         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 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 lab, or 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

    　　“Privacy” is translated as“yin si”in Chinese. Traditionally, in the Chinese mind,“yin si”is associated with that which is closed or unfair. If someone is said to have“yin si”, meddlers (好事者) will be attracted to pry(打探)into his or her affairs. So people always state that they don't have“yin si”.

    　　On the contrary, Americans often declare their intention to protect their privacy. Their understanding of privacy is that others have no right to pry into things which belong to themselves alone and have nothing to do with others. One who is too curious and who spreads rumors is said to violate the right to privacy.

    　　In the evening, Sonia and I went to a bar for dinner. In China, when people mention bars, something bad usually comes to mind. But here, the bar was a quiet and tastefully laid out place. People spoke quite softly, afraid of interrupting their neighbors, and sat face to face as they drank, sometimes three or five persons sitting together.

    　　This sort of atmosphere was totally different from my preconception(传统观念), so I wanted to take a picture. Sonia stopped me:“Don't you see these people are pouring out their hearts? Maybe they are colleagues, friends, secret lovers. They came here looking for a peaceful place free from interruption by others. They wouldn't want to leave any trace of their having come here. So taking their pictures would be a serious violation of their right to privacy.”

    　　Is there privacy between husband and wife? One of Sonia's friends married a talented Chinese man, but recently she became so angry that she wanted a divorce(离婚). The reason was that her husband had opened one of her letters and looked through her purse. The husband didn't realize that this is not tolerated in the U.S. He thought that being a couple was like being one person; why couldn't he see the letter or the contents of the purse? Truly, everyone, even those living as a couple, needs room--not only in three-dimensional(三维) space, but in the heart.

    1．What is the main idea of the text?

    [　　]

    A．The understanding of“privacy”is different in China and America.

    B．There is privacy between husband and wife in America.

    C．Everyone has the right to privacy.

    D．Everyone in every country needs room for himself.

    2．Sonia stopped me when I wanted to take a picture in the bar because _____.

    [　　]

    A．taking pictures in a bar was not allowed in America

    B．taking pictures in a bar would interrupt the neighbors

    C．people who came here are colleagues，friends or secret lovers

    D．taking pictures in a bar would violate other people's right to privacy

    3．One of Sonia's friends wanted a divorce because _____.

    [　　]

    A．she thought her husband was not clever enough

    B．her husband always opened her letters

    C．her husband always looked through her purse

    D．her husband didn't respect her right to privacy

    4．Which of the following statements is NOT the Americans' understanding of privacy?

    [　　]

    A．Privacy is connected with something that is unfair and bad.

    B．Other people have no right to pry into his or her affairs.

    C．There is privacy even between couples.

    D．The right to privacy shouldn't be violated by others.

    5．According to this text, we can infer that in America we can do all the following except _____.

    [　　]

    A．declaring that we have privacy

    B．going to a bar with friends

    C．asking your friends about their marriage

    D．taking pictures in a national park

    A
    When I worked in Swaziland, one day we went to an orphanage. There we found a beautiful little girl named Tanzile. I gave her a sweet and she said something back to me in Si-swati, which the nurse next to me translated, “She wants another one — to give to her little sister.” I said “of course”. When we were going to leave, we passed by Tanzile’s house to say goodbye. To our surprise she seemed to be holding on to that extra sweet I had given her. I remember saying to the nurse “this little darling is clever — she has taken two for herself.”
    But the nurse told us, “Tanzile is 7 now. Two years ago her mum and dad both died of AIDS. She was separated from her sister who was three at the time. Tanzile has not laid eyes on her since. But from then on whenever Tanzile receives anything from anyone, including food — she refuses to accept it, unless they give her two.” In fact, in the little mud hut where she lives, we find a pile of old things which she has been collecting to give to her sister one day.
    People sometimes look at faces of African children and think that they are somehow different from our kids — that somehow they don’t feel pain or love. But that is not true. Their pain is deep. And so is their love. I can still remember the nurse trying to convince her that “if someone gives you food, you must accept it — even if it is only one piece and not two — for your own health.” And it was so hard for us to keep the tears from our eyes as she shook her head. Her hope and her love was all that she had. It mattered more than anything else. When I returned home that day, I was shocked to find that this was not an isolated story but others in the hospital knew of orphans just like Tanzile — waiting with a little pile of things in their hut, for their lovers who they haven’t seen so long.
    I think of that old song — “when we’re hungry, love will keep us alive.”
    56． From the passage we can learn Tanzile__________.
    A. is very clever        B. knows her sister has died
    C. has stored a lot for her sister       D. doesn’t like sweets
    57． How old was her sister when the author met with Tanzile?
    A. Three years old.    B. Four years old.
    C. Five years old.     D. Six years old.
    58． What has the author learned from her experience in Africa?
    A. Love is more important in life than anything else.
    B. African children are different in a way.
    C. African children should be treated fairly.
    D. We should express our love in time.
    59． The best title for the passage would be __________
    A. Give every child two sweets      B. Tanzile’s love for her sister
    C. One for my sister               D. Change your attitude to African children
