Question

C．Bring materials with you．
D．Don't make them wait．
E．Have no fear．
F．Go it alone．
   One of the best things you can do any time in the semester is go see the professor．So hoof on over to an office hour and have some one-on-one face time with someone who'll help you master the material and improve your grade，to boot．But how should you have this conversation with the professor？Here are five insider tips about how to make that office hour really count：．
56．ENo need to get all bent out of shape about going to see the professor．The professor would actually like to see you and answer your questions．Believe it or not，he or she is on your side and is eager to see you do well．And besides，he or she has seen many students stupider than you，so nothing you're going to ask will set the record for stupidity．
57．FEven though you might feel more comfortable going with a friend or partner，the office hour will go better if it's just you and the professor．You'll get in more questions，the discussion will be tailored to what you need most help on，and two-party communication is almost always more productive than committee work．Your friend can wait outside for the discussion．
58．DIf you can't make the official office hours，most professors are willing to make individual appointments to help you out．If you're lucky enough to land such an accommodation，though，be sure you're 100 percent on time．There's nothing that ticks off a professor more than making him-or herself available for a custom office hour only to find that you don't care enough to come on time．And besides，the professor might leave after ten minutes，which would make your trip a total loss．
59．CIf you're meeting with the professor to go over a paper or test，or to ask questions about a particular lecture or reading，make sure you bring that paper or test，or your lecture notes or a copy of the article．The professor doesn't remember the comments he or she wrote on your individual piece of work---though he or she will be able to recall them after just a brief glance at your work．And if you have your lecture notes or the article in hand，you and the professor will be able to examine specific points that are confusing to you，rather than just talking in a general way about the contents．
60．AOffice hours almost always go better if you bring a few specific questions to the meeting．It's almost never good to start a meeting with general comments such as"I didn't understand what you said about[main topic of the course]"or"I couldn't understand any of your lectures last week．"Much better is to come in with two or three conversation-starters about a specific concept，point，or problem you didn't understand．Keep in mind that in a fifteen-minute office hour （which is how long these things usually last），two or three questions are usually the most you'll have time to discuss．

Answer 1

分析 文章给出了几个建议如何约见教授并开展对话以及一些注意事项．

解答 56．E    57．F    58．D    59．C    60．A
56．E   概括总结题．根据后面的all bent out of shape 大发雷霆，理解上下文并不难，得出之所以不敢去问是因为害怕，教授会问你说stupid愚蠢，因为he or she has seen many students stupider than you教授见过比你更愚蠢的学生．
57．F      概括总结题．根据the office hour will go better if it's just you and the professor最好只有你和教授两人，以及Your friend can wait outside for the discussion．你的朋友最好在外等，说明你应该是独自一人去的．
58．D      概括总结题．根据使用的几个词 on time，leave after ten minutes推出不能让教授等，应该是准时．
59．C      概括总结题．根据第二行make sure you bring that paper or test，or your lecture notes or a copy of the article确信带纸或者试卷，说明你去之前应该是带一些材料．
60．A  概括总结题．根据第四行Much better is to come in with two or three conversation-starters about a specific concept，point，or problem you didn't understand最好是带两个或三个观点，概念或者从不明白的地方开始对话，也就是准备几个要说的东西．
