American movies create myths about college life in the United States These stories are entertaining, but they are not true You have to look beyond Hollywood movies to understand what college is really like
Thanks to the movies, many people believe that college students party and socialize more than they study Movies almost never show students working hard in class or in the library Instead, movies show them eating, talking, hanging out, or dancing to loud music at wild parties While it is true that American
students have the freedom to participate in activities, they also have academic responsibilities In order
to succeed, they have to attend classes and study hard
Another movie myth is that athletics is the only important extracurricular activity In fact, there is a wide variety of nonacademic activities on campus such as special clubs, service organizations, art, and theater programs This variety allows students to choose what interests them Even more important, after
graduation, students’ résumés look better to employers if they list a few extracurricular activities
Most students in the movies can easily afford higher education If only this were true! While it is true
that some American college students are wealthy, most are from families with moderate incomes Up to
80% of them get some type of financial aid Students from middle and lower-income families often work part-time throughout their college years There is one thing that many college students have in common, but it is not something you will see in the movies They have parents who think higher education is a priority, a necessary and important part of their children's lives
Movies about college life usually have characters that are extreme in some way: super athletic, super intelligent, super wealthy, super glamorous, etc Movies use these stereotypes, along with other myths of romance and adventure because audiences like going to movies that include these elements Of course, real college students are not like movie characters at all
So the next time you want a taste of the college experience, not go to the movies Look at some
college websites or brochures instead Take a walk around your local college campus Visit a few classes True, you may not be able to see the same people or exciting action you will see in the movies, but you can be sure that there are plenty of academic adventures going on all around you !

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.
The need for a surgical operation, especially an emergency operation, almost always comes as a severe shock to the patient and his family Despite modern advances, most people still have an irrational fear of hospitals and anaesthetics Patients not often believe they really need surgery- cutting into a part of the body as opposed to treatment with drugs
In the early year of the 20th century, there was little specialization in surgery A good surgeon was
capable of performing almost every operation that had been advised up to that time Today the situation is different Operations are now being carried out that were not even dreamed of fifty years ago The heart
can be safely opened and its valves repaired Clogged blood vessels can be clean out, and broken ones
mended and replaced A lung, the whole stomach, or even part of the brain can be removed and still permit the patient to live a comfortable and satisfactory life However, not every surgeon wants to, or is qualified to carry out every type of modern operation
The scope of surgery has increase remarkably in the past decades Its safety has increased, too Deaths from most operations are about 20% of what they were in 1910 and surgery has been extended in many directions, for example, to certain types of birth defects in new born babies, and at the other end of
the scale, to life-saving operation for the octogenarian The hospital stay after surgery has been
shortened to as little as a week for most major operations Most patients are out of bed on the day after an operation and may be back at work in two or three weeks
One of the most revolutionary areas of modern surgery is that of organ transplants Until a few decades ago, no person, except an identical twins, was able to accept into his body the tissues of another person without reacting against them and eventually killing them Recently, however, it has been discovered that with the use of X-rays and special drugs, it is possible to graft tissues from one person to another which will survive for periods of a year or more Kidneys have been successfully transplanted between non-identical twins Heart and lung transplants have also been reasonably successful
“Spare parts” surgery, the simple routine replacement of all worn-out organs by new ones, is still a dream of the future but surgery is ready for such miracles In the meantime, you can be happy if the doctors say to you: “Yes, I think it is possible to operate on you for this condition.”
Question 43 Most people are afraid of being operated on _ A in spite of improvements in modern surgery
B because they think modern drugs are dangerous C because they not believe they need anesthetics D unless it is an emergency operation
(5)A had less to learn about surgery B needed more knowledge
C were more trusted by their patients D could perform every operation known today
Question 45 A patient can still live a comfortable life even after the removal of _ A his brain
B a major organ such as the stomach or one lung C his lungs
D part of the stomach or the whole liver
Question 46 The word “clogged” is most likely to correspond to _
A clean B blocked C covered D unwashed
Question 47 Today, compared with 1910 _ A 20% fewer of all operation patients die
B 20% of all operation patients recover C operation deaths have increased by 20%
D five times fewer patients die after being operated on
Question 48 What is the similar meaning to the word “octogenarian ” ?
A eighteen-year-old B person in his eighties
C person having eighth operation D eye specialist
Question 49 The main difficulty with organ transplants is _ A it is difficult to find organs of the same size
B only identical twins can give permission for their organs to be exchanged
C the body’s tendency to reject alien tissues
D the patient is not allowed to use drugs after them
Question 50 You can be happy if your surgeon can operate because it means
A he thinks your condition may be curable B he is a good doctor
C he knows you will survive D you are getting better already

You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to
them Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to
others But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research on emotional expressions has centered on such questions
(9)species Smiles, for example, signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in such far- flung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland , Sumatra ,the United States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea , and the Eskimo villages north of Artic Circle Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and surprise There are, however, huge differences across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays – the so called display rules In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses – especially negative ones- while many American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly Regardless of culture, however, emotions usually show themselves, to some degree , in people’s behavior From their first days of life, babies produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings
The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too Very young children pay close attention to facial expressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on people’s
faces This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret a
basic set of human emotions Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over a century ago, some emotional expressions seem to appear across species boundaries Cross - cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry different meanings in different cultures For example, what emotion you suppose might be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust, while in China it can signify surprise Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just as easily mean embarrassment Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions
Question 43 According to the passage, we respond to others by _
A observing their looks B watching their actions
C observing their emotional expressions D looking at their faces
Question 44 Many studies on emotional expressions try to answer the question whether A different cultures have similar emotional expressions
B eyebrow raising means the same in Minneapolis and Madagascar C raising the eyebrows has similar meaning to rounding the mouth
D rounding the mouth has the same meaning in Minneapolis and Madagascar
Question 45 The word “ evolved” in line is closest in meaning to
A reduced B increased C simplified D developed
Question 46 Paul Ekman is mentioned in the passage as an example of A lacked many main ingredients
B researchers on universal language
C researchers who can speak and understand many languages D investigators on universal emotional expressions
Question 47 The biggest difference lies in
A how long negative emotions are displayed B how intensive emotions are expressed C how emotional responses are controlled D how often positive emotions are shown Question 48 Unlike American children, Asian children are encouraged to _
A.control their emotions B display their emotions openly
C conceal their positive emotions D change their behaviour
Question 49 The phrase “ this evidence” in line 21 refers to _
A the fact that children are good at recognizing others’ emotions B human facial expressions
C a biological underpinning for humans to express emotions D the fact that children can control their feelings
Question 50 The best title for the passage is
A.Cultural universals in emotional expressions
B Ways to control emotional expressions
C review of research on emotional expressions D Human habit of displaying emotions
