8．The Problem with Top-School Lists
There are around 4，000 accredited universities and other higher education institution in the United States．They offer an immense range of educational experiences，（25）fromlarge research universities to small，friendly liberal arts colleges．This helps explain （26）whythe United States attracts more international students than any other country，says Allan E．Goodman，president of the Institute of International Education，（27）anon-profit group promoting student exchanges to and from American．
"While elite（精英） U．S programs are among the top ten in the world，"Goodman says，"the unique strength of the U．S．higher education system is diversity．"
There is no official ranking system to indicate which institutions are better than others，（28）though/butseveral unofficial rankings are listed by magazines and associations．However，educators urge caution in using a ranking table and emphasize that （29）the best（good） choice for one student may be very different for another．
Institutions of all types （30）are spread（spread） across the United States．Some students want a campus that will give them the excitement and rich cultural life of a big city such as New York，Chicago，or Los Angeles．（31）Othersvalue the peace and beauty of a rural setting，whether the quiet forests and snowy winters of the Northeast，subtropical Florida，the dry expanse of the West，or the Pacific coast with its seashore and nearby mountains．
Many institutions have particular strengths in certain academic areas，（32）making（make） them a good choice for students interested in those fields．

5．Can you change your personality significantly？For example，if you are shy，can you turn yourself into an outgoing person who never gets stage fright when speaking in public？It's certainly not easy，but experts say it is possible．
First of all，you will never stay the same person．The Times reports several research studies conducted over the past few years show a person's personality naturally changes over time in response to life events such as entering a committed relationship or advancing in the career．From the ages of 20to 65，people report increases in positive characteristics．Most people tend to become more agreeable，more responsible，more emotionally stable．Their personalities improve as they mature．
When researchers talk about"personality"，they mean"characteristic pattern of thinking，feeling and behaving that is consistent over time and across situations，"says Christopher Soto，a research psychologist in Britain，who also mentioned that personality is about 50percent born and 50percent learned．
Psychologists usually divide human personality into 5models：openness，conscientiousness（尽责），agreeableness，neuroticism（神经质）and outgoingness．Some personality types are more successful than others．Accordingly，even small changes in a person's personality can produce important effects on relationships，career，health and happiness．But change takes time．And people need to start by changing the behavior and then，if that new behavior can be maintained over time，it gets settled．
Where do we start？"First，we have to recognize which pieces of our personality affect us，"says Richard Levak，a well-known personality expert．"If I am always getting fired because I get into arguments with co-workers，and always blame others，then I have to realize that I have to change something．"
"Don't set your expectations too high．Be patient．It's important to start small．"Warren Kennaugh，a behavioral expert in Australia says．"You also should let a friend or relative know what you're doing．Not only can they be supportive，but a change for you can also mean a change for them．"
32．We can learn from the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs thatC．
A．a small part of one's personality is born with them
B．personality changes significantly in childhood
C．personality can be changed because of life events
D．positive personality changes take place before 65
33．The underlined part means that to your friends or relatives，D．
A．your personality change will not be successful without their support
B．they should be told beforehand to prepare for your personality change
C．your personality change will be a model for them to follow
D．they may change their personality in the same way you do
34．According to the passage，personality change needsA．
a．proper time                b．appropriate self-awareness
c．strong determination        d．high expectations
A．a，b          B．b，c          C．a，d            D．d，c
35．What's the tone of the passage？D
A．Unclear．B．Doubtful．C．Humorous．D．Objective．

12．How do you spend your time？To get it，Paul T．Rankin asked sixty-eight individuals to keep an accurate，detailed record of what they did every minute of their waking hours．He discovered that 70percent of their waking time was spent on one thing only-communication．Put that evidence alongside the research findings uncovered by the Human Engineering Laboratories，they discovered that，vocabulary，more than any other factor yet known，predicts financial success．New words make us better thinkers as well as communicators．What better reason for beginning right now to extend your vocabulary？But how？
Hybrid （杂交产生的） corn combines the best qualities of several varieties to ensure maximum productivity．A hybrid approach to vocabulary should，in the same way，ensure maximum results．That's why you should use the CPD formula．
Through Context．When students in a college class were asked what should be done when they came across an unknown word in their reading，84percent said，"Look it up in the dictionary．"If you do，however，you short-circuit the very mental processes needed to make your efforts most productive．
But there's another reason．Suppose someone asks you what the word"fast"means．You answer，"speedy or swift"．But does it mean that in such context as"fast color"or"fast friend"？And if a horse is fast，is it securely tied or galloping at top speed？It could be either．It all depends．On the dictionary？No，on the context．After all，there are over twenty different meanings for"fast"in the dictionary．But the dictionary doesn't tell you which meaning is intended．That's why it makes such good sense to begin with context．
Through Word Parts．Now for the next step．Often unfamiliar words contain one or more parts，which，if recognized，provide definite help with meaning．Take the word"monolithic"for example．Try to separate the parts．There is the prefix mono-，meaning"one"，and the root-lith，meaning"stone"．Finally，there's the suffix-ic，meaning"consisting of"．Those three parts add up to this definition："consisting of one stone"．
To speed up your use of word parts，you will be introduced to the fourteen most important words in the English language．The prefix and root elements in those few words are found in over 14，000words．With those amazingly useful shortcuts，you can build up vocabulary，not at a snail's pace，one word at a time，but in giant leaps，up to a thousand words at a time．
Through the Dictionary．Now you can see why you should consult the dictionary last，not first．You've looked carefully at the context．You've looked for familiar word parts．Now you play Sherlock Homes．In light of context or word parts，you try to solve a mystery．What exactly does that strange word mean？Only after you go through the mental gymnastics to come up with a tentative （不确定的） definition should you open the dictionary to see if you're right．
You are now personally involved．Your increased interest will lead to a better memory of both word and meaning．It also encourages your development of the habits needed to accelerate your progress．And when you see in black and white the definition you had expected，what a feeling of accomplishment is yours．In that way，the CPD Formula provides the exact approaches for maximum effectiveness．
Well，there it is，your new formula-Context，Parts，Dictionary．Use it!The results will be like the money in the bank．

10．The new discovery challenged the___ ___theory about life's origins．（　　）

3．At one point along an open highway，I came to a crossroad with a traffic light．I was alone on the road，but（16）as/when I drove up to the light，it turned red，and I braked to（17）a stop．I look left，right，and behind me．Nothing．Not a car，no suggestion of headlights，but there I sat，waiting for the light（18）to change （change）．I was the only human being for at least a mile in any direction．
I started wondering（19）why I refused to run the light．I was not afraid of being caught by the police，because there was（20）obviously（obvious） no policeman anywhere around and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it．Much（21）later （late） that night，the same question of why I（22）had stopped（stop） for that light came back to me．I think I stopped because it's part of a contract （合同） we all have with each other．It's not only the law，but it's an agreement we have，and we trust each other to honor（23）it：we don't go through red lights．Like most of（24）us，I'm more ready to be stopped from doing something bad by the social agreement that disapproves of it than by any law（25）againstit．
