university tuition in england and the falling percentage of applicants offered places, one british school is giving its students some surprising advice. by any measure hockerili is one of the most successful schools in britain. named last month as one of the governments flagship academies, its students regularly come at or near the top of exam results for the entire country, outperforming such famous names as eton or harrow. but unlike those private schools, where fees can exceed 28, 000 or 45, 000 a year, hockerill, in the hertfordshire town, is a state comprehensive, which charges no tuition fees and is forbidden from selecting its students on the basis of academic ability. and while a third of hockerills 830 students are boarders, they are chosen on the basis of need rather than ability to pay. so when the schools principal heard of government plans to raise university tuition fees in england to 9, 000 a year, he decided to make use of the schools international focus. urging his students to apply to universities abroad and hiring a counselor（顾问） to help the students who want to apply to universities in countries whose fees are cheaper. “if you can get into a university in france and pay about 180 a year for an education at one of the best institutions in the world, why would you pay 9, 000 a year in britain?” the principal asked. pupils at hockerill are offered a choice of seven foreign languages: french, german, spanish, italian, portuguese, japanese or mandarin. history and geography classes are taught exclusively in french or german. but with english rapidly becoming the international language of education, even less linguistically flexible students soon find that going abroad can save them money while enhancing the quality of their education. “our students can get to maastricht in holland by train more quickly than they can get to lees from london,” the principal said. just over the border from germany and belgium, maastricht university offers a highly regarded undergraduate program taught in english. tuition fees are about 1, 430, a year. germany and france offer even greater savings. 【小题1】what is hockerills suggestion to its students? a. learning foreign languages. b. picking courses on their basic needs. c. applying for less famous universities. d. receiving further education outside of uk. 【小题2】we can learn from the passage that hockerill _. a. admits students based on their academic performance b. provides dormitories to the students in need c. collects less money than private schools d. hires counselors for every student【小题3】whats hockerills principles attitude towards governments tuition plan? a. neutral. b. supportive. c. indifferent. d. negative. 【小题4】students choosing maastricht in holland will benefit from the followings except_. a. education quality b. convenient location c. flexible program plans d. lessons taught in english【答案】【小题1】d【小题2】b【小题3】d【小题4】c【解析】育。【小题1】细节理解题。根据第三段“urging his students to apply to universities abroad and hiring a counselor（顾问） to help the students who want to apply to universities in countries whose fees are cheaper.”可知，hockerill鼓励学生申请海外的大学，并且聘用顾问来帮助想要留学的学生，故选d。 a counselor（顾问） to help the students”排除d，故选b。【小题3】观点态度题。根据第三段“he decided to make use of the schools international focus.why would you pay 9, 000 a year in britain”可知，hockerill的校长得知政府的教育计划之后，他把焦点转向了国外，他建议学生报考国外的大学，说明他对政府的涨价计划是不支持的，故选d。考点：教育类短文阅读c “oh, my god! did i really just send that text?” most people have said something that they wish they could take back. and if they had paused to think about it first, they probably would have acted differently. pausing doesnt pay off just when you speak. scientific studies have shown that making a habit of pausing before you do something can actually have a big impact on how your life turns out. in making decisions we rely on two areas of the brain. one area creates and processes emotions; the other governs logical thought. the type of decision, how we feel about it, and how prepared we are to handle it help determine which brain area has the most influence. but our age also plays an important role. thinking through the consequences of ones actions is actually harder for teens because the area controlling logical thought is not fully developed until around age 25. this is why teens often feel an intense emotional drive to act impulsively-its how their brains are structured! though this tendency to act without considering the outcomes can lead to problematic situations, impulsivity during the developmental years evolves because it makes teens more open to new experiences and ideas. this openness helps teens become independent adults. the key to making impulsivity work for you-instead of against you-is to train your brain by practicing pausing. this doesnt mean you stop taking risks or being open to new experiences. but you wont know if the risk is worth it until you think it through. deciding to take a risk based on logic shows self-control, not impulsivity. what are different ways to pause? you might take a deep breath, count to 10, or ask, “is this worth it?” different strategies work for different people. whatever works for you, keep doing it! by practicing pausing, you can actually change your brain. this means that over time, pausing, instead of immediately reacting, becomes your “natural” response. and with this change, people are on their way to enjoying the life rewards that come with high levels of self-control-even if they werent natural-born pausers!【小题1】what challenges teenagers_? a. giving natural response. b. making logical decision. c. acting before thorough thinking. d. choosing brain-training strategies. 【小题2】an impulsive person tends to _. a. think through a risk in advance b. show high level of self-control c. consider or accept new ideas d. change ideas frequently【小题3】according to the passage, by training ones brain, one can _. a. stop taking risks b. fully develop ones brain c. become more open to new experience d. reduce the influence of emotional drive【小题4】what is the best title for the passage_? a. discover the brain function b. crying over the spilt milk c. push the pause button d. i
