　　Malls are popular places for Americans to go to. Some people spend so much time at malls that they are called “mall rats”. Mall rats “shop until they drop” in hundreds of stores under one roof.

　　People like malls for many reasons. They feel safe because malls have police stations or private security guards. Parking is usually free, and the weather inside is always fine. The newest malls have beautiful rest areas with waterfalls and large green trees.

　　The largest mall in the United States is the Mall of America in Minnesota．It covers 4.2 million square feet. It has 350 stores, eight night clubs, and a seven-acre park! There are parking spaces for 12,750 cars. About 750,000 people shop there every week.

　　The first indoor mall in the United States was built in 1965 in Edina, Minnesota．People loved doing all their shopping in one place. More malls were built all over the country. Now, malls are like town centres where people come to do many things. They shop, of course. They also eat in food courts that have food from all over the world．They see movies at theatres. Some people even get their daily exercise by doing the new sport of “mall walking”. Others go to malls to meet friends.

　　In some malls, people can see a doctor or a dentist and even attend church. In other words, people can do just about everything in malls. Now residents can actually live in their favourite shopping centre.

　　The weather in Britain changes very quickly．One day may be fine and the next day may be wet．The morning may be warm and the evening may be cool．You may go to bed with the stars shinning brightly, and wake up with rain falling heavily．This is what we mean when we say that the weather is very “changeable”．

　　In some parts of the world you can be quite sure what the weather is going to be like．You can make your plans for the next day or even for the next week, knowing exactly what sort of weather to expect．It is much more difficult to do this in Britain．It may be fine today and you may arrange to go to the countryside tomorrow．But when tomorrow comes you may find that you have to give it up because it is too wet．Making plans for activities out of door in Britain is therefore rather difficult．

　　People talk about the weather more in Britain than in most parts of the world．When two Englishmen are introduced to each other, if they can’t think of anything else to talk about, they talk about the weather．The weather is also considered a safe topic of conversation．If you do not know each other well enough to talk about personal matters, you can at least sound friendly by talking about the weather．When two people meet in the street and they have no time to stop and talk, they will often say something about the weather as they pass, just to show their friendliness．

　　As the weather is so changeable, it is of course quite important．It plays a big part in the lives of the British people．It has even been said that it is partly responsible for the character of the people．The British have to change their plans very often according to the weather and this has made them good at dealing with difficulties．But even if you can’t believe this story, you won’t have stayed in Britain long before you believe that the weather is certainly an important part of British life．Every daily newspaper publishes something about the weather．Both the radio and the television give reports on the weather several times each day．

(1)

　　Full-time university students spend all their time studying. They don’t do other work. Their course usually lasts for three or four years. Medical students have to follow a course lasting for six or seven years. Then they graduate as doctor. In Britain, full-time university students have three terms of about ten weeks in each year. During these terms they go to lectures or they study by themselves. Their vacations are long, but of course they can use them to study at home.

　　Some universities, like Oxford and Cambridge in England, are residential. This means that during the university terms the students live in universities.

　　Other universities are non-residential. Some of the students at these universities can live in a university hotel, but many live at home or in lodgings and have to travel daily to their lectures. Large cities often have universities of this kind, sometimes the students have to spend a lot of time on their journeys.

　　Full-time students are also called internal students, because they spend all their times at universities. There are also external students who cannot attend the university full-time but who are studying for its examinations. They are part-time students. They have to do other work during the day, usually to earn their living, and they study in the evening.

　　External students are often older than full-time internal students. Sometimes they can attend lectures in the evening, but many of them have to study by correspondence(函授).they write at home the work that is set by their tutors(指导教师).Then have to pass their work to their tutors post corrections and advice back to them.

　　In some countries,” Universities of the Air” can now help students to receive degrees. After special lectures on radio or television, these students have to send set work for correction by correspondence .However, for a few weeks each year they can attend special vacation course at universities.
