A popular student in her small high school, Katie started college, expecting to do well in her courses and be best friends with her roommates. But things didn’t turn out that way. Psych 101, the course she thought would be a first-semester favorite, turned out to be a struggle.
Living away from home tends to be the toughest adjustment for first-year students. You may feel homesick in your first weeks or months. It can help to call, write, or email your parents and friends, making them know how you’re going. You can also talk with your roommates. As first-year students themselves, they’re probably experiencing many of the same fears and worries that you’re dealing with .
But what if you don’t get along well with your roommates?
In some cases, it can be a good thing if you and your roommates aren’t much alike. Different views on things may be helpful, so respect your differences no matter what.
If you and your roommates don’t get along well, it can help to find someone who you feel does understand you, which should be easy on a campus with so many people. Many schools have student organization nights where all of the campus clubs gather and promote their organizations, so you can meet people with the same interests there as you. You’ll also meet tons of people in class or in your dorm building.
As homesickness, painful throats, sprained (扭伤的) ankles and wisdom teeth that act up are common among college students, you should check out your student guidebook or your school’s website to find out information about the university health center.
If you think you cannot deal with your problems, make a stop at the school counseling (咨询)center. First-year troubles are something the counselors know well. You can get help there.

Think about the different ways that people use wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills (风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.
For many centuries, people used windmills to grind (磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote (偏僻的) areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.
During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means high costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.
小题1:From the text we know that windmills _______.

A．were invented by Europeans armies

B．have a history of more than 2800 years

C．used to supply power to electric lights in remote areas

D．have rarely been used since electricity was discovered

小题2: What was a new use for wind power in the late 19^th century ?

A．Sailing a boat.	B．Producing electricity.
C．Grinding wheat into flour.	D．Pumping water from underground.

小题3:One of the reasons why wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that ______ .

A．wind power is cleaner

B．it is one of the oldest power sources

C．it was cheaper to create energy from wind

D．the supply of coal and gas failed to meet ends

小题4:What would the writer probably discuss in the paragraph that follows ?

A．The advantages of wind power.

B．The design of wind power plants.

C．The worldwide movement to save energy.

D．The global trend (趋势) towards producing power from wind.

“I’ve never met a human worth cloning,” says cloning expert Mark Westhusin from his lab at Texas A&M University. “It’s a stupid endeavor.”
That’s an interesting choice of adjective, coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone a 13-year-old dog named Missy. So far, he and his team have not succeeded, though they have cloned two cows and a cat.
They just might succeed in cloning Missy soon — or perhaps not for another five years.
Westhusin"s experience with cloning animals leaves him upset by all this talk of human cloning. In three years of work on the Missy project, using hundreds upon hundreds of dog"s eggs, the A&M team has produced only a dozen or so embryos carrying Missy"s DNA. None have survived the transfer to a surrogate（代孕的）mother. The wastage of eggs and the many spontaneously aborted(流产，发育不全) fetuses（胎）may be acceptable when you"re dealing with cats or bulls, he argues, but not with humans. “Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dangerous,” he says.
Even so, dog cloning is a commercial opportunity, with a nice research payoff. Ever since Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1996, Westhusin"s phone has been ringing with people calling in hopes of duplicating their cats and dogs, cattle and horses. “A lot of people want to clone pets, especially if the price is right,” says Westhusin. Cost is no obstacle for Missy"s mysterious billionaire owner; he"s put up $3.7 million so far to fund A&M"s research.
Contrary to some media reports, Missy is not dead. The owner wants a twin to carry on Missy"s fine qualities after she does die. The prototype（原型；雏形）is, by all accounts, athletic, good-natured and super-smart. Missy"s master does not expect an exact copy of her. He knows her clone may not have her temperament（气质、性情）. In a statement of purpose, Missy"s owner and the A&M team say they are “both looking forward to studying the ways that her clones differ from Missy.”
Besides cloning a great dog, the project may contribute insight into the old question of nature vs. nurture. It could also lead to the cloning of special rescue dogs and many endangered animals.
However, Westhusin is cautious about his work. He knows that even if he gets a dog pregnant, the offspring, should they survive, will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals: abnormalities like immature lungs and heart and weight problems~ “Why would you ever want to clone humans,” Westhusin asks, “when we"re not even close to getting it worked out in animals yet?”
小题1:By “stupid endeavor”, Westhusin means to say that ________.

A．human cloning is a foolish undertaking

B．animal cloning is absolutely impractical

C．human cloning should be done selectively

D．animal cloning is not worth the effort at all

小题2:What does the second paragraph tell us about Westhusin"s dog cloning project?

A．Its success is already in sight.

B．It is progressing smoothly.

C．It is doomed to utter failure.

D．Its outcome remains uncertain.

小题3:By cloning Missy, Mark Westhusin hopes to ________.

A．study the possibility of cloning humans

B．search for ways to modify its temperament

C．find out the differences between Missy and its clones

D．examine the reproductive system of the dog species

小题4:We learn from the passage that animal clones are likely to have ________.

A．a bad temper

B．defective（有缺陷的、有毛病的）organs

C．immune deficiency

D．an abnormal shape

小题5:What’s the best title of the passage?

A．Cloning of Missy

B．Scientist Says ‘No’ to Human Cloning

C．Human Cloning Is Dangerous .

D．Westhusin Is Cautious about Cloning

LONDON, England (CNN)—The youngest person to sail solo around the world returned home Thursday from his 30,000-mile, 282-day ocean journey. Mike Perham, 17, sailed into Lizard Point in Cornwall, the southernmost point in Britain, at 9:47 a.m., his race team said. "It feels absolutely brilliant," Mike told CNN by phone hours before crossing the finish line. "I"m really, really excited to be going across the line at last. It doesn"t feel like long since I crossed it first." Mike set off on his round-the-world trip on November 18, 2008. He has been sailing his yacht single-handedly, though a support team has been sailing next to him along the way. The teen has now achieved the title of Youngest Sailor to Circumnavigate the Globe Solo, according to the Guinness World Records. Mike learned how to sail when he was seven years old from his father, Peter and at age 14, he sailed across the Atlantic alone. The teenager"s school-which Mike describes as"highly supportive" of his trip-has redesigned his coursework to fit in with his trip. It also gave him some coursework to do during"quiet moments," according to Mike"s Web site. There haven"t been many of those quiet moments. Repeated autopilot failures forced him to stop for repairs in Portugal, the Canary Islands, South Africa, and twice in Australia, according to his Web site. Bad weather in the Southern Ocean-between Australia and Antarctica-forced Mike to battle 50ft waves and 57 mph winds. He said at one point, a "freak wave" picked up the boat and turned it on its side. "My feet were on the ceiling at the time," he told CNN. "That was a really hairy moment, and I was certainly thinking, "Why am I here?" But we took the sails off and the day after I thought, "This is brilliant!"" Mike describes his father as his biggest hero, always supportive of what he wanted to achieve. Peter Perham said he wasn"t too worried about his son facing dangerous situations at sea, as long as he knew what to do and stayed safe.
1. Mike Perham returned to Britain in ______.
[ ]
A. August B. September C. October D. November

BEIJING-The two-day visit to Washington has been heavy for British Prime Minister Gordon Brown as he attempts to improve ties with Washington and promote his international image ahead of the upcoming G-20 economic summit in London. Special Relationship Brown had been praising the "special relationship" between Britain and the United States before he traveled to Washington. "There is no international partnership in recent history that has served the world better than the special relationship between Britain and the United States," Brown said in an article in The Sunday Times of London. Such enthusiasm was quickly responded by Barak Obama, the new leader of the world"s largest economy. "The special relationship between the United States and Great Britain is one that is not just important to me, it is important to the American people," told reporters after meeting with Brown. Brown was the first European leader to meet Obama at the White House, and this might help the British leader make his image smooth among countrymen in a turbulent (动荡) time and put him in a better position to appear side by side with Obama at the April G-20 summit that will consider the international economic crisis. Global New Deal The talks between Brown and Obama were expected to focus mainly on measures to jump-start international economic growth in the most serious downturn in decades. Brown will first promote his "goal new deal" with Obama before taking the G-20 talks. The prime minister, who is chairing the G-20 gathering, has said he would push for deep adjustable changes and joint efforts from all of the world"s major economies, developed and developing, to correct financial rules and inspire the global economy. However, as pointed out by many analysts, there is the potential for bitterness between Britain and the United States. That"s because no small number of Britons believe themselves to be victims of a crisis which they say was set off by the United States. Meanwhile, analysts say it was unrealistic to expect another honeymoon for British-US ties as Obama seems to have attached more importance to the Pacific region than to Europe.
1. Brown paid the two-day visit to Washington in order to _____.
[ ]
A. improve the ties with the US and his image B. make Obama"s international image better C. congratulate Obama on coming into power D. prepare for the coming G-20 economic summit
2. The April G-20 summit will mainly focus on how _____.
[ ]
A. to solve the international energy crisis B. to solve the international economic crisis C. to relax current international tension D. to achieve the double-win goal lately
3. According to many analysts, there is the potential for bitterness between the UK and the US because _____.
[ ]
A. Obama is less friendly to Brown than Brown to Obama B. Obama hasn"t visited the UK yet as a new president C. Obama seems to have attached more importance to Europe than to the Pacific region D. many Britons believe themselves to be the victims of a crisis caused by the US
4. The underlined part in the last paragraph suggests that _____.
[ ]
A. Britons expect too much from Obama B. Britain and USA used to have close relationship C. the relationship between the two countries will break up D. Obama and the first lady will not spend their honeymoon in Britain
