Also meals are usually providedon campus so students can devote more time to their studies, rather than tohousekeeping. But, of course, students should also be aware that they ’ ll have to o the rules and regulations relating to student conduct. This is part of the contract with the university for living on campus.Another option is living off campus in apartments. Like living in dormitories, living inan apartment requires little or no maintenance mainly because that is usuallyhandled by the owner or someone else. Also, if you live off campus, there might bea great amount of flexibility in choosing roommates that you might not have whenliving on campus. But you should be aware that tenants may be responsible forfurnishing their own apartments.Well, of course, the choice is up to you, but be careful to review both theadvantages and disadvantages of living on and off campus. Good luck.

First, they must make themselves attend class. Many college instructors donot take roll, and many others don’t penalize students for not going to class.

在长达41年多的时间⾥,她出现在12部长篇⼩说、20篇短篇⼩说中——最后⼀次破案时她已经很⽼了。

从外表上看,马普尔⼩姐⾼⾼瘦瘦,⾯⾊红润⽽布满皱纹,有着⼀双淡蓝⾊的眼睛,雪⽩的头发在头上盘成⽼式的发髻。

她的外表看上去不会给任何⼈造成伤害。

再加上她那漫⽆边际的闲谈以及永远都在⾝边的⽑线针,她常常会引起⼈们的误解,把她仅仅看成是⼀位“犹犹豫豫的⽼⼥⼈”。

那可真是⼩看了她。

那些真正了解她的⼈都明⽩,她是⼈类本性敏锐的观察者,⽽且“不可思议地总是正确的”。

虽然马普尔⼩姐⼀⽣都⽣活在看上去枯燥乏味的圣玛丽牧场,她却相当⽼到地明⽩并接受“我们周围尽是邪恶”这个事实。

就像她经常指出的那样,⼤城市能找到的⼈性特征和邪恶,在她住的村⼦及周边也都能找到。

于是,她的破案⽅式就是找出圣玛丽牧场和外⾯世界在⽣活和⼈物⽅⾯的相似之处。

College Life
Ten “Cs” Essential for College Students
Creativity Commitment Cooperation Communication Competence
Connection Confidence Courage
Consideration Curiosity
Two different attitudes toward errors.
(Para. 2)
At Brown, students defend their errors by arguing about: A. why their errors were not errors; B. why mediocre work was excellent; C. why they could take pride in their poor presentation. In the real world, graduates had better not defend their errors but learn from them.
College Students at Different Times
Directions: Look at the pictures of college students in 1910s20s, 1960s-70s, as well as college students today. Work in groups to compare and contrast their characteristics according to what you see or what you know about them. Then report your findings to the class.
D. Unlabored writing was commented on.
E. Dull students were treated as if they were smart. The reason why professors did all this was not
that they wanted to be liked by students, but that professors did not want to be bothered and pretense was the easy way out.
College is an altogether forgiving world. (Para. 3-5)
No matter what slight effort students made, they could meet the demand. A. When students broke appointments, professors make new ones. B. When the deadline was missed, professors pretended not to care. C. Boring talks were considered to be important.
C. Low grades or low GPA means no fine graduate school, no degree. D. Everyone has to take midterms and finals. E. No teachers have “pretended not to care” when deadlines are not kept.
The points Ida Timothee’s going to argue against (Para. 1)
A. Students have been made to believe that “failure leaves no record” .
B. College is not a preparatory school for life.
Ida argues against Neusner’s point that college is not preparing students for real life. (Para. 3)
During the college years, we start to be independent, make crucial decisions and are responsible for them. Supporting evidence: A. We learn to budget our time and money. B. We are tolerant enough to survive in a crowded triple room. C. We meet people from different parts of the world.
We take no pride in our educational achievement because we have inadequately prepared students for the real world.
