You might think that Western students are less shy when they meet something new or come to a new environment , but the truth is that pupils in the UK can be uncomfortable too. Being at university can make Britons feel nervous. Everyone finds it difficult to talk to the other gender(性別) at school.
However, there is a way of dealing with this shyness in Britain, and it is called “Freshers Week”. Freshers Week is designed to help people socialize（適應(yīng)社會） and lose their inhibitions(拘謹(jǐn)). It is a one-week long party for first year students to welcome them before lectures and coursework begin.
I remember my first week at university—it was terrifying. I looked at the schedule for Freshers Week and was amazed at how much was planned. Every hall organizes its own events to help students become friends with the people they live with. My hall was called "Goldney Hall" and the week ahead included(包括) a talent show, a comedy night,and themed parties, including one for which we had to dress up as golfers.
The first event I went to was a school kid party at which everyone dressed up as if they were in school. This party encouraged me to talk to all the people on my floor. One boy, who lived opposite my room, was very handsome and I felt nervous speaking to him at first. But when we met at the party dressed in silly school outfits(裝備), I remember feeling a lot more relaxed speaking to him.
My Freshers Week was busy, but I managed to forget how scared I was. There is one thing's for sure: Nothing helps you lose your inhibitiongs quite like dressing up as a golfer.
【小題1】How do Britons feel when they first go to college?
【小題2】What was the name of the writer's hall?
【小題3】How many events did the writer's hall organize?
【小題4】Is the party for all students or first year students?
【小題5】What was the first event the wtiter went to?


【小題1】Nervous
【小題2】Goldney Hall
【小題3】Three.
【小題4】First year students.
【小題5】A school kid party.

解析試題分析：這篇短文主要介紹了英國的學(xué)生在剛開始上大學(xué)時也是緊張的。在英國大學(xué)里對大一新生的這一現(xiàn)象設(shè)置的‘新生周’就是解決該問題的。
【小題1】根據(jù)第一段Being at university can make Britons feel nervous 故答Nervous
【小題2】根據(jù)第三段My hall was called "Goldney Hall"故答Goldney Hall
【小題3】根據(jù)第三段the week ahead included(包括) a talent show, a comedy night,and themed parties, including one for which we had to dress up as golfers.可知有一個才藝秀，喜劇之夜，包括我們得扮成高爾夫球手的主題晚會，共三個活動，故答Three.
【小題4】根據(jù)第一段It is a one-week long party for first year students to welcome them before lectures and coursework begin.故答First year students.
【小題5】根據(jù)第四段The first event I went to was a school kid party at which everyone dressed up as if they were in school. 故答A school kid party.

It's time for school! But on May 14th, 170 students at Duncanville High School in Texas, US, were told to go back home.Why? Because they were wearing the wrong clothes to school. Schools in the US don't always ask students to wear uniforms. But they have dress codes(著裝要求).

Some students complain  (抱怨)   that schools are going too far. But schools say dress codes help protect students' safety and make sure they grow up with good taste."We want to teach them that they must meet the expectations (期望) not only here in school, but also outside school," said Andre Smith.

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代溝).
Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go some place to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!
【小題1】 According to the passage who have a communication problem?

A．parents and other people
B．only school kids and their parents
C．teachers and their students
D．parents and children of all ages
【小題2】How many pieces of advice does the writer give us to bridge the generation gap?
A．5. B．4.
C．3. D．2.
【小題3】 The underlined word “bridge” in the passage means “______”.
A．建立 B．通過
C．消除 D．到達
【小題4】 If the values of your parents are different from those of yours, you’d better ______.
A．a(chǎn)rgue with them
B．keep away from them
C．a(chǎn)gree with them all the time
D．tell your parents what you care about
