【题目】Do you intend to study at an American university? It takes a long time to get accepted at most American schools, perhaps as much as a year. That’s why you should start choosing a school as soon as possible. It’s a good idea to apply to several different institutions, so that you’ll have a better chance of acceptance at one. You should start looking for information now, because the more information you have about each college, the better choice you can make.

There are two good ways to get information you need. One is a general reference (参考) book, called Guide to American Colleges and Universities. The other good source of information is the catalogue (目录) published by each school.

You can study the general guide in almost any American library. This book has many useful statistics, such as the number of students, the average test scores for people accepted to the school, the number of books in the library, and the number of teachers. You can also find the address of each school in this book.

Although the general guidebook has helpful information, some of the facts may be out-of-date. For example, many schools raise their tuition every year. Since you’ll need to know what your education will cost, out-of-date information will not be good enough. Also, schools sometimes change their requirements for entrance. To be sure that you are getting present information, write to the university and ask for its catalogue. The catalogue has more detailed information. For example, the catalogue can tell you if there is a special foreign student advisor, what kind of courses are offered, and what kind of housing is available. Some universities have dormitories, but at others you have to find your own place to live.

With all of this information, you should be able to pick out several good schools.

1Where can you probably find the information about a school?

A. From a reference book. B. From any library in the world.

C. From a textbook of the school. D. From the lists of schools.

2Which of the following information will be included in a general guidebook?

A. The location of a school. B. The cost of living abroad.

C. Students’ activities at school. D. The list of library books.

3How can you get the newest information of a school?

A. By reading guidebooks. B. By visiting its website.

C. By asking a student advisor. D. By writing to the school.

4Who may find this passage most useful?

A. An English teacher in Japan. B. A high school student in China.

C. A university student in America. D. A school headmaster in Britain.

【题目】The following simple exercise routine works as well as prescription medication(处方药) without side effects.

A jog a day could keep your headaches at bay; regular cardio workouts(有氧锻炼) may prevent migraines(偏头痛), a growing body of research suggests.

Migraine patients had fewer headaches after doing 40-minute cycling workouts three times a week for three months, according to a Swedish study.

The exercise routine worked just as well as one of the top migraine-preventing drugs—topamirate, but without side effects of depression and tremors(颤抖).

“Cardio workouts can help with regular headaches, too,” says Alexander Mauskop, M.D., director of the New York Headache Center in Manhattan.

There are a couple of theories on how it works.

“Breaking a sweat may relieve stress,” says Dr. Mauskop. Headaches are often triggered by stress, and if you remove the trigger, you release the pain.

The feel-good chemicals produced when you exercise actually block your pain sensors, acting as a natural painkiller.

Since headaches can be caused by many different factors like genetics, lack of sleep, or certain foods, the cardio workout won’t be the solution for everyone, Dr. Mauskop says. But one German study found that it helped 65 percent of patients, which makes it as effective as the best medicines on the market.

Dr. Mauskop recommends his patients do a half-hour reasonable intensity(强度) cardio workout, like jogging, biking, or swimming three times a week. These workouts are meant to be slow and steady, as opposed to high-intensity intervals that alternate between all-out runs and rest.

Pushing yourself too much or increasing the intensity too quickly can trigger headaches in some people, so make sure your heart rate doesn’t jump above 150 BPM. If you don’t have a heart rate monitor, then breathe only through your nose. You’ll know you’re going too hard if you can’t keep up that breathing pattern.

Your migraines could start disappearing in a couple of weeks, Dr. Mauskop says.

1According to the passage, the author may agree that _______.

A. jogging, swimming and fishing are cardio workouts.

B. neither cardio workouts nor topamirate has side effects

C. migraine patients may be cured by regular cardio workouts

D. cardio workouts will be the solution for everyone with migraines

2The underlined word “triggered” in Paragraph 7 can be replaced by _______.

A. cured B. released

C. caused D. monitored

3What would be the best title?

A. A cure for headaches B. Side effects of migraines

C. The causes of headaches D. Advantages of cardio workouts.

1 A child who learns to respect not only learns to receive respect from others in kind, but also learns to respect himself.

Show him respect.

This is the best way to teach your child how to respect others. Listen to your child attentively and he will learn to listen to you, understanding how important this is in communication.

Control your anger.

When a situation arises, stay calm and keep in mind that you are supposed to be modeling correct behavior. 4

Praise, praise, praise!
