21、 When you choose a higher education course, here are some tips for you to follow.
Choosing your course
There are a range of subjects and courses available. Many are work-related; others are academic. You’ll need to look beyond the course title because courses with almost the same name may differ enormously. For example, if you’re interested in construction but wish to use your creative skills, you may be better suited to a building design management course than a building project management course.
Style of learning
Think about the style of learning that best suits you. It’s important to study a subject that you particularly enjoy, but if you want to follow a career in a different area, you may consider taking the subjects you want to learn and joining them into one degree. Many degree courses are made up of different subject modules which deal with particular areas of interest.
Choosing where to study
Where you study can be almost as important as what you study. One thing to consider is whether you want to live at home or move away. For some people, living at home offers the best of both worlds, but it may make sense to move if you want to study a particular course at a specific university or college. Many students value the experience of living on campus or in a different part of the country as an important part of university life.
Finding out more about courses
Once you’ve got a list of courses that appeal to you, it’s worth looking at some other sources of information about them, like independent reports. These provide information on the numbers of students who finished the course, student satisfaction and more.
Open days
Open days usually take place in spring or autumn. Although you may have an idea about what a course is like, there’s no substitute(替代)for attending a class yourself. If you can’t come on the open days, you can sign up for a guided tour instead.

23、 We may not have the full details and are likely to judge something based on limited information.We tend to distance ourselves through our judgment and become disappointed with what we find. Judgment keeps us safe because we move our feelings of fear,shame and guilt onto others to make ourselves feel better.This comes at a cost of parting ourselves instead of building stronger connections.
The way out of judgment is through the power of gratitude,which helps us see things differently.Gratitude opens the door to our hearts and helps us consider things from different aspects.A heart filled with gratitude is unlike a heart filled with judgment,fear and anger.Consequently,judgment and gratitude are opposing forces.One is the field of the self and the other is expressed through true goodness and sympathy.
The key to recognizing our judgment lies in being mindful of our thoughts.I often tell coaching customers when they notice themselves judging,to stop and ask a simple question:“What am I not seeing in this situation?”This helps us notice where we are blinded by our bias(偏见)and unable to see the truth.It is my experience that judgment happens mainly in our connection with people.
We are unaware of other people’s motives and plans because we bring our own ill-natured thinking to the process.This was evident with the Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong,who convinced himself and others he did not cheat. He went to great lengths to dismiss(否定)his use of illegal performance-improving drugs.In an interview with Oprah Winfrey,he said that his lies were so convincing that they eventually became truth.
But upholding a lie is harder than speaking the truth.In contrast,the power of gratitude allows us to shift(转移)our attention to the truth,even if it means our feelings will be hurt.Gratitude turns the switch from fear and judgment to sympathy and understanding.It is the bridge where friendships and tolerance are born.
【1】What does the author think of judgment?
A.It makes us physically safe. B.It contributes to satisfying results.
C.It damages our relationships with others. D.It allows us to decide with full understanding.
【2】What’s the author’s purpose of asking his customers the question?
A.To warn them of others’ill thoughts. B.To help them to recognize their judgment.
C.To remind them to connect with others. D.To explain to them the bad effects of judgment.
【3】The example of Lance Armstrong is used to show .
A.the progress in medicine B.the source of judgment
C.the achievement of the cyclist D.the reason for telling white lies
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Benefits of being grateful B.Search for the whole truth
C.Ways to form a friendship D.Get away from judgment
24、 When you are choosing a major in the future, will you place a higher value on its future career or on its personal interest to you? Zhong Fangrong, a left-behind girl from Hunan province who scored 676 points in total on this year's college entrance exam, preferred the latter as she applied to study archaeology at Peking University.
However, there was a heated debate concerning whether she had made a wise decision. Some netizens argued that she wouldn't have a promising future unless she chose a more popular major—for instance, finance, engineering, business, etc. —instead of archaeology. What's more, considering the financial burden on her family, she had better think twice before making her final decision.
The girl later responded that she had been inspired to pursue archeology by Fan Jinshi, president of Dunhuang Academy, and that she had developed a passion for history and cultural relics. She also added that she cared little about fame and fortune.
Zhong has increased my confidence because of her attitude towards life. Firstly, she knows clearly what she is really interested in and is determined to devote herself to it. Secondly, Zhong has been able to stick to her pursuit despite the criticism from society.
Zhong's pursuit reminds me of a lady who walks on a country road and lives in poetry—Li Ziqi. They both try their best to be who they want to be, which is rare and admirable nowadays.
Just ask yourself: Do you have the courage not to follow the pattern that the majority of people repeat? Actually, applying for an unpopular major may help you to avoid fierce competition. And the pursuit of a popular major is no guarantee for a brilliant future.
Following the example of Zhong, I will be more willing to follow my dreams in the years to come.
【1】What made Zhong decide to major in archaeology?
A.Her courage to take an adventure. B.Her optimistic attitude towards life.
C.Her stubborn belief in popular majors. D.Her love for history and cultural relics.
【2】Some netizens opposed Zhong's choice because they thought
A.she preferred finance to archaeology B.she wouldn't have a promising future
C.she placed value on her future career D.she cared much about fame and fortune
【3】What inspires the author to follow his or her dream in the future?
A.Li Ziqi's living in poetry. B.Netizens' heated argument.
C.Fan Jinshi's encouragement. D.Zhong's sticking to her pursuit.
【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.You Can Be Who You Want To Be B.Archaeology Is Becoming Popular
C.A Left-behind Girl Scored 676 Points D.A Heated Debate Arose Among Netizens

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A long time ago, there was a country where the people would change a king every year. The person who would become the king had to sign a contract that he would be sent to an island after one year.
One king finished his term and it was time for him to go to the island. The people dressed him up in expensive clothes and put him on an elephant and took him around the cities to say goodbye to all the people. This was the moment of sadness for all the kings who ruled for one year. Then the people took the king in a boat to the remote island and left him there.
On their way back, the people discovered a ship that had sunk just recently and a young man who survived by holding on to a floating piece of wood. As they needed a new king, they picked up the young man and took him to their country. They requested him to be a king and told him about all the rules and regulations. At first, he refused but later he agreed to be a king.
After three days of being a king, he asked the ministers if they could show him the island where all the other kings were sent. They agreed and took him to the island. The island was covered with thick jungles and sounds of dangerous animals were heard coming out of them. The king discovered the dead bodies of all the past kings. It was clear that as soon as they were left in the island, the animals came and killed them.
On returning to his country, the young king asked the people to provide him with 100 strong workers. He took them to the island and told them to remove all the deadly animals and to cut down some trees. He often visited the island to see how the work was progressing.
After a month, the whole island was cleaned out. The king then told the workers to plant gardens and raise useful animals like chickens, ducks, birds, goats and cows.
注意:
