　Passage 1( 成都) Dear Merry， Recently, I have trouble with my study. In school I can"t listen to teachers carefully because I always feel tired and sleepy. I don"t spend time with friends after class either because I think it"s a waste of time. I even miss writing some answers in the test. At home, I can"t get my homework done every night. My parents don"t let me stay up. So I have to get up early the next morning to finish it. Lately, I even get a bad headache. How can I solve these problems? Yours， Liu YaDear Liu Ya， When you have trouble listening to teachers carefully in class, you_can_ask_your_teachers_or_deskmate_to_remind_you_often. Then spending time talking about many different things with friends can make you happy. It"s not a waste of time. As for homework, when it"s hard to get finished, one thing you can try is setting goals for yourself. Ask your parents to help you. You must take a break, especially if you don"t feel well.

Passage 3( 苏州) During my first two weeks at the University of California, Berkeley, I experienced some unexpected, funny, and sometimes embarrassing(令人尴尬的)situations. Allow me to share some with you. But first, let me give advice to other foreign students who plan to study in the United States. Check the weather before coming! I was very sure that California was sunny all year around so I left all my jackets and sweaters in Paris. It was a huge mistake! It rained almost every day during the first week in Berkeley. I have to say that I quickly forgot these unlucky events. Life in Berkeley is very pleasant and everything is so easy compared to Paris. For example, in only 24 hours I bought a mobile phone and made the lease(租约)agreement for a flat. What"s more, almost all the shops are open on Sunday, which is very practical for me. The first thing that surprised me is that students may come late to class. They freely enter and leave the classroom many times during class. In France, students respect the teacher"s lesson, so they are never late and they leave the classroom only at the end of the class. The local people in California are in general very nice, open and active. However, I am not

　totally used to their habits yet. Indeed, I was used to shaking my friends" hands every day in France. During my second day at Berkeley, I shook the hand of one of my classmates whom I had met the day before and he told me “I think we already met！” Another funny story happened during the first party I attended: A girl that I met before came to hug me, I thought she wanted to kiss me like we usually do in France to say hello. So I kissed her and she seemed a little bit embarrassed. I live a great experience at present, and I would just encourage any student to become a member in a program at UC, Berkeley. (

　)2. When the writer"s classmate said “I think we already met！”， he meant ________． A. he and the writer had known each other in France B. Americans needn"t shake hands when they met again C. he was not used to shaking hands with others D. the writer had forgotten about their last meeting (

　)3. What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A. His experience at UC, Berkeley. B. The relationship between classmates. C. His advice on studying abroad. D. The difference in attending a class.

　 Passage 4( 绵阳) Students who get tired of looking at the four walls of a classroom might like to take the nature course being offered by Carvel College again this

　summer. Groups of about a dozen students each, led by an experienced guide, will go on ten-day camping trips to the mountains to study the plants and animals that grow and live there. Students carry their own things, which include sleeping bags, warm clothing, food and water,

　and other useful tools. And what do the students do all day? Well, as soon as the sun comes up, they eat breakfast and start climbing up the mountain trail to the next campground, which is five to ten miles away. As the students take notes, the guide points out different plants and animals alongside the trail. The climb is usually over by early afternoon, so the group spends the rest of the day resting or swimming in a mountain lake. Before dinner each night, they all come together and discuss the day"s activities. At the end of the course, the students write reports using the information they have collected. But they don"t mind at all. What they do mind is leaving the beauty of the wilderness and the good friends they"ve made to return to their normal lives in the city. (

　they see along the trail. D. Review what they learn through discussion. (

　)4. What can we tell about the course? A. They will change campgrounds everyday. B. The students have to learn all by themselves. C. Pens and books will be useless in the course. D. Carvel College will provide everything for the students.

　Passage 5( 漳州)

　As the saying goes, “If at first you don"t

　succeed, try, try

　again.” This is never truer than when you are trying to master

　English. Lai Shixiong, a respected English master from Taiwan, has a story to share. Like many non-native speakers, Lai

　failed when he first started learning English. When he was in high school, he

　once got an unbelievably low mark of 7 out of 100 on an English test. He almost gave up on English, but then he entered a military school (军校), where he met a classmate who was good at English. Amazed by his classmate"s

　American accent, Lai decided to start learning

　English from the beginning. As

　he put it, “I saw myself as a baby who had just started to learn a language.” To correct his pronunciation, Lai practiced phonetic symbols(音标) hundreds of times every day using records. When he was able to pronounce words, Lai said he began to practice dialogues. Not being able to find someone to practice with, Lai created a learning atmosphere(氛围) on his own.“I just talked to myself as if

　I were in a dialogue，” he said. Lai also thought of ways to improve his skills. He used English to describe everything he

　saw. He even translated speeches when he went to class meetings at the military school. He also read and listened to English news to learn new expressions. “There is no shortcut to mastering a language. You have to practice，” Lai said. After all, Rome wasn"t built in a day. (

　A.

　Share your story with others.
