18. Freshmen anywhere may be nervous about university life.Here, three pieces of advice are for them.
Listen but don't be silent
The world is held in students’ hand via smart phones. Thus, they may consider lecture listening less important. 36 It forces students to face the difficulties of training a deep attentiveness.Unsurprisingly, students find it hard to speak out, ask questions or for points of clarification. They don't want to appear foolish or incapable. However, there is no such thing as a foolish question. Teachers are there to help you understand. This also goes for seminars and workshops. 37
Read and buy books
38 There're so many useful online sources today, but the habit of reading books, especially whole books, is something being lost. Buy your own books.There are many bargains to be found on used-book websites or through Amazon. Being a book lover and buyer will help any student get the most out of their education.
39
As a student, you don't just have to learn to listen and become an active reader: you also
6 / 10
have to become an academic writer. Written work at college level cannot be done at the last minute or in a rush. It takes time. Turn to your teachers. If they will read draft essays then make sure you can get feedback(反馈)ahead of the final submission. 40
Students who get feedback on their work always do better than those who do not. It is one of the few educational laws that holds true in all cases. A. Don't try to do it all the night before. B. However, a lecture is a listening workout. C. Thinking clearly cannot be done in a rush.
D. So train your ear, listen carefully, but don't be silent. E. Reading is the most important thing that any student does. F. Re-writing has proved to be the turning point in one's degree. G. If they won't read drafts, then see them to run through your ideas.

三、 阅读理解
19. The girl looking for the job turned out to be excellent but she ended up giving her employer a headache when it also turned out that she used an unreal diploma(文凭). In December, a Civil Administration Bureau in the city of Wuhan, Hubei Province, an-nounced that it needed five new staff members. Some 120 people applied and took the exam. Ap-plicants were required to show proof of a college degree at least.
Mei Jing beat everyone in the test and the interview. When a follow-up check was done, however, her education certificate(证书) was discovered to be an unreal one. This was a bit of an embarrassment for the employers. A dilemma, one might say. If she were hired because of her excellent performance, she still wouldn't have the qualifications on pa-per. But, if she were dropped because she didn't meet the education requirements, they would lose a good worker. Tough problem!
While Mei's future hangs in the balance, the public having learned of the case got involved. Some people said the Bureau should employ her, since results are the only important thing. “After all, ability is more important than a diploma, ”said one office worker.
Others, however, have attacked Mei's dishonesty. They said that morality was, after all, more important than talent, especially in the case of a government position. Mei wasn't honest, so she shouldn't be hired.
But, Shen Ronghua, the head of the Shanghai Public Administration and Human Resources Institute, tries to be a bit more philosophical.
“There is still a sort of 'diploma means this' prejudice among people,” Shen explains, “Many employers regard a diploma as the only sign of ability and talent.”
8 / 10
So, with this in mind, people may pay little attention to whether someone has real ability or not. They turn to chasing a diploma instead. The unreal diploma is the natural product of this thought.
The conclusion? \"China needs a new human resource system. The new system will not define a person only by his or her diploma, \" Shen says.
36.What's the meaning of the underlined word “dilemma” in Paragraph Four?
A. A problem easy to deal with or solve.
B. A situation in which it is difficult for you to make the decision. C. A difference in two or more statements, ideas, or stories. D. Something said or done that is funny. 37.What can we infer from this news report?
A. The Civil Administration Bureau of Wuhan employed the girl. B. The girl was not employed because of dishonesty.
C. It remained to be seen whether the girl was to be employed or not. D. Another Human Resource Institute employed the girl.
38.What does Shen Ronghua mean by saying “diploma means this”?
A. A diploma can tell whether a person is honest or not. B. A diploma is the only sign of ability and talent. C. A diploma is what you get after you finish a course. D. A diploma means a job.
39.Which of the following do you think is the best title of this news report?
9 / 10
A. A Girl's Unlucky Experience. B. Unreal Diploma.
C. Dishonesty Has Been Attacked. D. Can A Diploma Be All There Is. 参考答案:
36.B 37.C 38.B 39.D

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Five steps to take if your child is being bullied
86 The worst thing you can do is ignore it. Too often parents feel children and teens need to “work things out” on their own. If the problem is ignored, your child’s self-esteem will become unhealthy, he will be hurt mentally or physically, and he could become a bully himself.
Here are five steps you can take if your child is having problems with a bully:
87 This is an important first step and will help your child trust that you are able to help him with his problem. Accept what he has to say at face value by using your active listening skills.
Let your child know that he is not alone. 88 Reassure your child that he is not the problem. Nothing he did caused the bully to go after him.
If your child is being threatened in a physical or illegal way at school, report the problem. Your child may not want you to do this, or the school may not take it seriously, but violence cannot be tolerated. 89 You will need to model assertive (果断的) behavior by alerting those in charge where the bullying is taking place.
Teach your child assertive behavior and how to ignore routine teasing. Let them know it is okay to say “No.” Sometimes even friends bully, so letting your child know they can be true to their own feelings and say “No” can go a long way.
90 Giving up possessions or giving in to a bully in anyway encourages the bully to continue. Identify ways for your child to respond to a bully — showing assertive but not aggressive behavior — and role-play them.
A. Believe what your child tells you.
B. Encourage your child not to give in to a bully.
C. Praise your child for being brave enough to talk about it.
D. Bullying is a terrible situation for a child to have to cope with.
E. If you choose not to do anything, that is what you’re teaching your child.
F. Most children have to deal with some type of bullying behavior at one time or another. G. If your child comes to you because a bully is bothering him, you need to pay close attention to the problem.
