Decide which given word should go to which blank. Living at college, first of all, gives me a sense of responsibility, of being on my own. My parents arent 41 to say, “No, youre not going out tonight” or “Did you finish your homework?” Everything I do has to be my 42 , and that gives me the responsibility of 43 my own life. During the second week I was 44 college, I had to go out and look for a bank 45 I could open an account. Before that I looked in the phone book since I had no 46 about any banks around here or where they were 47 . Someone told me about a good bank: Continental Federal Savings. I went to the bank and made decisions 48 myself whether to have a checking or savings account and 49 or not get a MASTER card. That was one example of having responsibility 50 that Im on my own and of making my own decisions. Friendly people: thats another aspect I like 51 college. On my first day (and even now) people were 52 to me. I came to Marymount University here in Virginia 53 New York and even though Id been here before I was a bit 12 54 about where I was going. My mother and I drove in, 55 knowing the building we were supposed to go to, and the guard was 56 nice: with a smile, he told us what building we were looking for 57 where we could park our car. My room was on the first floor of New Gerard, and I knew I had to go 58 some glass doors but my mother and I didnt know which ones. 59 upperclassmen saw me and asked, “Are you a new student?” When they found 60 I was looking for New Gerard, one said, “Oh, just follow us; thats where were going.” Even now I feel comfortable in the dorm because there are friendly people around to talk with. a. aroundb. wherec. throughd. aboute. for f. decisiong. at h. somei. nicej. whether k. moneyl. excellentm. timen. goo. say p. handlingq. locatedr. outs. fromt. now u. confusedv. notw. especiallyx. andy. clue III. Reading Comprehension (25%) (Time: 40 minutes) There are 4 reading passages in this part. You have 40 minutes to read them and answer the 25 questions following these passages. Questions 61 to 66 refer to the passage below: When do people decide whether or not they want to become friends? During their first four minutes together, according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin. In his book, Contact: The First Four Minutes, he offers this advice to anyone interested in starting new friendships: “ Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes. A lot of peoples whole lives would change if they did just that.” You may have noticed that the average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he has just met. He keeps looking over the other persons shoulder, as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room. If anyone has ever done this to you, you probably did not like him very much. When we are introduced to new people, the author suggests, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. In general, he says, “People like people who like themselves.” On the other hand, we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves. It is important to appear interested and sympathetic, realizing that the other person has his own needs, fears, and hopes. Hearing such advice, one might say, “But Im not a friendly, self-confident person. Thats not my nature. It would be dishonest for me to act that way.” 13 In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits. We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality. “Its like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first, but it goes much better than the old one.” But isnt it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we dont actually feel that way? Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin, “total honesty” is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything, and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complain about ones health or to mention faults one finds in other people. It is not the time to tell the whole truth about ones opinions and impressions. Much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends. For a husband and wife or a parent and child, problems often arise during their first four minutes together after they have been apart. Dr. Zunin suggests that these first few minutes together be treated with care. If there are unpleasant matters to be discussed, they should be dealt with later. The author declares that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people. That is at least as important as how much we know. 61.

When one meets new people, he should make them feel that he_. A. is a cocksure person B. is being polite C. treats them like friends D. can confide his secrets to them 14 65. “There is a time for everything” means “_”. A. One should do all things in the same way in all situations B. Everything is OK if you know how to do it C. Anything may happen D. Nothing is OK for all occasions 66. What is the right thing to do when we meet a stranger? A. Showing total honesty B. Doing some play-acting C. Complaining about ones health D. Pointing out the faults in him Questions 67-72 refer to the following passage: Most people feel stress at some time in their lives. Some people like this pressure and work better because of it. Other people are not comfortable with any stress at all; they soon become unhappy if they feel stress. Sometimes stress can lead people to do things they wouldnt usually do, such as overeat, smoke, drink, or use drugs. Stress, however, is a very normal part of life. It is important to understand that stress doesnt come from an event itself; that is, from the things that are happening in our lives. It comes from the meaning we give to what has happened. For example, a crying baby may be stressful to one person while another person may be able to stay calm. We can experience stress any time we feel we dont have control. It can come from a feeling that we cant do anything about a situation. Basically, it is the bodys way of showing anxiety or worry. Stress is not just caused by our mental or emotional condition. It is also influenced by how tired we are, whether we have a balanced diet with enough vitamins and minerals, whether we get enough physical exercise, and whether we can relax. The point at which stress becomes a problem changes from day to day, even for the same person. In some situations, if we are rested and feel good about ourselves, a little stress will not be a problem. In another situation, if we are tired or feel unsure about our abilities, even a small amount of stress can cause problems. For example, we might begin to worry about things that havent happened yet instead of working on things that are happening now, or we might not feel able to find solutions to everyday problems. If we feel stressed, there are several things that we can do. First, we need to learn how to relax and breathe slowly and smoothly. We can also take some time out of our worried, busy schedule to notice the small things in life. Smell the air, look at the flowers, notice the small designs in the leaves on a tree - these activities can do much to quiet us and to give ourselves a small 15 break in a busy schedule. We need to take care of our bodies. Being tired makes it easier for us to get sick and to develop physical problems related to stress. We need to get enough rest, eat well, and do some regular exercise. Scientists have found that for our minds to think clearly, our bodies need to have certain vitamins and minerals; some of the most important vitamins are the B-complex vitamins. Doing regular exercise is also a physical way to let go of angry feelings or feelings of helplessness. Finally, we need to find what is causing the stress in our lives. Once we have found it, we need to begin to change that part of our lives. If we believe that we can control stress, we can begin to control our lives. Then we can start to use stress in a positive way. 67. This passage mainly tells us_. A. what st
