The University is one of Europe's largest research universities with 7,900 scientific publications each year. It is the largest university in the Netherlands by the number of students. The campus is located primarily in the City Center of Amsterdam, with a few faculties located in adjacent boroughs.

The National University of Singapore is Singapore's oldest university. It is the largest university in the country in terms of the number of students and curriculum offered. It was formed with the merger（合并）of the University of Singapore and Nanyang University in 1980. The merger was done in part due to the government's desire to pool the two institutions' resources into a single and promote English as Singapore's only main language. The university's campus is located in southwest Singapore at Kent Ridge, with an area of approximately 1.5 square kilometers.
Simon Fraser University
Simon Fraser University is a Canadian public research university in British Columbia with its main campus on Burnaby Moutain in Burnaby.

The downtown campus has expanded to include several other buildings in recent years. Similar to most Canadian universities, SFU is a public university, with more than half of its funding coming from taxpayers and the remaining from tuition fees. It was named after Simon Fraser, a fur trader in North West Company.

"Can I see my baby?" the happy new mother asked. She moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face. She gasped. The baby was born without ears. Time proved that the baby's hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was marred（损伤）.
One day he rushed home from school, buried himself into his mother's arms and cried out "A boy, a big boy…called me a freak（怪胎）." She sighed, knowing that his life was to be heartbreaking. But he grew up, handsome and a favorite with his classmates for his misfortune. He might have been class president, but for that.
He later displayed a talent for literature and music. The boy's father talked with the family physician to see if nothing could be done. "I believe I could transplant a pair of outer ears, if we could get them," the doctor decided. So the search began for a person who would make such a sacrifice for a young man. Two years went by. Then, "You are going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it's a secret," said the father.
The operation was a brilliant success, and a new person appeared. His talents blossomed into genius, and school and college became a series of success. He had a good job and married. "But I must know" he urged his father, "who gave so much for me! I could never do enough for him."
"I do not believe you could, "said the father, "but the agreement is that you are not to know…not yet." The years kept their secret, but the day did come, one of the darkest days for a son. He stood with his father beside his mother's coffin.
"Your mum said she was glad she never let her hair be cut, "his father whispered gently," and nobody ever thought her less beautiful, did they?"
4. What can we learn about the boy?
A. He was born deaf. B. He was elected class president.
C. He was gifted in literature and music. D. He was on bad terms with classmates.
5. When was the secret exposed?
A. Before an operation. B. In a funeral.
C. Until the boy graduated. D. During a family gathering.
6. Who donated the ears to the boy?
A. His father. B. His mother. C. A suitable donor. D. His family physician.
7. Which might be the best title of the passage?
A. Parents' Agreement B. Born with Disability
C. Mother's Responsibility D. The Secret of Outer Ears
C
Doctors commonly view excessive（过多的）daytime sleepiness as a sign of disturbed or inadequate sleep. But a new study suggests it could also signal depression or even diabetes（糖尿病）, regardless of whether an individual doesn't sleep well.
Among a random sample of 16,500 men and women ranging in age from 20 to 100 years old from central Pennsylvania, 8.7 percent had excessive daytime sleepiness.
Researchers, who considered a wide range of possible reasons for why these individuals were excessively sleepy during the daytime, found that excessive daytime sleepiness was more strongly associated with depression, diabetes and overweight than with sleep-disordered breathing.
Depression was by far the most significant risk factor for excessive daytime sleepiness, researchers reported in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. The likelihood of being excessively sleepy during the daytime was more than three times higher in those who reported they were being treated for depression. The researchers also observed strong ties between excessive daytime sleepiness and diabetes. Individuals reporting treatment for diabetes were close to two times more likely to report excessive daytime sleepiness than those who were not being treated for diabetes. Being overweight also increased the likelihood of excessive daytime sleepiness.
Excessive daytime sleepiness was more common in people younger than age 30, who were in a state of unmet sleep needs and depression. As for the over-75 crowd, increasing medical illness and health problems were the causes.
Sleep-disordered breathing—brief episodes when breathing stops during sleep—was not a significant player in excessive daytime sleepiness. This was consistent with prior studies that had reported only weak associations between sleep-disordered breathing and excessive daytime sleepiness.
8. Which of the following is slightly associated with excessive daytime sleepiness?
A. Depression. B. Overweight. C. Diabetes. D. Sleep-disordered breathing.
9. What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A. Treatment for diabetes can make patients sleepy.
B. Depression is linked with overweight and diabetes.
C. Excessive daytime sleepiness contributes to depression.
D. Overweight may result in excessive daytime sleepiness.
10. Which may lead to the over-75 crowd suffering from excessive daytime sleepiness?
A. Medical conditions. B. Lack of sleep. C. Breathing problem. D. Depression.
11. What does the passage talk about?
A. The reasons for excessive daytime sleepiness.
B. The consequences of excessive daytime sleepiness.
C. The approaches to curing excessive daytime sleepiness.
D. The features of excessive daytime sleepiness.
D
Amazingly for the British, who love queues, there is no formal line-up. The bar staff are skilled at knowing whose turn it is. You are permitted to try to attract attention, but there are rules about how to do this. Do not call out, tap coins on the counter, or wave like a drowning swimmer. Do not sigh or roll your eyes. And whatever you do, do not ring the bell hanging behind the counter. This is used by the landlord to signal closing time. The key thing is to catch the bar workers' eyes. You could also hold an empty glass or some money, but do not wave them about. Do adopt an expectant, hopeful, even slightly anxious facial expression. If you look too complacent, the bar staff may assume you are already being served.
Always say "please" and try to avoid some of the British bar staff's annoyance. They do not like people to keep others waiting while they make up their minds. They don't like people standing against the bar when there are a lot of customers wanting for service. And they do not like people who wait until the end of the order and ask for such drinks as Guinness Stout which take considerably longer to pour than other drinks.
One Dutch tourist who spent six months visiting 800 of Britain's 61,000 bars and interviewing 50 bar workers and more than 1,000 customers said, "I can not understand how the British ever manage to buy themselves a drink." But they do, and if you follow these tips you should be able to do so, too.
Speaking of tips, you should never offer the bar staff cash. The correct behavior is to offer them a drink. Bars pride themselves on their equal atmosphere. A tip in cash would be a reminder of their service role. However, the offer of a drink is a friendly gesture.
12. What does the underlined word "complacent" in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Contented. B. Worried. C. Polite. D. Annoyed.
13. How should customers attract the bar staff's attention?
A. To tap coins on the counter. B. To hold an empty glass or some money.
C. To wave like drowning swimmers. D. To ring the bell hanging behind the counter.
14. What does the writer suggest people do in bars?
A. Correct bar staff's misbehaviors. B. Tip bar staff in cash.
C. Offer people present a drink. D. Help to maintain the equal atmosphere.
15. Which column might the passage be taken from?
A. Health. B. Culture. C. Economy. D. Politics.

Every day we hear about people making career changes. The opportunities exist. 16
Following are four practical steps towards coming to terms with why you do what you're doing. Realize that your job does not define you, but how you do it does. There's a lot to be said for attitude. Any job can be done well, done with compassion, done with care. 17 They have a profound influence on the people you work with.
Find the significance in what you do. Take some time to really think about what you do. Do you provide an essential service? Do you get to see the finished product? Do you give direction that gets things done? Then ask yourself "How is this job done differently because I am doing it?" 18
Dare to ask yourself if it's worth it. If you can't find the part of your job that you like, or if you can see yourself turning into the person you said you would never be, consider the reasons. It may not be a new job that you need, just a new direction. 19 If not, are there changes you can make to the way you do your job or is the job itself the problem? Learn to say "no". As much as you can choose the things you spend your time on, don't attend events or meetings only because everyone expects it.
20 Money will never be enough so stop using it（or the lack of it）as an excuse. Try tracking every penny you spend in a week. Seeing where your money is really going can help you to refocus your spending towards the things you really want. Getting paid is only one small part of what you do, your work has to be more than just a paycheck to be fulfilling.
A. What you earn counts.
B. Stop focusing on the money.
C. Do you like yourself doing the job?
D. Those help you make a wise judgement.
E. Try to remember why you took the job in the first place.
F. But will all these changes make us any happier once we get there?
G. Your attitude at work and the way you treat people do not go unnoticed.

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I have always been an introvert（内向的）person, not talking a lot and not hanging around too much. Luckily, I have a good friend, Vishu. She is active, fearless and outspoken. I am too shy to come out of my shell and she is everything I am not. Better still, she is so loving and caring towards me. Not a day goes by when I don't thank God for blessing me with such a good friend.
However, several days ago, a fight broke out between me and Vishu. There was nothing to fight about yet we did fight and things have changed since then.
What happened was, a few days back when I arrived at school, I saw Vishu talking happily with some other classmates. I walked towards them and I was on the point of saying "Hi" when I heard my name mentioned. I stopped, wondering what they were talking about. Then, "She is sometimes mean and too quiet." came into my ear. I was stunned. I couldn't believe my best friend said so. As it seemed, I was wrong about my friend, at least I thought of her to be my true friend but that day I felt that I barely knew her anymore.
When she saw me standing there looking at her angrily, she knew I had heard everything. She tried to explain by saying "You are my best friend. When I said you were mean, what I meant was…". I had a lot to say to her but I could not just because of my sense of pride. I said "You are not good enough to be my friend." I walked away without giving her any chance to say a word. I thought that walking alone was much better than walking with people for whom you mean nothing.

Dear Henry,
How’s everything going? I am writing to you for your help because we have come across some problems while planning an art exhibition named “Teenagers and the Environment”.
The exhibition is about what we teenagers can do to help our environment. Things like time, place and target people have been settled. However, what bothers us are the standard of choosing suitable works and things we should pay special attention to. Knowing that you have organized relevant activities, I am wondering if you could offer us some help. I would be grateful if you could take the trouble to give us some face-to-face instructions.
Yours,

I went back home feeling it was the worst day ever. Lying on the bed with my face buried in the quilt, I couldn’t help thinking about the unforgettable moments we had gone through together. Memories brought me back to the day when I went to the school canteen alone as usual. I was about to put on the earphones to avoid awkwardness when Vishu came to me asking if she could sit with me. In no time, I raised my head and refused. But she seemed to know my situation and just sat down with a shining smile. Introvert as I was, her enthusiasm started to change my dull life.
I decided to make up for it and write her a letter. What I was sure was that I did not want to lose her as my friend. In the letter, I conveyed my apology for being so rude and my sincere appreciation for all her help and care for me. A wave of relief washed over me the moment I saw her smile after reading the letter. Tears welling up in our eyes, we hugged each other tightly and promised to be lifelong friends. When making some mistakes, it is never too late to apologize.
