1. After-school activities
When it comes to high school activities, quality is better than quantity (数量). Admissions (录取) officers do not want to see a student who has joined dozens of organizations (组织) for a short period of time.
Many students try to do this towards the end of their high school. But schools want to see a student who has been with one organization for all or most of high school. A student who can do this shows maturity (成熟). It is the quality that admissions officers look for as it is one of the markers of future success.
2. Leadership
Schools want to see a student who has taken on a leadership role in an organization. A student can show leadership by taking on any role that needs extra commitment (奉献) and responsibility.
If you do not have a great title (头衔) such as president, be sure to explain any leadership roles you have taken. This kind of involvement (参与) in school activities shows you a
re the responsible person that admissions officers look for.3. Consistency (一致性)
Admissions officers like an application (申请) to be consistent. For example if there is a high school activity you particularly (特别地) love, it would help if that activity matches your future academic and career interest.
Of course not everything needs to be consistent. Otherwise (否则) the student would be narrow and this is not what schools are looking for. However, you cannot have different parts of your application saying conflicting (矛盾的) things.

41 , she brought a gift, a golden 42 made of golden wrapping paper to me the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy.” I was 43 of my earlier hurting words, but my anger rose again when I found out the box was 44 . I shouted at her, “Don’t you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside?” She 45 at me with tears in her eyes and cried, “Oh, Daddy, it’s not empty at all. I blew 46 into the box. They’re all for you, Daddy.”
I was completely 47 . I put my arms around her and begged for her 48 . A year later, a serious 49 took the life of my daughter.

American men who go online are more likely than women to check the weather, the news, sports, political and financial information, the Pew Internet and American Life Project reported Wednesday. They are also more likely to use the Internet to download music and software and to take a class.
Online women, meanwhile, are bigger users of e-mail, and they are also more likely to go online for religious information and support for health or personal problems.
“For men, it’s just, ‘give me the facts,’” said Deborah Fallows, who wrote the report based on six years of Pew surveys, “For women, its ‘Let’s talk about this. Are you worried about this problem?’ It’s keeping in touch and connecting with people in a richer way.”
About two- thirds of the 6,403 adults surveyed by Pew during 2005 said they use the Internet. By gender, it was 68%of the male respondents, and 66%of the female participants---a statistically insignificant(不重要的)difference given the study’s margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2%points. In 2002, by contrast, the gap was slightly larger: 61%vs. 57%.
The surveys find that for many activities, such as getting travel information or looking up a phone number, men and women are equally likely to use the Internet.
小题1: According to the passage, which of the following is not what American men who go online do?

| B．There is a slight difference between the numbers of men and women online in the US. |
| C．Men and women in the US have difference tastes about what they do online. |
| D．Men and women in the US have difference way of surfing the Internet. |
| A．A small part of women in the US go on line today. |
| B．Women in the US going on line are only concerned with personal problems. |
| C．Men are still more likely to use the Internet than women. |
| D．The gap between both sexes going online in 2002 was slightly larger than that in 2005. |
| A．To tell us the different aims of men and women in the US who go online. |
| B．To show why men and women are equally likely to use the Internet. |
| C．To teach us how to surf the Internet. |
| D．To offer us some information of both sexes’ going online in the US. |
In recent years, many office supply companies have begun to sell adjustable desks．These so-called "sit / stand" models are equipped with an electric motor that lets them shift from chair height to person height at the push of a button．Unfortunately, sit / stand desks tend to be expensive, hard to find and not very easy to test in person．
I discovered that when I worked standing up, my mind was clearer and new ideas kept coming to me．I suspect that this is because when you"re standing, you feel a bit unchained from your desk．If I got stuck on a word or sentence as I wrote it, I found myself shaking my arms, bouncing （跳） on my feet or stepping away from the desk for a bit — things I couldn"t do in a chair．Often, standing up seemed to relax my mind enough for me to get over creative barriers．
There"s another thing about standing for a long time: I tend to get hungrier than I do when I sit on a chair．That feels like confirmation（证实） of the stand-up advocates’ belief that you burn more calories when you stand than when you sit．For this reason alone, I" m hoping that one day mass-market furniture companies can make many low-priced versions of sit / stand desks．We could all work with a bit more standing up．
小题1:The author likes standing up while working because __________．
| A．he wants to show that he has a lot of courage |
| B．researchers say standing makes one healthier |
| C．he intends to catch up the fashion trend |
| D．he hopes to improve his work and relax himself |
| A．adjustable desks are mass-produced now |
| B．adjustable desks are easy to operate |
| C．cheaper adjustable desks will soon be available |
| D．adjustable desks can be tried out easily |
| A．Standing up at work is a better choice． |
| B．Standing up at work takes courage． |
| C．Standing up at work burns more calories． |
| D．Standing up at work will replace traditional sitting． |
38 at home, a different story is told---how we 39 our loved ones. While I was cooking ,my daughter came up to me quietly. When I 40 , I nearly knocked her down. "Get out of the way! "I barked She ran away, with her little heart broken. I didn"t realize how 41 I"d spoken.
That night, as I lay 42 in bed, God"s quiet voice spoke to me and said, "While 43 with a stranger, you"re calm and polite, but with those you love, you"re quick to 44 . Go and look right now on the kitchen floor. You"ll 45 some flowers there by the door. Those are the flowers she brought for you. She 46 them herself. She stood there _ 47 , not to spoil your surprise, and you never saw the tears in her eyes." 48 this time, I felt sad and my own tears had begun to 49 . "Are these the flowers you picked for me?" I asked. She 50, "I found them out by the tree. 1 knew you"d like them." I said, "I"m so sorry that I 51 them today. And I shouldn"t have shouted at you that way." She whispered, “Mommy, that"s okay... I still love you 52 .” I hugged her.
Are you aware that if you die tomorrow, the company that you are working for could easily 53 you in a matter of days? But the family you leave behind will feel the 54 for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we 55 more into our work than into our families –an unbalanced investment (投资) indeed.
