I went to Arizona earlier this month to see what the college of the future might look like. What I found is an exciting new era of higher education that will help more students get a great, personalized education at an affordable price.
This future may not always include the lecture halls, dormitories, and other features of the traditional college experience. Instead, the colleges I visited are experimenting with ways for students to get their degrees online, allowing them to take courses any place and at any time.
These “colleges without walls,” as they are sometimes called, are a t the forefront of the effort to broaden access to higher education, especially for low-income students with full-time jobs and families. During my visit, I heard encouraging stories of students who were taking advantage of these flexible learning models to pursue degrees that could put them on paths to new careers.
One of those students was Shawn Lee. He had a compelling story: After dropping out of college decades ago, he found himself in a series of low-paying, often back-breaking jobs. He recently decided to get his degree when he had his first child and wanted to start building a better life.
Tucked away in an industrial park in Tempe, Rio Salado didn’t look much like a traditional institute of higher education. There were no students running to class. Just a couple of glass-faced office buildings. The college had just 22 full-time faculty serving 60,000 students, with more than half of them attending classes online.
Several students I met during my visit said they liked learning online. “I’v e taken college classes in a big auditorium with herds of people. There was no personal connection,” one student said. “Now I can reach my teacher with the click of a mouse.”
After several days’ visit, I left Arizona feeling quite optimistic about what the future holds for higher education.
28. What does “colleges without walls” in the third paragraph refer to?
A. Colleges that have no walls around.
B. Colleges that students attend online .
C. Colleges that can be entered freely.
D. Colleges that give students more freedom.
29. What made Shawn Lee return to attend college again ?
A. That he has nothing to do.
B. That he couldn’t find a job.
C. That the cost of the college is low.
D. That he wanted to find a better job.
30. How did the writer feel after the visit ?
A. Hopeful.
B. Dissatisfied.
C. Disappointed .
D. Upset.
31. What is the writer’s purpose by writing this passage?
A. To explain what “colleges without walls” are.
B. To advertise the colleges.
C. To encourage people to attend higher education.
D. To introduce a new model of education.
D
The history of vacuum cleaners(真空吸尘器）i n the UK dates back to the early 1900s. Hubert Cecil Booth started the first vacuum cleaner company in the UK, known as the British V acuum Cleaner Company. It wasn’t long, however, before William Henry Hoover, who had already experienced success with his vacuum cleaners in America, made headway in the vacuum cleaner
market in the UK and became more successful than Booth.
Hoover’s vacuum cleaners in the UK became such a success that ‘to hoover’ quickly became equal to vacuuming. Some of the earliest domestic vacuum cleaners in the UK used simple reusable cloth bag designs whereby the vacuum cleaner simply collected dust in the bag. Once the bag was full, you could empty and re-attach it to the vacuum cleaner.
For decades after their introduction, vacuum cleaners in the UK were a luxury item that only the upper class could afford. After World War II，however, they became common among the middle class.
This was especially true for vacuum cleaners in the UK, because the popularity of carpets means sweeping is not an easy or effective means of carpet cleaning.
In 1952, Hoover made the Constellation available to the public for the first time. Hoover designed it so that people could place the vacuum cleaner in the centre of the room and then work around it. After about 20 years of selling these vacuum cleaners in the UK, Hoover stopped the Constellation in 1975.
Advances to upright and cylinder(气缸）vacuum cleaners in the UK continued, enabling vacuum cleaners to become more efficient and effective. The 1990s saw the introduction of the first bagless domestic vacuum cleaners in the UK. Despite many industry fears consumers would not be prepared to pay the high price, bagless vacuum cleaners became a big success in the UK.
As for the future, vacuum cleaners in the UK are expected to become even more energy-efficient.
32. From the first paragraph, we can know _______
A. Hoover entered the UK vacuum cleaner market before the 1900s.
B. Hoover’s vacuum cleaners were more advanced than booth’s.
C. Hoover’s vacuum cleaners were very popular in the UK market.
D. V acuum cleaners were invented later in the UK than in America.
33. What was the cloth bag on the earliest domestic vacuum cleaners used for?
A. Decorating the vacuum cleaners.
B. Making the vacuum cleaners more
efficient.
C. Lightening the vacuum cleaners.
D. Collecting dust.
34. What was the most remarkable characteristic of the Constellation?
A. It was only used by the upper class.
B. Its design allowed the user to work around it.
C. It was upright and it had a cylinder added to it.
D. Its price was extremely high at the time.
35. W e can learn from the passage that bagless vacuum cleaners
A. were so popular that they could fulfill all UK customer s’ demands
B. were the most energy-efficient vacuum cleaners.
C. were not accepted by UK customers.
D. were expensive when they made their first public appearance in the UK.

Changing Peo ple’s Bad Impression on Us
Some of us have made bad first impressions in front of people we wanted to become good friends with. First impressions are important because they form the foundation on which all future thoughts about someone will be based. 36However, there are actions you can take to change people’s bad impression of you.
●Apologize immediately. A sincere apology can go a long way because you will prove to everyone their thoughts about you. T ell the people that you didn’t intend to offend them and that you wish to correct the situation. Explain the reasons why you acted the way you did in your apology.
37 Otherwise, it will make others feel uncomfortable that you keep bringing up the past.
●Use humor. When you are around the people you made a bad impression in front of, play a small joke on yourself. Once they know you are not afraid to laugh at yourself, it can break up some of the tension. Remember to only direct humor at yourself. 38
●Do not make assumptions(假设）. After you have made a bad impression, it can be easy to assume that everyone thinks the worst of you. 39Instead of assuming what someone thinks about you, explain to him that you feel ashamed about how you acted and ask him how your behavior affected him.
●40 In order to overcome a bad first impression, your words and actions in the time to come must be consistently good. With enough time and patience, gaining trust and changing wrong beliefs is possible.
A. Be careful not to overdo it.
B. Pay attention to future behavior.
C. First impressions are usually long-lasting.
D. However, things aren’t always as bad as they seem.
E. That way you can avoid any more feelings of discomfort.
F. So it’s hard to erase a bad first impression from someone’s mind.
G. Be mindful of your surroundings and sensitive in what you say to others.

范文
Dear Susan，
I am sorry to hear that you have decided not to go to college. I am writing to trying to persuade you not to do that. The reasons are as follows.
First, education has a long-lasting influence on our future. No one can ignore the fact that well-educated people usually perform better in their career and enjoy a better life. Second, we all meet certain difficulties in our lives and what we should do is take up the challenges and trying to overcome them. Third, you can apply for a student loan or take part-time jobs to earn some money. Of course I will do all I can to help you too.
In short, I hope you can accept the offer from that college.
Yours，
