Section I Lead-inSection II ReadingText A What to Expect from College LifeBackgroundTypes of Colleges in the U.S. If youre planning to study in the U.S., you have a number of choices when it comes to pick your college. There are many types of schools, each having its own mission and purpose within American education.Two-year colleges Two-year institutions, which are typically referred to as community or junior colleges, award the associate degree Associate of Arts (A.A.) or Associate of Science (A.S.) following successful completion of a two-year, full-time program. There are two basic types of programs at community and junior colleges. Some programs are strictly academic and designed to prepare students to transfer to four-year institutions with bachelors degree programs. Others are more practical or applied and provide career training in specific areas. This second type of school does not usually prepare students for transfer to a four-year institution, though some of the credits earned may still be accepted by a four-year institution. A small number of two-year colleges offer the final two years of the undergraduate program only, awarding the bachelors degree rather than the associate degree. Most community and junior colleges are publicly supported by the state and local communities, although some are private. Some private two-year colleges are proprietary or run for a profit.Four-year colleges and universities The college or university (sometimes called an institute when it emphasizes engineering or other technical courses) awards the bachelors degree. The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees are the most common, but a variety of bachelors degrees by other names are also granted. Bachelors degrees are typically awarded following successful completion of a four-year, full-time program. Programs in some fields of study or at some institutions can be longer than four years. There are both public and private colleges and universities in the United States, and some have an affiliation with a religious denomination.Public versus private Publicly supported schools are generally state colleges or universities or two-year community colleges. These institutions receive most of their funding from the states in which they are located. Private schools generally have higher costs because they do not receive the same primary funding from the state and federal government. Colleges and universities with religious affiliations are private. Most of them are Christian (Roman Catholic and Protestant), although there are a small number of Jewish and Islamic institutions. In most cases, you do not need to be a member of a particular church or religious group to attend a religiously affiliated college and enrollment in these institutions will not usually interfere with your own religious views.Privately owned colleges Proprietary institutions are different from other types of schools in that they are privately owned and run for a profit. They are educational businesses that offer services and courses similar to those at other institutions, but you need to be very careful and research their accreditation status. Their programs tend to be technical and pre-professional courses of study. Almost all the colleges in the United States are now coeducational, which means that both men and women attend. There are also a small number of single-sex schools, some for men and some for women. Faculty, administration, and staff members will likely be of both sexes at any college.Words and Expressionsa little bit有点v He was a little bit under the weather.v 他生病了。v Helen sings a little bit worse. v 海伦唱得稍微差一点。v Can you try and persuade the supplier to boost the quantity a little bit? v 能否请您去说服供货商稍微增加点供货呢?expect v. regard something as probable or likely 预期,盼望,期待v The journey was not as nice as we had expected.v 旅途不像我们预想的那样好。v I expect I will be back on Sunday. v 我预计我会在周日回来的。Phase n. any distinct time period in a sequence of events局面,阶段v The child is going through a difficult phase. v 那孩子正经历困难的阶段。support oneself 通过做某一种工作养活自己v She supported herself by making soil. v 她靠种地为生。adjust to 适应, 调节v Could I adjust to Chinese life at 72? v 岁的我能适应中国的生活吗?v After Nigel left his academic post and went into business, it took him quite a while to adjust to the rat race. v 奈杰尔弃学从商后,过了很长时间他才适应那种竞争激烈的环境。v Astronauts in flight must adjust to weightlessness. v 宇航员在飞行中必须适应失重状态。stand on ones own feet 自立,依靠自己v We should learn to stand on our own feet.v 我们要学习依靠自己。v You should learn to stand on your own feet from now on. v 从现在起,你应该学着自立了。v This expressed their determination to stand on their own feet.v 这表达了他们自立更生的决心。hardship n. a state of misfortune or affliction艰难,困苦v A strong man will bear hardship without complaining.v 一个坚强的人会忍受困苦而不抱怨。v Mountaineering is attractive especially to young people because it is accompanied with hardship and adventure. v 登山很吸引人,特别是对年轻人来说,因为它伴随着艰难险阻。v Hardship disposes man to meet adversity.v 艰苦能让人适应逆境。Challenge n.挑战 ;v. 向.挑战v This career offers a challenge. v 这份职业具有挑战性。v The time was ripe for a challenge to the power of the government.v 时机已经成熟,可以向政府权力提出挑战了。v Nowadays no one will challenge the fact that the earth is round. v 现在没有人会对地球是圆的这一事实提出异议。in ones favor 对某人有利v That might be in your favor. v 那可能对你有利。v in favor of赞成v Are you in favor of his opinion? v 你会赞成他的意见吗?v do sb. a favor 帮忙v Sandy, do me a favor. v 桑迪,给我帮个忙v Can you do me a favor? v 可以请你帮点忙吗?peer n. a person who is of equal standing with another in a group同等的人;同辈v The opinions of his peers are more important to him than his parents ideas. v 在他看来,他同辈人的观点比他父母的观点更为重要。take on 承担,接受v The idea never really took on. v 这一观念一向不太得人心。v We cant take on any more work, were fully stretched (ie working to the utmost of our powers) at the moment. v 我们不能再接受更多的工作了目前已经全力以赴了.count on 依靠,指望v You can count on me. v 你可以指望我。v Great, Ill count on it! v 好极了,我就指望它了!v You can always count on Jim. v 你可以永远相信吉姆。face up勇敢地承认, 正视v He wont face up to the fact that he is too old for the job. v 他年岁太大不宜做这项工作,他却不愿面对这一现实。v He must face up to the fact that he is no longer young. v 他应该勇于正视自己不再年轻这一事实。make the most of充分利用 v We shall make the most of the opportunity. v 我们应充分利用这一机遇。v These photos make the most of the beauty of the morning in the mountains. v 这些照片将山中早晨的美景表现得淋漓尽致。acquire v. come into the possession of something concrete or abstract获得,取得,学到 v The collector has acquired a fine collection of impressionist paintings.v 这位收藏家收集到大量印象派绘画。v How did he acquire his wealth?v 他的财富是怎样得来的?Precious a. of high worth or cost宝贵的,珍贵的n My time is precious; I can only give you a few minutes.n 我的时间很宝贵,我只能见你几分钟。n You should make good use of every precious minute to study. n 你应很好利用宝贵的每一分钟去学习。n Pandas are precious creatures. n 熊猫是珍贵的动物。Translation1. 他总是乐于助人,作为回报,大家都喜欢他。(in return)He was always ready to help others, in return, he wasliked by everyone.2. 我们不能再接受更多的工作了。(take on)We cant take on any more work. 3. 那是他们唯一依靠的东西。(count on)That was the only thing they could count on. 4. 他把自己仅有的一点力量全使出来了。(make the most of)He makes the most of the little he has. 5. 72岁的我能适应中国的生活吗?(adjust to) Could I adjust to Chinese life at72?
