     Since many of you are planning to study at a college or university in this country, you may be curious
to know what you usually do in a typical week, bow you can get along with your fellow students, and so
on. These are the questions I want to discuss with you today.
   First, let's talk about what your weekly schedule will look like. No matter what your major may be,
you can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lectures. Lectures
are usually in very large rooms because some courses such as introduction to sociology or economics
often have as many as two or three hundred students, especially at large universities. In lectures, it's very
important for you to take notes on what the professor says because the information in a lecture is often
different from the information in your textbooks. Also, you can expect to have exam questions based on
the lectures. So it isn't enough to just read your textbooks; you have to attend lectures as well. In a
typical week you will also have a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take. The discussion
section is a small group meeting usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about
the lectures, the reading, and the homework. In large universities, graduate students, called teaching
assistants, usually direct discussion sections.
   If your major is chemistry, or physics, or another science, you'll also have to spend several hours a
week in the lab, or laboratory, doing experiments. This means that science majors spend more time in the
classroom than non-science majors do. On the other hand, people who major in subjects like literature or history usually have to read and write more than science majors do.

Purpose of the text	To help the students learn about (1)______ life
Things that students usually do in a typical week	(2)_____ lectures having (3)_____ for every class doing (4)____ in the lab if you (5)____ in science.
(6)______ of time spent attending lectures	Between 4 and 6 hours a week
(7) _____ of attending lectures.	The information in a lecture often (8) _____ from that in the textbooks. Exam questions are often (9)______ on lectures.
Discussion section	under the (10)______ of teaching assistants

     Research has shown that music has an important effect on one's body and psyche (心灵). In fact,
there is a growing field of health care known as music therapy, which uses music to treat diseases. Even
hospitals are beginning to use music therapy. This is not surprising, as music affects the body and mind in
many powerful ways.
     Research has shown that quick music can make a person feel more alert, while slow music can
produce a calm, deep thinking state. Also, research has found that music can change brainwave activity
levels. This can help the brain to change speeds more easily on its own as needed, which means that
music can bring lasting benefits to your state of mind, even after you've stopped listening.
     Breathing and heart rates can also be influenced by music. This can mean slower breathing, slower
heart rate. This is why music and music therapy can help reduce the damaging effects of long-term stress,
greatly promoting (促进) not only relaxation, but health.
     Music can also be used to bring about a more positive state of mind by helping to keep worries away. Music has also been found to bring many other benefits, such as lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of strokes. It is no surprise that so many people are considering music as an important tool to help the body become or stay healthy.

Parents have to do much less for their children today than they used to do, and home has become
much less of a workshop. Clothes can be bought ready made, washing can go to the laundry, food can
be bought cooked, canned or preserved, bread is baked and delivered by the baker, milk arrives on
the doorstep, meats can be had at the restaurant, the work's canteen, and the school dining-room.
It is unusual now for father to pursue his trade or other employment at home, and his children rarely,
if ever, see him at his place of work. Boys are therefore seldom trained to follow their father's
occupation, and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young
wage-earner often earns good money, and soon acquires a feeling of economic independence. In textile
areas it has long been customary for mothers to go out to work, but this practice has become so
widespread that the working mother is now a not unusual factor in a child's home life, the number of
married women in employment having more than doubled in the last twenty-five years. With mother earning and his older children drawing substantial wages father is seldom the dominant figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When mother works，economic advantages accrue, but children lose something of great value if mother's employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from
schoo1.

1. The writer mentions home as workshop because .

A. fathers often pursue employment at home
B. parents had to make food and necessity themselves for their daily-life
C. many families produce goods at home for sale
D. both fathers and mothers in most families are workers

2. The word "accrue" in the sentence "When mother accrue," is closest in meaning to .

A. change
B. dwindle
C. double
D. increase

3. The chief reason that boys are seldom trained to follow their father's occupation is _______.

A. that children nowadays rarely see their fathers at their place of work
B. that fathers do not like to pursue employment at home any more
C. that there is a wide choice of employment for children
D. that children also like to have jobs outside

     "A very disruptive(扰乱型的) six-year old child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand," said one
teacher.  "I  broke up a fight and was kicked between my legs," said another. Many people have heard
stories like this.  But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.
     Every child, regardless of the circumstances into which they are born, has the right to achieve their
potential, regardless of their parents’ wealth and class. And we recognize that, as a nation，it is a long
way to achieve this goal. But rights come with responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in
danger of neglecting the latter.
     Far too many children are behaving badly at school, even to the point of being violent to staff. This is
terrible enough, but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behavior of their
parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table, and
unable to use the lavatory properly.
     We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof. The bedroom,
once a place to sleep, has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front of computer
screens, on social networking sites or being immersed in computer games, children and young people
spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.
     Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They are responsible for setting boundaries for their children's behavior and sticking to those boundaries when the going gets tough. They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resources—time—so that children come to school ready and willing to learn.

1. In the opinion of the writer, what problem do people ignore?

A. The school violence.
B. The pressure of students' learning
C. The right to achieve students potential.
D. the responsibilities of the students.

2. The writer's attitude to the behaviors of parents may be that of ________.

A. dissatisfied
B. unconcern
C. understanding
D. tolerance

3. The underlined part in Para 4 may means__________.

A. parents and children live in their separate rooms
B. parents care little about children's life at home
C. children don't live with their parents in the same room
D. at home children live a different life from that of parents

4. From the last paragraph, we can infer that______.

A. schools can't correct the wrongs that society does to teachers
B. teachers have no responsibility for playing the role of parents
C. parents should spend time with children making them ready to learn
D. students are responsible for making themselves known in society

     Nervous suspects (嫌疑犯) locked up in Britain's newest police station may feel relieved by a
pleasant yellow color on the door. If they are close to confessing a crime (招供), the blue on the wall
might tip the balance.
     Gwent Police have stopped using colors such as greys and browns of the 20th-century police cell
(牢房)and have used color psychology to decorate them.
     Ystrad Mynach station, which recently opened at a cost of ￡5 million, has four cells with glass doors
for prisoners who suffer from claustrophobia (幽闭恐怖症). Designers have painted the frames yellow, which researchers say is a calming color. Other cells contain a royal blue line because psychologists
believe that the color is likely to encourage truthfulness.
     The station has 31 cells, including 12 with a "live scan" system for drunken or disturbed prisoners,
which detects the rise and fall of their chest. An alarm alerts officers if a prisoner's breathing stops and
carries on ringing until the door is opened.
     Designers and psychologists have worked for years on color. Blue is said to suggest trust, efficiency,
duty, logic, coolness, thinking and calm. It also suggests coldness and unfriendliness. It is thought that
strong blues will stimulate clear thought and lighter, soft colors will calm the mind and aid concentration.
     Yellow is linked with confidence, self-respect and friendliness. Get the color wrong and it could cause
fear, depression and anxiety, but the right yellow can lift spirits and self-respect.
     Ingrid Collins, a psychologist who specializes in the effects of color, said that color was an "energy
force". She said, " Blue does enhance (improve) communication but I am not sure it would enhance
truthful communication."
     Yellow, she said, affected the mind. Red, on the other hand, should never be considered because it
could increase aggression. Mrs. Collins praised the designers for using colors in the cells. Gwent is not
the first British force to experiment with color to calm down and persuade prisoners to co-operate. In
the 1990s Strathclyde Police used pink in cells based on research carried out by the US Navy.

1. The expression "tip the balance" in paragraph 1 probably indicates that the blue might _______.

A. let suspects keep their balance
B. help suspects to confess their crimes
C. make suspects cold and unfriendly in law court
D. enable suspects to change their attitudes to colors

2. Which of the following colors should NOT be used in cells according to the passage?

A. Pink.
B. Yellow.
C. Blue.
D. Red.

3. Which of the following helps alert officers if someone stops breathing?

A. Scanning equipment.
B. Royal blue lines.
C. Glass doors.
D. Yellow frames.

4. The passage is mainly concerned with __________.

A. the relationship between colors and psychology
B. a comparisons of different functions of colors
C. the use of colors in cells to affect criminals' psychology
D. scientific ways to help criminals reform themselves in prison

5. What's the author's attitude toward the change of the color in prison?

A. Against.
B. Favorable.
C. Passive.
D. Excited

     Americans wear black for mourning while Chinese wear white. Westerners think of dragons as
monsters. Chinese honor them as symbols of God. Chinese civilization has often shown such polarities
(对立) with the West, as though each stands at extreme ends of a global string. Now in the University
if California, Berkeley, a psychologist, has discovered deeper polarities between Chinese and American
cultures-polarities that go to the heart of how we reason and discover truth.
     His findings go gar toward explaining why American cultures seem to be aggressive and Chinese
cultures so passive, when compared to each other. More importantly, the research opens the way for
the peoples of the East and the West to learn from each other in basic ways. The Chinese could learn
much from Western methods for determining scientific truth, said Kaiping Peng, a former Beijing Scholar, who is now a UC Berkley assistant professor of psychology. And Americans could profit enormously
from he Chinese tolerance for accepting contradictions in social and personal life, he said.
     "Americans have a terrible need to find out who is right in an argument," said Peng. "The problem is
that at the interpersonal level you really don't need to find the truth, , or maybe there isn't any." Chinese
people, said Peng, are far more content to think that both sides have advantages and disadvantages,
because they have a whole awareness that life is full of contradictions. They do far less blaming of the
individual than do Americans, he added.
     In studies of interpersonal argument, for example, when subjects were asked to deal with
contradictory information resulting from conflict between a mother and a daughter or a student and a
school, Peng found that Americans were "non-compromising, blaming one side - usually the mother-for
the causes of the problems, demanding changes from one side to attain a solution and offering no
compromise" in dealing with the conflict. Compared to this angry, blaming American method, the
Chinese were paragons (模范) of compromise, finding fault on both sides and looking for solutions that
moved both sides to the middle.

1. In Paragraph 1, the author sets examples in order to ____.

A. expose the contradiction between Chinese and Americans
B. show the differences between Chinese culture and American culture
C. find the reason for the differences
D. generalize the main idea of the passage

2. Compared with Americans, Chinese are___.

A. likely to find the truth in life
B. unwilling to admit their own failure
C. unwilling to have a general idea of things
D. likely to know advantages and disadvantages of things

3. The studies show___.

A. an American treats his or her mother badly
B. different ideas of treating the aged
C. different personality of Chinese and Americans
D. different conflicts of Americans and Chinese

4.The main idea of the passage is___.

A. polarities between American and Chinese cultures
B. extreme ends of the string
C. different attitudes towards the aged
D. different manners in social occasions
