        Many many years ago the Magans lived near a big lake. On the other side of the lake there was a different group of Indians . The two groups were enemies. The other group of Indians had fire and the Magans didn’t.

        The Magan chief wanted to get fire for his people. He knew that fire was very important for cooking and keeping warm. They sent two of his men to ask the people on the other side of the lake for some of their fire. The men got in a boat and crossed the lake.

        Those people wouldn’t listen to the chief’s men . They told them to leave and threw stones at their boat.

        “Maybe they will be friendlier if I sent them some gifts ” the chief thought . He picked two other men and sent them across the lake . This time , the men took many beautiful and important gifts with them.

        When they reached the other side of the lake the people there were still not friendly. Again they told them to leave and threw stones at their boat .

        The chief didn’t know what to do . He spoke with all of the important men of his village.

        They decided to steal some fire. The Magans had many dogs . The chief asked his people to find the most intelligent dog in the village. At last they found the dog. The chief put a stick in the dog’s mouth and sent him across the lake.

        The dog swam to the other side of the lake . It was night-time when he arrived and everybody was sleeping . The dog walked quietly to the fire in the center of the village and lit the stick.

        No one saw him as he walked back to the lake . He swam across the lake very slowly that it took all night to cross the lake.

        In the morning he reached his village and walked carefully to the chief. The chief took the stick and started a fire in the center of the village. That is the way the Magans fooled their enemies and got fire.

    Since many of you are planning to study at a college or university in this country, you may be curious to know what you usually do in a typical week, how you can get along with your fellow students, and so on. These are the questions I want to discuss with you today.

    First, let’s talk about what your weekly schedule will look like. No matter what your major may be, you can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lectures. Lectures are usually in very large rooms because some courses such as introduction to sociology or economics often have as many as two or three hundred students, especially at large universities. In lectures, it’s very important for you to take notes on what the professor says because the information in a lecture is often different from the information in your textbooks. Also, you can expect to have exam questions based on the lectures. So it isn’t enough to just read your textbooks; you have to attend lectures as well. In a typical week you will also have a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take. The discussion section is a small group meeting usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about the lectures, the reading, and the homework. In large universities, graduate students, called teaching assistants, usually direct discussion sections.

    If your major is chemistry, or physics, or another science, you’ll also have to spend several hours a week in the labor laboratory, doing experiments. This means that science majors spend more time in the classroom than non-science majors do. On the other hand, people who major in subjects like literature or history usually have to read and write more than science majors do.

    1.The main purpose of this text is__________.

    A.to help the students to learn about university life

    B.to persuade the students to attend lectures

    C.to encourage the students to take part in discussions

    D.to advise the students to choose proper majors

    2.We can learn from the passage that university professors__________.

    A.spend about 5 hours on lectures each week

    B.must join the students in the discussion sections

    C.prefer to use textbooks in their lectures

    D.require the students to read beyond the textbooks

    3.A discussion section does NOT include__________.

    A.working under the guidance of university professors

    B.talking over what the students have read about the courses

    C.discussing the problems related to the students’ homework

    D.raising questions about what a professor has said in a lecture

    4.According to the author, science majors__________.

    A.have to work harder than non-science majors

    B.spend less time on their studies than non science majors

    C.consider experiments more important than discussions

    D.read and write less than non-science majors

    （7）阅读理解
    For many of us, printed books are satisfying in ways beyond the words they contain. Billions of printed books have been published, read and saved in the 600 years since movable type was invented, so why mess with a good things?
    Sony Electronics is doing just that, betting that readers will be won over by the convenience of readability of its new electronic book devices. Sony's reader, the PRS-505, can hold 160 books in its fixed memory, enough to line the shelves on a good-sized wall in the average American home. The $299 device is about the size of a paperback book, but a half-inch thick and weighs less than a pound.
    The Sony book reader is revolutionary not only in its storage capacity. The font（字体） is highly readable and adjustable by size. Unlike laptop computers, you can put the Sony in your purse, read it in direct sunlight and even bookmark the pages. And you can connect it to your PC to download books.
    Surprisingly, though the reader has liberated the book from paper, electronic books aren't always a bargain. For example, David Baldacci's "Stone Cold" download retails（零售） for $15.19 at the Sony site, while Amazon（卓越网） will deliver a hard copy to your mailbox for $16.19.
    The Sony reader also lets you store and play or display music. So what's not to like about the Sony? Well, for many bibliophiles, a lot. Book lovers like to have, hold and keep their volumes, which don't need charging. You can write notes in the margins, and enjoy the ambience they provide on your book shelves.
    The need for electronic reading devices is likely to grow as more people worried about the billions of tons of paper used for printed material. Many believe the time will come when devices like the Sony reader are as common as printed newspapers and magazines today.
    1．What would be the best title for the passage?
    A. The age of the electronic book reader is coming
    B. Printed books are out of date
    C. The Sony reader meets many readers’ needs
    D. The revolution in book readers
    2．According to the passage, the Sony book reader _________.
    A. is as light as a laptop computer              
    B. can hold more than 200 books
    C. is convenient to carry around                 
    D. cannot be connected to a PC
    3．What is the author’s point when he mentions “Stone Cold”?
    A. Amazon’s printed books are very cheap
    B. “Stone Cold” can be got from the Sony site and Amazon
    C. The Sony book reader is not very cheap to use
    D. The Sony book reader can benefit its buyers a lot
    4．The underlined word “bibliophiles” in Paragraph 5 refers to “__________”.
    A. music lovers                                  B. book lovers
    C. electronic reading devices        D. Sony readers
    5．According to the author, what’s the future for the electronic reading devices?
    A. They’ll replace printed newspapers and magazines
    B. They’ll still be more expensive than printed newspapers
    C. They’ll become a must in people’s daily life
    D. They’ll become more popular as time goes on

         Many students want to find friends on the Internet as a way of practising their language skills and learning
    more about new cultures. Traditional pen pals were the primary source for such contacts, and students could
    write each other letters. With the Internet, finding friends has become much easier, and such relationships are
    called key pals.
         However, care and consideration should be given when finding friends on the Internet:
         ◎Search the Internet for reputable (有信誉的) services. Look for reviews(评论) of such sites to learn more about other students' experiences. Don't join a service until you have done your research.
         ◎Check to see if you can use a nickname (绰号) instead of __________, to protect your identity(身份).
         ◎Never give personal information to anyone, including your home address, phone number, and birthday.
         ◎Stop contact with others if you feel uncomfortable with the topics of conversation. Again, if you protect
    your identity, this will be easier to do. Tell your teachers, parents, or even local law enforcement if problem
    arise.
         ◎Try to use the language you are studying in the classroom in your communication(交流) with others.
         ◎Ask proper questions that will also help you learn about other cultures. Remember that someone's
    personal experience might help you to understand a whole culture. You have to talk to many different people,
