Your Welcome Buddy is here to support you when you start your undergraduate course at ARU.

Whether you’re leaving home for the first time, or are a mature student returning to higher education, you may be feeling a mix of emotions, from excitement to nervousness, or perhaps worry about feeling lonely as you won’t know anyone yet. Don’t worry, this is perfectly normal and it’s why we have our Welcome Buddy organization – students supporting other students in the transition to ARU.

Your Welcome Buddy can share their ARU experience with you and let you know about the amazing clubs, societies, sports teams and volunteering opportunities that you might want to get involved in. They will help you settle in, whether that’s showing you around campus or the city; directing you to where your first lecture will be or signposting you to all the fantastic support that’s available to you.

Every undergraduate student starting ARU will automatically be matched with one of our current undergraduate Welcome Buddies in the same department and on the same course.

Postgraduate Research students will be matched to a Welcome Buddy with a similar research area if they choose to join the organization.

We will set up on an online designated (指定的) chat space for you and your Welcome Buddy and you will receive an email notification to your ARU email whenever you get a message on the chat, so it’s really easy for you to stay in touch.

22、   Small words may help you beat stress and improve your relationships. Use these tips to teach yourself a helpful and useful vocabulary.

I get to

“Many of us begin our day with the phrase ‘I have to’,” says Catherine Grace O’Connell, a self-development expert. “Changing this to ‘I get to’ has the possibility to change the way our day goes. “Even if you may not be happy about going to work or cooking dinner, saying that you “get to” do those things changes your attention to the positive aspects of those things.

Thank you

A lot of research has been done on why people — especially women — often don’t accept compliments smoothly. Language in Society found that women only accepted compliments 40 percent of the time, and Harvard Business Review found that almost 70 percent of people connected receiving compliments with a little shame or embarrassment. Does this sound familiar? She says, “I love that dress.” You say, “Oh this? I’ve had it for years.” Or,” You think? I’m not crazy about the color.” We often demean (贬低) ourselves while doing this. A better way to respond: Look the person in the eye and simply say, “Thank you.”

Not yet

Adding “yet” to the end of your words, especially when talking about abilities and goals. is a small but good way to change your attitude to life. “Add the word ‘yet’ to limiting comments,” suggests Kyndall Bennett, another self-development expert. “When we do this, we allow ourselves to accept the limiting thoughts as truths,” Bennett says. “Examples of this would be like, ‘I can’t speak a second language... yet’ and ‘I don’t know how to run my own business... yet.’” This works for everything from weight loss to relationships; it’s a way to add a certain optimism to your words.

【1】What had you better do when receiving compliments?

A．Show modesty.

B．Explain reasons.

C．Say “Thank you”.

D．Present facts.

【2】What do we mean when we use “not yet”?

A．We will try to do that.

B．We have tried our best.

C．We apologize for a delay.

D．We have to cancel the plan.

【3】Why does the author suggest using the small words?

A．To relax ourselves.

B．To stay positive to life.

C．To strengthen family ties.

D．To learn new vocabulary.

23、   If you are travelling from one of London’s international airports to central London, don’t take taxi unless you are very rich! The minimum (最小的) fare from Heathrow, the airport nearest to central London, is about $25. If you are travelling in a group of four people and each of you has a lot of luggage, you may feel that it would be worth paying for a taxi.

If you simply want to cross London from one railway station to another or from a station to your hotel, then a taxi may be a good idea. Although taxis may seem quite expensive, they make life a lot easier if you have a lot of luggage, or if you are not confident about finding your way around the Underground system. Here are some useful facts about using taxis:

★ Licensed (有许可证的) taxis are large, and usually black, vehicles with a small white plate (牌照) on the back showing a license number and the words Hackney Carriages.

★ The best place to find a taxi is at a railway station. Follow the signs for taxi and you will find what is called a taxi rank (a place in the road where a taxi can stop). Another good place to find a taxi is near a large hotel.

★ If you are not at a station, you will have to stand in the street and wait for one to go past. Look for a taxi which has an orange light lit up over the driver’s window — this means that it is not being used by anyone else.

★ When the taxi is quite close, raise your arm and wave the driver down. The taxi should stop for you.

★ When you pay, it is usual to give the driver a tip of at least 10%.

【1】What does the author say about the taxi in London?

A.It is hard to catch a taxi at the airport.

B.It is a good choice to cross London.

C.Its service is far from satisfactory.

D.Its fare is not very high.

C.They have red plates.

D.Their plates are on the back.

【3】Where can you find a taxi easily according to the author?

A.A bus stop.

B.A small hotel.

C.A large shopping centre.

D.A taxi rank near a railway station.

【4】What should you take note of if you want to stop a taxi?

A.Whether its light is on.

B.Whether the driver is waving.

C.Whether it is a white licensed taxi.

D.Whether the taxi stops at the right place.

【5】If your taxi fare is $30, how much should you give the tip to the driver at least?

A.$2. B.$3.

C.$4. D.$5.

24、When Amanda Lemay heard the story about a baker and her husband who were traveling around the United States in a van (厢式货车), learning from expert bakers, she wanted to do something similar. So she got rid of most of her possessions and made an old ambulance with her dad into a lovely home on wheels.

Lemay's ambulance is actually a former emergency response vehicle for the US Navy, built on a 2006 Ford E350 Cutaway. Renovations (改装) were mainly done by her and her dad. Now the dark blue vehicle has a lot of built-in cabinets on all sides, offering a lot of storage space, while the rooftop has 400-watt of solar power panels and a small roof deck where Lemay practices Yoga. The inside is tastefully done to suit Lemay’s work and hobbies. As Lemay mentions，not only did her father help, but also the rest of her family. Lemay’s mother helped sew the decorations on the removable cushions, and her sister crafted the leather pulls.

Her current nomadic (流浪式的) lifestyle fits well with her work doing audiobooks, voiceovers, and publishing work. In the end, this unexpected path has Lemay rethinking what it means to be truly sustainable, now that van life has gotten her to become minutely aware of the water, electricity, and other daily resources that she uses. But all these day-to-day trouble is balanced with a greater sense of freedom.

“It’s almost mind-blowing, it feels like a completely different life because I'm doing the work online, and I can do things on my own schedule. Most of my days are mine—so by living in the van, I can be where I want to be, and do the things I want to do, and spend time outside. ”

【1】What inspired Amanda to make a change?

A．A couple’s travelling experience.

B．Some expert bakers’ suggestions.

C．Her own awful living conditions.

D．Her parents' continuous persuasion.

【2】What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A．The history of the van.

B．The talents of Amanda’s parents.

C．The renovations of the van.

D．The attitudes of Amanda’s parents.

【3】Which of the following may best describe Amanda?

A．Selfless and kind-hearted.

B．Independent and determined.

C．Decisive and adventurous.

D．Playful and romantic.

【4】What can we infer from the passage?

A．Amanda is completely free from any worries

B．Amanda fully values her sense of freedom.

C．Amanda will return to her previous life soon.

D．Amanda will invite her family members to join her.
