The UK has a well­respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world. But to those who are new to it all， sometimes it can be confusing.

October is usually the busiest month in the college calendar. Universities have something called Freshers’ Week for their newcomers. It’s a great opportunity to make new friends， join lots of clubs and settle into university life.

However， having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind， the prospect(前景) of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve­wracking(令人头痛的). Where do you start？ Who should you make friends with？ Which clubs should you join？

Luckily， there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you worrying about starting their university social life on the right foot. So just take it all in slowly. Don’t rush into anything that you’ll regret for the next three years.

Here are some top advice from past students on how to survive Freshers’ Week：

●Learn rules. Make sure you know British social manners. Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends.

●Be kind. Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in making friends.

●Be sociable. The more active you are， the more likely you’ll be to meet new people than if you’re someone who never leaves their room.

●Bring a doorstop. Keep your door open when you’re in and that sends positive messages to your neighbors that you’re friendly.

So with a bit of clever planning and effort， Freshers’ Week can give you a great start to your university life and soon you’ll be passing on your experience to next year’s new recruits.

1.Which of the following statements is FALSE according to the passage？

A.October is generally the busiest month for universities.

B.It’s a good idea to put a doorstop in your suitcase.

C.A bit of planning can make Freshers’ Week easier.

D.The first week of your every year at university is called Freshers’ Week.

2.The underlined word “recruits” in the last paragraph refers to 　　　.

A.courses  B.freshers  C.neighbors  D.challenges

3.We can infer from the 4th paragraph that 　　　.

A.the newcomers usually miss the days living at home

B.most of the students in the UK spend three years in universities

C.many freshers are worried about how to fit university life

D.all the new students will make new friends and join certain clubs

4.Why does the author suggest having wine glasses and snacks handy？

A.To pass the busy university life.

B.To help make friends with other freshers.

C.To show yourself a drinker as others.

D.To pass the time in a happy way.

5.The main purpose of the passage is to 　　　.

A.tell the newcomers how to make a new start in universities

B.introduce something about higher education system of the UK

C.discuss something about the Freshers’ Week in the UK

D.advise the freshmen how to behave well in universities

Recently, professor of philosophy (哲学)in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our daily life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life.

He says our relations with others often become dearly defined (清晰的）when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful relationship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn’t. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.

Since money is so important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book.

Question: What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich, because you are a self-made man?

Answer: The most surprising thing is how people give me so much respect. I am nothing. I don’t know much. All I am is rich.

People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modem society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.

1.According to the first paragraph, people have not realized　　　 .

A. how important money is in their daily life

B. how one spends money shows what is important to him

C. that money is more important than their philosophy of life

D. that their understanding of life is more important than money

2.The author seems to believe that asking your friend to lend you some money　　　　　 .

A. is a good way to test your friendship　　 B. will do harm to your friendship

C. will strengthen your friendship　　 D. is a good way to break off your friendship

3.The underlined phrase “enter the picture” in the second paragraph can be replaced by “　　　　　　 ”.

A. is used up　　 B. is spent on pictures

C. is paid in the right way　　 D. is paid attention to

4.What can we learn about the millionaire from his answer in the interview?

A. He doesn’t feel that he is well educated.

B. He doesn’t think he is a very important person.

C. He doesn’t consider himself to be very successful.

D. He doesn’t think that being rich deserves so much attention.
