Registering for c
17、lasses, becoming familiar【 51】 the buildings【 52】 campus,【 53】 books, adding and dropping classes, and【 54】 fees are confusing for everyone. During this busy period there is little time for students to anticipate【 55】they will later encounter in the classroom. International students,【 56】 to their c
18、ountries educational expectations, must adapt【 57】 new classroom norms in a foreign college or university. Whereas in one country prayer may be acceptable in a classroom, in another it may be【 58】 . In some classrooms around the world students must humbly obey their teachers commands and remain abso
19、lutely silent during a class period. In【 59】 , students may talk, eat and smoke during lectures as【 60】 as criticize a teachers methods or contradict his or her statements. It is not always easy to understand a new educational system. There is considerable variety in university classrooms in the Uni
20、ted States. Because of diverse teaching methods and non-standardized curricula, no two courses are【 61】 . Undergraduate courses are considerably different from graduate courses. The classroom atmosphere in expensive, private universities may differ from【 62】 in community college s【 63】 are free and

State-funded universities have different requirements and expectations than【 64】 parochial colleges.【 65】 , there are shared features in American college and university classrooms【 66】 the diversity of educational institutions of higher learning. Participation【 67】 the classroom is
22、 not only accepted but also expected of the student in many courses. Some professors base part of the final grade【 68】 the students oral participation. Although there are formal lectures during【 69】 the student has a passive role (i, e. , listening and taking notes), many courses are organized aroun
23、d classroom discussions, student questions, and informal lectures. In graduate seminars the professor has a “managerial“ role and the students【 70】 presentations and lead discussions.

28、 does not【 22】 . It is only the inability to function【 23】 the addictive substance that is dismaying, the dependence of the organism upon a certain experience and a(n)【 24】 inability to function normally without it. Thus a person will take two or three【 25】 at the end of the day not merely for the p

He needs to repeat it again and again. Something about that particular experience makes life without it【 29】 compl

The addict craves an experience and yet he is never really satisfied. The organism may be【 32】 sated, but soon it begins to crave again. Finally a se
31、rious addiction is【 33】 a harmless pursuit of pleasure by its distinctly destructive elements. A heroin addict, for instance, leads a【 34】 life: his increasing need for heroin in increasing doses prevents him from Working, from maintaining relationships, from developing in human ways.【 35】 an alcoho

But the gifts generated controversy as well as good【 C2】 _, with some bloggers accusing Micros
36、oft of bribery and their peers【 C3】 _unethical behavior. Several bloggers reported last week that they had received Acer Ferrari laptops, which can sell【 C4】 _more than $2,200, from Microsoft. A spokeswoman for Microsoft confirmed Friday that the【 C5】 _ had sent out about 90 computers to bloggers【 C
37、6】 _ wrote about technology and other subjects that could be【 C7】 _ by the new operating system, like photography and, oddly, parenting. But while those on Microsofts mailing list initially greeted the machines with enthusiasm, many【 C8】 _ bloggers soon objectednot because they had been left off the
38、 list but, they said, because bloggers are bound by the【 C9】 _ rules as traditional journalists, who should not accept【 C10】 _gifts from companies they cover. 77 【 C1】 78 【 C2】 79 【 C3】 80 【 C4】 81 【 C5】 82 【 C6】 83 【 C7】 84 【 C8】 85 【 C9】 86 【 C10】 86 Time for another global-competitiveness alert.

It isnt exactly a news flash these days【 C5】 _Americans score behind the curve on international tests. But educators say this study is【 C6】 _because it monitored
41、variables both inside and outside the classroom. Lazinessthe factor often【 C7】_for Americans poor performanceis not the culprit here. American students【 C8】 _spend more time in class than pupils in Japan and Germany. 【 C9】_, they get more homework and watch the same amount of TV. The problem, educat
42、ors say, is not the kids but a curriculum that is too【 C10】 _. The study found that lessons for U. S. eighth graders contained topics mastered by seventh graders in other countries. Teachers actually agree that Americans need to【 C11】 _their kids to more sophisticated math earlier. Unfortunately, ex

One technique invo

Both culturing techniques complement existing methods of studying intact animals. With an in vitro culturing technique, researchers are deciphering how biochemical agents regulate the secretion of prolactin, the pituitary hormone that promotes milk production. The cultured cells survive for as long as a month, and t
