professor Li has a special way of planting trees. He doesn¡¯t take too much care of his trees, just letting them survive and grow in the bad environment freely.

I thorough agree with what professor does. The trees could have strong perseverance to survive by themselves. As long as they have their survival ability, they will grow healthy.

Today under the system of the birth control in our country, every family has only one child. So parents do everything they could to meet their children¡¯s needs. However, all parents do is not help their children but to destroy them.

If I were a parent, I would make my child do more hard work and experience a variety of sufferings and hardships as much as possible. I would also teach my child to undertake the responsibilities of the family and society.

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿For this part of ¡°Tips for Applying to US Colleges¡± we visited Shenandoah University in the US state of Virginia. It is a private institution with about 4,000 students from 55 countries. We asked them some of questions about adapting to American culture and writing admissions essays.

A. How can I succeed in applying to American colleges?

B. What advice do you have for writing an admission essay?

C. Why should I study abroad?

D. What are some difficulties students have adapting to US culture?

E. What about religious life on campus?

F. What are some academic difficulties foreign students face?

¡¾1¡¿_______________

I think everyone should travel and live and work and study abroad. I think it¡¯s great for a lot of reasons. One¡ªof course you¡¯re going to learn something about other people. And that¡¯s good, we should know about other people because we live in what is called a ¡°globalized world.¡± More importantly, you¡¯re going to learn something about yourself. You¡¯re going to learn about how strong you really are. You¡¯re going to learn that you have capabilities that you never knew you had. When you¡¯re in another place and maybe you don¡¯t even speak the language very well, you¡¯re gonna find that you still figure a way to communicate. Maybe you can do something even bigger and even more, a little more challenging.

¡¾2¡¿_______________

Students often misunderstand policies that we have here. And I think sometimes that can get students into trouble. I think we have had some issues with students who have worked a little too closely together for our professors¡¯ level, and so that has created some challenges at times for those students. In terms of that, kind of, power structure between a professor and a student here, I would say our environment, our culture here at Shenandoah, there¡¯s not a whole lot of that. I mean it¡¯s very much of an environment where that sort-of barrier between professor and student is a little less than what it might be the case at other institutions. So that part of it is not as much of an issue.

¡¾3¡¿_______________

I would say the important thing is to also be authentic. Be yourself. Most students are reading a lot of essays and after a while they start to kind of sound the same. And so you want to give that person the curiosity to know you. And you¡¯re special. You¡¯re different than everybody else that¡¯s applying. So, I think if you can try your best. Of course, there are things you think, ¡°I need to say these things because that¡¯s what they want to hear.¡± Certainly if there are topics that they are asking you to respond to, you want to do that. But, to try as much as you can to give the person who¡¯s reading your essay an idea of who you are and what makes you unique. I think that would be my main advice.

¡¾4¡¿______________

We are open to all religions, of all backgrounds. I mean we have a Catholic campus ministry, we have a Muslim student association, and we have a Jewish student association. We really do aim to be inclusive of all students regardless of their religious beliefs. Students certainly feel included, they certainly feel comfortable being here, you know, they¡¯re¡ªregardless of whatever their religious beliefs might be and even if that¡¯s¡ªeven if they don¡¯t have any religious beliefs. We certainly have students who are that way too.

¡¾5¡¿_______________

A lot of it breaks down to different communication styles. Some are what we would call ¡°high context cultures.¡± It means that you shouldn¡¯t have to say what the problems is. Some cultures like American culture is very low context. We expect you say exactly what you mean. And if you didn¡¯t say it, we probably don¡¯t know it¡¯s a problem. So sometime we¡ªI have seen some students maybe have some roommate issues because the international student is upset with something and they assume the roommate must know that they¡¯re upset. But the roommate¡ªthe American roommate¡ªmaybe doesn¡¯t even know that it¡¯s a problem. And one of the things I would caution new international students is that it's kind of an American way to be very open and friendly with everyone.

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿If your family is thinking of getting a pet, consider adopting from an animal shelter. Animal shelters are full of dogs, cats, rabbits, and more animals, all in need of loving homes. Some may come with emotional or behavioral issues, but most are happy, healthy, and ready for a loving home. Here are some tips for you to find great animals.

Make some decision.

Think about what you want in a pet and remember that all pets have different personalities. Cats tend to be more independent and need less affection, but kittens need lots of attention. Cats don¡¯t need to be walked , but you need to clip their nails and play with them. Dogs need to be walked at the very least twice a day. However , they are usually great companions and love to spend time with their family.

Visit the shelter.

Set aside at least a few hours to visit shelters in your area¡ªremember that you may need to visit more than one visit. Try to bring along everyone who will be living with a new pet. Ask the shelter staff lots of questions. And never adopt an animal because you feel sorry for it¡ªbe patient so you find a pet who is truly a good match for your family.

Get everything ready.

Buy all necessary supplies and food well before the animal comes home. Make sure that the entire household is in agreement about rules and responsibilities¡ªwill the dog be allowed on the couch? Who will clean the litter box? Put it in writing before the pet arrives.

Bring your new friend home !

You¡¯ll probably be excited when your new pet arrives, but be sure to give them space and time to get adjusted to a new home and a new family. The pet may act differently once they leave the shelter. Interact£¨½»Á÷£©with your pet a lot and get them used to a routine, and soon you¡¯ll be one big happy family !

¡¾1¡¿Which of the following is the first important factor should be considered when adopting a pet?

A. Think twice about the adoption.

B. Get detailed information about the pets.

C. Make full preparations for the coming pet.

D. Try to make the pet your family member.

¡¾2¡¿According to the article, which of the following statements is true?

A. Both cats and dogs need walking and attention.

B. Both cats and dogs are human¡¯s good partners.

C. All the animals in the shelter are in good condition.

D. It¡¯s necessary to talk a lot with your new pets every day.

¡¾3¡¿Before a new pet comes home, we¡¯d better ______.

A. show concern for the animals

B. set down an agreement on paper

C. bring all the members to visit the shelter

D. get it adjusted to a new environment immediately

¡¾4¡¿The article is intended for ______.

A. animal shelters B. shelter staff

C. pet lovers D. pet protectors

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿A new study from Harvard University revealed that the message parents mean to send to children about the value of sympathy(ͬÇéÐÄ£© is being mistaken by the message they actually send. In fact they value achievement and happiness above all else.

The Making Caring Common Project at Harvard¡¯s Graduate School of Education surveyed 10,000 middle and high school students about which is more important to them¡ªachievement, happiness, or caring about others. Almost 80 percent of students placed achievement or happiness over caring about others. Only 20 percent of students considered caring about others as their top aim.

In the study ¡°The Children We Mean to Raise: The Real Message Adults Are Sending about Values¡±, the authors refer to a reality gap, an incongruity (²»Ò»ÖÂ) between what adults tell children they should value and the message we grown-ups actually send through our behavior.

Simply talking about sympathy is not enough. While 96 percent of parents say they want to raise caring children, and cite the development of moral character as ¡°very important, if not essential¡±, 80 percent of the youths surveyed reported that their parents ¡°are more concerned about achievement and happiness than caring about others¡±. Approximately the same percentage of the students reported that their teachers put their achievement over caring.

As the report shows, simply talking about sympathy is not enough. Children are sensitive creatures, fully capable of telling the true meanings in the blank spaces between well-organised words. If parents really want to let their kids know that they value care and sympathy, the authors suggest, they must make a real effort to help their children learn to care about other people¡ªeven when it¡¯s hard, even when it does not make them happy, and yes, even when it is at odds with their personal success.

¡¾1¡¿The first paragraph suggests that parents _____.

A. value achievement less

B. fail to make students realize the importance of sympathy

C. don¡¯t intend to value success

D. regard achievement and happiness as the same

¡¾2¡¿What can be concluded from the study?

A. 20% of the students are not ambitious.

B. Kids care more about achievement.

C. About 80% of the students are not caring.

D. A majority of the kids are kind students.

¡¾3¡¿What may be the cause for the reality gap?

A. Children¡¯s failure to understand parents¡¯ well-organised words.

B. The generation gap between parents and children.

C. Children¡¯s desire for getting individual achievement.

D. Parents¡¯ lack of a real effort to guide children.
