    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 (喧嚣) of a few weeks, excitement gives way to a less enjoyable emotion—homesickness.

    Homesickness manifests (显露) 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.

    A. homesickness means a fond memory of the past

    D. homesickness is also called nostalgia in Switzerland

    3.The attitude of Sedikides towards homesickness is ________.

    A. negativeB. supportiveC. doubtfulD. critical

    4.What is the best title for the passage?

    On December 10th last year, we paid a visit to a high-tech agricultural garden. It took us one and a half hour to get there. The naturally environment there was very pleased, and we could breathe fresh air. The intelligent glass greenhouse, where many kinds of fruits and vegetables were growing there, was really amazing. Because it was very cold outside, the greenhouse controlling by a computer could provide a proper temperature. That was also very interesting to see so many colorful fruits and vegetables in the greenhouse which we have never seen before. Luckily, we allowed to taste some of the fruits and vegetables. We really had a good time and learned a lot over the visit.

    A man steps on what seems like solid ground but discovers with horror that the ground is giving way beneath his feet. The man struggles desperately, but he is trapped. He cannot escape. Slowly he sinks deeper and deeper until at last he is gone, buried in the treacherous earth. The solid ground was solid only in appearance. It was actually quicksand, which is a deep mass of fine sand mixed with water.

    How is quicksand formed? Water pushes up from below the surface and is held by the sand. The grains of sand are forced apart by the water. They cannot hold any weight. The subsurface water may have come from a spring, a river or a stream. Sometimes pools of water near beaches become filled with sand. When the soil under these pools does not allow for good drainage(排水), the sand can become stretches of quicksand.

    Is it true that a man who steps into quicksand is doomed to(注定) die? No, for men have fought their way from quicksand to firm land again. It is panic(恐慌) that creates the condition that can result in death, for the more a person struggles, the worse matters become. Quick movements will make the sand give way temporarily(临时地), but then it rushes and settles solidly around the body. A man trapped in quicksand should either lie back, or not move at all, except to stretch out his arms. When the weight of the sand his body has displaced equals his weight, he will stop sinking. With feet held still, and with slow movements of the arms, as in the backstroke in swimming men can manage to roll to safety and reach firm ground.

    1.What is quicksand?

    A. A piece of solid ground mixed with water.

    B. A pool near the beach filled with water.

    C. A deep mass of fine sand mixed with water.

    D. A piece of sinking land in the water.

    2.The underlined part “giving way” in the first paragraph probably means ________.

    A. shaking and moving

    B. allowing others to be first

    C. rising to the top

    D. breaking or breaking into pieces

    3.A person stops sinking when the weight of his body is ________ that of the sand his body has displaced.

    A. greater thanB. the same as

    C. half ofD. close to

    4.Men can manage to reach firm ground by ________.

    A. holding feet still and moving arms slowly

    B. lying back calmly and moving arms frequently

    C. stretching out arms and swimming quickly

    D. swimming quickly and moving arms slowly

    A student was one day taking a walk with his teacher. As they went along, they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path. They were a poor farmer’s, who was working in the nearby field.

    The student turned to the teacher, saying: “we will hide his shoes, and hide ourselves behind those trees, and wait to see what he will do.”

    “My young friend,” answered the teacher, “we should never make fun of the poor. Why not put a coin in each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch?” The student did so and they both hid themselves behind the trees. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes.

    After putting on his coat, he put his foot into one of his shoes, and felt something hard. Then he bent (弯腰) down to feel what it was, and found the coin. Surprised, he looked at the coin, turned it around and looked at it again. He then looked around, but no person was seen. He put the money into his pocket, and continued to put on the other shoe. His surprise was doubled on finding the other coin.

    He couldn’t control his feelings and fell to his knees, looked up to the sky and expressed his thanks. Then he spoke of his wife, sick and helpless, and his children without bread. He said the help would save them from dying.

    The student stood there deeply moved, and his eyes filled with tears. “Now,” said the teacher, “are you not much happier than if you had hidden the shoes?”

    1.When the student saw the shoes, he wanted to ________.

    A. steal them

    B. find their owner

    C. play a joke on the owner

    D. give the owner some money

    2.When the farmer saw the second coin, he ________.

    A. was very excited and grateful

    B. was worried and looked up at the sky

    C. was surprised and decided to find the owner

    D. spoke of his difficulties and asked for more help

    3.What can we learn from the passage?

    A. It is never too late to learn.

    B. All good things come to an end.

    C. Where there is a will, there is a way.

    D. True happiness comes from helping others.
