By studying for a double major, although you will be studying for only one degree, you will be focusing on two related and integrated subjects that complement (补充) each other. Classes overlap between the majors, meaning fewer classes are required than with a double degree, so it is easier to finish within four years.
In contrast, with the more rigorous (严格的) double degree, you will be studying for two different degrees in two completely different areas of study. Although pursuing such a course of study allows students to complete two wholly separate degrees in less time than if they were to earn them separately, many strong students still find it incredibly difficult to complete in four or five years.
If you are committed to a double major/degree, it is wise to do a little bit of planning. Some students try to find two courses of studies that are related, while others seek to round out their academic studies by choosing two completely unrelated fields.
For double majors, common pairings include: (i) economics and a foreign language; (ii) political science or government and journalism; (iii) economics and psychology.
For double degrees, common pairings include: (i) engineering and a business program such as finance or accounting; (ii) engineering and economics.

| C．need to spend more time than obtaining a double degree |
| D．have to take courses in two completely different areas of study |
| A．find two subjects with overlapping classes |
| B．learn about what your potential employers want |
| C．decide what to learn with your intentions considered |
| D．try to decide on some common pairings as soon as possible |
A. Economics is a major while engineering is a degree.
B. Every college student should take a double major or degree.
C. Earning a double degree is more difficult than obtaining a double major.
D Some students choose two completely unrelated fields to show their ability in academic study.
However, psychologists have found that, on average, people"s moods remain about the same on each day throughout the week.
To start their research, the University of Sydney scientists asked around 200 people what they thought their mood would be on each day of the week.
Most said their worst moods were on Monday mornings and evenings but they became increasingly cheerful as the week went on, with their best moods falling on Friday and Saturday mornings and evenings.
When asked why they believed that Friday and Saturday were best, respondents said they saw them as less-structured days when they could choose how to spend their time.
The psychologists then asked a further 350 people how they felt each day.
They found that, on average, people"s moods remained about the same on each day throughout the week.Mondays were not as depressing as they had feared and Fridays and Saturdays were not as exciting as predicted.
Professor Charles Areni, who led the study, said the day-of-the-week stereotypes (陈词滥调) stem from a cultural belief that people are generally happier when they are free to choose their activities compared to when they are engaged in paid work.
In reality, he said, weekends do not often see moods change because they are frequently dominated by productive activities that may require large amounts of energy and begin to feel tired like work. "Day-of-the-week stereotypes like Monday morning blues and Thank God It"s Friday are largely illusions," he said.
小题1: _________ has always been thought as the unhappiest day of a week.
| A．Monday | B．Wednesday | C．Friday | D．Sunday |
| A．work seems to be endless on Wednesday |
| B．it is the most-structured day of a week |
| C．they have just had their weekend |
| D．weekend is still a couple of days’ away |
| A．All of the people asked admitted that on Monday they had the worst moods. |
| B．Saturday and Sunday were the best because people could plan their time freely. |
| C．There was no sharp difference in people’s moods between each day of the week. |
| D．Different people had different ideas about which day was the worst in a week. |
| A．the productive activities requiring a large amount of energy |
| B．the cultural belief that doing paid work is usually less pleasant than doing freely chosen work |
| C．the illusions of day-of-the-week stereotypes |
| D．the days in a week when our mood reaches its lowest points |
Him: Mom, we have to start buying Danimals．
Me: Why?
Him: So, I can bring it to |school for lunch．It"s yogurt ．
Me: Why do you want it so badly?
Him: Because Danimals i|s giving away five fantastic Caribbean vacations．
I had to explain that there was little chance that he would win a vacation．It"s a strategy used to encourage kids to beg for artificially-colored （人工着色的） yogurt that costs a lot．
Marketing follows my kids —and yours—wherever they go ．It comes via TV commercials． Store displays and websites are also constantly selling at our kids ．But the most powerful means in kids" lives is the presence of licensed characters on every product imaginable．
Children can begin their day in character clothing．There"s even character -themed wall paint available．A breakfast in a character bowl can be followed by a character toothbrush and character toothpaste（牙膏）, character soap and shampoo, and a character wash cloth and towel ．Then, they can put on character clothing and character shoes．Check that, character clock on the wall: Is it time for characier-shaped fruit snacks yet?
Surround kids with enough of the characters and they"ll come to believe they need them．Most of us, of course, don"t buy all those items．But say no to four products out of five and your home can still get filled with these tiny items encouraging brand loyalty （品牌忠诚）
At this time of year, parents buy licensed school supplies．With so much marketing around us, it can be to
ugh to stop the tide．"One thing that helps parents"is that they can talk to other parents about, this kind of thing," Linn suggested ．"If you decide you want to buck this, it helps to find other people who will do the same thing ．That way, if your child says．"Everyone"s doing it," you can really have a sense of whether everyone is．" |
小题1:From the dialogue between the author and the son, we can infer that ____-
| A．the son likes drinking yogurt a lot． |
| B．buying Danimals may win a free tour |
| C．the son"s school encourages kids to eat yogurt |
| D．Danimals in the most popular yogurt among kids． |
| A．character bowls increase kids" appetite． |
| B．character-themed wall paint is expensive |
| C．household goods are becoming the target of advertisers． |
| D．Linn considered character-themed products a foolish marketing strategy． |
| A．support | B．resist | C．advertise | D．learn |
| A．Marketing is affecting kids all the time． |
| B．Most kids now don"t have a happy childhood, |
| C．Kids like buying licensed school supplies a lot. |
| D．Licensed character produce are doing great harm to kids. |
te accessories(配饰)．Yet these are not girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies．A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favouring the same high street looks worn by those half their age．Professor Julia Twigg, a social policy expert, said, “Women over 75 are now shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s．In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter．It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years — now you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to．Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly．”
Professor Twigg analysed family expenditure(支出) data
and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the same — at 5 or 6 percent of spending — the amount of clothes bought had risen sharply．The professor said, “Clothes are now 70 percent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East．In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from, but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere．Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them．”
Fashion designer Angela Barnard, who runs her own fashion business in London, said older women were much more affected celebrity(名流) style than in previous years．
She said, “When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties, they want to follow them．Older women are much more aware of celebrities ．There’s also the boom in TV programmes showing people how they can change their look, and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties．When I started my business a few years ago, my older customers tended to be very rich, but now they are what I would call ordinary women．My own mother is 61 and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago．”
小题1:Professor Twigg found that, compared with the 1960s, _________．

in London is a serious non – white phenomenon, with 165 of the 225 under- 18s accused of knife crime in the past three months being from the black or other non – white groups．According to Scotland Yard, only 60 of the 225 crimes were white．Despite being a small minority of the knife holding criminals, whites did, however, make up the single largest group of victims of knife crime．
According to t
he Scotland Yard report, whites made up 222 of the 637 victims of knife crime over the last three months．This number could probably be higher, as 292 victims were not identified by race．This month Scotland Yard Deputy Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson suggested knife crime has replaced drug selling as the top concern
for London police．Sir Paul said so as he announced a specialist knife crime unit to deal with teenagers carrying knives in the capital．It will use a team of 75 specialist officers to find criminal group members and their supporters．
Detective Inspector, George Rhoden, president of the National Organisation of Black Law Enforcement Executives said, “In the black community we have all noticed that there is major concern about gun and knife crime．Clearly we are not the only part of the community affected by the problem of children who have no fathers, but parental responsibility should be of major concern.”Around 59 percent of black Caribbean children and 54 percent of mixed – race youngsters are looked after by a lone parent．In the white British population, the number is 22
percent．小题1:From the above, we can see that in knife crimes in London．
| A．there are more whites than blacks as victims |
| B．there are more blacks than whites as victims |
| C．blacks make up the smallest group of criminals |

| C．knife crime used to be the top concern for London police |
| D．London police now pay no attention to drug selling |
| A．Punishing the parents of teenagers carrying knives． |
| B．Arresting the teenagers carrying knives． |
| C．Forming a specialist knife crime unit． |
| D．Fining the teenagers carrying knives． |
| A．That they are poorly educated． |
| B．That they are influenced by their fathers． |
| C．That many of them come from incomplete families． |
