Also，rankings such as QS mainly focus on the qualities of the university rather than its students.“Any university ranking is likely to help students make better decisions about where to study，but the need to balance them with other more human factors is also important，” said Phil Moss，an education and admissions consultant.“Advice from graduates or current students canbe valuable in providing a genuine insight into the experience or quality of a particular degree program.It can also add an element that rankings can never convey—the actual emotion of a university experience.”【语篇解读】 在选择⼤学时除了要考虑排名外，还要考虑毕业⽣或在校⽣的建议。

In many countries lunch－time is a sacred meal：a time when families come together to eat a hearty meal.However，as you will soon notice，lunch is not the most important meal of the day in the US.For most people lunch－time is squeezed in where it can be，the 30 minutes given to them by their job or before their next class.It is quite common to see people eating outside，wherever they can，or even having food with them to snack on during the day.Another big shock for many when they arrive in the US is the “doggy bag” culture.“Doggy bag” culture refers to the fact that when you go out to eat at a restaurant and do not finish your meal (because the portions are huge！) you can ask for a box to take the leftover food home.The idea of tipping in the US is supposed to be an act of generosity.If you have found your favorite restaurant near campus and want to become a regular customer，make sure to tip at every visit or you may not get the best service the next time you go.It is important to note that at fast food restaurants tips are not expected，and it is usually at any sit－down restaurant.【语篇解读】 饮⾷习惯在世界各地迥异，读读此⽂，看看如何做到像⼀个地道的美国⼈去餐馆就餐。

B．Feel stressed on the case. C．Reopen the case. D．Begin to discuss the case.3．What was a possible cause of reopening the case of Etan Patz?A．Local lawyers strongly demanded the reopening of the case.B．The Associated Press reported the result of the review of the case.C．New evidence appeared which led officials to the basement of a building.D．Local people realized the importance of the case without criminal being charged.4．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A．The National Missing Children’s Day was created on May 25，1979.B．The search for human remains will be carried out at 127 B Prince Street.C．The NYPD didn’t follow the lead of Julio Antonio for he had been dating Patz’s babysitter.D．Othniel Miller，a local handyman assisted Etan and gave him $1 before the disappearance.【第18篇】A good deal of fascinating research has been done about the reading patterns of young people，and it is surprising to discover at what an early age children start expressing preferences for particular kinds of books.A recent report，which examined indetail the reading habits of primary school children，showed that even seven－year－old boys and girls have clear views about what they want to read.Girls，in general，read more，and far more girls than boys preferred reading stories.Boys wereshowing a taste for the more instant appeal of picture stories，or else books about their hobbies.These tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers.Apparently girls read more in general，but more fiction in particular.You could say that there are more opportunities for girls to read fiction：magazines encourage the fiction habit ingirls in their early teens，and by their late teens they have probably moved on to the adult women’s magazines.Teenage boys tend to buy magazines about their hobbies：motorcycles，heavy transport and so on.Adult reading tastes are also the subject of research.Again the number of women who read for pleasure is considerably higher than the number of men.It seems that the majority of women still want love stories.There has also been some analysis of what men actually read.Apparently only 38 percent of men read anything，but 50 percent of what they read is fiction in theform of action－packed (情节起伏跌宕的) stories of space or gunmen.【语篇解读】 研究表明，孩⼦的阅读习惯在很早就已形成且保持不变，直到他们长⼤成为青少年。

Television is still the most influential medium around. Indeed ,for many of the poorest regions(地区)of the world, it remains the next big thing——finally becomes globally available. And that is a good thing, because the TV revolution is changing lives for the better.Across the developing world, around 45% of families had a TV in 1995; by 2005 the number had climbed above 60%. That is some way behind the U.S. , where are more TVs than people, and where people now easily get access to the Internet. Five million more families in sub-Saharan Africa will get a TV over the next five years. In 2005 , after the fall of the Taliban（塔利班）,which had outlawed TV, 1 in 5 Afghans had one. The global total is another 150 million by 2013——pushing the numbers to well beyond two thirds of families.Television’s most powerful effect will be on the lives of women. In India, researchers Robert Jensen and Emily Oster found that when TVs reached villages, women were more likely to go to the market without their husbands’ approval and less likely to want a boy rather than a girl. They were more likely to make decisions over child health care. TV is also a powerful medium for adult education. In the Indian state of Gujarat, Chitrageet is a popular show that plays Bollywood songs with words in Gujarati on the screen. Within six months, viewers had made a small but significant(有意义的) improvement in their reading skills.Too much TV has been associated with violence, overweight and loneliness. However, TV is having a positive influence on the lives of billions worldwide.( ) 1. The underlined word “outlawed” in paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.A. allowedB. bannedC. offeredD. refused( ) 2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Americans used to get access to the Internet easily.B. The world’s TV sets will total 150 million by 2013.C.45% of families in the developing countries had a TV in 2005.D. Over two thirds of families in the world will have a TV by 2013.( ) 3. The author intends to .A. stress the advantages of TV to people’s livesB. persuade women to become more independentC. encourage people to improve their reading skillsD. introduce the readers some websites such as Google( ) 4.
