If I were a freshman again I should not work so many hours as I did. I had put in enough hours with my books, but I did not accomplish much. I had little concentration. Just like many students, I spent a great deal of time in getting ready to work. With a book in hand, I looked out of the window at the clouds or at the pretty girls passing along the street, and all the time I cheatedmyself with the idea that I am working.

For many evenings, when the work was heavy, I would determine to begin early and complete all the tasks; but I could spend half an hour in arranging my books and getting myself seated in a comfortable chair. All this time I imagined I was working. If I were a freshman again, I should plan my work, I should try to develop concentration – I should work harder but not so long.

As a freshman, I should take more work that I have no special fondness for or that I find difficult. I like an easy time, just like anyone else, and I do not wish to give the impression that I think it’s wrong for a student to follow the profession he enjoys or to do the work he likes. I think that those things we do most easily we shall do best; but I have found that training comes through struggle, and that people who resist most are developed most. Much of the work of life is not pleasant. Half the things I am forced to do during the busy days of the college year are unpleasant things and things I dislike doing. I have been forced to learn to give these things my best attention whether I like them or not. However, it was those things that helped me grow and grow fast. I wish I had learned in my freshman year to do more such things.

Thinking for yourself is still a radical act. Thinking for yourself is not a H activity, though it should be. Every step of real progress in our society has come from it. But in most circles, particularly in places that C our lives – families, schools and most workplaces – thinking for yourself is J with suspicion. Some institutions thwart it on purpose. It can be seen as dangerous.
I was reminded of this sad fact at a party when a fellow D asked me the subject of a book I was planning to A. I told him that it was about how people can help each other to K for themselves. “Oh dear,” he said, “I don’t think much of that; I much prefer people do as they’re F.” I later found out that he is the fourth- generation president of one of the Goil companies. When was the last organizational vision statement you saw that included the words “… to develop ourselves into a model environment in which everyone at every level can think for themselves”? For that N, when was the last time somebody asked you, “What do you E think, really?” and then waited for you to answer at length?

A) write B) speak C) shape D) guest
E) really F) told G) largest H) popular
I) radical J) regarded K) think L) help
M) case N) matter O) longest
The importance of siblings
A) “My sister and I are very close and we’re in touch a lot, yet it’s not an easy relationship,” says Marie, 36, of her sister Kate, who is two years older. “Often I’ll come off the phone feeling irritated and somehow dissatisfied. She manages to stir up emotions I don’t like, much more so than my friends or even my parents.”
B) A sibling relationship is likely to be the most enduring of our lives. The impact they have on our young and adult lives is enormous — they shape our history and our character, to a far greater extent than is usually acknowledged. The book Siblings in Development, edited by psychotherapists Vivienne Lewin and Belinda Sharp, states “siblings are not just second editions in relation to the parents, but have a profound importance in their own right. Relationships with siblings are ineradicably fixed in our psyches.”
C) Dr. Terri Apter, child psychologist and author of The Sister Knot, says siblings “know you better than anyone. They may not always admire you, but they’ll always be intensely interested in you. If you ask a sibling to describe a parent, a friend or a sibling, it is the sibling that the child will describe with most sophistication and detail, in terms of their character and habits. This is why they are so significant.”
D) Think about siblings around you, as well as your own, and consider how many of them really get on well, are truly happy, harmonious and close. Chances are they are few and far between. “Many of my clients get on badly with siblings, which could partly be down to the family dynamics of why they’re seeing me,” says psychologist and therapist Martin Lloyd-Elliott. “Even so, anecdotally, I would say only a third of people I know report getting on well with siblings.”
E) Classic sibling dynamics often depend on what position we hold in the family. Elder children can often feel usurped when a younger one comes along and these feelings of rivalry can last well into adulthood. Many studies show that sisters tend to be closer to one another and that the worst age for bickering ( 争 吵 ) — regardless of gender — is when the elder child is 13 and the second-born is 10 years old. These dynamics are further complicated if stepsiblings are involved. “Constant competition may well shape our life script, leading us to filter every subsequent human interaction through the distorting prism ( 棱 镜 ) of our original relationship with our siblings,” says Lloyd-Elliott. “We’re all immersed in the unique culture of our particular home situation. Inevitably, any siblings who share that environment with us have an enormous influence on our overall experience of the world and we carry this forwards, often unconsciously, into our adult lives.”
F) In childhood it is often easier to express those negative feelings, but as we grow older, we try to suppress unpleasant feelings such as envy and anger. This is why so many siblings drift apart. “I was close to my brother as a young girl, but when I was nine I was sent to boarding school while he went to a day school,” says Karen, 38. “I was so jealous of the fact that he stayed at home, but I also felt guilty and found it easier to keep my distance rather than admit this to him. It’s only now we’ve both got children that I feel able to see more of him.” Meanwhile her brother remains unaware of his sister’s intense feelings.
G) Maybe this is why Lloyd-Elliott reports a certain confusion among many of the clients. They are aware that there is something amiss in their sibling relationships but unable to pinpoint why. “People speak to me rather wistfully of when they did get on well and are left thinking, ‘Where did that intense relationship go?’” For those siblings who never got on as children, there is hope of a closer relationship as they grow older, says child-development specialist Elizabeth Hartley-Brewer. “Boys show jealousy and hatred in a much more physical way. It does seem to go on longer but, once they establish their adult identities, they feel they are respected,” she says. “There can be a lot of pretence around sisters getting on, but beneath that there is more manipulation and nastiness than you get with brothers.”
H) The truth is that if you really didn’t get on with your siblings, there’s only one way to change the pattern in adulthood, which is determination and the will to work it out. “I remember one brother and sister who came to couple therapy because they felt it was so important to restore their relationship and I found that very moving,” says Lloyd-Elliott. Watching my own children, I can see their bond is complex and intense, full of extreme displays of frustration, resentment but also intimacy and love. For their sake, I hope they can sustain that closeness in adulthood without the rivalry that seems so second nature to them now. You may compete with your siblings all your life, but you also love them and are deeply bonded to them. We need to accept that this is the most layered of our relationships and fight to keep it alive.
I) Part of forging mature sibling relationships means getting to know our siblings all over again. There are so many advantages of sibling relationships that can and should be nurtured. “You’re more likely to hold the same core values, a similar sense of origin and place, and an accumulation of shared crucial moments,” says Lloyd-Elliott, “as well as family history on which to build.” He believes sibling relationships can decline once we leave home because we don’t nurture them as we would romantic relationships and close friendships. Instead, we tend to be quite fatalistic about the way we behave with our siblings and assume that’s how it will always be. “They shouldn’t be something we take for granted,” says Lloyd-Elliott. “Every relationship requires constant nourishment, as well as mutual respect. Your siblings are no exception.”

Once I asked Bill: “What does American cuisine feature?” At hearing this question, he was somewhat surprised and after a while, he responded: “Precisely speaking, I don’t feel America has a cuisine. All we have is what we call ‘junk’ food, such as hamburgers, hotdogs and sandwiches.” I was very much surprised at his reply.

As a matter of fact, he was quite right there. Upon my observation, I didn’t see any restaurants specialized in American cuisine, which probably does not exist. By and large, Italian, Mexican and Chinese food dominate American plates, together with other ethnic food—Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, and Middle Eastern.

However, even regarded by Americans as junk food, hamburgers, sandwiches and French fries are always desired by average Americans, teenagers in particular. Something interesting is that every day, Americans are complaining about the calories they have taken in, but obviously they couldn’t live without food rich in cream, butter, cheese and sugar. According to a survey, America remains the fastest developed country with 20% of male and 25% of female adults overweight.

Apart from neighbourhood restaurants, cafeterias and coffee shops flourish everywhere, either in a small town or a big city. I do suggest those food lovers go to eat at the cafeteria, where you could stuff yourself with much fancy food for $7 at lunch and $10 at dinner and kids above 5 only have to pay half the price. While at the coffee shop, one can get a light meal, usually a burger, for about $3 and a variety of coffees.

After a long drive from home, we arrive at my hall of M, and I check in. The warden gives me a set of keys and a room number. It’s five floors up, and the lift doesn’t O. Finally, with my mother red in the face and short of breath, we find Room 8, I D the door, and we all walk in. After one minute, my father climbs out.

As he speaks, he moves his head from side to side, which makes his coffee K into the saucer. “I live not far from Edinburgh, about six hours away,” I explain. “Splendid!” he says, and moves on to the girl L beside me. “Have you come far?” he asks, “splendid,” he says, without N for the answer, and moves on. He takes a C of coffee, and looks surprised to find the cup is empty.

   The challenge of college education
   A) Why are you going to college? Not to enhance your parents’ social position; not to get high marks; not to get the ultimate answers, which not even we can find out. To use our own professional jargon, you go to college to get a liberal education. We must admit that we do not altogether know what a liberal education is, but we have some fairly good ideas on the subject. We do not entirely follow these ideas. None of us, for example, believes that there is a magic in piling up a certain number of hour- credits. Yet, sixty credits and you get your diploma. And that diploma is supposed to admit you to the company of educated men and women. Why not fifty-five, or sixty-five? We do not know. Indeed, if pressed, we should have to admit that some students are liberally educated with thirty credits while others will not belong to the educated company even if they have taken sixty times of sixty hour-credits. Do not measure your education by simple arithmetic.
   B) Select your courses with care. If you go to a college which requires that you juggle five courses at once, you should do well to find one easy berth and sleep in it; otherwise, you cannot do justice to the other four. This is a secret practice acceptable and accepted by all. But in general, easy courses should be avoided simply because they are easy and do not give you the worth of your father’s money.
   C) Do not select your courses with an eye to a specific job or type of occupation. More of you will make this mistake than not, and it is one of the most serious mistakes you can make. In the first place, we know at least that a liberal education involves a balance and harmony of interests. Secondly, your interests and talents are by no means fully appreciated or explored when you come to us. You do not want to wake up in your senior year and wish that you had not missed so many important and interesting things. Thousands of seniors do.
   D) When you go to college, you are intellectually very young and have not yet learned to proceed safely or efficiently under your own intellectual power. You are what your environment and your elders have made you. Your ideas are not your own. The first thing you must learn is to stand on your own ideas. Broaden your horizon so that as you become more and more able to take care of yourself, you will move intelligently.
   E) Do considerable mental visiting in your first years in college. Try to encounter the major points of view represented on the faculty and among the students. Entertain them the more seriously, the more they differ from your own. You may return to your own, but if you do, it will be with greater tolerance and broader understanding.
   F) You go to college to gain a liberal perspective. In gaining this perspective, you must come to know the environment which surrounds and compels you, the complex society with which you must live and cooperate, the creative spirit which is your heritage, and the tools of language and of thought. To express it in this specific manner is helpful. It suggests certain intellectual virtues which you must possess before you can be considered an educated person. This does not mean that there are particular courses which can alone provide you with these virtues. Do not take a course solely for its specific content.
   G) You also want to know the complex society in which you must live. And one of the ways in which you could know is to learn the history. You must recognize the importance of the past. Man learns by experience, and history is social experience. As to Greek, Roman, European and American history, you cannot study them all, but you can become historically minded. And you can become socially minded in your view of the present world. Economic, social and political forces have your world in their grips. You must study these forces, then measure them and evaluate them.
   H) Our heritage in the field of the arts has always been recognized as liberalization. Most of the greatest interpretation of human living is to be found in painting, sculpture, music, literature, etc. What have the great creative geniuses told us about ourselves? What are modern artists trying to do? You must find out these things, not just that you may go to museums and concerts, but that you want to go to museums and concerts. Elect some kinds art or music, for pleasure, and also to increase your knowledge. Also, get a full and enthusiastic knowledge of the literature of your mother tongue. You will have discovered a source of wisdom, good taste and pleasure. Such studies need no recommendation.
   I) Finally, you must come to understand the tools of language and thought. And here, urging is necessary. You ought to know another language, ancient or modern, inflected or non-inflected, so well that you dream in it. Such knowledge gives a far better understanding of your own mother tongue, both as a tool and an art, than you could otherwise obtain. And you can open yourself to another literature. Furthermore, you should be conversant with the structures and powers of thought as an intellectual tool, and you should be willing to examine fundamental assumptions. Mathematics, logic and philosophy are helpful here. You may think them difficult, but do not avoid them altogether.
2. A mass of culture and intelligence of human beings is embedded in various kinds of arts.H
   答案：H
3. If you are required to study five courses at once, you’d better find an easy one to make you deal with the other four with balance.B
   答案：B
4. You go to college to obtain liberal education rather than higher social position or something else.A
   答案：A
5. Philosophy, logic and math can help you be familiar with structures and powers of thought.I
   答案：I
6. Don’t take finding an exact job as your aim when you select a course, for liberal education requires balanced interests.C
   答案：C
7. Whether you are liberally educated or not does not simply lie in the credits.A
   答案：A
8. If you want to know society, you must be conscious of the importance of history.G
   答案：G
9. Knowing another language makes you obtain a tool or an art to understand your mother tongue better.I
   答案：I
10. To gain a liberal perspective, you must know the environment, society, the creative spirit and the tools of language and thought.F
    答案：F
11. It’s very important for college students to have their own ideas.D
