If a long reading assignment is given，instructors expect students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or give an examination. (Courses are not designed merely for students to pass exams). The ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning，not the one interested only in getting high grades. Grade-conscious students may be frustrated with teachers who do not believe it is necessary to grade every assignment. Sometimes homework is returned with brief written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given，the student is responsible for learning the material assigned. When research is assigned，the professor expects the student to take the initiative and to complete the assignment with minimal guidance. It is the student's responsibility to find books，periodicals，and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain how a university library works，they expect students，particularly graduate students，to be able to exhaust thereference sources in the library. Professors will help students who need it，but prefer that their students not be overly dependent on them. (This differs from teacher-student relationships in other countries. )In the United States，professors have other duties besides teaching. Often they are responsible for administrative work within their departments. In addition，they may be obliged to publish articles and books. Therefore the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is limited. If a student has problems with classroom work，the student should either approacha professor during office hours or make an appointment.）26-30CDBBA 31-35BACBA英文翻译：1.小党派或独立的候选人可能会从大党的提名人那里拉走一些选票，但几乎没有可能战胜他们。

You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dust-jacket is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book. You soon become absorbed in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realise you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment, without buying a book, of course.This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can wander round such places to your heart's content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the inevitable greeting: "Can I help you, Sir?" You needn't buy anything you don't want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. Of course, you may want to find out where a particular section is, but when he has led you there, the assistant should retire discreetly and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book.You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel and perhaps a book about brass-rubbing—something which had only vaguely interested you up till then. This volume on the subject, however, happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting, that you just had to buy it. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section. Book-sellers must be both long-suffering and indulgent (纵容的).1. You may spend too much time in a bookshop because ______.A. the dust-jackets are very attractive B. you start reading one of the books C. it is raining outside D. you have to make sure you don't buy a dull book as a present2.

Time spent in a bookshop can ______.A. be very much enjoyed B. be joyful C. be greatly enjoying D. being very pleasant5. It is very easy to enter a bookshop and buy ______.A. a book on ancient coins B. a best-selling novel on brass-rubbing C. a book that only vaguely interests you D. a book that unexpectedly interests youPassage 2Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labour through your work you may say that you're "hot". That's true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the **es during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: "Get up, John! You'll be late for work again!" The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can't change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle, but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration or your sharper hours.1. According to the author, if a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably he ______.A. is a lazy person B. refuses to follow his own energy cycle C. is not sure when his energy is low D. is at his peak in the afternoon or evening2. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Man's energy cycle can be changed easily. B. Some family quarrels are caused by unawareness of energy cycle. C. Getting up early in the morning is not easy. D. Everyone has a daily energy cycle but a lazy one.3. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should ______.A. change his energy cycle B. **e his laziness C. get up earlier than usual D. go to bed earlier4. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ______.A. help to keep yourenergy for the day's work B. help you to control your temper early in the day C. enable you to concentrate on your routine work D. keep your energy cycle under control all day5. Which of the following statements is not true?A. Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one's energy. B. Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of the day. C. Habit helps one adapt to his own energy cycle. D.
