Many students have already chosen whether or not to apply for Early Decision （ED）． The official deadline for most colleges and universities with an ED application is Nov 1st at 11：59 p．m．

Early Decision has risks． 1.However， ED comes with some nice perks （好处）．The two biggest advantages are：

1．Early notification （通知）． Students apply early and are notified early - usually by December 15．

2．A boost （提高）in acceptance． With just a little bit of research， you can find out the acceptance rate for students who apply normally and those who apply through ED． You might be surprised．2.

What questions do you need to ask before you make the ED choice？

First， consider academic fit． Are you satisfied with the amount of research you've done to make a four-year commitment （承诺）to this school？ Have you spent enough time on die college's website to understand the academic offerings？3.Do you think you'd struggle to keep up with the other students in class？

4.Are you sure you'll like the climate？ Is it the right size （not too big， not too small）？ Is the emphasis on sports， arts， culture， etc． right for you？ Do you like the surrounding area？ Is it enough to keep you entertained， or is it too overwhelming （难应付的）？

5.If you apply for Early Decision and are accepted， will you be able to attend if you are not offered any financial aid？ If the answer is "no" then you probably should reconsider applying through ED， because you will need to withdraw （撤回）your other applications if you are accepted．

A．Look at the social fit， too．

B．Also look at your finances．

C．Turn to your teachers for advice， too．

D．Do you think you're competitive academically？

E．Are you sure you can adapt to the new surroundings？

F．ED acceptance rates at some schools can be twice as high as the regular acceptance rates．

G．It means the student has agreed that if he or she is accepted to a school， he or she must attend it．

You have the ability to decide whether you are happy or not. Happiness is a choice.

You can’t depend on someone else to make you happy. That is a lesson I learned early in my marriage. I realized that I couldn’t rely on my husband as my source of happiness. I learned that my happiness depended on myself and not my husband’s actions. I learned that you have to choose to be happy.

You can choose your emotions. True happiness comes from within, and it can’t be forced by outside force. So how do you choose happiness? The same way, you choose to smile or choose to wear a certain outfit（一套衣服）. You choose it because that’s what you want to experience in you life.

You want to buy a new pair of shoes so you choose a pair that you like and feels good. You wouldn’t buy a pair of shoes that you don’t like or that doesn’t fit well, right? So why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings that don’t make us feel good?

Choosing to be happy after you realize your anger has shown up (or even choosing to be calm) can be beneficial. We choose our feelings; no one else can do that for us. If we let others get to us, influence our emotions — we are giving them power over us. When others cause us anger or pain, we are giving them our power.

We need to keep our feelings in check and not to react（反应） automatically to what is thrown at us. We need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what someone says or does.

Remember that we can always choose happiness. At first it will be difficult to just switch（使转变）your thoughts and feelings from anger, self-doubt, or fear to joy and happiness. But it is only a thought away. Don’t dwell on（细想） what happens to you unnecessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way. Realize that thoughts, feelings and emotions can change. Then move on and choose to be happy.

1. What’s the best title of this passage?

A. Pretend to Be Happy

B. Choose Your Emotions

C. Choose to Be Happy

D. Find Happiness

2. The lesson the writer learned in her marriage is ________ .

A. one can’t depend on someone else to make himself or herself happy

B. balancing the relationship between husband and wife is an art

C. she can depend on her husband to find happiness

D. happiness can be influenced by outside force

3.Why did the writer mention buying shoes?

A. To offer advice on how to choose comfortable shoes.

B. To use it as an example to illustrate（阐述）her point of view.

C. To compare choosing shoes and choosing an outfit.

D. To help move to the next paragraph easily.

4.The writer suggests that we should ________ .

A. let others control our feelings

B. respond immediately to others’ words

C. hold back our feelings properly

D. pay more attention to words than actions

If you move to a new school, you’ll have to worry whether or not you’ll make friends. Here are some simple suggestions which help you make new friends a lot easier.

Try speaking to the people next to you in class. As they’re close by, it makes sense to communicate with them first.

Have courage to speak to everyone in your class. You will probably stay with that class through your years at the new school, so it helps if you get on with them.

If you don’t have many friends in your class, try and make new friends in your subject lessons. You can also talk with them at lunchtime and after school.

Join a lunchtime or after-school club. You’ll get to meet kids of all years that way.

Ask your teacher to pair you with another pupil.

Use your celebrity status! Since you’re the new person, you’ll have gained celebrity status, which you can use for a couple of weeks. Talk to people, remember to smile and always be open and friendly. Listen carefully to what others have to say so as to make them feel important.

As you grow older, it’s natural to make new friends and sometimes that means you grow apart from your old friends. So try and make time for all your friends. Why not introduce your different sets of friends so you can all go to the cinema or bowling together?

But what if a friendship group is pushing you out? If this is happening to you, try and ask someone you’re friendly with what is happening. If the whole group is leaving you out, try to find new people to spend time with at lunchtime.

高一英语七选五中等难度题查看答案及解析

By the time a student starts to apply (申请) for a US university, much of his or her record, including grades and after-school activities, has been set in stone. For this reason, the student must in his or her first year of high school start getting ready for college. He or she also has to decide on the non-academic (非学业的) tasks, which are important to improve the student’s chances of getting in.

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 are 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.

1.Who was the article written for?

A. US college students hoping to study in China.

B. Chinese college students hoping to study in the US.

C. Third year high school students hoping to study in the US.

D. Teenagers hoping to study in the US.

2.The underlined phrase "set in stone" in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.

A. made clear                                        B. something unchangeable

C. become obvious                             D. at the right level(水平)

3.The author’s suggestion is to ______.

A. try as many different organizations as possible

B. start planning for college at the beginning of high school

C. make everything in an application consistent

D. put non-academic tasks before academic tasks

4.According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Students should choose after-school activities they have great interest in.

B. It’s already too late for first year students to apply for a US university.

C. It is necessary for a student to be a president if he/she is to apply for a US university.

D. Students should concentrate on just one activity in high school.
