You put a great deal of effort into reaching the college of your choice. It’s time to get started. But what’s next? Beginning college can be an exciting but awkward time. Follow these tips to adjust to your new life rapidly and make the most of your college experience.

● To save time and money, use the college’s bus system. Taking the bus to school is quick, easy and free in most college towns. You won’t have to locate or afford a place to park either. It’s also a good way to be environmentally aware.

● Save pennies on books by waiting until class starts. You might not even need all of the recommended books. New textbooks cost an arm and a leg. Try buying used textbooks — it’s a surefire way to save money and serves the purpose as well.

● Do never look at college life as an endless series of parties and social activities. But there is a whole lot more to college if you’re serious about graduating. Having a good college experience is all about balancing work and fun.

● Be aware that your living environment can largely affect your academic success. If the dorm doesn’t suit you, consider living at home with your family or renting your own apartment. The best location for your studies isn’t always your dorm. Find a quiet area, like the library, to do your work. Alternatively, buy some headphones that block out noise.

● Be mindful of your diet. Make healthy food choices and watch what you eat. Avoid foods that are processed or high in sugar. The “freshman 15” is real. Many college students gain at least 15 pounds during their freshmen year.

● While electives (选修课) can be helpful when figuring out your major, you shouldn’t entirely rely on them. Clubs and other organizations exist around. Get involved. Make sure, though, that you still have time to study. Having too much on your plate can hurt your grades.

35. Which of the following ideas can be financially wise?  

A. Driving your own car.                                                                                             B. Buying used books.

C. Renting an apartment.                                                                                          D. Attending activities.

36. In the text, freshmen are repeatedly warned against ______.

A. academic failures                                                                                                                                                      B. physical problems

C. traffic accidents                                                                                                                                                                       D. social activities

37. The “freshman 15” tells the fact that some freshmen ______.

A. attend limited activities on campus    

B. have little regular physical exercise

C. focus less on their academic work

D. take relaxed attitudes to their diets

38. The underlined phrase “having too much on your plate” probably refers to _____.

A. using too much money for meals

B. eating too many unhealthy foods

C. taking part in too many after-class activities

D. taking an elective that has too many students

We’ve talked about snails (蜗牛) and their slow move. But much of the time snails don’t move at all. They are in their shells (壳) —sleeping.
Hot sun will dry out a snail’s body. So at the least sign of hot sun, a snail draws its body into his shell. A snail will die in a heavy rain. So when it rains, a snail does the same thing, too. A snail can sleep for as long as it needs to. It spends all  the winter months in its shell, asleep.
In the spring the snail wakes up. Its body, about three inches long, comes out from the shell. When hungry, the snail  looks for food. Its eyes, at the end of the top feelers (触角), are very weak. But its sense (感觉) of smell is very strong. It helps the snail to find food and the new greens.
A snail’s mouth is no bigger than the point of a pin (大头针). Yet it has 256,000 teeth! The teeth are very small, and you can’t see them. If you put a snail in a hard paper box, it will eat its way out! And if a snail wears out its teeth, it will grow new ones.

    Besides calling 911, here is what to do in some life-threatening emergencies when no one is

around to help.

Lost in the wilderness

First, you’ve got to acknowledge you’re in trouble. Stay where you can be seen clearly and remember to rest. Keeping a sense of humor helps too—it reduces stress and helps creative thinking.

In a wide open area, make a colorful cross out of rocks to show your present position.

Choking

 Aim to hit the top of the chair against your stomach, in the soft part below the bony upside-down V of the ribs(肋骨). Make a sudden push against the chair. If you still can’t breathe after six tries, call 911, even if you can’t talk. Write the word choking somewhere nearby, and leave the line open until help arrives.

Severe bleeding

Use your hand or clean cotton, or paper towels, or a scarf, or any cloth you can find, and push down on the wound until the bleeding stops. But if you put a band around your leg tightly, you’re going to close the vessels(血管)to the entire leg. In this way, you could lose your foot.

Bear attack

If you surprise a bear, don’t run away. That invites an attack. Instead, stand up and back away slowly, without looking the bear in the eyes. If it does charge at you, stick out your chest, raise your arms, and spread your legs. Shout at the bear, to frighten it. If it’s going to attack, lie facedown, with your handsheld firmly behind your neck. Play dead until you’re sure the bear is gone.

60. When you see a colorful cross made of rocks in the wilderness, you know     .

         A. someone is bleeding             B. someone is choking

         C. someone is attacked by a bear   D. someone is lost  

61. If you are still choking after six tries, you should          .

         A. call 911 and leave the line open  B. keep a sense of humor

         C. use your hand our clean cotton  D. lie down with your hands behind your neck

62. Don’t tie around your bleeding leg tightly, or you could         .

        A. stop bleeding                B. reduce stress            C. cause breathlessness         D. lose our foot       

63. The passage is mainly teaching us how to       .

         A. avoid a bear attack      B. survive the emergencies

         C. deal with a choke                  D. find our way

Directions: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

    We’d like to agree with the recent report comparing the difference between a TV and a computer: When you use one you turn your brain on, with the other you turn it off.

Your brain may not be the only thing the TV turns off. It seems that men who watch a lot of TV are more sedentary, eat more food and are generally much fatter. Similar result have been found for women. Experts think that watching TV means that not only are you sedentary, but you have to watch food advertisement inducing you to eat more. The food that you are being induced to eat may not be good enough for you health.

If you are a couch potato, here are some suggestions:

Tape a piece of paper to the back of your remote control or TV Guide, and every time you watch a show, note how long you sit there and what you eat..

Review the record after a week. This can be a shock.

Don’t have a TV in your bedroom; having a TV in your bedroom greatly increases viewing time and if you tend to eat while viewing, the results are obvious.

Think of a healthy way instead of watching TV that you like. This can be as simply as walking the dog or walking to visit a neighbor regularly.

After a few months you are likely to be surprised about how much more time you seem to have and how much better you feel.

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)

1.The phrase “a couch potato” best describe a person who ___________.

2.The author believes watching TV _______________ your brain.

3.Why shouldn’t you put a TV set in your bedroom?______________.

4.According to the passage, which maybe the healthy ways? ___________.
