ASince many of you are planning to study at a college or university in this country, you may be curious(好奇的) to know what you usually do in a typical week, how you can get along with your fellow students, and so on. These are the questions I want to discuss with you today.First, let’s talk about what your weekly schedule will look like. No matter what your major may be, you can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lectures. Lectures are usually in very large rooms because some courses such as introduction to sociology or economics often have as many as two or three hundred students, especially at large universities. In lectures it’s very imp ortant for you to take notes on what the professor says because the information in a lecture is often different from the information in your textbooks. Also, you can expect to have exam questions based on the lectures. So it isn’t enough to just read your textbooks; you have to attend lectures as well. In a typical week you will also have a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take .The discussion section is a small group meeting usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about the lectures, the reading, and the homework In large universities graduate students, called teaching assistants, usually direct discussion sections.If your major is chemistry, or physics, or another science, you ’ll also have to spend several hours a week in the lab, or laboratory, doing experiments. This means that science majors spend more time in the classroom than non-science majors do. On the other hand, pepople who major in subjects like literature or history usually have to read and write more than science majors do1.

If you are not Britain or a citizen of the European Community（欧共体），you must fill out a special form before your passport is examined. This form is called a landing card and should be given to you during the flight to London.After landing, follow the ARRIV ALS signs. Make sure you are in the right channel when you reach Passport Control. There is one channel for holders of European Community Passports, and a second channel marked ―Other Passports‖.Baggage Reclaim Area（取行李处）After passing through the Passport Control, follow the signs to the Baggage Reclaim Area. If you have luggage which is carried in the aircraft hold, it will be delivered to you in the Baggage Reclaim Area. Look for the sign with your flight number. If you have only hand luggage, go directly through the Baggage Reclaim Area to the Customs.CustomsAll passengers must pass Customs after Passport Control. There is a choice of two channels: Green and Red. If you have nothing to declare, go through the Green Channel. If you are not sure about your Duty Free allowance（免税限额）or if you have something to declare, go through the Red Channel. Information about Duty Free allowance can found on special notice – boards in the Baggage Reclaim Area.

Erosion occurs if a largearea of land is cleared of trees and is then badly treated by the farmers. The rain and winds may gradually wash away, or blow away, much of the topsoil. When this happens, crops of wheat or corn become weaker and weaker until nothing grows well. If erosion continues, it will turn good land into a desert.In the past, when erosion appeared, farmers sometimes moved to a new place to farm. Sometimes they could not move, but continued to try to grow food in the unhealthy soil. This caused them to sink into poverty. Soon some people realized that there was little rich, fertile soil in the world, government began to try to stop erosion.One of the first experiments to stop erosion began in the United States in 1933. The experiment was carried out in the area of the Tennessee River. Floods and had farming in this area had ruined（毁坏）land that had once been rich. As a result, most of the people living around the Tennessee River were very poor.The government built big dams across the river and stored the water for use during the dry season when there was no rain. The government workers also helped farmers to fertilize their soil and to learn new farming methods which could stop erosion.At the beginning, the farmers were not interested. But soon, good healthy crops began to appear on the land where new methods where used. Ten years after the extremely prosperous, the great success of this experiment had led similar projects in the other parts of the world.13．The word ―erosion‖ in the first paragraph means _______.A．the clearing of trees B．excessive（极度）use of the landC．the destruction of crops D．gradual loss of topsoil14．The passage tells us that erosion is a problem which .A．first began in the United States in 1933B．occurs mainly in river areasC．affects many parts of the worldD．is becoming more and more serious15．In the second paragraph, ―to sink into poverty‖ means.A．to lose topsoil in erosionB．to become weaker and weaker until nothing grows wellC．to become very poorD．to turn into a desert16．The main purpose of this passage is to tell people .A．how erosion occursB．the importance of using new farming methodsC．something can be done to prevent erosionD．the serious outcomes（后果）of erosionEThe central government will pour billions of yuan into special projects to help meet the country’s energy-saving targets. Local officials are also about to come under increased pressure to toe the government line to meet the targets, otherwise their political futures could be in jeopardy.A top official from the National Development and Reform Commission reaffirmed China’s commitment to cutting energy use and emissions when making a report to the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress yesterday.―We’re facing a very vital situation to cut energy use,‖ Ma Kai, the NDRC minister said. ―If we don’t fasten our pace, it will be difficult to meet the targets this year.‖Ma said the central government would also issue compulsory energy consumption standards for 22 products such as steel, cement, caustic soda and thermal power by the end of the year. NDRC figures show that the country’s energy consumption per unit of gross domestic product (GDP) dropped 2.78 percent in the first six months from the same period a year earlier. However, the government has set the target of reducing energy consumption per unit of GDP by 20 percent between 2006 and 2010, about an annual fall of 4 percent. But it fell only 1.33 perc ent last year from 2005. In addition, official figures also show that SO2 emissions dropped 0.88 percent to 12.63 million tons in the first half of the year.The minister blamed some local officials for dragging the rest of the country down in not meeting the targets. He said the assessment of officials in many places still focused too much on their performance in economic growth, and many cities and counties still lacked concrete plans tocut energy consumption. Ma said we had paid too much to economic growth and serious consequences are revealing themselves.17.
