Students being interviewed either by alumni representatives or an admissions office need to walk a very fine line between being prepared and being rehearsed.

Here are some basic interview suggestions for you:

Don't arrive late. Don't arrive too early either. 1.

Don't dress inappropriately. There’s no need for a jacket and tie, 2. . That means no sneakers, shorts, T-shirts or jeans. Choose your outfit two days before the interview.

3. . Make sure you do your homework on specific majors, programs and their study abroad opportunities.

Don't be boring. Make yourself stand out with what you choose to talk about, such as your summer experiences, your volunteer and community service involvement, your club activities and internships or work experience. 4.

Don't sound like you've rehearsed. 5.

Don't forget to come prepared with your own questions. These questions are often where a student has the best opportunity to set themselves apart from other applicants. Create a list of questions you can ask that will help you decide if this could be the right college for you.

A. Being robotic and sounding like you've been preparing for three months will only work against you.

B. You won't have anything to do except getting more, nervous.

C. Not being well-informed about the college comes across as being disrespectful.

D. but you have to pretend you're going out for a nice dinner

E. Your questions should demonstrate critical thinking.

F. Don't assume you already know enough about the college

G. Share your interests and passions and let the interviewer feel like they know who you are when it's over.

Shree Bose is one of the most impressive kids graduating from Fort Worth Country Day High School this year. Bose has a large circle of friends, and there’s one who you may have heard of: President Obama. He has twice publicly recognized her achievements in cancer research and spoken with her in the Oval Office.

If that isn’t enough, Bose recently gave a TED Talk about her work with the cancer drug Cisplatin, which also won her first prize at the Google Science Fair and recognition as one of Glamour magazine’s Young Amazing Women of the Year.

After watching her grandfather struggle with liver cancer, Bose was determined to help out in any way she could. As a high school student though, her

scientific choices were limited. She reached out to various hospitals and research centers, but doctors turned down her requests because they felt she was too inexperienced medically.

Only the North Texas Science Health Center respected her determination and chose to guide her. The results were amazing.

Bose chose to study a protein (蛋白质) and its reaction with the cancer drug Cisplatin. She noticed that when she prevented this protein from growing, Cisplatin was allowed to begin destroying cancer cells once again.

“My project not only contributes to the understanding of the relationship between the protein and Cisplatin, but also suggests a newer, more effective treatment for patients who resist Cisplatin,” Bose said.

Bose’s achievements aren’t limited to the lab, though. She was also captain of her swim team and editor-in-chief of her school paper.

Bose is currently getting practical experience at the National Institute of Health and she’ll be attending Harvard in the fall. She plans to study molecular biology and go to medical school. Eventually, she would like to be a doctor.

1.President Obama has spoken with Bose because she ______.

A. gave a TED Talk recently

A. Bose’s research was supported from the start

B. Bose plans to become a doctor in the future

C. Bose will study in the National Institute of Health

D. Bose’s grandfather asked her to do cancer research

The United States government wants to know what the public thinks about its finding on the safety of cloned animals.

The Food and Drug Administration says meat and milk from clones of adult animals are safe to eat. They called them “as safe to eat as the food we eat every day.” And when those clones reproduce sexually(有性繁殖), the agency says, their offspring(后代)are safe to eat as well.

The United States this year could become the first country to allow the sale of foods from cloned animals. First，however，the public will have ninety days to comment on three proposed documents. On December 28th the F.D.A. released a long report, called a draft risk assessment, along with two policy documents. The agency says it must receive comments by April 2nd. The F.D.A. seemed ready to act several years ago，but an advisory committee called for more research.

For now，the government will continue to ask producers to honor a request that they do not sell foods from cloned animals.

Clones are still rare. They cost a lot and are difficult to produce. The F.D.A. says most food from cloning is expected to come not from clones themselves, but from their sexually reproduced offspring. It says clones are expected to be used mostly as breeding animals to spread good qualities.

Public opinion studies show most Americans do not like the idea of food from cloned animals. But this research also shows the public know little about cloning. Cloning differs from genetic engineering. A cell taken from a so­called donor animal is grown into an embryo(胚胎)in the laboratory. Next, the embryo is placed into the uterus(子宫)of a female animal. If the process is successful, the pregnancy reaches its full term and a genetic copy of the donor animal is born.

1. From the passage, we know ________.

A. the US government is very cautious about the safety of cloned foods

B. foods from cloned animals are popular in America

C. cloned animals will be easy to produce

D. most foods from cloning are expected to come from clones themselves

2.Who believes that foods from cloning are safe to eat?

A. Most Americans. B. An advisory committee.

C. Critics. D. The F.D.A. .

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

A. cloning has much in common with genetic engineering

B. not every cell taken from a donor animal can grow into a genetic copy

C. the donor animal should be a female one

D. cloned animals grow faster than normal ones

4. Whether the sale of cloned foods is allowed in the US depends on ________.

A. cloning technology

B. the advisory committee’s research

C. public comments

D. the documents of the F.D.A.

I am 26. I’m clear that I’m never going to catch up with Mother Teresa. But I want to do something to help people every single day like her.

Everybody thinks we just serve food and soda. The safety training is serious and stressful. Caring for 49 people in a business class in 90 minutes is not easy. I had a roommate who was a waitress; she just left a candle and a table cloth burning, and I used a fire extinguisher (灭火器) to put out the fire. If something goes bad at her job, she calls the police. But if something happens up in the air, it’s up to us.

I’m single and have no kids. I’ve flown every Christmas since 1995. If I fly, someone else can be with their kids. Christmas in an airport can be depressing, but it’s the little things that make a difference.

We’re not robots. It’s hard to put on a smile and just pretend everything is great when it isn’t. I’ve seen co-workers lose a family member the day before a trip and just pull themselves together (take control of their feelings and behave in a calm way). At the end of a 14-hour flight, it’s like, “It was really nice to help you, but I’m ready for you to get off the plane.” Those last 15 minutes can be the longest 15 minutes of your life. You can’t wait to turn off the flight attendant’s voice and get something to eat without anyone saying “Excuse me.”

Sometimes I go all day and never hear a “please” or a “thank you.” When you say thank you, it’s huge. It makes us feel like you actually see us as fellow humans. We’re up there together at a height of 30,000 feet, enjoying the miracle (奇迹) of the modern flight.

1.What’s the author’s attitude towards Mother Teresa?

A. Grateful. B. Fearful.

C. Doubtful. D. Admiring.

2. How did the author like her roommate’s job?

A. It was the same as hers.

B. It was more interesting than hers.

C. It was easier than hers.

D. It was more serious than hers.

3.Why does the author fly every Christmas?

A. Because she has nowhere to go.

B. Because she’s trying to be a helpful co-worker.

C. Because she owes her co-workers some favors.

D. Because she’d like to earn more money.

4.What does the author imply by saying the underlined sentence “We’re not robots”?

A. Flight attendants are not stronger than robots.

B. Flight attendants also experience emotions.

C. Flight attendants get tired while robots don’t.

D. Flight attendants need to rest now and then.

Scientists said the quake was as as a million of the atomic bombs that were onto Japan during World War Ⅱ. It may be the worst natural disaster in recent history it is affecting so many heavily populated coastal areas.

Because such waves happen in the Indian Ocean, there is no system in place to coastal communities they are about to be hit.

Tsunami is Japanese for “harbor wave”. They are usually caused by a sudden or fall of part of the Earth’s crust(地壳) under the ocean. Tsunamis often happen in oceans and they are most in the Pacific.

Tsunamis can be very long—as much as 100 kilometers—and be as far as one hour apart. They are able to entire oceans without losing much energy. One of the most striking about tsunamis is that an earthquake on one side of the Pacific Ocean can cause giant waves and destruction on the other side. When the ocean is deep, tsunamis can travel unnoticed speeds of up to 800 kilometers per hour.

The wave may only be a few meters high in the ocean. when it is near the shore and reaches shallow (浅) water, the wave very quickly in height. Witnesses(目击者) in some areas of Indonesia reported seeing up to 10-metre high waves crash into the shore.

Tsunamis travel in all directions from the center of an earthquake and attack coastlines. They can easily suck people out to sea, cause flooding and destroy property.

1.A. storm B. hurricane C. wave D. earthquake

For the writers in Western cultures, autumn is a difficult season to describe. On one hand, it is the end of the summer, and therefore a little sad. Winter is 1. the corner. As Ernest Hemingway 2. (write), you expected to be sad in the fall. On the 3. hand, autumn has its good side. French writer Albert Camus even thought autumn was a second spring: “ Autumn is a second spring 4. every leaf is a flower.” Another autumn theme is wisdom. The 5.

There are various reasons why people write poetry. Some poems tell a story and describe something in a way that will give the reader a strong impression. Others try to convey certain emotion. Poets use different forms of poetry to express them. The nursery rhymes may not make sense of and even seem contradictory. List poems have a flexible line length and repeating phrases what give both a pattern and a rhythm to the poem. The cinquain and haiku can give clear picture use the minimum of words. English speakers also enjoy some forms of Asian poetry--Tang poems from China in particularly. With so many different forms of poetry to choose, students may eventually want to write poems of their own.

One night Mrs. Riley, an elderly woman, was walking along a dark London street. She was carrying her handbag in one hand and a plastic carrier bag in the other. There was nobody else in the street except two young men. They were standing in a dark shop doorway. One of them was very tall with fair hair, the other was short and fat with a beard.
