You may end up on an urban campus or a rural
9、 one, at a small school or a large one, in a cool climate or a warm one, in San Francisco or St. Louis. But whatever your experience, it will be first-hand, personal, alive, and unforgettable!If you spend a summer studying in the USA, youll have advantages which the tourist never will. Not only will
10、 you learn the subject matter of your choice, but youll gain an understanding of the American educational system as well.

11、municate, exchange ideas and opinions, and hopefully form friendships which will endure beyond the length of your stay in the USA.The following articles will help you in deciding which summer program to choose, what to bring, and how to adjust to the life in the USA. But the first and most important
12、 decision is one which you can make right now.

If so, then perhaps laws are needed prohibiting the
17、sale of cigarettes and alcoholic drinks. Both products have been known to kill people. The hazards of drinking too much alcohol are as bad as or worse than the hazards of smoking too many cigarettes. All right then, lets pass a law closing the liquor stores and the bars in this country. Lets put an
18、end once and for all to the ruinous disease from which as many as 10 million Americans currently suffer alcoholism.But wait. Weve already tried that. For 13 years, between 1920 and 1933 there were no liquor stores anywhere in the United States. They were shut down abolished by an amendment (修正案) to
19、the Constitution (to 18th) and by a law of Congress (the Volstead Act). After January 20, 1920, there was supposed to be no more manufacturing, selling, or transporting of “intoxicating liquors.“ Without any more liquor, people could not drink it. And if they did not drink it, how could they get dru
20、nk? There would be no more dangers to the public welfare from drunkenness and alcoholism. It was all very logical. And yet prohibition of liquor, beer, and wine did not work. Why?Because, law or no law, millions of people still liked to drink alcohol. And they were willing to take risks to get it. T
21、hey were not about to change their tastes and habits just because of a change in the law. And gangs of liquor smugglers made it easy to buy an illegal drink. They smuggled millions of gallons of the outlawed beverages across the Canadian and Mexican borders. Crime and drunkenness were both supposed
22、to decline as a result of prohibition. Instead people drank more alcohol than ever- often poisonous alcohol.On December 5th, 1993 they repealed (撤销) prohibition by ratifying (批准) the 21st Amendment to the Constitution.21 Which of the following was NOT a characteristic reason for the proposal of the
23、18th Amendment to the Constitution and the Volstead Act?（A）There would be no further danger to the public from alcoholism.（B） There would be a rise in the cost of alcoholic beverages.（C） Without liquor, people would not drink.（D）People would not become drank or create a public nuisance. 22 During pr
24、ohibition, illegal alcohol was _.（A）sold openly（B） no longer a temptation（C） a major factor in the passage of the Volstead Act（D）brought across the Mexican and Canadian borders 23 During prohibition, people _.（A）lived in fear of the law（B） were willing to risk arrest for the pleasure of liquor（C） re
25、cklessly endangered their communities（D）were respectful of the legal sanctions placed on them 24 When enacting the prohibition laws, government officials assumed that _.（A）every American would buy alcohol illegally（B） all criminal activities would cease（C） patrols of the Canadian border would halt t
26、he sale of alcohol（D）the social threat from drunkenness would decline 25 It can be inferred from the passage that _.（A）the Congress was wise to repeal prohibition（B） the Prohibition Era was characterized by a decrease in crime and drunkenness（C） during Prohibition, Americans stopped drinking（D）laws
27、should be passed to ban the sale of alcoholic beverages 25 Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of t
28、hirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters ea
29、ch year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a
30、 grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students stir find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to position in student organizations ar
31、ouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of main mining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous number of students, the opera
32、tion of the system does involve a certain amount of activities. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.26 Normally a student would at least attend _ classes each week.（A）36（B） 12（C） 20（D）1527 According to the

This might be called
37、 laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that youre “hot.“ Thats tree. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For
38、some people the peak. comes 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 (自言自语) as: “Get up, John! Youll be late for work again!“ The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his tem
39、perature-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 cant change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believ
40、es. Maybe youre sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗) 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 day, rise before your usual hour. This won t chang
41、e your cycle, but youll get up steam (鼓起干劲) 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.
