For most students, it's the first time they' re living away from home and managing their own life. Not surprisingly, adapting to this new lifestyle can be challenging. The following four tips will make high school graduates better prepared for college life. Goal setting When setting goals, whether they' re academic, career, or personal, remember they should be attainable but not too easy, so that you really have to push yourself to achieve them, and feel好 into smaller more practical ones can help make it feel more real, and writing out a plan for achieving it can give you a roadmap to success. Interpersonal skills At college, you will interact with fellow students, professors, librarians, and many others.Strong interpersonal skills will help you build relationships during this time, and get more out of them. If you feel that your interpersonal skills need some work, practice asking thoughtful questions and listening closely, develop your understanding by putting yourself in someone else's shoes, and enhance your self-confidence. Studying With fewer in-class hours and more on-your-own learning, you' re required to really digest learning material rather than simply memorize facts. To be successful in college you' ll need to learn how to integrate large amounts of information obtained through reading, do research, and write papers. Organization is the key, so if you are not someone who is naturally organized, set up your study schedule. Budgeting Managing money is a critical life skill, and for many, it is at college that they develop it for the first time. Start by estimating your financial balance. Then give high priority to the expenses on basic needs and determine how much money to set aside every month to cover those costs.Don't forget about savings... and the fun stuff(movies, dinners out), too. 51. Who is this passage most probably written for? A. College teachers. B. University graduates. C. High school teachers. D. Would-be college students. 52.

Push oneself to an upper level. 53. One of the suggested ways to enhance your interpersonal skills is to .

I immediately sat back. The smell ruined my appetite, and I pushed the dish away. “It's supposed to stink. Just give it a try!" my grandmother said Holding my breath, I unwillingly took a bite. To my surprise, the tofu beneath the fried skin was warm, soft, and mouthwatering. Since then, whenever I visited my grandmother's house,I would rush to the kitchen for the stinky tofu with excitement. Thus, stinky tofu became more than a household tradition. It became my favorite dish. Along with the stinky tofu, I would meet my Uncle Chan on every visit. As an immature boy, I never understood my uncle's condition of Down syndrome (唐氏综合征) . He was an unfriendly and terrible creature in my eyes. He constantly walked around the house, talking to himself. Whenever he was within view,I would run away in fear. However, one day, my view of my uncle suddenly changed. I was just getting out of my bed when I heard soft steps approaching. It was my uncle. My muscles froze. He slowly sat next to me and touched my face gently, as a mother would stroke(抚摸) a baby. A wide smile emerged from his blank expression. How beautiful his smile was! I could not help but smile back. My fear disappeared gradually, and my muscles relaxed. For the first time, I could see softness and warmth in his eyes. My uncle very much resembles stinky tofu. Stinky tofu smells unpleasant on the outside, yet feels warm and soft on the inside. Like stinky tofu, my uncle's Down syndrome made me keep my distance at first. Yet,I learned that deep inside, he is harmless and has a loving nature. Some people tend to look down upon disabled people and regard them as unfit for a regular life. As I was unable to see through the outer surface of the tofu, these people are unable to see through the surface of prejudice(偏见). As a result, they judge the disabled with one glance. The outside and inside of the stinky tofu exist as two extremely different worlds. Perhaps that is what makes it such a tasty dish. Not only is it delicious, stinky tofu offers a valuable lesson:never judge people at first glance, for true beauty comes from the inside. 56 Why did stinky tofu become the author's favorite dish? A. It was related to family tradition. B. It turned out to be quite delicious. C. Grandma encouraged him to try it. D. His appetite for food had increased. 57. What did the author think of his uncle at first? A. He was a quiet person. B. He was an energetic guy. C. He was an immature man. D. He was a strange creature. 58. The author's attitude towards Uncle Chan changed when . A. Chan's footsteps woke up the author B. Chan showed his friendliness to the author C. Chan displayed his love towards his mother D. Chan's blank expression made the author smile 59. The comparison between stinky tofu and the author's uncle serves to A. highlight the nature of Uncle Chan B. analyze the family relationship C. describe a childhood memory D. introduce a traditional Chinese food 60. What does the author mainly want to tell us in the passage? A. We shouldn't judge by appearances. B. A person's taste changes over time. C. Blood is thicker than water D. You are what you eat. C The piping plover is already one of the most endangered birds in the Great Lakes area of the northern United States. Now, the rising water levels of Lake Michigan further threaten the birds and the areas where they live. Many sandy areas near the water are getting smaller, while others are underwater. The birds are forced to move closer to places with trees and bushes, or even to urban areas. Vince Cavalieri works with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. He says that the water levels are rising and rising, which put plovers in more danger than most other bird groups. That is because the areas where they live have been disappearing. Ht adds that some nests (巢) on the Canadian side of the Great Lakes also have been swept away. The Great Lakes generally rise with the melting snow and rainstorms of spring, and fall during the drier summer months. In a recent report, researchers Drew Gronewold and Richard Rood said, " quick changes between extreme high and low water levels in the Great Lakes tepresent the ' new normal’." If that is true, the piping plovers could be at greater risk. Their number already has dropped because of shoreline development. The government lists the birds as threatened in the northern Great Plains and along the Atlantic coast. Rising sea level there threatens their wintering grounds.But the Great Lakes population is endangered, hitting a low of just 12 breeding pairs in 1990. There are some recovery projects. In 2017, officials counted 76 breeding pairs of plovers.Last year, they counted 86. Cavalier of the fish and wildlife service expects to see larger numbers this year. Erica Adams is a plover expert with the National Park Service. She said unleashed(未约束的)dogs are the biggest problem for the birds. Dogs sometimes scare the birds so badly that they leave their nests. 61. What do you know about the piping plover? A. It and its habitats are in danger. B. It is the most valuable birds in the U. S. C. It mainly lives in trees near the Great Lakes. D. It moves to new places to live with the change of climate. 62. What made plovers in more danger than most other bird groups? A. The human's destruction. B. The higher water levels. C. The environment pollution. D. The development of urbanization. 63. According to the passage, the" new normal" . A. can increase the number of new bird species B. made the Great Lakes water problems worse C. shows that climate change is improving D. may seriously influence the piping plovers living in the Great Lakes 64. From Para.5, we can know that . A. some recovery projects work B. the number of plovers drops continually C. the recovery projects are useless for plovers D. Richard Rood thinks highly of the recovery projects 65. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A. Entertainment. B. Health. C. Nature. D. Science. 阅读表达 (共5小题；满分10分) Mr. Zhao,a street cleaner from Shenyang, in China's northeast Liaoning Province, leads a very simple lifestyle.
