That's exactly what happened on June 17 to Tom Overend, 26, from Footscray, Australia, when he got back to the house he shares with four of his best friends."We live in an old large refitted shop, where we host things often," Overend wrote in an email to . "Whenever we do, everything gets piled into my room. I was expecting to return to a storage room, which I think is why they deliberately set out to achieve the opposite."His four friends completed the entire room makeover in two days, including all the time it took to shop, decorate and paint the space. They even created a Facebook event inviting 15 additional net friends to get involved in the process.When asked if his friends often play tricks like this, Overend responded, "Yes, but this has certainly raised the bar. We like surprises. We're blessed with a creative household. I'd say we don't even consider them 'tricks.' We just enjoy upstaging each other's surprises. "Overend's roommates claim the entire room cost them less than $60 to construct. Most of the toys were borrowed from friends, the bed they bought for free from Gumtree, an Australian version of Craigslist, and the bright pink paint only cost $14.However, revenge(报复) might be in store for one of Overend's roommates, Marc McIntyre, who is the next of the young men to go on a lengthy trip. Overend wrote. "I'm looking into how much it'll cost to fill his room with deer and lions. He's definitely getting some kind of unique animals in there. I promise."1.On arrival at home from a long trip, Overend felt that ______A.he could hardly go to sleepB..his room was in a mess.C.He was eager to share his experienceD.His room, has changed a lot.2.the underlined word “bar” in paragraph 4 means_______A.doubtB.levelC.costD.popularity3.Why did Overend‟s friend make transformation in his room?A.to construct a pretty roomB.To attract mare net friendsC.To give him a big surpriseD.To show offf their creativity4.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Marc might have participate in the transformation of his room.B.Overend and friends often play with some animals.C.It costs much to decorate and paint a room/D.Overend is not getting well with his friends.BWhile many universities pride themselves on their intentional reach, students‟ friendship groups are often defined by nationally. And it‟s not just Chinese students who don‟t mix, but British also lead to st ick together.The reasons behind this social trend are complex. Fadi Dakkak, Intentional Student Officer of the University of Sheffeild‟s Student Union puts it down to “cultural differences”. Does British drinking culture stop overseas students from hanging out with locals? Well perhaps, but lots of the international students I know enjoy clubbing and drinking just as much as those born in the UK. More importantly, there are plenty of opportunities to socialize that don‟t involve alcohol, from sports to film societies.British undergraduate Joshua Watts says students are likely to mix in an academic context, but adds:”I guess it‟s natural to revert to(恢复)friends of the same background during your free time.”The UK university experience is very different for international students. While local students are living a few hours from home, international students are thousands of miles away from their family and friends. Students‟ financial situations can also differ, with most UK students dependent upon termly loan.There‟s a danger that misunderstanding can also stop students from interacting, says Dakkak, who recalls his own experience as a student:”if I had an issue with someone from a certain country or background, I made the mistake of assuming that everyone from that background would be the same.”Simply putting different people into the same space and expecting them to integrate(融合)doesn‟t always work, which is why many universities are finding new ways to bridge the gap. The University of Sheffield‟s stude nt union has produced a video campaign that helps this. It says:”we want to blur(模糊)the distinction between international and locals students. While we work with people from around the world on a daily basis, we are all international students.” The staff h as made an effort to pair international students with home students for group projects. Student unions across the country have also organized welcome events to encourage students to mix, and arranged for overseas students to stay with local hosts during vacations.The benefits of mixing with people from different backgrounds are obvious. In today‟s job market, students have to prove that they are culturally acute and aware of global issue. As Dinesh Thayalan from Malaysis says:”I chose to study abroad to le arn from and with a community of different cultures.” Local students benefit just the same, having the opportunity to learn from different people, without going abroad.1.According TO Fadi Dakkak, students fron different nationality do not stick together mainly due to _____A.the habit of drinking and clubingB.Their difference in cultureC.The lack of opportunity to socializeD.Their complete soclal background2.Which of the following may prevent the international and local students form integrating?A.racial discriminationB.Academic distanceC.Financial situationD.Generation gap3.What has the university of Sherffield‟s students union done to encourage students to mix?A.IT has organized overseas students to take vacations.B.It has classified the international students into different groups.C.It has produced a video campaign.D.It has canceled the distinction between international students and local students.4.We can learn from the Paragraph that mixing with people different background is______A.win-win for all the students.B.Burdensome for all the locals.C.Difficult for some cultures.D.Beneficial for the global s.CConsider this: Buildings use 40% of all energy consumed by people. How is it that in nature, species such as termites(白蚁) create remarkable temperature-control systems to keep themselves cool, without air conditioners?Imagine for a moment a termite mound(丘) on the African grassland, where temperatures swing between 40℃during the day and 1℃at night. Termites survive, though, only if their environment has a constant temperature of 30℃So how do the termites keep a mound at a consistent temperature?Let‟s take a look at how the mounds are built. Termite mounds are tall, often reaching up to 7.6 m high and rooting 3 m underground. The mounds are built with along tube at the top that looks like a small chimney. When termite mounds are found to be in the way of building projects, explosive is often needed. Termites create small openings in the wet mud at the bottom of the mounds. These tunnels act as wind catchers, lowering the temperature of the air as it moves through the tunnels of wet mud. This process is called evaporative(蒸发) cooling. When dry air passes over water, the air absorbs some of that water. This occurs as the vapor pressure and the temperature of the air and the water try to become equal. The heat moves from the higher air temperature to the lower water temperature, thus cooling the air.The termite mound also makes use of natural air currents. Because warm air rises, the air currents draw air from the tunnels at the bottom up and out through the opening at the top of the mound. To regulate the heat and dampness in the mound, the termites work constantly to change the position of the tunnels, opening up the new tunnels and blocking others.Architect Michael based his design of the Eastgate Centre in Harare, Zimbabwe, on that of termite mounds. Like the termite mound, Eastgate is ventilated(通风), cooled, and heated entirely through natural means. Its ventilation costs one-tenth of that of a standard air-conditioned building and uses 35% less energy than six conventional buildings.1. Termites can survive on the African grassland mainly because of .A. the constant temperature thereB. their temperature-control systemsC. the height and the length of their moundsD. their heat stored in the bodies2. What does the sentence underlined in Paragraph 3 imply about termite mounds?A. They are designed skillfully.B. They are strong enough.C. They are harmful to people.D. They are constructed grandly.3.. The tunnels of wet mud in termite mounds are built to .A. cool down the temperatureB. let in fresh currentsC. warm up the airD. block the openings4. What‟s the best title for the passage?A. Principle of VentilationB. Structure of Termite MoundsC. Wisdom of TermitesD. Inspiration from Termite MoundsDA spelling mistake on a sign outside a state primary school had me banging my head in despair –but don‟t be panicked into thinking state education is fundamentally disabled.There‟s a notice on our local park gate, made by a local state primary school pupil, saying:” There is know things like the poo fairy.” What a good idea – a campaign to encourage the dog-owners among us to pick up their dogs‟ waste! And what an attractive and eye-catching poster! But “KNOW poo fairy”? Why didn‟t the teacher check the spelling before the poster was complete d and displayed before the public? Didn‟t he/she realize that not only is bad spelling a worry, but even worse –this is the sort of thing that could easily bring joy to Mr. Gove‟s heart, because it seems to prove him right –ordinary state schools bad and academies good.And the country may take this propaganda(宣传) seriously. Show the panicking parents one bad spelling from a non-academy school, suggesting that it‟s filled with wild and unqualified staff, and they‟ll be scared that their children will come out walking on all fours, and must be marched straight into an academy –an institution full of exam results and undemocratic management.Don‟t fall for it, parents. Like thousands of teachers in state schools, and local authorities, you can care about ch ildren‟s education and standards of literacy, you can even love Latin, without signing up to the Gove brigade(队列)。

It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves falling with the cool wind. For others, it is a/an 1 season, while for me, it is an annoying season.
