Dear Jones,

　　    You have asked me for suggestions on how to get along in the United States. It is difficult to give advice, but I have found the following "dos" and "don'ts" helpful.

　　     As a 1 , it isn't easy to find anyone to 2 in a big city. However, here are some suggestions. 3 , get or borrow 4 ! Walk him several times a day!　　 Americans love dogs and usually stop 5 to anyone with dog. 6 ,try to eat in a cafeteria (自助餐厅) .

　　     People generally 7 the same tables and will sometimes talk to you 8 they see that you are a 9 .

　　     Next, take your dirty 10 to a laundry (洗衣店) ! It takes about an hour to wash and dry, and many people 11 there. They often pass the 12 talking to the other customers (顾客) . 13 ask for information from a woman, if you are a 14 , and from a man, if you are a woman. It seems to get 15 results for a reason I can't understand. Learn the 16 　　 :"Please", "Thank you ", and "You're welcome" before you come and use them all the time! They usually work like magic (魔术) .　　 　　

　　     There are some things you 17 . Don't tell the truth when people 18 "How are you ?" They only 19 the answer to be "Fine". Never ask people their 20 —especially women! Everyone wants to be young. Don't tell heavy people they are 21 . Tell them they are losing 22 . Everyone　　 here wants to be 23 . Don't be late for appointments (约会) ! When someone says six o'clock, 24 be there by six. Americans respect 25 and expect everyone to be "on time".　　 　　

　　     Above all, don't worry! Just follow my advice and bring a lot of money, you will get along. I hope I have been of some help to you.

Cordially yours,

Socrates

　　Plagiarism is one of the most serious problems in schools and colleges. It has occurred as long as there have been teaches and students, but the recent growth of the Internet has made it much worse. Recent studies show 30% of all students may be plagiarizing on every written homework they've done. What is plagiarism? It is using other's ideas and words without clearly mentioning where the information is from.

　　The ways to avoid plagiarism are:

　　* Put in quotations (引号) everything that comes directly from the text.

　　* Paraphrase (转述), but be sure you aren't just rearranging or replacing a few words. Instead, read over what you'll paraphrase carefully; close the text so that you can't see any of it; and write out the idea quite in your own words. Then check your paraphrase to make sure you haven't accidentally used the same expressions.

　　In US and UK universities, plagiarism is considered as cheating or dishonesty with punishment from a zero for the homework to a failing grade for the subject, to a loss of all grades for that term or an expel (开除) from the university for at least two terms.

　　Several methods are taken in US universities to stop students' plagiarizing on line. Some colleges are experimenting with a program that can control the computer's operating system during the test. Teaches also go to www. turnitin. com to catch cheaters. However, students need to be made clear of the reason why plagiarizing is wrong.

In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends.① They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities (品质) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).

　　

At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.②

　　Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on (信赖) a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.

That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience (经验) and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor (幽默), too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
