My brother Tom was very selfish when he was little boy. He did not

want share things with other people. For example, when he bought a

chocolate cake, he put them in a secret place, that I couldn’t find. Then he ate

it all by himself. He never helped other. He said he is busy. In other words, a

game of tennis made him very busy. He did not care if something that he did

it made people angry. For instance, one night he played strongly and loud

music till four o’clock in the morning. But he is difference now. He often

helps grandma with houseworks, helps mom with cooking and helps his

classmates with their lessons.

Please look through the reviews as follows for movies that are showing at the moment. And then answer questions.

Happiness（Romance）☆☆☆☆

Happiness tells the story of two people（Lisa Turbot and Danny Roy）who work for different advertising companies. They talk on the phone all the time and don't like each other. But then they correspond by e-mail and fall in love. This movie will be very popular with teenagers and people who like romances. It also has beautiful music.

In I Scream, Paul（Colin Jacks）is a young man who joins a thriller club. Each of the members tries to frighten the others. Paul is told to stay in an old house for the night. Everyone who has tried to stay in the house before has died. This movie is very frightening but also quite silly. It doesn't make sense for Paul to stay in the house when things start to go wrong. Only for people who like thrillers.

Paul's Heroes（Comedy）☆☆☆

This is a very funny war movie set in World War Two. Six soldiers（including Sammy Turblow）have to get to Italy to take secret messages to the American army there. During the movie, they dress up as women and fight with Italian workers. You can guess the ending, but it's great fun getting there.

Now that most of you have a dream 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.

63. The main purpose of this text is        .

A. to persuade the students to attend lectures

B. to encourage the students to take part in discussions

C. to advise the students to choose proper majors

D. to help the students to learn about university life.

64. 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. require the students to read beyond the textbooks

D. prefer to use textbooks in their lectures

65. A discussion section does NOT include        .

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

B. working under the guidance of university professors

C. discussing the problems related to the students’ homework

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

66. According to the author, science majors        .

A. read and write less than non science majors

B. have to work harder than non science majors

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

D. consider experiments more important than discussions

Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good man­ners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good man­ners—people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.

I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You’re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.

As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public trans­port after 10 p. m. I used to use it, but now I’m afraid.

The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbour who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.

60. The writer doesn’t like London because she ______.

A. has lived there for seventeen years

   B. prefers to live in an old-fashioned house

 C. is not used to the life there now

D. has to be polite to everyone she meets there

61. Where do people usually meet their friends in England?

A. In a cafe.    B. In a pub.    C. In a restaurant.                D. In a nightclub.

62. The writer took her neighbour to France for Christmas because he ______.

A. had never been to France        B. was from a typical French family

C. didn't like the British idea of family       D. felt lonely in England                      

   When a big fat envelope came in the mail from the only college I had ever imagined attending, it was a warm April day. I tore open the packet. My eyes were fixed on the word “congratulations. ”I don’t remember ever smiling so wide.

    Then I looked at my financial（财政的）package.

    The cost of Dream School’s tuition（学费）, room and board was around $ 40,000- an impossible sum! How could I afford to attend? What good reasons did I have to go there when three other fine colleges were offering me free tuition? My other choices were good, solid schools even if they weren’t as famous as my first choice.

    In my mind, attending my dream university would be the only way to realize my dream of becoming a world-class writer. My parents understood how I felt. They told me that even though it would be a financial problem, I could go wherever I would be happiest. But as I was always careful with money, I wasn’t sure what to do.

    One of the schools that offered me a full ride had an informational dinner one night in the spring. Considering my parents’ financial difficulties, I decided to drive the 45 minutes and attend. At first, all I had planned to do was smile politely, eat free food, listen quietly. But I surprised myself.

    At dinner the president of the university talked about the wonderful activities on campus （校园）including guest lectures and social gatherings. He also made it perfectly clear that free food would be offered at all future events. He continued with explanations of professors, class sizes, activities, and sporting events on campus. As he spoke, I began to realize that this school, though not as good as my first choice, might be the best one for me. It seemed small yet with many great programs. It seemed challenging yet caring.

 56. How did the author feel when he started to read the letter?

     A. He was lost in his dream.  B. He was full of joy

 C. He was worried about the money.

D. He was uncertain which school to go to.

57. We can learn from the passage that the parents were _________.

      A. honest                    B. supportive      C. strict                      D. decisive

58. In Paragraph 5, “offered me a full ride” can be replaced by “_______”.

   A. would charge me nothing for tuition

      B. would pay for transport to the school

     C. would show me around the campus

     D. would offer free meals at all events

59. What does the author mainly want to say?

      A. You should consider comfort in your choice of schools.

   B. You should try your best to attend your dream school.

   C. Your second-choice college may actually be your best fit.

   D. Your choice of schools should be based on their fame.
