Hello, new students! This is a message from the Students Union Committee. We've been at the university for at least a year now, so we can give you some good tips. Don't worry - we remember being new and making a lot of mistakes! And we haven't forgotten feeling a little bit scared. First, as you know, there are no longer any grants. If you borrow money from the government, remember that like all loans, you have to pay it back. Spending all your money in the first week is not a sensible strategy. Try to make a budget for each term and stick to it. But if you are struggling to make ends meet, you can get a part-time job-restaurants and bars in the town take lots of students on in the evenings and at weekends. Come and see us for advice. Stop worrying about making new friends. Start to join the sports and hobbies societies - they're cheap and you can begin meeting a lot of people that way. It's a great chance to take up a completely new hobby. Living in a new city a long way from home can be very stressful. One tip, don't forget your parents. After all, they are paying your tuition fees here. You will be very busy working and enjoying yourself, but stop to phone your parents sometimes and don't forget to go home for the weekend from time to time. And remember to take your dirty washing! Finally, remember to work hard and play hard. Go on working steadily towards your first degree (BA or BSc) throughout your three years here - try to keep things in perspective. You'll always find someone in the Student Union office if you need to talk.1). What does the word "scared" mean in the second paragraph?2). What does the word "grants" mean in the third paragraph?3). The sentence "But if you are struggling to make ends meet, ?at weekends" in the third paragraph implies().4). From the fifth paragraph, we can infer that in order to overcome the stress of living faraway from home, ().5). This passage is written for the purpose of ().(1).A、excitedB、frightenedC、worried(2).A、money given by the government to support the students' study, which they needn't pay backB、money from the government which the students need to pay backC、money from the school which is similar to scholarship(3).A、if you are short of money, you can find a part-time job in the restaurants and bars in your spare timeB、if you want to have a better life than others, you can find a part-time job in your spare timeC、restaurants and bars need more hands in the evenings and at weekends(4).A、it's better for new students to talk to their parents over the phone from time to timeB、new students need to do their washing themselvesC、new students should keep themselves as busy as possible so that they will not miss home(5).A、telling new students the problems facing them in the universityB、telling new students how to budget their moneyC、offering new students some advice about their university life

"Hi there. How′ s it going?"
"Oh, fine. Fine. How about this weather, huh?"
"Well, I guess we can always use the rain."
What is that? This story? Oh, just a little look at small talk. You know, those seemingly meaningless conversations you have dozens of times a day. Maybe you′re waiting for the elevator, or in a line at the bank. It all seems pretty trivial. Idle chatter about traffic doesn′t do much more than fill the air with empty words that are quickly forgotten. But you should know that small talk actually has a big place in our lives.
Pat Oliver, assistant professor on arts, says that, "Left unchecked, small talk can be an invasion. It′ s so powerful. It does something to you." "Every morning after spending an hour and a half on the freeway I start the day with small talk with my secretary," Oliver says, "If I don′t make small connection with another person, I can′ t work."
What causes it? As a rule, you′re either trying to force something into your life, or you′re using conversation as an invisible force field to keep them out. You can be wanting to connect with another person, and small talk is your introduction to more meaning conversation. The way people use small talk is usually determined by where they happen to beat the time.
Take the elevator, for instance. Now there′ s prime territory. Nobody knows anyone and there′ s no reason to start a conversation, but invariably, someone does. "Making conversation in such peaceful social settings," according to Oliver, "can confirm your territory. It′s a way of feeling liked and accepted."
The topics of small talk don′t matter. In fact, you don′t want anything more taxing than the weather or the traffic. It′ s non-threatening talk in a threatening situation. However, the rules change quickly when you′re with lots of people doing lots of talking.
Let′ s say you′ re at a party. Now it′ s time to use small talk as a way of making others feel more comfortable around you, so don′ t look silly standing by the food table alone all night.
According to the author, at a big party, small talk is used with the purpose of_____________.A.making both others and yourself feel at ease
B.excluding those you don't like from joining you
C.keeping your voice low so only your friends can hear you
D.comforting those who feel lonely

Have you ever argued with your loved ones over simple misunderstandings（误解）?Little wonder.
We often believe we′re more skillful in getting our point across than we actually are,according to Boza?Keysar,a professor at the University of Chicago.In his recent study,speakers tried to express their?meanings using unclear sentences.Speakers who thought listeners understood were wrong nearly half the?time.Here′s some good advice to reduce misunderstanding:
（1）Don′t trust what you see from the listener.Listeners often nod,look at you or say"uhhuh"to?be polite or move the conversation along.But it′s easy to consider these as signs of understanding.
（2）Train the editor（编辑）in your head.If you say,"Beth discusses her problems with her?husband,"it′s not clear whether she′s talking to her husband or about him.Try instead,"Beth?talks to her husband about her problems."or"Beth talks to others about the problems with her?husband."
（3）Ask listeners to repeat your message.Introduce your request by saying"I?want to be sure I said?that right."Questions like"How does that sound?"or"Does that make sense?"may also work.
（4）Listen well.When on the receiving end,ask questions to be sure you′re on the same?page.After all,it isn′t just the speaker′s job to make his speech understood.
In the last paragraph,the words"you′re on the same page"mean that__________A.you're following the speaker closely
B.you're reading the same page as the speaker does
C.you should know which page the speaker refers to
D.your story is written on the same page as the speaker's

资料：What if you were told there was a way you may strengthen your cognitive skills and heighten your intelligence, and all you had to do was was learn to strike up basic conversations in another language?
It probably sounds great, because if you’re like most you would love to be able to speak a second language. But then, you recall your experience in high school foreign language-boring tote memorization and long hours with little progress-and perhaps it doesn’t sound so good any more.
But, what if you were told it would take only 10 days to be on your way to becoming bilingual? Most people recognize the many benefits of learning a foreign language: You can travel to foreign countries and fell comfortable, be a more productive and enticing employee in today’s competitive job market, and immerse yourself in the vast cultures that surround you.
But now, the collective evidence from a number of recent studies suggests that the bilingual experience improves the brain’s so-called executive function-a command system that directs the attention processes that we use for planning, solving problems, and performing various other mentally demanding tasks.
These processes include the ability to ignore distractions to stay focused, switching attention willfully from one thing to another, and holding information in the mind-like remembering a sequence of directions while driving.
Even better, new approaches to learning mean you can learn a new language without the endless repetition, homework, and memorization. One of the most powerful actually trains people to start speaking a new language in as little as 10 days! In fact, it’s so powerful, even the FBI has purchased it!

资料：It’s almost considered sacrilegious today to leave work at the end of your workday or（for shame！）on a Friday and simply not check your work email again until you return the office during normal working hours。
The constant need to check email is the trade-off the modern workforce has made for the ability to work anytime，anywhere，hanks to smartphones and tablets that keep us always connected。
But three university researchers have found that it’s not just doing a bit of work after hours that cause burnout。The true culprit is actually the constant worrying about off-hour email。
A new study。“Exhausted But Unable to Disconnect，”by Lehigh University’s Liuba Belkin，Virginia Tech’s William Becker and Colorado State University's Samantha Conroy shows that employees are growing exhausted by the expectation that they will always be available，never knowing what kind of work requests will be asked of them off hours。
Typically，companies don’t mean to stress employees out like that。Most companies don't have formal policies that say people must answer work emails after-hours，（except，perhaps，in cases where an employee is on call during specific times）。
But policies and culture tend to be two different things。If supervisors routinely email employees after hours and expect a fast response （often because their supervisors are doing the same to them），then the message is clear: whenever the boss emails，the employee is expected to be available。
The solution is for bosses to tell employees that an after-hours email doesn’t necessarily require a response before the next work day，and to also set some times when after-hours emailing is considered acceptable and prohibited，such as no emails via the dinner hour，on weekends，or after 10 p.m.，the researchers say。
What would you do if you were the policy maker of a company？A.To require an instant respond for after-hour emailing
B.To abandon after-hour emailing
C.To tell employees that an after-hours email doesn’t necessarily require a response
D.To limit the time of after-hour emailing
