Since many of you are planning to study at a college or university in the future, you may be curious to know what your future study will be like. This is the question I want to discuss with you today.
First, let’s talk about what your weekly timetable 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 in a lecture is often different from that 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 part 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 parts
If your major is chemistry, or physics, or another science, you’ll also have to spend several hours a week in the lab 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.
4. Which of the following is important for students to do according to the passage?
A. Reading just the textbooks. B. Taking notes in lectures.
C. Spending 5 days attending lectures. D. Getting on well with classmates.
5. What is not included in a discussion part?
A. Working with the help of university professors.
B. Asking questions about a lecture.
C. Talking over what the students have read.
D. Discussing the problems about homework.
6. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To help students learn about university study.
B. To persuade students to attend lectures.
C. To encourage students to take part in discussions.
D. To advise students to choose proper majors.
C
It’s common knowledge that there are many benefits to being fit, but one large new study found that skipping out on the gym is practically the worst thing you can do for your health. In fact, the study claims not exercising might be more harmful to your health than smoking.
New findings, published Friday in the journal JAMA Network Open, detail how researchers at the Cleveland Clinic studied 122,007 patients from 1991 to 2014, putting them under treadmill (跑步机) testing and later recording death rates. Researchers found a clear connection between a longer, healthier life and high levels of exercise. The report calls for health care professionals to encourage patients to achieve and continue a strong and healthy fitness routine.
Although it is widely understood that an active lifestyle can lead to a healthy life, the study concludes that a lifestyle which involves much sitting but little activity is equal to having a major disease and the simplest cure is exercise.
Dr Wael Jaber, co-author of the study, called the results totally surprising. “Being unfit on a treadmill or in an exercise stress test has a worse prognosis (病情预断), as far as death, than being a smoker or suffering from high blood pressure,” Jaber told CNN. “We’ve never seen something as noticeable as this and as objective as this.”
The study also took a look at the risk of being overactive and found that extreme exercisers do not face higher risk of death: the research found that the more a person exercises the lower their death rates.
7. Which of the following best explains “skipping out on” in paragraph 1?
A. keeping away from B. running in C. jumping out of D. smoking inside
8. What do we know from the new findings?
A. An active lifestyle can lead to a healthy life.
B. The simplest cure for a major disease is exercise.
C. A person unfit on a treadmill is less likely to die.
D. One’s life span(长度) is related to the level of exercise.
9. What does Jaber think of the research results?
A. Impossible. B. Amusing. C. Unbelievable. D. Uncertain.
10. What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph?
A. Too much exercise will be no good.
B. A low death rate depends on an active lifestyle.
C. Extreme exercise is more harmful for health.
D. The rise of death rate is related to exercise.

Apologizing the Right Way to a Friend
Why are apologies so difficult? Saying you are sorry can be one of the most difficult things you do. But we all make mistakes, so you'll probably have an occasion when you need to apologize.
Perhaps you had a big blow up and realized later you reacted poorly. 11 Whatever the reason, apologizing can help you both heal and move on from the situation.
12 . First, you acknowledge that you did something wrong. With an apology, you take responsibility for your actions, which allows your friend to forgive you. Second, an apology gives you sincerity as a friend. 13 , but that doesn't t mean you still shouldn't apologize.
Now, what are elements of a proper apology? 14 ,depending on what the offense was, where it was done, and who you are apologizing to.

"I'm sorry" or "I apologize."
Here are things never to say when apologizing. Note that the art of apologizing involves taking responsibility. Never apologize as a way to "shut someone up" when they are saying you hurt their feelings and you don't think you did. 15 ,you should talk things through with your friend until you see why they are hurt or how you came across. You'll really need to self-reflect so you can see things from your friend’s point of view.
A. When you make your apology in person
B. If you really believe you did nothing wrong
C. Apologies benefit friendships in a variety of ways
D. The way you apologize is going to be slightly different
