     September is an exciting month in every college freshman's life. For many, it's the first time that they've left home to live in a new environment. But after the hustle and bustle of a few weeks, excitement gives way to a less enjoyable emotion—homesickness.

     Homesickness manifests itself in many ways. You may miss mum's cooking, your pets, or even your old bed. All this becomes a fond memory of the past. Homesickness can be a bitter feeling for many students, especially when faced with the challenges of settling into an unfamiliar environment.

     But remember, you're not alone. According to a recent BBC article, 70 percent of British college students experience homesickness. In this increasingly globalized world in which people migrate to faraway places for a relationship, education or work, homesickness is a feeling shared by many adults.

     Homesickness can have similar symptoms to depression and in extreme cases it can develop into a panic attack. As for the term, homesickness or nostalgia wasn't invented until the 17th century. It was considered a disorder by a Swiss physician, who attributed soldiers' mental and physical discomfort to their longing to return home, "nostos" from Greek, and the accompanying pain, "algos".

     Studies in recent years, however, have shown that nostalgia may have some benefits to our mental health. After a decade of surveys and researches, Constantine Sedikides, a US social psychologist, found that nostalgia is what makes us human. He explains that nostalgia can resist loneliness, boredom and anxiety. Therefore, it's necessary for college students to learn some ways to overcome the uncomfortable feeling.

24.From the first two paragraphs, we can infer that ________.

A. homesickness means a fond memory of the past

B. only a few students will experience homesickness

C. homesickness is an enjoyable emotion among freshmen

D. college freshmen usually suffer from homesickness after weeks

25.The attitude of Sedikides towards homesickness is _________.

A. negative B. supportive C. skeptical D. critical

26.What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?

A. some benefits about homesickness

B. other problems in college freshmen's life

C. how to make campus life more meaningful

D. some tips on how to cope with homesickness

27.What is the best title for the passage?

A. Let's embrace homesickness

B. How to fit into the college life

C. A harmful emotion—homesickness

D. The disadvantages of homesickness

C

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity, others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.

I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.

However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.

28.What does this passage mainly talk about?

A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.

B. Opinions about competition are different among people.

C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.

D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.

29.Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?

A. It pushes society forward.

B. It builds up a sense of duty.

C. It improves personal abilities.

D. It encourages individual efforts.

30.The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means___ .

A. those who try their best to win

B. those who value competition most highly

C. those who are against competition most strongly

D. those who rely on others most for success

31.Which point of view may the author agree to?

A. Every effort should be paid back.

B. Competition should be encouraged.

C. Winning should be a life–and–death matter.

D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.

D

Most of us likely consider snakes to be cold to others of their kind, just as they are cold to us human beings.

    But those beliefs are wrong—especially when it comes to garter snakes (袜带蛇) , a new study says. These nonpoisonous creatures, which range from the chilly plains of Canada to the forests of Costa Rica, have special preferences about which snakes they hang out with—in other words, they have "friends."

"All animals—even snake—need to interact with others," says study leader Morgan Skinner, a doctoral

candidate in behavioral ecology at Wilfrid Laurier University in Canada. To investigate this theory, Skinner carried out a novel experiment to assess the personalities and sociability of eastern garter snakes. The results showed that "like us, they seek out social contacts, and they're particular about whom they socialize with," says Skinner.

    The idea that snakes have close friends may be surprising, but such relationships are increasingly being found throughout the animal kingdom, from bats to elephants. A recent analysis of bats showed, for example, that bats and humans both have conditional friendships.

    Scientists are likely better at discovering friendships among animals now than, say, 30 years ago, partly because many societies are more accepting of such a concept, and because researchers have far better tools for gathering and analyzing the data.

    However, the scientists have no idea what's motivating friendships in garter snakes, though they do know it's not related to reproduction or mating (交配): The study snakes did not prefer the opposite sex as friends. But such partnerships must be offering some benefit—otherwise the animals would not waste the energy forming such bonds. For example, snake friends usually curl up together, which helps them keep heat and defend against natural enemies.

    Whatever the reason, says Gordon Burghardt, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Tennessee, the study "should help convince people that snakes aren't all mysterious loners, but have more social intelligence and a larger social ability than most of us realize."

32.What can we know from the new study?

A. Snakes make friends for their next generation.

B. Snakes are kinder to each other than to mankind.

C. Snakes have special preferences for their partners.

D. Snakes also need social contacts and close friends.

33.Why can friendships among animals be researched better than before?

A. Because of the unique experiment by Skinner.

B. Because of more social support and better equipment.

C. More researchers are gathering and analyzing the data.

D. More people are changing their attitude toward animals.

34.In which way is snakes' friendship special?

A. Snakes' friendship does not last long.

B. Snakes prefer the opposite sex as friends.

C. Snakes make friends for the benefit of themselves.

D. Snakes are not particular about whom to make friends with.

35.What's the main idea of the text?

A. Snakes may also have friends.

B. Snakes are good at making friends.

C. Snakes can live with us peacefully.

D. Snakes will never feel lonely.

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。

To forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.

_____36____ Try the following steps:

Calm yourself. _____37____ You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.

Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. ____38____ Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.

Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.

_____39____ If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.

Don’t forget to forgive yourself. __ _ 40_____ But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.

A.Why should you forgive?

B.How should you start to forgive?

C.Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.

D.Try to see things from your offender’s angle.

E.For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.

F.To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.

作文：

Dear John，

I’m pleased to receive your letter seeking my proposals on how to overcome the awful habit of staying up late. Therefore, I’m writing to give you a helping hand. From my point of view, there are two accounts for this. For one thing, a habit is easy to form but hard to get rid of. For another, since mobile phones have become an indispensable part in our daily life, it is absolutely difficult to resist, especially for us adolescents.

Here are some humble suggestions for your consideration. First and foremost, you are supposed to switch off your phone and keep your phone away from you before going to bed so that it will not attract your attention. Additionally, if I were you, I would work out properly before going to bed to relax myself both physically and mentally. Last but not least, it is high time you enhanced your awareness of early sleep. As a classic proverb goes that early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. Whichever suggestion you will take, please persevere in it. Hopefully, your problem would be solved soon.

Best wishes!

Yours,

Wang Lin
