Lindha was a student at Kansas State University. She is here to tell us about her time in Kansas in the city of Manhattan.
What were the best things about it?
Manhattan has a great university feel to it. I loved going to the football games. We would spend the whole day tailgating (开车尾派对) outside the stadium, drinking beer and having a big barbecue.
What do you think of the people there?
People from Kansas are so friendly. However, I'd say that many Kansans are very sheltered and don't pay much attention to life outside the US. But as the grandma of my Kansan friend might say, “We're still sweet as pie.”
What were the worst things about being there?
It's very difficult to get around Kansas without a car. Everything's so spread out and there isn't really a public transportation system.
What was the funniest thing that happened while you were there?
I remember one trip I took with my friend to her grandparents' house. They had horses and asked me if I wanted to go for a ride. I had never ridden a horse before but I decided to have a try. I hopped (跳上) on and everything was fine for a minute. But then the horse went crazy. It started bucking (猛然弯背跃起) and making these crazy noises. I thought I was going to die. My friend eventually calmed the horse down but not before I had destroyed an entire section of the fence. I thought they would be mad but they were just in shock — they couldn't believe I had stayed on the horse for that long.
Did you have any other problems?
I'm Swedish, but my English is pretty good because my dad's English. But it took a little while to get used to the accent. The people from the cities don't have a strong accent, but the people from the country are hard to understand sometimes. You also have to be careful with the weather. In the winter it was absolutely freezing, and during the summer it was so hot I thought I might die. Of course, they have heating and air conditioning everywhere.
1.What's Lindha's impression about people in Kansas?
A. They are kind but unhappy.
B. They are nice but isolated.
C. They are patient and amusing.
D. They are honest and generous.
2.What do we know about Lindha's horse riding experience?
A. She fell off the horse's back.
B. She finally got the horse under control.
C. She was brave but destroyed part of a fence.
D. She had a wonderful and unforgettable experience.
3.We learn from the text that Lindha _____.
A. doesn't like the weather in Kansas
B. speaks English with a Swedish accent
C. speaks highly of the transportation system in Kansas
D. doesn't like the school life in Kansas State University

This July, Wang Chen, a student from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, won the International University WEICHI Tournament 2013 in Shanghai, which saw competitors from 54 universities around the world, including Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Compared with the busy sports ground, it seems a bit dull, but Wang and his peers enjoy an intense brain workout(劳动). Wang is an amateur seventh-degree master player — the highest degree amateur players can attain. “I had hoped to win first place, but when it came true, I couldn’t believe it,” says Wang. Wang began studying weichi when he was 7 years old. “I was a quiet boy and my parents thought weichi would help develop my logical thinking ability,” he says. He began to attend the Chinese Rank Promotion from the age of 10. “I failed for nine years, and them I gave up. I entered university and became an amateur player,” says Wang.
What this hobby brings Wang is not only a sense of achievement, but also independence. He has won 10 national and international championships, which have brought the young student a handsome sum of money. When he won the national amateur competition in 2011, he received 100,000 yuan in prize money. With awards from contests, Wang covers his expenses and tuition fees all by himself.
Wang is busier than most of his peers. A look at his calendar shows that he will attend competitions in Guizhou and Taiwan at the end of August, after attending an international competition only this July. But Wang admits he has little in common with his classmates. “I feel a bit lonely sometimes,” he says.
On campus Wang spends more time on exploring his skills. Wang now regards playing weichi as a hobby. He is the captain of the weichi team on campus, which has five members. He organizes them to research the latest formations once a week. Wang says his next project is to promote weichi among his peers on campus. “Many young people in China don’t understand this kind of sports and I want to promote it,” says Wang.
1.What’s the best title of the passage?
A. The Achievement and Dream of the “Weichi Prince”
B. Wang Chen Won the International University WEICHI Tournament 2013
C. Weichi Brings Wang a Sense of Achievement and Independence
D. Wang Chen’s Life
2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. 54 countries attended the International University WEICHI Tournament 2013 in Shanghai.
B. Wang Chen began to attend the Chinese Rank Promotion from the age of 7.
C. In 2013, Wang Chen received 100,000 yuan in prize money.
D. Wang Chen has won 10 national and international championships nowadays.
3.What can we learn from this passage?
A. Family plays an important role in shaping world-rank players.
B. As long as you have the same loneliness as Wang Chen, you are sure to succeed.
C. Wang Chen doesn’t get on well with his classmates.
D. Perseverance helps to make a top player.

As a professor at a large American university, there is a phrase that I often hear from students: “I’m only a 1,050.” The unlucky students are speaking of the score on the Schoolastic Aptitude Test (SAT), which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice, or even if they have a chance to get a higher education at all. The SAT score, whether it is 800, 1,100 or 1,550, has become the focus at his time of their life.
It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores, then a great amount of their self-respect is put in the number. Students who perform poorly in the exam are left feeling that it is all over.The low test score, they think, will make it impossible for them to get into a good college. And without a degree from a prestigious university, they fear that many of life’s doors will remain forever closed.
According to a study done in the 1990s, the SAT is only a reliable indicator of a student’s future performance in most cases. Interestingly, it becomes much more accurate when it is set together with other indicators--like a student’s academic proficiency(学业水平).They will never be able to test things like confidence, efforts and willpower, and are unable to give us the full picture of a student’s potentialities. This is not to suggest that we should stop using SAT scores in our college admission process. The SAT is an excellent test in many ways, and the score is still a useful means of testing students. However, it should be only one of the many methods used.
1. The purpose of the SAT is to test students’ _________.
A. strong will
B. academic ability
C. full potentialities
D. confidence in school work
2. Students’ self-respect is influenced by their_______.
A. scores in the SAT
B. achievements in mathematics
C. job opportunities
D. money spent on education
3. “ A prestigious university” in para.2 is most probably _______.
A. a famous school
B. a technical school
C. a traditional school
D. an expensive school
4. The passage is mainly about_______________.
A. how to prepare for the SAT
B. stress caused by the SAT
C. American higher education
D. the SAT and its effects
5. What is the writer’s attitude towards the SAT?
A. Subjective
B. Objective
C. Critical
D. Approving
