11．University-the best days of my life!I made lots of friends in my student dorm，went to great parties，joined the debating society…and，well，I did some work too-but I must admit my lecturers were very patient with my tardiness（拖拉）．
It's easy to look back at our university days through  rose-tinted spectacles but the truth is that when we first arrived on campus，most of us were out of our comfort zone．
In fact，a survey of students at Imperial College London has revealed that 3out of 4students experience high levels of stress，or a mental health condition，during their time at college．The survey，completed by over a thousand students，also found that 70% of those that experience stress do so at least once a week，and 9% of students feel stressed constantly．
Kirsty，a student at Exeter University，didn't enjoy her first days in college．She says："When I first got to university I don't think I'd realized that I'd forgotten how to make friends．I'd been with the same
school friends for seven years，and so I was trying to balance social success with academic success while learning how to look after myself at quite a young age．"
Dr Ruth Caleb of the counseling service at Brunel University in London has some tips that should make life easier for students before they set off for university．She says："Certain things that I think it would be very helpful for students to have put in place are an ability to do the practical things of life-to do the washing，to do the cleaning and so on-being able to cook．Budgeting is extremely important in university life．"And Caleb adds："You should learn how to spend time on your own comfortably．"
I graduated and learnt how to take care of myself the hard way．I hope that new students these days remember to acquire some life skills before they make the big jump．

C．Looking after herself at quite an early age．
D．Trying to achieve academic success．
43．Which of the following tips are helpful or important EXCEPTD according to Dr．Ruth Caleb？
A．having the ability to cook
B．being able to do the cleaning
C．learning how to spend money on one's own
D．balancing social success and academic success

A．During the first few days at college for new students，most of them felt comfortable．
B．According to a survey，most students at Imperial College London suffered from stress at college．
C．The lecturers are always tolerant of college students'improper behavior．
D．Acquiring some life skills isn't that important to new students．
45．What does the author probably mean by saying"I graduated and learnt how to take care of myself the hard way"？B
A．He quickly adapted to the new environment when he first arrived on campus．
B．He graduated from college with many achievements．
C．It might have taken him some time to get used to college life．

2．Two British colonies
Australia，the last continent，was discovered by ships belonging to some European nations in the 17th century．These nations were less interested in changing it into a colony than exploring it．As in the early history of the United States，it was the English （33）who/that set up the settlements in America．This history and the geography of these two British colonies have some （34）other things in common．
Australia and the United States are about equal in size，and neither of their western lands are rich in soil．It was along the eastern coast of Australia and America that the English first settled，and both colonies soon began to develop towards the west．However，this Westward Movement took place more because the English （35）were searching （search） for better land than because the population was increasing．Settlements of the western part of both countries developed quickly after gold （36）was discovered （discover） in America in 1849and in Australia two years later．
Although the development of these two countries has a lot in common，there are some striking differences as well．The United States gained its independence from England by revolution while Australia won its independence without （37）going （go） to war．Australia，firstly （38）turned （turn） into a colony by English prisoners，was unlike the United States，and its economic development was in wheat growing and sheep raising．By 1922，for example，Australia had fifteen times more sheep than it had people，or almost half as many sheep as there are people now in the United States．Yet，（39）in spite of  these and other main differences，Australia and the United States have more in common with each other than either one （40）has （have） with the rest of the world．
