Always make study friends It’s way better to study with someone else rather than by yourself! If you have trouble focusing when studying, this will keep you off your phone and any other distractions, and you will feel the responsibility of actually studying since another person’s time is at stake. Make sure you are arranging study sessions with the people in your class. You can make group chats through different platforms for you to meet in the library or online. Attend your professors’ office hours Professors always have an enormous influence on your educational path. So, make sure they are getting to know you both as a person and as a student. Therefore, office hours are the perfect time for you to come to ask questions and show an interest in their class. Even if you don’t have good grades, it shows that you are trying hard, and they love that. Check your email Please make sure you have a valid email address. Almost everything you do in college will involve your email. This is how most professors and every other person in the university community will communicate with you and vice versa (反之亦然). Review the material that you didn’t understand Let’s be real: There are two or three days a week when we just feel out of it. We often simply feel a lot of tiredness and very little motivation. It becomes very hard for us to learn something new or remember it. That is OK and every college student feels this way sometimes! The important thing here is how we make up for the lost time to still have good grades in our classes, and I can give you a very easy strategy to follow. The key is to review the topic or material you were supposed to understand in class later that same day. Please do this! 16. Study friends play an important role in________.

B Exams never made me break out in a nervous sweat — but this one did Even booking my piano exam reduced me to a mess of anxiety. I feel permanently scared inside churches, where piano exams are held — no longer admiring their beauty because over the years I have received terrible marks from examiners. Despite being 15 — too old, too cool to be frightened — I remember trembling inside the bathroom before my tests. I wished I never had to play in front of others. This time, after booking my Level 8 Royal Conservatory of Music piano exam, I went back to my normal routine. A little practice here; a little practice there. And then it happened. My trusty, 10-year-old electric piano gave out. When I told my father what had happened to my piano, he only glared at me with disappointment, “When I was your age, I learned to be resourceful.” Hmm. I had a broken piano, an exam coming up in a few months and a father who refused to buy me a new piano because he wanted to teach me a “life lesson”. I finally came up with a decision I’d practice at school. The school had many pianos but only a few in tune. Within a few days of searching I headed off to a music room at every available opportunity. I loved finding new pianos in hidden corners of the school and spent hours practicing. As my exam drew near, all the music teachers knew to look for me in the piano rooms after school. In anticipation of my assessment, one of my music teachers let me perform for her as a mini practice exam. To my surprise, she was greatly impressed. Music had never been the love of my life but that was changing. When I played, my worries about how others judged me and how I viewed myself merged to reveal who I really am. All my adolescent thoughts made me feel like I was in a cage, but music gave me the key. Within a few months I went from not caring about my playing to feeling actually kind of proud of my work. In my favorite, soundproof music room, I discovered that behind the piano, I could become anyone. Talking to other people never came easy to me, but I was able to express myself through music. I became overjoyed. When the time came to play in front of an examiner, all the anxiety I had about going up on stage dimmed, and all I could think about was the marvelous journey I’d had to get here. Trilling the keys reminded me of the bittersweet music experiences of past years and my happiness nowadays. Many days later, I received my mark — a rarely mentioned “well done”. Now whenever I get caught up in the daily struggle, I remember the hard work that it took to reach my goal. Whenever I feel discouraged, I never forget to look at the gleaming keys of my new upright piano. As my father always says, some lessons are just learned the hard way. 21.

The father wanted the author to address the problem independently. D. The author showed great dissatisfaction about her father. 23. The author changed her attitude towards music mainly because .

A Hard but Enjoyable Life C. My Favorite Piano D. The “Key” to Happiness C In the opinion of some people, the most direct, most touching, and easiest way of protecting wild animals, without doubt, is “the rescue of each individual wild animal”. On seeing a recovered bird return to the blue sky, they will feel moved with hot tears in the eyes. However, what is very easily ignored by them is that the value of protecting each individual wild animal usually does not lie in the individual wild animal itself but more frequently in the entire species behind each individual. In this aspect, this is different from the rescue of weak individuals in the human society. There are many differences between animals and human beings. According to biologist Richard Dawkins, the biggest difference possibly lies in that animals are short of social culture. But here, the culture refers to “the behavior pattern having nothing to do with heredity (遗传), but which may be copied and inherited (继承)”. Human beings depend on culture for heritage. As time passes by the culture has been accumulated to distinguish one group from another. Therefore, the protection of culture is important and necessary. However, wild animals depend on genes for heritage, and therefore, it is important and necessary to keep natural genes in existence. As long as wild animals can pass genes down, the entire species survive. Therefore, wild animals value mostly lies in its gene, and the existence of the species is more important. The individual death cannot be avoided, but the gene may exist forever through the gene bank of the species, keeping the species existent. When we protect wild animal individuals, this is more a measure than a goal. Therefore, the Yellowstone Park has introduced the wolf to control the number of deer and get rid of the old, weak, sick and disabled. Such behavior is beyond imagination among human beings, but in the nature, this is completely normal and reasonable. We often observe wild animals with the judgment that we may have to human beings, ignoring their differences. But if species itself is not in danger then working hard to protect the individual can do nothing good to the entire species. Of course for other reasons, we still hope to protect these individuals from death, but this does not belong to the narrow sense of animal protection. 26. In the opinion of Richard Dawkins, wild animals are different from human beings because ________. A. they depend on culture for existence in the world B. they have poorer social culture than human beings C. they have no behavior pattern related to heredity D. they can copy or inherit something from their parents 27. According to the text, how should we protect wild animals? A. By making their natural genes exist forever. B. By protecting every wild animal from death. C. By saving weak animal individuals. D. By passing the law to forbid killing wild animals. 28. The author uses the example of the Yellowstone Park in order to show ________. A. protecting wild animals is our goal B. how to kill those old, weak, sick and disabled deer C. protecting wild animal individuals is not a goal D. how to keep the balance between different species 29. The text is mainly developed by________. A. giving examples B. providing the explanation C. analyzing causes D. making comparisons 30. Which word can best describe the author’s attitude towards the measure of protecting deer? A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D.
