8.As the new term starts,freshmen around the world are asking the same question:how can I make the best of four years at college?The New York Times received suggestions recently from PhD students and seniors at some of the top universities.Here is their advice.
"Many young people today are raised in a protective cocoon(繭)",wrote Tim Novikoff,a PhD student at Comell."College is a time to explore the world beyond and a chance to learn new things about yourself.Take classes in different subjects.Try lots of different clubs and activities."
Remember also to take some time away from campus,suggested Willie Lin,a student at Washington University."If you spend all of your time in school,then it becomes too easy to let criticism from an unkind professor or a conflict with a roommate take up large proportions."
Try to find work assisting a researcher or a professor---this is the advice from Aman Singh Gill,a PhD student at Stony Brook University.And he also said,"With a window into the world of research,you will find yourself thinking more critically,accepting fewer states at face value and perhaps developing a brave sense of what you can accomplish."
Many young people can't imagine even a single day without devices such as computers and cell phones.But try to keep yourself off them,cautioned Christine Smallwood,a PhD student at Columbia University.
Start by scheduling a few Internet-free hours each day,with your phone turned off.It's the only way you'll be able to read anything serious."This will also have the benefit of making you harder to reach,and thus more mysterious and fascinating to new friends and acquaintances(熟人),"she suggested.

63.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3means we shouldB.
A.spend more time at school
B.take some time out of school
C.listen to criticism more
D.not argue with roommates
64.Who thinks it is important to consider something critically?A
A.Aman Singh Gill     B.Christine Smallwood
C.Tim Novikoff        D.Willlie Lin
65.As for modern information devices,the last two paragraphs mean to tell usC.
A.to keep ourselves off them forever not to use them
B.to turn them off
C.to make a schedule to use them
D.not to use them
66.This passage is mainly aboutA.
A.tips from some students for college life
B.ways to read something serious regularly
C.days without cell-phones and computers
D.chances to go to university you really like.

But the Fusses weren't the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches.Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches'generosity.In some cases,it was a few thousand dollars; in other,it was more than$100,000.

3.Parents who feel disappointed at their teenagers'failure to pay attention in class,and inability to sit quietly long enough to finish homework or plan ahead,should take solace.Their children are not being lazy or careless,according to new research.
    The research has found that teenagers'brains continue developing far longer into adulthood than we used to think.Teens may look like young adults but their brain structure is similar to that of much younger children.
"It is not always easy for teens to pay attention in class without letting their minds wander,or to ignore distractions from their younger brothers or sisters when trying to solve a maths   problem,"said Dr Iroise Dumon-theil."But it's not the fault of teenagers that they can't pay attention and are easily distracted.It's to do with the structure of their brains.Teens simply can't think as well as an adult."
    The research showed that the brain of a teenager works less effectively than that of an adult."We knew that the front of the brain of teens functioned in a chaotic  (混亂的) way but we  didn't realize it continued until the late 20s or early 30s,"said Dr Sarah-Jayne Blakemore,who led the research.
    Chaotic thought patterns are a result of teenagers'brains containing too much grey matter-the cell bodies and connections which carry messages within the brain.As we age,the amount of grey matter in our brain reduces.
"What our research has shown is that there is simply too much going on in the brains of teens,"said Blakemore."The result is that their brain energy and resources are wasted and their decision-making process is badly influenced.Adults,on the other hand,have less grey matter.This means that the brain works far more effectively."
63.The underlined word"solace"in Paragraph 1 may meanC.
A.notice      B.medicine    C.comfort     D.a(chǎn)ction
64.When making decisions,A.
A.teens'brains continue to do much needless work
B.the grey matter in young children's front brain becomes active
C.people are not likely to be distracted until their late 30s
D.a(chǎn)dults are more independent than teens
65.What is the effect of having too much grey matter?D
A.It makes us always feel disappointed.
B.It makes us more intelligent.
C.It had a bad effect on the growth of teens.
D.It had a bad effect on decision-making.
66.What's the text mainly about?C
A.Teens have different brains from those of children.
B.Adults work more effectively than teens.
C.Grey matter makes teens unable to pay attention.
D.Brain energy is wasted in the brain's activity.

13.Gallows humor(黑色幽默) may seem like a mistake,or at least in poor taste.But psychologists say that gallows humor can be an important way to relieve stress."Humor makes you feel in control and it can give you that feeling that everything is okay even when it's not,"says James M.Jones,a psychology professor at the University of Delaware.
Psychologists say that just because you're laughing doesn't mean you're wasting time.Occasional tease among colleagues,particularly if it is associated with the job,can inspire creativity,departmental cohesiveness(凝聚力) and performance.
"There are a lot of stresses out there,"says Ed Dunkelblau,a psychologist in Chicago."Gallows humor is a way of making difficult things a little less difficult."
This is as long as the humor is used for the right purpose.The main point of it should be inspiring people-not laughing at them."Anything that would lift morale(士氣) in terms of the company would be good humor,"says Thierry Guedj,a professor.
You want to give your employees and co-workers a sense of belonging,so don't make observations that are aggressive.Most obviously,Dr.Guedj says,don't make comments about people's physical appearance or faith.If you have any doubt about its appropriateness,don't go through with it.
Or you can take aim at the person that you know won't be offended(冒犯):yourself."If there's going to be a joke or story,it should be you,"Mr Dunkelblau says.
"People with the ability to laugh at themselves can give other people permission to laugh at themselves,too,"Mr Jones says."And if you can laugh at yourself,you feel better about yourself."

60.According to the passage,gallows humor has the following functions EXCEPTA.
A.leading to a big mistake               B.reducing pressure
C.making people more creative            D.improving performance
61.What is Ed Dunkelblau's attitude towards gallows humor?B
A.Negative.          B.Positive.
C.Neutral.           D.Uncertain.
62.When people use gallows humor,they shouldD.
A.observe who is aggressive
B.show a sense of belonging
C.doubt about the result of humor
D.try to avoid involving private things
63.What can we infer from the passage?B
A.People tend to laugh at others rather than themselves.
B.Laughing at yourself can make others free from stress.
C.People can't avoid offending others with gallows humor.
D.People who laugh at themselves are easy to gain others'permission.

"No!Leave me alone!"Those were the last words I said to him that morning.
My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later.I forgot to be mad at them and went.When I came home I found a note on the table.My mother put it where I would be sure to see it."Dad has had an accident.Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital".

My mother may have said more,but I didn't hear.I didn't hear anything except those terrible words:Leave me alone.My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more.How much had I hurt him when I hurled those words at him earlier in the day?
It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation.I held his hand gently,afraid of hurting him.
"Daddy…I am so sorry…."
"It's okay,sweetheart.I'll be okay."
"No,"I said,"I mean about what I said to you that day.You know,that morning?"
My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly.He looked at me and said,"Sweetheart,I don't remember anything about that day,not before,during or after the accident.I remember kissing you goodnight the night before,though."He managed a weak smile.
