14.The UK has a well-respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world.But to those who are new to it all,sometimes it can be confusing.
October is usually the busiest month in the college calendar.Universities have something called Freshers'Week for their newcomers.It's a great opportunity to make new friends,join lots of clubs and settle into university life.
However,having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind,the prospect (前景) of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve-wracking (令人焦虑不安的).Where do you start?Who should you make friends with?Which clubs should you join?
Luckily,there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you worrying about starting their university social life on the right foot.So just take it all in slowly.Don't rush into anything that you'll regret for the next three years.
Here are some top advice from past students on how to survive Freshers'Week:
●Learn rules.Make sure you know British social etiquette (礼节).Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends.
●Be kind.Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in making friends.
●Be sociable.The more active you are,the more likely you'll be to meet new people than if you're someone who never leaves his room.
●Bring a doorstop.Keep your door open when you're in and that sends positive messages to your neighbors that you're friendly.
So with a bit of clever planning and effort,Freshers'Week can give you a great start to your university life and soon you'll be passing on your experience to next year's freshers.

点评 报道类文章一般由标题(Head line),导语(Introduction),背景(Back ground),主体(Main body)和结尾(End)五部分构成.标题是文章中心思想高度而又精辟的概括,但根据历年的高考情况来看,这类阅读理解材料一般不给标题,而要同学们选择标题.导语一般位于整篇文章的首段.背景交待一个事实的起因.主体则对导语概括的事实进行详细叙述,这一部分命题往往最多,因此,阅读时,同学们要把这部分作为重点.结尾往往也是中心思想的概括,并与导语相呼应,命题者常在此要设计一道推理判断题.在进行推理判断时,同学们一定要以阅读材料所提供的科学事实为依据,同时所得出的结论还应符合基本的科普常识.
