my weekly class newsletter, grade papers and visit help others. i also do acts of kindness. i have put homemade smile cards in library books and also left money with a note at the reference desk to pay someones late fines. tonight, i attached a homemade smile card to a small bag of chocolates. as i walked into the library, i headed to my usual area near the reference desk and placed the bag on a table. i sat in a chair near the table and did some work. it was so interesting how quickly the library workers noticed! i heard some say “hey, did you see that?” as they pointed to the chocolate. the reference worker who i had given the money to pay fines was working there tonight. she noticed me and the familiar blue homemade rak card and was whispering to explain what i had done previously. for forty-five minutes, i would type and look up. it was interesting to watch as people slowed to read the card but kept going. i think many felt uncomfortable taking it because it was out in the open. i figured it might take some time, and then i was absorbed in grading papers. at the end of an hour and half, i packed up to get the girls. as i looked up, i noticed the chocolate was gone! how did i possibly miss someone taking it?then i was left wonderingman or woman, young or old, ill never know. but i do hope they enjoyed it, and im so glad they took it. as i usually do, i visited briefly with

so many of us look back at our own college years and realize what we could have done differently to make the most of them. while we cant go back, we certainly can offer our sons and daughters our best advice to help them make the right choices in college. hopefully, they will have fewer regrets than we do. following are five guidelines parents can share with their college-bound kids.education is firstas soon as you arrive on campus, there will be competing interests. feel free to check them out but always remember that you are there first and foremost for your education. go to class prepared and on time. be engaged during class. make sure your professor knows you and realizes that you care.be responsiblethere are many layers of responsibility. do what you say you will do and, if you cant, admit it early and communicate clearly. but being responsible isnt just about keeping your promise; it is also about taking care of you, your body, and your friends. for example, more than 1800 college students die annually from alcohol-related injuries. look out for yourself and other people. make sensible decisions so you wont worry about the consequences later.take the opportunityincredible opportunities will present themselves: studying abroad, trying new things. dont let fear prevent you from taking advantage of them. there may never be so much time or as many resources devoted to your improvement again in your life. say yes to opportunities that will help you grow.find and be a mentorsome of the best lessons available to us can come outside of the classroom in the form of a mentor(良师益友). one of the most powerful growth opportunities is being a mentor. early on, find someone on campus who you feel can help you grow and develop a relationship with him or her. also find someone for you to mentor. you will enrich your own learning experience by teaching someone else.get the job doneit is natural to occasionally feel you want to quit, when it makes more sense to you to go find a full-time job. resist that urge. as jocelyn negron-rios, a mother of two, who is completing her degree, advises, “no matter how difficult it seems, stick to it because however hard it feels now multiply that by 10,000 and that is how it feels when you are in your thirties with a full-time job and a family and are trying to pursue a degree.”44. according to the passage, the most important thing for college students is_.a. working hard to get a degree b. taking part in different activitiesc. seizing every chance to try new thingsd. improving themselves by learning from the others45. which of the following about college life is true?a. you can make full use of the opportunity whenever you want.b. make sure that you are responsible for yourself rather than others.c. professors will not assess your performances in class but the grades in exams.d. passing on what youve learned in college can enrich your learning experience.46. what can we infer from the words said by jocelyn in the last paragraph?a. youth is the best time to learn since you have less burden.b. persistence is the key to success in your learning process.c. it is better to gain more working experience before graduation.d. as long as you work hard, you can gain a degree even when you are 30.47. what is the main purpose of the passage?a. to give some rules for the college students.b. to analyze the benefits and difficulties of college life.c. to call on the students to make full use of college years.d. to summarize some tips for parents to share with their children.devery parent wonders whether a child is old enough to be left alone, and for the first few times we will worry if they will be safe on their own. parents are responsible for making sound judgments using common sense and their knowledge of their child and their abilities.the law does not order how old a child be before they can be left alone at home. however, the law does state that any child must have appropriate supervision or guardianship. how does a parent or guardian determine whether or not their child is old enough to leave at home alone?cathy coleman from the department of youth and family services of ocean county says her office is guided by certain rules in deciding if a child may be appropriately left alone. she also reminds us there are no established statewide standards and that each county has made its own standards that may vary from neighboring counties.ms. coleman says parents are responsible for making sound judgments using common sense and their knowledge of their child and his/her abilities. any child up to age eight or nine should never be left alone and neither should a child who is disabled or mentally handicapped. children up to the age of twelve still need some kind of caretaker. according to ms. coleman, even a sixteen-year-old should not be left alone for an entire weekend. parents should also take care when considering siblings as caretakers, especially those that do not get along well.many factors should be taken into consideration before the decision is made to let a child stay home alone. first, take the neighborhood into account. is it relatively safe? are there high crime areas nearby? is there a neighbor who can keep watch and be available for assistance if needed?the childs maturity(成熟) and age should also be part of the equation. is he/she responsible? do they know and practice proper safety guidelines set by parents? can they cook or operate machinery safely while alone?48. what does the author mainly tell in the passage?a. how old is enough for children to stay at home alone?b. why do some parents leave their children at home?c. how can a child love to stay at home in the holiday?d. where should a parent place his/her children? 49. what makes parents worried is _.a. whether their children are willing to stay aloneb. whether their children will have a free holidayc. whether their children are safe at homed. whether their children need help and support50. according to cathy coleman we can know that_.a. most states have laws about child being left at homeb. the government should establish statewide standardsc. neighboring counties should help each otherd. parents should take the primary responsibility51. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. many siblings
