课时检测（四） Discovering Useful Structures Ⅰ.阅读理解 For my first year at Oxford, I barely said anything in tutorials (辅导课)． We'd have 2－3 tutorials a week, each ranging from 1 to 3 hours. Some would feel informal with comfortable chairs and teas, sitting and chatting with a few friends.Others would feel more like we were being grilled for facts. In both types, I was pretty quiet. I was shy, introverted, and worried that everyone would think I was stupid.The fact is that everyone in Oxford, Harvard, Yale, etc, has felt insecure about their intelligence at some point.I didn't volunteer in discussions and, as a result, I didn't understand much. My understandings of different texts never matured or became complex.They stayed the same.And they were often wrong. Then, somewhere in the middle of my second year, I got over myself, stopped being worried, and offered more of my own opinions.I responded to others, asked thoughtful questions, and interacted more. I always asked if I didn't understand something.Most of the time, others also didn't understand the thing I was confused about and felt happy I asked. I went from being a passive learner and having everything go over my head to being an active learner and having tons more information understood.In tutorials, I took notes.After tutorials, I reviewed those notes.I rewrote them.I explained new concepts to my friends in other subject areas. And I felt smarter.I went from struggling and failing to thriving and suddenly getting firsts on my essays. Being an active student also means asking for help.So I recommend you to visit your tutor during office hours and ask for their help or ask your peers to help explain stuff to you, or get a mentor (导师) if you can.I had a PhD student mentor me once a week over coffee in my final year.It was the best thing that happened to my studies. 语篇解读：本文主要讲述了作者在牛津大学读书的经历——态度的转变让作者从一个被动的学习者变成了一个主动的学习者。 1．Which word best describes the author's academic attitude as a freshman?
