The UK has a well-respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world. But to those who are new to it all, it can be overwhelming and sometimes confusing.
    October is usually the busiest month in the academic calendar. Universities have something called Freshers' Week for their newcomers. It's a great opportunity to make new friends, join lots of clubs and settle into university life.
    However, having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind, the prospect of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve-wracking. Where do you start? Who should you make friends with? Which clubs should you join?
     Luckily, there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you worrying about starting their university social life on the right foot. So just take it all in slowly. Don't rush into anything that you'll regret for the next three years.
    Here are some top tips from past students on how to survive Freshers' Week:
   - Learn rules. Make sure you are aware of British social etiquette. Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends.

   - Be hospitable. Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in making friends.
   - Be sociable. The more active you are, the more likely you'll be to meet new people than if you're someone who never leaves their room.
   - Bring a doorstop. Keep your door open when you're in and that sends positive messages to your neighbors that you're friendly.

（2011·湖北卷）A

Honesty, my mum always used to tell me, is the best policy. Of course, this didin’t include her when she told me that if I didn’t eat all my vegetables Father Christmas would find out and wouldn’t give me any presents.

But when it comes to medicine, I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients. After all, the doctor patient relationship is based on trust, and therefore honesty is essential, Or so I thought.

I had just started working in geriatrics(老年病科). Mr. McMahon was brought in when his baby was faound very swollen. I took a medical history from his daughter would accompanied him in the ambulance. She’d been his main carer for years. I stood looking at him as she gave a detailed history. “Has he lost any weight recently?” I asked, “Well, it’s funny you should mention that, but yes.” She said slowly. There was silence for a few moments. “Why? What are you worried about?” she asked, I hesitated. She was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told her the truth. “Well, we need to prove it’s not cancer.” I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order.

Half an hour later, a nurse called me: “Mr. McMahon’s daughter broke down－she said you told her he had cancer.” My heart sank. By the time I arrived at the ward, my consultant was already there, explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer. I stood silently at the end of the bed. My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr. McMahon, she turned to me. “Why on carch did you do that?” she asked to disbelief. I looked at her andbit my hp. “She asked me what I was worried about and I told her.” I said, hanging my head. “And give her more to worry about?” replied my consultant. “You don’t say the word ‘cancer’ until it’s confirmed. Even if you suspect it, think very carefully before you tell people.”

As it turned out, it wasn’t cancer. But I did learn that when somecone is stressed and worried about their loved one they’re sometimes selective in what they hear－and as a doctor it’s important to be mindful of this. In being truthful, I’d made the situation worse.

A. misunderstood the doctor-patient relationship

B. was anxious to receive Christmas gifts

C. regarded honesty as the best policy

D. had an unhealthy eating habit

B. hurt

C. disappointed

D. helpless

54.What lesson has the author learnt from his experience?

A. Learning form parents is necessary.

B. Jumping to a conclusion is dangerous.

C. Telling the truth may not always be the best solution.

D. Selecting pleasant words may not be the perfect policy.

       It was Christmas Day 1999．On CNN, talk show host Larry King was interviewing Stephen Hawking．

       “What, professor, puzzled you the most?” King asked． “What do you thing about the most?”

       Hawking immediately replied, “Women．”

       It’s a comfort that Hawking, one of the smartest men in the world, is puzzled by the opposite sex．But, that’s not surprising, according to Satoshi Kanazawa．Bright people are no better than anyone else at making smart decisions about common things, he says．These include finding a mate, maintaining family relationships, raising children, finding the way home, and handling a variety of basic life needs．

       That’s because there are several kinds of formal “intelligence”, Kanazawa argues．Being smart one way does not necessary mean smart in another way．This view is sure to cause arguments among scientists who think about thinking．That is because it disagrees with the common view that general intelligence is a single thing．In that view, it is not, as Kanazawa and others say, set of independent mental areas．

       Kanazawa says that some kinds of intelligence developed slowly over time．Many people have heard about what is called “emotional intelligence”．Now, psychologists have discovered several other types of intelligence．These include the ability to learn a language, find a mate, recognize faces, and locate oneself in a new environment．

       But, is there evidence to support the theory that intelligence comes in many forms? “Actually, there is quite a lot of evidence”, Kanazawa says．“If there were only one type of intelligence”, he adds, “Then people with high IQs should be ‘smart’ in every way．”

       In one test, a psychologist took a group of subjects on a bike, walking into the forest．He then told them to find their way back．The high IQ people were no more likely to be able to find out where they were．In another experiment, a researcher asked people to find their way to a specific location in a computer maze(迷宫)．Once again, high IQ did not give them any edge．

1．Which of the following state is true according to the text?

       A．It’s surprising that the opposite sex puzzles Hawking．

       B．It’s natural that the opposite sex puzzles Hawking．

       C．People with high IQ have more advantages in daily life．

       D．People with high IQ have more emotional intelligence．

2．What are smart people according to Satoshi Kanazawa?

       A．They are better than the other people at making smart decisions about common things．

       B．They are as bad as the other people at making smart decisions about common things．

       C．They are more likely to be able to find the way back than the other people．

       D．They are more likely to be able to find a friend of the opposite sex．

3．The underlined word “edge” in this passage probably means        ．

       A．corner                    B．intelligence              C．advantage               D．proof

4．What does the writer mainly tell us in this passage?

       A．Anyone who has high IQ is always smart in doing everything．

       B．Anyone who has high IQ has higher emotional intelligence．

       C．Those who have high IQ do better than those who don’t in everything．

       D．Those who have high IQ can’t do better than those who don’t in something．

5．What does the last paragraph play in the text?

       A．Drawing a conclusion．                              B．Supporting the theme with facts．

       C．Stating the fact．                                       D．Expounding the theme．
