On the contrary，the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A prof

19、est advice to help them make the right choices in college. Hopefully, they will have fewer regrets than we do. The following are five guidelines parents can share with their college-bound kids to put the whole experience in perspective.EDUCATION IS YOUR FIRST PRIORITYAs soon as you arrive on campus,

20、 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 o

21、f responsibility. Do what you say you will do and, ifyoucan ownt, up to it early and communicate clearly. But being responsible isn t just abmeeting your commitments; it is also about taking care of you, your body, and your friends. For example, more than 1, 800 college students die annually from al

22、cohol-related injuries. Look out for yourself and other people. Make moderate, sensible decisions so you aren sufferingt from the consequences later.TAKE THE OPPORTUNITYIncredible opportunities willpresent themselves: studying abroad, interning at aunique place,trying new things. Don t let fear prev

23、ent you from taking advantage of them. There may never be so much time or as many resources devoted to your betterment again in your life. Say yes to opportunities that will help you grow.FIND AND BE A MENTOR( 顾问 )Some of the best lessons available to us can come outside of the classroom in the form

24、 of a mentor. 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 reinforce and enrich your own learning experience by teaching someo

25、ne else.GET THE JOB DONEIt is natural to occasionally feel you want to quit, when it makes more sense to you to go and find a full-time job. Resist that urge. As Jocelyn Negron-Rios, a mother of two,who is currently completing her degree, advises, “ No matter how difficult it seems, keep at it becau

26、se however insurmountable 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 topursue a degree.”25.

Professors will not assess your performances in class but the grades you get in exams.D. You can make full use of the

28、opportunity whenever you want.27. What can we infer from the words said by Jocelyn in the last paragraph?A. Persistence is the key to success when you meet with difficulties in your learning process.B. It is better if you gain more working experience before you finish your education.C. As long as yo

29、u work hard, you can gain a degree even when you are in your thirties.D. Youth is the best time to learn since you have less burden.28. What is the main purpose of the passage?A.

32、ber 30,1997，a nice birthday present for Bhatia who turned 29 that day. It was relaunched as MSN Hotmail and in 2007 was relaunched again as Windows Live Hotmail.Fast forward the present day and most of us have at least a personal webbased- email account. It seems impossible to live without them. One

33、 of the biggest advantages of email is the fact that communication has become so much easier，especially with those across different time zones. Email takes seconds to send a message whereas letters，a we used to communicate by，could take weeks. Of course there was the fax，that beeping invention from

34、the 1980s，but it wasn't as secure as email and you never knew if the person on the other end had picked up your fax or if it had got lost somewhere in the office.In conclusion，one of the best inventions from the 1990s has to be email. Butsometimes people are too closely connected to their email

35、and have a compulsion to check it several times a day. At work，people have become lazy and instead of going to speak to the person sitting next to them，they send an email，causing an inbox to pile up with more time spent reading email and responding rather than working. Clearly，an invention that save
