One of the best things you can do any time in the semester is go see the professor. So hoof on over to an office hour and have some one-on-one face time with someone who'll help you master the material and improve your grade, to boot. But how should you have this conversation with the professor? Here are five insider tips about how to make that office hour really count:
No need to get all bent out of shape about going to see the professor. The professor would actually like to see you and answer your questions. Believe it or not, he or she is on your side and is eager to see you do well. And besides, he or she has seen many students stupider than you, so nothing you're gong to ask will set the record for stupidity.
Even though you might feel more comfortable going with a friend or partner, the office hour will go better if it's just you and the professor. You'll get in more questions, the discussion will be tailored to what you need most help on, and two-party communication is almost always more productive than committee work. You friend can wait outside for the discussion.
If you can't make the official office hours, most professors are willing to make individual, appointments to help you out. If you're lucky enough to land such an accommodation, though, be sure you're 100 percent on time. There's nothing that ticks off a professor more than making him-or herself available for a custom office hour only to find that you don't care enough to come on time. And besides, the professor might leave after ten minutes, which would make your trip a total loss.
If you're meeting with the professor to go over a paper or test, or to ask questions about a particular lecture or reading, make sure you bring that paper or test, or your lecture notes or a copy of the article. The professor doesn't remember the comments he or she wrote on your individual piece of work—though he or she will be able to recall them after just a brief glance at your work. And if you have your lecture notes or the article in hand, you and the professor will be able to examine specific points that are confusing to you, rather than just talking in a general way about the contents.
Office hours almost always go better if you bring a few specific questions to the meeting. It's almost never good to start a meeting with general comments such as: “I didn't understand what you said about [main topic of the course]”or “I couldn't understand any of your lectures last week.” Much better is to come in with two or three conversation-starters, about a specific concept, point, or problem you didn't understand. Keep in mind that in a fifteen-minute office hour (which is how long these things usually last), two or three questions are usually the most you'll have time to discuss.

Answer 1

【答案】E；F；D；C；A
【解析】本文是一篇議論文，給出了幾個(gè)建議如何約見(jiàn)教授并開(kāi)展對(duì)話(huà)以及一些注意事項(xiàng)。
（1）考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)后面所說(shuō)的一些內(nèi)容可以得出答案，比如all bent out of shape 大發(fā)雷霆，理解上下文不難得出之所以不敢去問(wèn)是因?yàn)楹ε�，教授�?huì)問(wèn)你說(shuō)stupid 愚蠢，因?yàn)閔e or she has seen many students stupider than you“教授見(jiàn)過(guò)比你更蠢的學(xué)生都有”。故選E。
（2）考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空后“ Even though you might feel more comfortable going with a friend or partner, the office hour will go better if it's just you and the professor. 最好是只有你和教授兩個(gè)人” 和“You friend can wait outside for the discussion你的朋友最好在外面等” 說(shuō)明你應(yīng)該是獨(dú)自一個(gè)人去的Go it alone，故選F。
（3）考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)使用的幾個(gè)詞“on time”和 leave after ten minutes, 可以知道這個(gè)意思是Don't make them wait.不能讓教授等待，應(yīng)該是準(zhǔn)時(shí)，因?yàn)榻淌诓粫?huì)久等。故選D。
（4）考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空后“...make sure you bring that paper or test, or your lecture notes or a copy of the article.”確信帶紙或者是試卷，說(shuō)明你去之前應(yīng)該是Bring materials with you.帶一些材料。故選C。
（5）考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)下文“Much better is to come in with two or three conversation-starters, about a specific concept, point, or problem you didn't understand.”最好是帶兩個(gè)或3個(gè)觀點(diǎn)、概念或者不明白的地方開(kāi)始對(duì)話(huà)”， 也就是準(zhǔn)備幾個(gè)要說(shuō)的東西。此題容易錯(cuò)選B選項(xiàng)，而且文章中也的確提到了這個(gè)字眼“general comments”, 但是要注意前面所使用的一個(gè)詞never絕不” It's almost never good to start a meeting with general comments”。故選A。
