The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation: at a lunch with a friend and in a university class. He found that if they had a lunch appointment with a friend, the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. However, the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes.
In an American university, classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States, but also end at the scheduled time. In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12: 00; many remained past 12: 30 to discuss the class and ask more questions. While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil, neither is staying late.
The word "punctual' most probably means______.
A.leaving soon after class
B.coming early
C.arriving a few minutes late
D.being on time
When you study, you should read the whole lesson first. This gives you the whole picture in which to put the ideas. New information that fits into the whole picture is easier to remember than separate facts. You also learn faster if you look at headings, introductions, important words, summaries, conclusions, and anything else that help to organize the material. Organized material is easier to understand.
After you read a whole lesson, the next step is to study the parts. Think about how they fit into the whole picture. If you have a lot to study, don't try to do the whole job at once. Learning should be spread out and spaced. This gives the information time to "sink in". You should study grammar three times, a half hour each time. That is better than studying for an hour and a half all at one time. Even shorter study periods are better for vocabulary lists and other difficult material. To learn the most in a two-hour study session, study different kinds of material; a half hour on grammar, 15 minutes on vocabulary, 20 minutes on writing, and so on. The change will help to keep you interested.
You forget most quickly right after you read or hear something new. You should review right away so you won't forget, and if possible, explain it to someone else. When you review and test yourself on the material, you are being active; active learning is better than just reading or listening. You remember more and save time in the end if you spend at least one-third of your time on active review.
Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Long-term Memories
B.Short-term Memories
C.Organized Material
D.Study to Remember
Sometimes I feel that being the mother of three small children is like operating a large circus(马戏团).21 afternoon last week,my three sons playing peacefully in the back yard(院子),22 the ball from one to another.

I rushed out to 25 peace,but before I got there Charles had 26 a rock at Mark,and hit him in the eye. By the time I got to the back yard,they had begun to 27 about this. Even David,the oldest boy,who won’ t usually fight with anybody about 28,was involved(卷人).First, I 29 them stop fighting,and then I examined Mark’ s eye. I decided that it wasn’ t going to develop into a black eye, but I felt that they should 30 at least a little for 31 they had done. “ I’ m going to 32 to your father about this when he comes home tonight,” I said. “He and I will think of how to punish you. ’’Things were 33 quiet after that for about half an hour,and then Charles 34 a glass in the kitchen,and at almost the same 35,Mark fell out of the apple tree.

W: No, I'm not sure I'm going to.
M: There's not much time left. The deadline's May 1. That is just two weeks from now. Are you short of cash.
W: No, I'm Okay.
M: You'd better hurry up if you want a dorm room next September. There aren't enough rooms for every one, and first-year students have priority.
W: Well, I've been thinking about living off campus.
M: Have you any idea how much that would cost? There is the rent, utilities, and you'd probably need a car.
W: I know it would be more expensive. I think I can handle it though. The dorm is just so noisy that I can't get anything done. Maybe my grades would be better if I had some peace and quiet in a place of my own.
M: You should study in the library the way I do. Think of the money you'd save.
W: I've got to think it over some more. There's still two weeks left in April.

If you hold eye contact for more than three seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They typically gaze at each other for about three seconds at a time, and then drop their eyes down for three seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a three-second-plus stare, he signals— "I know you. " "I am interested in you. " or "You look peculiar and I am curious about you. " This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.
It can be inferred from the first paragraph that______.
A.every glance has its significance
B.staring at a person is an expression of interest
C.a gaze longer than three seconds is unacceptable
D.a glance conveys more meaning than words
