| 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. And her roommates were as different from Katie as the student restaurant" s mystery meat was from her mom" s roasted pork. 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 doing. 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 they are. 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. | ||||||

| Tips for a Green Vacation Ah, summer is almost upon us, and that means most American families are longing madly to get out of town for a week. Never mind that the economy is in the tank, or that you"ll use just under half of your vacation days at once-it"s time to go to the beach! But wait....before you put the kids in that minivan (小面包车) and speed off: there"s a greener way. Don"t Travel as Far In one of those special instances where environmentalism saves you a ton of money, the simplest piece of advice is to stay close to home, or, even stay at home, which most Americans aren"t likely to follow: if you live in a major city, there are probably loads of museums, parks, baseball games, and restaurants that you haven"t been to. But if you MUST travel-try to stay within 100-150 miles from home. Your wallet, and the planet, will thank you. Find a Green Hotel This may seem like a strange task, but it"s not-check the environmentally friendly hotels. They"re standing ready to assist in your eco-traveling and committed to reducing waste on the planet. Take the Train Rail travel isn"t quite dead in the U.S.,which is good, because it features some of the lowest pollution of any form of transport. In order of most polluting, it goes: airplanes, cars, trains, and coach buses-but I don"t believe many people think of Creyhound (美国灰狗巴士) as a good way to get around anymore. Buy Local Souvenirs This is hard, seeing how we"re nationally addicted to plastic toys, but buy local goods when you travel. Supporting a local artist doesn"t just do more for the economy of the place that you"re visiting, and it also cuts the cost of transporting all of those mass-produced souvenirs. And besides, taking home art, or cooking ingredients from a place you can"t get at home, is far more interesting. | ||||||
| 1. What does the underlined phrase "in the tank" mean? | ||||||
| A. In good situation. B. Decreasing rapidly. C. Increasing rapidly. D. In a dilemma. | ||||||
| 2. We may infer from the passage that the greenest way to enjoy one"s summer vacation is to ____. | ||||||
| A. stay at home B. get out of town C. go to the beach D. find a green hotel | ||||||
| 3. According to the passage, ____ are the least polluting form of transport. | ||||||
| A. airplanes B. trains C. cars D. coach buses | ||||||
| 4. Buying local souvenirs cannot ____. | ||||||
| A. support local artists B. do more for the local economy C. save a ton of our money D. cut the cost of transporting all of those mass-produced souvenirs | ||||||

| If you want to teach your children how to say sorry, you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to your own children. But how you say it can be quite tricky. If you say to your children "I am sorry I got angry with you, but .."what follows that"s but" can make the apology ineffective. "I had a bad day" or "your noise was giving me a headache" leaves the person who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior in expecting an apology. Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say "I"m sorry you"re upset"; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done. Then there is the general, all-covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again. Saying "I"m useless as a parent" does not commit a person to any specific improvement. These pseudo-apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness. Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not resort to these pseudo- apologies. But even when presented with examples of genuine contrition (悔悟), children still need help to become aware of the complexities of saying sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology. A six- year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children"s expectations can require an apology. A 12-year-old might need to be shown that raiding the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parent"s clothes without permission is not. | ||||||
| 1. According to the author, "tricky" means ____. | ||||||
| A. simple B. complicated C. cautious D. various | ||||||
| 2. It is not advisable to use the general, all-covering apology because ____. | ||||||
| A. it is only an empty promise B. it is not necessary C. it is neither clear nor effective D. it is hurtful and insulting | ||||||
| 3. In teaching children to say sorry ____. | ||||||
| A. parents should set them a good example B. parents should be patient and tolerant C. the significance of it should be involved D. their ages should be taken into account | ||||||
| 4. According to the passage, apologizing properly is ____. | ||||||
| A. a social issue calling for immediate attention B. a big problem faced by every family C. a sign of social progress D. not as simple as it seems | ||||||

| The survey showed that the top choice for both parents and teens was to go out for a family meal. This is ideal for those who don"t have much time to spare because the occasion can be made to feel special while the whole family can stay together for a couple of hours or less. Make sure that everyone has a say in where they"d like to eat. In case you don"t go to one person"s suggested restaurant this time then avoid disputes by suggesting you to there another day. The second favorite choice for spending quality time was to go on a family holiday. This can be one of the most effective ways to engage with your teen in a fun and relaxing setting away from the distractions (使人分 心的事) of normal daily life. What"s more, you"ll return home with shared memories to cherish forever. If you"re looking for something slightly less expensive and time-consuming than a holiday, plan a day trip instead. Day trips were considered by more teenagers than parents. in the survey as a good way to spend quality time. Unsurprisingly, more teens than parents also said that they"d like to go to a theme park. But if the thought of roller coasters and long queues leaves you feeling uncomfortable, perhaps consider a day out to another town or city, going shopping or catching a movie at the cinema instead. If you"ve got a sporty teen, try taking part in physical activity with him. Whatever it takes to get your blood pumping, having fun will be well worth it. Although if you"re rather athletically challenged, try something a bit more sedate, like bowling (保龄球). Also, energetic and curious teens often enjoy outdoor activities, such as camping, so why not put yourself to the challenge and see where the spirit of adventure takes you both? But don"t worry if the thought of such exertion (努力) makes either of you break out in a cold sweat. Time spent one-on-one at home just enjoying each other"s company can be equally-if not more-valuable as any other. | ||||||
| 1. .If you plan to eat out, it is better ____. | ||||||

| A. rough B. tiring C. adventurous D. quiet | ||||||

| A. Staying with kids in any way benefits. B. You needn"t worry about being with kids. C. Too much worry does harm to your health. D. Time spent one-on-one is the most precious. | ||||||
