21、 When you’re choosing a college, a lot of factors probably may be considered: the school’s reputation, the classes offered, and the professors in your major, to name a few. However, considering the increasing competitiveness of universities to attract more and more applicants, many schools now offer extra benefits to be enjoyed by all of their students. Here are some of the coolest:
University of Missouri
When you think of a campus gym, you probably picture a room equipped with old weights and out-of-date machines. However, at the University of Missouri, you can enjoy one of the best campus fitness centers in the country. It features an “indoor beach” complete with a waterfall and a lazy river, as well as a full-service spa. Even if you don’t normally enjoy working out, Missouri’s fitness center will give you a reason to go to the gym.
High Point University
If you see yourself quickly tired of dining hall food—something that happens to almost all of us—High Point University in North Carolina has a great option for you: a private steakhouse for students. It’s a first-class restaurant, and, best of all, you don’t have to pay for the meal out of your own pocket. You can use your dining dollars instead.
Seton Hall University
If you’re stressing out about the extra cost of technology when you start college, Seton Hall has great news for you: all freshmen are given free laptops through the university’s Mobile Computing Program. As a freshman, you’ll receive a laptop already set up with all of the software that you’ll need as a student. Then, after two years, you’ll receive a new and updated laptop designed to carry to through until after you graduate.
New York University
If you’re a fan of museums, NYU(New York University) is the perfect university for you: not only are you located in the heart of a city featuring some of the best museums in the world, but the university will even provide you with free admission to many of them.

Also known as Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras in New Orleans is a cultural event. Though the celebration
is held every year on the day before Ash Wednesday, the festivities last for months, banning in November throughout January and early February. And if you love music, check out the annual Galactic concert at the world-famous Tipitina’s on Lundi Gras (the day before Mardi Gras).
La Tomatina （Valencia, Spain）
Launched way back in 1945, La Tomatina is one of the oldest festivals on our list. It's also easily the happiest but the messiest, coming off like the world's biggest food fight.
Legend has it that the whole thing started when some local boys joined a parade alongside musicians. The boys made the performers so angry that they tried hit the boys, and a vendor's (小摊贩)vegetable stand fell victim to the incident.
If you go, please follow some simple rules: Don't throw hard objects, squash the tomato before throwing it, stay a safe distance away from tomato trucks, and stop in time.
Montreux Jazz Festival （Switzerland）
Founded back in 1967, Montreux is one of the oldest music festivals in the world. It's also the second largest jazz festival, after the Montreal International Jazz Festival.

23、China: Making Graduates Employable
Universities in China are facing similar demands to improve the employability of their graduates as those in the UK, new research among employers has revealed. 【1】 In Britain, the government has set up its own internship scheme to help graduates find work during the recession.
But what are the skills employers want and how much do they differ between the two nations? 【2】 The partnerships are funded by the government through the British Council under the second phase of the Prime Minister’s Initiative for International Education. In this scheme, universities are encouraged to exchange ideas and develop programmes aimed at improving the entrepreneurship and employability of graduates. “We found employers in both countries put a great emphasis on leadership qualities and initiative – things that are learned through the activities students engage in and the responsibilities they take on during their time at university,” Heffernan told a conference in London organized by the council, which is inviting proposals for 10 new UK-China partnerships.
【3】
Generally, it includes family and friends and links with people working in other companies, voluntary organizations, or leisure activities. The Chinese also tend to take more time building up relationships with people before getting down to business. The University of Plymouth and its partner China Agricultural University in Beijing are working to determine the skills most likely to lead to employability and successful careers. Staff at both universities have conducted face-to-face and telephone interviews with local employers of graduates in three areas, marketing, human resources and finance-accounting.
【4】 In the UK they chose communication including written and verbal communication, networking skills and foreign language ability - as the top priority followed by the ability to work in a team.
“Students in China generally lose touch with society and they need help to understand how companies work and what is involved in the different jobs and professions. They know very little outside the campus and that is where I think they differ from students in the UK. We can share our experiences.”
A．“However, there are some clear differences in the emphasis put on different attributes, such as the value placed by the Chinese on ‘guanxi’, the network of connections that a person has built up.” he said.
B．Employers in both countries valued the personal skills of graduates seeking work in human resources.
C．The Chinese employers said the person who could complete a job and get things done was highly prized
D．That is the question Dr. Troy Heffernan, a senior lecturer in marketing at the University of Plymouth, set out to answer through his involvement in one of 13 partnerships between institutions in the UK and China.
E．A draft of a report to be published later this year shows marketing executives in both countries put a high emphasis on good communication skills.
F．The Chinese government issued a circular earlier this year urging universities and colleges to strengthen their efforts in preparing students for the workplace.
24、 All left-handed humans have not had it easy in the world. In many cultures and in the dark ages, left-handed people have generally been seen as the devil.
The word “left” in English comes from the Anglo-Saxon word “lyft”，which means weak or broken. The Oxford English Dictionary defines “left-handed” as meaning defective, awkward or clumsy. 【1】 A “left-handed compliment” and a “left-handed marriage” can be set as examples. The former does not mean sincere praise but indicates an insult. The latter, as you may notice, refers to an illegal or informal marriage, which, in particular, involves one side of royal or noble birth and the other of lower rank.
In some certain cultures, things go beyond that. 【2】 In Nigeria, for instance, taking or giving anything to anyone with your left hand is assumed that you lack home training.
【3】 Many people around you in China, if asked, would tell you they were forced by their parents or teachers, to write with their right hand. Strangely enough, none of those elders can say what an actual problem there is with left-handedness. If it has to do with the fear of that child not being prosperous, there are a lot of left-handed personalities doing well and breaking grounds. The possible explanation here maybe lies in their long- held prejudice. 【4】
Two-thirds of the world still view left-handedness as a shortcoming but it isn't. 【5】That is what C. R. Manske points out, “Life without left-handed people wouldn't be right. ”
A．And that is not the only case.
B．The following two examples can best reflect this point.
C．A tiny gesture or movement with the left hand can mean a lot.
D．Namely, people tend to believe in common ideas instead of the reality.
E．The way forward for the left-handers is for them to be accepted as they are.
F．Certain phrases in English suggest a rather negative view of “left-handedness”.
G．In other words, different deep-rooted beliefs originate from different cultures.
25、A farmer painted a sign advertising the pups and set about nailing it to a post. As he was ________ the last nail into the post, he felt a pull on his overalls. Then a boy said, “I want to buy one.” “Well, these puppies cost a good deal of money,” the farmer responded, looking down into his eyes.
The boy ________ his head disappointedly. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of ________. “I’ve got 89 cents. Is that enough ________ to take a look?” “Sure.” the farmer let out a whistle. Here, Dolly!” he called.
Out from the doghouse ran Dolly followed by four fur balls. The little boy’s eyes danced with ________. Slowly another little fur ball appeared, this one noticeably ________. Down a ramp (斜坡) it slid. Then the little pup began ________ moving toward the others, doing its best to ________“I want that one,” the little boy said.
The farmer ________ down at his side and said, “He is ________ and can never run and play with you like these other dogs.” The little boy stepped back and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he ________ a steel brace (支架) running down both sides of his leg ________ itself to a specially made shoe. Looking back up at the farmer, he said,” Sir, I don’t run too well myself, and he will need someone who ________.”
With tears in his eyes, the farmer picked up the little pup and handed it to the little boy. “How much?” asked the little boy. “No charge,” answered the farmer, “There’s no charge for ________ and understanding.”

26、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为 150 左右。
If you ask me whether you should say yes to walk your neighbor’s dog, my answer would be a definite “Yes”, as long you do one thing I didn’t do when I helped out with my neighbor’s dog. Here’s what I meant. You don’t need to ask your neighbor lots of questions about that particular dog, but just be patient to ask one very important question. Here is why.
Mrs. Gonzales and her adorable dog Rascal, live at the end of my street. My friend Ollie and I have played with Rascal since he was a puppy, so when Mrs. Gonzales asked if we’d like to take him to the park once in a while, we can’t wait to says, “When can we start?” “How about this Saturday at 3: 00?”she suggested.
When Saturday rolled around, Ollie and I were there to pick up Rascal at 3: 00 on time. “Rascal will be so happy to play in the park with you!” Mrs. Gonzales said. “If I’m still out grocery shopping when you return, just let yourselves in with this spare key. I’ll be home a little while later.”
“Also, why do you think I named him Rascal? If there’s trouble, such as puddles, this guy is guaranteed to find it. And also the commands that you should ” When we realized that Mrs. Gonzales had lots of “alsos”, we interrupted her and ran away in the blink of an eye.
Not long after we arrived at the park, Rascal found a giant puddle and jumped into it and rolled around until every square inch of his furry body was dripping with mud. “Ugh! silly puppy, you’re the muddiest dog in the universes!” I said. Ollie said we should take him back home so he can get washed up.
But when we got to Mrs. Gonzales’s house, she didn’t answer the doorbell. “ She must still be out grocery shopping,” I said. “How about we use the garden tube to clean him? ” Ollie suggested. “ Good idea!” I said, putting Mrs. Gonzales’s key into the lock. “I’ll go inside and get a towel to dry him off.”
Paragraph 1:
But the second I opened the door, Rascal raced inside the house.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Mrs. Gonzales came in with her groceries.
