NEW LIFE ON CAMPUS
Beginning college is exciting: new ideas to explore, new challenges to be met and many decisions to be made; your future begins here. However, you will find college life is different from your previous school environment. Many of us can be easily confused by the details of running a well-balanced life. While some of us may have the know-how, I guess there are more of us who can benefit from learning about the experiences of others who have walked the college halls before you.
The following you may find of use about life on campus:
Plan well. There are so many new things to do at a new college or university. Give yourself time to make new friends and became familiar with the campus, but don’t forget why you are there. Give some time for social activities and manage your time wisely.
If you don’t have a “system” for planning your time now (like a day timer or a computer data book), get one. Most of all, don’t depend on your memory.
Don’t miss the guidelines. The restrictions, rules and regulations of all kind can usually be found in your student’s handbook. Consider them well-balanced food for thought. What dates are important? What pieces of paper need to be handed in? What can/can’t you do in your student residence? Who has the right for what? What do you need to complete to graduate?
Write the word “STUDY” on the walls of your bedroom and bathroom, and maybe it will help to write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the telephone, TV and the kitchen table. Consider this—you are paying thousands of dollars for your course. You pay every time you have to repeat or replace a course.
Build your identity. This is the time for you to decide what to do and what not to do in the future. Take as much time as you need to explore new ideas. Do not be afraid of the beyond. This is learning to make good choices about it.
1、According to the passage, why is it exciting to begin college life?
A．Because you will have more freedom at college.
B．Because you prepare for your future career and life there.
C．Because everything is totally different from what it used to be.
D．Because professors there will provide you with many new ideas.
2、According to the passage, college students .
A．should know what they have to fight for on campus
B．are allowed to repeat or replace at least one course
C．need to spend as much time as possible on social activities
D．dislike to learn from those who went to college before them
3、What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To offer advice on college life.
B．To persuade you to go to college.
C．To explain why college life is exciting
D．To describe the importance of college life.

B
It’s not easy feeling like you’re always under the spotlight being judged for each little mistake you make.Your mind is in an endless circle playing what you said and did over and over again.You wish you had a time capsule to go back and make things fight if you find mistakes.You fear what others will think about you and that they will reject and dislike you.You seek to be socially perfect.
Academically，you work long endless hours just to make those excellent marks.Although most would say“it's good to have high standards，”they have no idea about the internal hell you put yourself through to achieve perfection.If you come up less than your desired goal you feel as though you have failed，but you’re far from failing，you just don’t see it that way.So instead you are telling yourself that you’re stupid，and not smart.The pressure you place on yourself weighs you down and you wear the“not good enough”label each and every day.
You not only have high standards for yourself but you also have them for others.If people don’t perform up to your expectations，then you think them incompetent.This causes a lot of frustration because you can’t trust anyone to get things right.So instead of being a team player you fly solo(单飞)and try to do two or three jobs at once.Your unrealistic expectations cause you to criticize and judge others and that leads to problems in other areas of your life.
The attempt to be perfect is called perfectionism and it's the unachievable American dream that’s damaging our emotional and mental health.We strive for perfection with our body，in our performance，and in our relationships.In a society that overstates mistakes，is it any wonder that so many young people attempt the impossible task of being perfect?
We all have flaws，fears，and make mistakes，and that’s perfectly OK.It’s our imperfections that make life interesting and they help us grow into a stronger more adaptable person.We don’t have to strive to achieve the impossible.We are designed to be perfectly imperfect.
1、What might be the most suitable title of the text?
A．Far from failing B．Perfectly Imperfect
C．Perfectionism Phenomenon D．Unachievable American Dream
2、Which of the following is a perfectionist most likely to agree?
A．Nobody is perfect. B．Be generous with praise.
C．There is no best，only better. D．A contented mind is an everlasting feast.
3、What can we infer from the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A．More and more people are tolerating mistakes.
B．The society is partly to blame for perfectionism.
C．Many young people find it impossible to be perfect.
D．It’s unusual for a society to seek perfectionism nowadays.
4、What does the author think of imperfection?
A．It’s part of our life. B．It’s unbearable.
C．It deserves to be overcome. D．It does harm to our mental health.

He 16 there, letting the water slowly 17 his hand—the temporary cup.
When he stood up and began to go back, I was there in front of him. His little eyes just filled with 18 “ I’m not wasting” was all he said. As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the 19 , they were suddenly joined by other drops ... more drops ... and more.
All I can say is that the 20 that came that day saved our farm, just like the actions of one little boy saved another.

Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank
Once upon a time
Once upon a time there lived in Germany two brothers At school they met a wise man who led them to a treasure — a library of old books with tales more fascinating than any they had ever heard 1．(inspire), the brothers began collecting their own stories, listening to the folktales people told them Soon they produced their own treasure — a book of fairy tales that would charm millions in faraway lands for generations 2．(come)
The brothers Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm, named their story collection Children’s and Household Tales and published it in Germany in 3． The collection 4．(translate) into more than 160 languages up to now The stories and their characters continue to feature in virtually every media: theatre, opera, comic books, movies, paintings, rock music, advertising and fashion
Such fame would have shocked the modest Grimms During their lifetimes the collection 5．(sell) few copies in Germany The early editions were not even aimed at children They had no illustrations, and scholarly footnotes took up almost as much space as the tales 6． Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm began their work at a time 7． Germany had been occupied by the French under Napoleon The new rulers restricted local culture As young scholars, the brothers Grimm began to work on the fairy tale collection in order to save the endangered oral storytelling tradition of Germany
8． the brothers implied that they were just keeping records of tales, Wilhelm continued to polish and reshape the stories up to the final edition of 9． In an effort to make them more acceptable to children and their parents, he stressed the moral of each tale and emphasized gender roles To this day, parents still read them to their children because they approve of the lessons in the stories: keep your promises, don’t talk to strangers, work hard, obey your parents
Yet 10． all Wilhelm’s additions, the most important part of these stories was left untouched The cruel treatment of children and the violent punishments handed out to the stories’ bad guys are too much for some parents
So what accounts for their popularity? Some have suggested that it is 11． the characters are always striving for happiness But the truth probably lies in their origin Grimms’ tales were born out of a storytelling tradition without boundaries (界限) of age or culture The brothers’ skill was to translate these into a universal style of writing that seems to mirror 12． moods or interests we bring to our reading of them And so it was that the Grimms’ fairy tales lived happily ever after
