Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) is a peer-facilitated learning programme available to students enrolled in most core units of study in our business school.
PASS involves weekly sessions where you work in groups to tackle specially prepared problem sets, based around a unit of study you’re enrolled in.
PASS doesn’t re-teach or deliver new content. It’s an opportunity to deepen your understanding of the key points from lecture materials while you are applying your skills to solve problems.
You work interactively with your peers. As a peer group, you decide what is covered in each session. That way, PASS directly responds to your needs and feedback.
Registration in Term 2 will open at 9 am, 21 September 2022.
Waiting lists
If a session is full, you can register for the waiting list. We will email you if a place becomes available or if a new session is to be held.
When you are placed on a waiting list, we will email you a number which tells you where you are on the list. If you are close to the front of the list, you have a good chance of gaining a place in the programme in the near future.
Deregistering
If you miss two PASS sessions in a row, you will be deregistered and your place will be given to someone on the waiting list. Make sure you fill in the attendance sheet at each session to record your attendance.
You’ll be informed by email if you are being deregistered as a result of missing sessions. If you believe you have received the email in error, email the PASS office at passoffice@umbs. edu.
31. In PASS, students ________.
A. attend new lectures B. decide their own schedules
C. prepare problem sets in groups D. use their skills to solve problems
32. What can students do if a session is full?
A. Fill in the attendance sheet. B. Sign up for the waiting list.
C. Report their needs and feedback. D. Email the office their numbers on the list.
33. Students will be deregistered if ________.
A. they send emails in error B. they fail to work interactively
C. they give their places to others D. they miss two sessions in a row
B
When is a shed (小屋) more than just a building? When it’s a potentially life-saving shelter for men who are struggling. That’s the concept around which the Men’s Sheds movement-led by the UK Men’s Sheds Association (UKMSA) is designed.
While garden sheds are typically used by individuals for personal projects and the activities there are often done alone, Men’s Sheds are all about social connections and friendship building, as well as sharing skills and knowledge. “We know how well the movement helps with loneliness, social isolation and both physical and mental health,” said Rob Lloyd, the UKMSA spokesperson.
Recently, the national finalists in the 2024 Shed of the Year awards were announced, recognizing the groups and individuals that have helped fight loneliness that year. Among the groups is the Shrewsbury Men’s Shed. Simon Rouse, its chairman, talked about their approach:“We’ve been trying to marry two things: capable men who have health problems with challenges that make them realize they are still alive and have a lot to offer.”
He explained that local charities and community groups have long lists of jobs they would love to do but can’t afford. “Our Men’s Shed has well-equipped workshops and skilled men with time on their hands and worries they might want to park for a while,” said Rouse. “If we put the two together, it’s a win for the men, their families, the local charities and community groups. Our members have enjoyed supporting our local community through a variety of things, including repairing electrical equipment, and building a hollow reading tree as well as play equipment for local schools.”
Rouse said that winning the award would be a rich reward for years of intense effort by men who might have thought the best was over for them. “Now we’ll really see what we’re capable of,” he said excitedly. “The award would give our members another fantastic encouragement for them to continue to spread the word about the value of Men’s Sheds.”
34. What is the main goal of the Men’s Sheds movement?
A. To reach the completion of personal projects.
B. To help men with social and health challenges.
C. To help improve men’s problem-solving skills.
D. To expand the influence of charity organizations.
35. How does the Shrewsbury Men’s Shed help struggling men?
A. By investing in local charities. B. By upgrading their workshops.
C. By providing medical assistance. D. By engaging them in voluntary tasks.
36. Why is winning the award significant for the shed members according to Rouse?
A. It guaranteed them more work chances.
B. It improved their financial conditions.
C. It changed their perspective of themselves.
D. It enhanced their well-being and reputation.
37. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Rise of Garden Sheds for Health.
B. Knowledge Growth Through Men’s Sheds.
C. From Isolation to Inspiration: The Sheds Story.
D. Men’s Sheds: Bridges of Hope and Connection.
C
If you are an enthusiastic reader, you may not have enough room to store all the books you read. And the cost of buying books keeps rising. Now there is a perfect solution in the UK: Bookloop. It is an online buy-back project in partnership with existing booksellers, where readers can trade books they have already read for credit or more pre-owned books.
Readers can scan and upload their books to an online valuation system, and then drop them off at a collection point or have them picked up from their own home, in exchange for credit to be used on other books. Readers must sell at least £5 worth of books to take part. Eric Gagnaire, co-founder of Bookloop, said, “By giving books a second life, we are not only reducing waste but also building a community of readers who value sustainability and support bookshops.”
Bookbag, a bookseller that has joined the program, describes it as “a social space” that gathers a global range of fiction and non-fiction writing. “We’ re glad to see this program, which feels well-thought-through and a great way of repurposing books and helping sustain bookshops and new book purchase,” they said. Authors will also benefit from the program, as royalties from these secondhand book sales will be redistributed through a shared author fund.
Reception to the launch of Bookloop hasn’t been universally positive, however. Some secondhand booksellers like Patrick Kelly, owner of Bookmongers in Brixton, raise concerns about how many books will actually be sold on to readers. Kelly argued that most secondhand books should be recycled. “They are either no longer relevant, overly produced, or are left in bad condition,” he said.
In response, Bookloop stated that only 2% of collected books end up not being resold. Most of the unsold books are donated to local charities, with less than 0.5% recycled. “Getting pre-owned books to new readers while benefiting both bookshops and authors feels extremely positive,” said Gagnaire. “It’s a really sustainable way of getting books into the hands of more people, without cost being a barrier.”
38. What is a requirement for readers to participate in Bookloop?
A. Trading their credit for new books.
B. Selling used books worth £5 or more.
C. Dropping off their books at a local library.
D. Uploading personal information to the system.
39. What does Bookbag think of Bookloop?
A. It is a win-win initiative.
B. It boosts interest in reading.
C. It is a large-scale book fair.
D. It encourages authors to write.
40. Why is Patrick Kelly mentioned?
A. To clarify a misunderstanding.
B. To suggest a brand-new resolution.
C. To present a contrasting viewpoint.
D. To highlight an unusual phenomenon.
41. What can we infer from Bookloop’s response in the last paragraph?
A. It aims to cut unsold books to none in the near future.
B. It makes most of its money from recycling unwanted books.
C. It thinks its work helps society and is practical in the long run.
D. It plans to end book donations to improve its reselling rate.
D
The long-held assumption that intelligence is the primary driver of academic achievement is challenged by a recent study in Human Behavior. The study, led by Dr. Malan from University of London and jointly carried out by a group of international experts, has revealed that non-cognitive (非认知的) skills, such as motivation, self-regulation and academic interest, are no less important than intelligence in determining academic success. The influence of these skills accrues throughout a child’s education, with genetic factors playing a significant role in shaping this developmental path.
The study tracked over 10,000 children from age 7 to 16 in England and Wales and used twin studies and DNA analysis to investigate the impact of non-cognitive skills on academic outcomes as well as the influential factors, like genes and environment, that affect these skills.
One striking finding is the growing role of genetics in shaping non-cognitive skills and their impact on academic achievement. Researchers created a special method known as the "polygenic(多基因) score" to measure these skills and found that genetic effects associated with non-cognitive skills became increasingly predictive of academic achievement, nearly doubling between the ages of 7 and 16. By the end of required schooling, genetic influence on non-cognitive skills was as strong as that on cognitive skills in predicting academic success.
Besides, by comparing children from the same family, researchers could separate the impact of shared family environment from genetic factors. “We found that how children were raised in the family played a significant role, although the increasing influence of non-cognitive genetics on academic achievement was still evident,” said Dr. Alleg, a co-researcher in the study.
The findings have far-reaching implications for education. The study suggests that schools should develop programs to support students’ emotional and social development. Dr. Malan said, “By doing so, we can create a more inclusive and effective learning environment for students.”
The study also highlights the need for further research into the complex interaction between genes, environment and education. By understanding these factors, educators and policymakers can develop more effective strategies to support students’ overall development and achieve better educational outcomes.
42. What does the underlined word “accrues” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. mounts. B. remains. C. varies. D. surfaces.
43. Why was the special method used in the study?
A. To predict students’ academic achievement.
B. To measure the role of environment in learning.
C. To evaluate the genetic impact on non-cognitive skills.
D. To assess the academic influence of cognitive abilities.
44. What are the researchers most likely to recommend?
A. Advanced math courses. B. AI programming workshops.
C. Writing training programs. D. Community service projects.
45. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Future research directions on learning factors.
B. Specific strategies for improving test scores.
C. The role of educators in genetic studies.
D. The limitations of the current study.

I have a drawer full of letters to Santa. Each year my children would write up their Christmas wish lists. They were polite requests for the latest game or toy. As the children got older, they would give Santa some hints on where to buy their presents. ____46____
Those letters taught my children a valuable lesson about writing: It has a purpose. Sometimes our purpose is to achieve something and other times it may be to entertain, inform, or persuade. ____47____ And when writing doesn’t seem to have any purpose or get any kind of meaningful response, then it can be hard to get excited about doing it.
Christmas is a great time of year for children to communicate with others through writing. When children write for real audiences and real purposes, they can learn to choose their words accordingly. ____48____ You write "Dear Santa" because you don’t know him personally and you want to show him respect.
____49____ Texting, online messaging, live chats while playing video games all mean that they are constantly producing written messages. However, because they are usually writing to family and friends, they use informal language most of the time.
There is nothing wrong with this kind of writing. It suits the audience and the purpose and gets the job done. ____50____ This type of writing won’t be rewarded by the school examiner, nor by a future employer or a potential client. The very best communicators are those who know how to adjust their language to match their audience.
A. It isn’t that these young people can’t write.
B. But it is always purposeful or at least it should be.
C. The age of pen-and-paper letter writing may have passed.
D. As a result, each year they received something they wanted.
E. You write "Hi Nanna and Pop" because you are close to them.
F. As technology develops, young people are writing more than they ever have.

参考范文:
Dear fellow students,
Last weekend, I visited an ancient town and was deeply concerned to see some tourists littering and even carving on old walls. Such acts damage our precious heritage.
As young visitors, we have a responsibility to set a better example. First, let’s always throw our trash in bins and show respect by looking at artifacts instead of touching them. Additionally, when we witness misbehavior, a polite reminder can make a positive difference. Finally, let's actively share the value of these sites through respectful photos and conversations, helping to promote preservation.
Cultural heritage is a timeless gift. Let's honor it through our mindful actions today so that its beauty and history can be passed down to future generations.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
