High school seems bigger. There are  36 kids and it’s a totally new environment. It could be a  37 time for new students,  38 ,in fact, it isn’t really that bad.
The first day of course is always terrifying, but, then again, the first day of middle school was probably the  39 .Of course you might get lost during the first few days  40 your classes, but after a while what seems like a large school really isn’t.
One thing that’s really cool about high school is that there are so many more classes that you can  41 .For example, if you like  42 ,there are many art classes. At the same time, there are  43 classes, which you can’t take in middle school  44 photography and psychology(心理学).There are many new things in high school that make it much more  45 .
In high school, you’re able to join more clubs, play more sports, and take part in more  46 ,and at the same time make new friends with kids with the same  47 as you. Also, these activities can give you a  48 to learn something that you might not have had the opportunity to learn in  49 .
High school is different  50 everyone, but there’s one thing that’s  51 .You’re going to have just as much fun here as you  52 before. But having fun isn’t enough though! You’re  53 so you have to be more responsible. Everything changes when you get  54 ,but the changes aren’t that bad. You  55 worry too much about growing up.

By the time a student starts to apply (申请) for a US university, much of his or her record, including grades and after-school activities, has been set in stone. For this reason, the student must in his or her first year of high school start getting ready for college. He or she also has to decide on the non-academic (非学业的) tasks, which are important to improve the student’s chances of getting in.
1. After-school activities
When it comes to high school activities, quality is better than quantity (数量). Admissions (录取) officers do not want to see a student who has joined dozens of organizations (组织) for a short period of time.
Many students try to do this towards the end of their high school. But schools want to see a student who has been with one organization for all or most of high school. A student who can do this shows maturity (成熟). It is the quality that admissions officers look for as it is one of the markers of future success.
2. Leadership
Schools want to see a student who has taken on a leadership role in an organization. A student can show leadership by taking on any role that needs extra commitment (奉献) and responsibility.
If you do not have a great title (头衔) such as president, be sure to explain any leadership roles you have taken. This kind of involvement (参与) in school activities shows you are the responsible person that admissions officers look for.
3. Consistency (一致性)
Admissions officers like an application (申请) to be consistent. For example if there is a high school activity you particularly (特别地) love, it would help if that activity matches your future academic and career interest.
Of course not everything needs to be consistent. Otherwise (否则) the student would be narrow and this is not what schools are looking for. However, you cannot have different parts of your application saying conflicting (矛盾的) things.
小题1:Who was the article written for?
A.US college students hoping to study in China.
B.Chinese college students hoping to study in the US.
C.Third year high school students hoping to study in the US.
D.Teenagers hoping to study in the US.
小题2:The underlined phrase "set in stone" in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.
A.made clearB.something unchangeable
C.become obviousD.at the right level(水平)
小题3:The author’s suggestion is to ______.
A.try as many different organizations as possible
B.start planning for college at the beginning of high school
C.make everything in an application consistent
D.put non-academic tasks before academic tasks
小题4:According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Students should choose after-school activities they have great interest in.
B.It’s already too late for first year students to apply for a US university.
C.It is necessary for a student to be a president if he/she is to apply for a US university.
D.Students should concentrate on just one activity in high school.

Women are now as likely to use the Internet as men—about two-thirds of both genders, yet a new study shows that gaps remain in what each sex does online.
American men who go online are more likely than women to check the weather, the news, sports, political and financial information, the Pew Internet and American Life Project reported Wednesday. They are also more likely to use the Internet to download music and software and to take a class.
Online women, meanwhile, are bigger users of e-mail, and they are also more likely to go online for religious information and support for health or personal problems.
“For men, it’s just, ‘give me the facts,’” said Deborah Fallows, who wrote the report based on six years of Pew surveys, “For women, its ‘Let’s talk about this. Are you worried about this problem?’ It’s keeping in touch and connecting with people in a richer way.”
About two- thirds of the 6,403 adults surveyed by Pew during 2005 said they use the Internet. By gender, it was 68%of the male respondents, and 66%of the female participants---a statistically insignificant(不重要的)difference given the study’s margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2%points. In 2002, by contrast, the gap was slightly larger: 61%vs. 57%.
The surveys find that for many activities, such as getting travel information or looking up a phone number, men and women are equally likely to use the Internet.
小题1: According to the passage, which of the following is not what American men who go online do?
A.Checking the weather and the news.B.Searching for religious information.

A.There are some difference between men and women in the US.
B.There is a slight difference between the numbers of men and women online in the US.
C.Men and women in the US have difference tastes about what they do online.
D.Men and women in the US have difference way of surfing the Internet.
小题3:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.A small part of women in the US go on line today.
B.Women in the US going on line are only concerned with personal problems.
C.Men are still more likely to use the Internet than women.
D.The gap between both sexes going online in 2002 was slightly larger than that in 2005.
小题4: What’s the author’s purpose of writing the article?
A.To tell us the different aims of men and women in the US who go online.
B.To show why men and women are equally likely to use the Internet.
C.To teach us how to surf the Internet.
D.To offer us some information of both sexes’ going online in the US.
