Research shows that the summer before college can be a dangerous time for teenagers,as they are between home and high school on the one side,and a more challenging and independent existence as a college student on the other.

Take drinking for example.Research has reported that teenagers tend to increase their alcohol use during the summer before college and in their first term.Such drinking can lead to tragedy: it's estimated that more than 1,100 college students at 18 to 24 years of age die each year from alcohol-related injuries,including car crashes,and almost 600,000 are injured under the influence of alcohol.

In addition to drinking,future freshmen may also have gaps in their knowledge about other aspects of university life.A study has found that students are “generally aware” of the fact that they have to place them into college courses and their school's curricular requirements.In addition,many students hold misunderstandings such as “Getting into college is the hardest part”,and “I can take whatever classes I want when I get to college”.In fact,students’courses may be determined by their level of preparation.

It is found that college-bound high-school graduates are faced with a number of potentially frightening tasks during the summer.For example,colleges typically require students to take placement tests(分班考試)and fill out a lot of paperwork,including housing and medical forms,over the summer.Completing these tasks may be especially frightening for low-income and first-generation college-bound students whose families may be short of experience with the college-going process.

In addition,it's only in the summer after high-school graduation when students face the reality of paying the first college bill,which often includes unexpected costs like required health insurance.For college-intending students,successfully controlling the post-high-school summer thus requires a level of finance that may be unrelated to their ability to succeed in the classroom.As a result,students who have already broken through many barriers to college admission may fail to enter college.

Paring college-bound students with “fellow advisers”---students already in college who have been trained to support and coach their learners through the summer---improves the rate at which the learners show up at college.Even more wonderful,a low-cost campaign of text messages---in which researchers sent recent high-school graduates and their parents a series of eight to ten text-message reminders of key tasks to complete over the summer---is just as effective in increasing the rate of students who successfully make the change to college.

A little “summer pushing” could be a key step in getting students all the way across the finish line.

“Do you like doing things for people?”I asked a friend.

“Yes,most of the time,”she replied.

“Most of the time?”

“Well,I love to do things that are unexpected. I like to do little things most people wouldn't think about doing,”she said.

“But why did you say most of the time?”

“Well,sometimes after doing those little things people take advantage of you.I mean,they expect you to do it again.They ask you to do it.That's when I don't like it.”

It was odd that I had this conversation.This just happened to me.I love to do little things.I will pay for a meal card for the people in the office every time we have a meeting there.Not a big thing.It's a little thing.$5.30 will pay for almost five lunches.Hey,big spender!

I also bought a bag of animal crackers for a friend at work.She was having a tough day and not very happy at all.I drove down to the Wal-Mart and picked up a huge bag for under $2.00.Her smile was worth it.

But one week she said,“Bob,we ran out of crackers.We love them so much.” I didn't want to do it.I smiled and she persisted. I finally admitted,“It's different when I do it because I want to,but now you are trying to make me go to get them.It's not the same.”But I bought it for her.

Unfortunately,a big fire in my family took away all the possessions we had. I didn't know what to do and how to do it.What happened to me then surprised me most.I once had my bike repaired,but the repairman said “no charge”on hearing my sufferings.A stranger called James Kennedy read some pieces I'd written about our sufferings for Slate,the online magazine,and wanted to give us a new house across the lake from New Orleans.I refused but I felt moved. Another poet at the University of Florida also wanted to let his house to me free of charge while he was on holiday.My mates gave us more money for us to rebuild my home.When you do something kind for others,do you always get rewarded? Yes,but not in the way you might expect.

科目:高中英語 來源:2016屆河北省保定市高三期末調(diào)研英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

Who needs guard dogs when you have wolves , right? That’s probably what Kazakh villagers in the Almaty region though when they decided to replace their dogs with the fierce forest dwelling beasts. According to local news reports, taming(馴化的) wolves is now the latest trend and a sort of hobby among rural Kazakhs.

Nurseit Zhylkyshybay, a farmer from the south-eastern Almaty region, told reporters that he purchased a wolf cub from hunters three years ago, and the animal is now perfectly tamed.

Kurtka, Nurseit’s pet wolf, lives in the family’s yard and takes long walks through the village with his master. “He’s never muzzled,” Nurseit insisted. “I rarely put him on a chain and do take him for regular walks around the village. Our family and neighbors aren’t scared of him at all.”

But wolf expert Almas Zhaparov said that the animals are ‘far too dangerous’ to keep at home. “A wolf is like a ticking bomb, it can go off at any moment,” he warned. “If nothing is done, the fashion could spread to the wealthy Kazakhs, who might try to keep wolves in the grounds of their houses, with possibly deadly consequences.” Social media users also expressed worry about the trend, accusing the government for failing to limit the practice.

Nevertheless, the wolves don’t seem to be posing an immediate threat. If visuals from news reports are anything to go by, the beasts look pretty happy with their new lifestyle, and appear quite fond of their new masters, not unlike dogs.

1.The writer uses the example of Kurtka to show that____________.

A. wolves can be tamed.

B. wolves are like ticking bombs

C. wolves like living with humans

D. keeping wolves at home is easy

2.The underlined word “muzzled” in Para 3 means___________.

A. puzzled B. beaten

C. got his mouth covered D. got changed

3.According to Almas Zhaparov, keeping wolves at home is___________.

A. a fashion B. a disaster

C. a necessity D. a hone

4.What can we learn from the text?

A. Wolves are easy to get tamed.

B. A pet wolf can become aggressive at any moment.

C. The government will prevent people taming wolves as pets.

D. Wolves are as loyal to their masters as dogs are.
