  Many teachers believe that the responsibility for learning lies with the students.If a long reading assignment is given, teachers expect students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or give an examination.Courses are not designed only for students to pass exams.The ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated(有动机的;目的明确的)to learn for the sake of learning, not the one interested only in getting high grades.Grade-conscious students may be frustrated(受挫)with teachers who do not believe it is necessary to grade every assignment.Sometimes homework is returned with short written comments but not with a grade.Even if a grade is not given, the student is responsible for learning the material assigned.

  When research is assigned, the professor in the United States expects the students to take the initiative(积极性)and complete the assignment with less guidance.It is the student’s responsibility to find books, magazines, and articles in the library.Professors do not have the time to explain how a university library works, but they expect students, particularly graduate students, to be able to use all the reference materials in the library.

  Professors will help students who need it, but prefer that their students not be over-dependent on them.In the United States, professors have other duties besides teaching.Often they are responsible for management within their department.In addition(此外), they may be required to publish articles and books.Therefore the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is limited.If a student has problems with classroom work, the student should either approach(接近)a professor during office hours or make an appointment.

Hello. It’s one of the first words we learn as babies, yet it’s one of the last words we think to use as adults today. That’s unfortunate, because saying hello is more than just saying hello——it is recognition of another’s worth. How might the world change——how might we change——if we mastered this word? To find out, I spent one month saying hello to every person I met. Here’s what I’ve learned.

   It can boost (促进) productivity. In one of the few studies ever done on this subject, Allan All day, an assistant professor of special education at Oklahoma State University, had middle school teachers greet their students individually each morning. This exchange of greetings raised the kids’ productivity. School went from impersonal to personal, and that resulted in more class participation and better grades.

   Environments influence friendliness. One study found that people in the city were less likely to shake hands with a stranger than those in the countryside. My experience was similar. Whatever the reason, my urban hellos were answered far less often than my rural ones. Similarly, people in vacation spots were far friendlier than those hurrying work downtown.

   It’s a form of universal health insurance. It’s impossible to say hello without smiling. And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure, relieve stress and boost happiness. Apparently, a smile creates a similar effect in the recipient (接受者).

So maybe we can make the world a better place by____________.  After a month of doing it, I feel lighter and I have a better sense of well-being.

1. What does the author say about the adults’ saying hello today?

_______________________________________________________________________________

2. Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?

  Teachers and students got friendlier so that the students became more active in learning and scored higher in tests.

  ____________________________________________________________________

3.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 5 with proper words. (within 5 words)

  ____________________________________________________________________

4.What are the three effects of smiling on health according to the text. (within 8 words)

Smiling can ___________________________________________________________

Dear Jenny,

  We have been talking to each other mostly through e-mails. This time, I choose to write a letter instead, as I feel like writing English with a pen. When I write with a pen, it seems easier for me to express my thoughts and feelings.

  It is almost a month since school started. I really like being in high school. It's exciting. There are so many new things to do and so many new friends to meet.

  High school students in China live a busy but colourful life. We have to work hard for the National College Entrance Examinations, which will take place in less than three years.

  Now I have a large group of friends. We take all of our classes together in the same classroom. It's good to have friends to study with because we can help each other. I'm pretty good at English, so many guys ask me for help with their English. I don't mind. After school we usually go to play sports for a little while. Sometimes we take a walk down the river or visit some bookstores. We have to be back for evening class by 7:30.

  Among my classmates, there is one guy named Dazhi, whom I like most. I met him on the sports ground one afternoon. He was sitting alone, deep in thought. I went up to him and introduced myself. I learned from our talk that he is from the countryside some two hundred kilometers away from Shijiazhuang. Dazhi's fascinating life attracts me very much, because it has been very different from mine. As time goes on, I find we have many similar interests and hobbies. I think I can learn a lot from him. Being friends means learning from each other. Don't you think so?

  I have invited Dazhi to come to my home for dinner this Sunday. I think we will have a good time together. We will have lots of things to share(分享)with each other. I am quite happy with this growing friendship. It has opened a door to many new experiences.

  I must go back to class now.

  Best wishes!

Yours friendly,

Li Ming
