With many college graduates struggling to find jobs, one of the most important for you to understand is that you’re in school all your life. In fact, your real education is just beginning.

I’d like to pass on a few lessons that you didn’t necessarily get in school. If you’ve been out of school for a few years or a lot of years, they could still teach you something.

·Develop relationships and keep networking. If I had to name a single characteristic shared by all the truly successful people I’ve met, I’d say it is the ability to create and nurture (培育) networks of contacts. Start strengthening your relationships now, so that they’ll be in place when you really need them later. In

the classroom it was mostly about individual performance. Success in real life requires relationships.

 ·Set goals. Ask any winner what the key to his or her success was, and you’ll hear four consistent messages: vision, determination, persistence, and setting goals. If you don’t set goals and determine where you’re going, how will you know when you get there? Goals give you more than a reason to get up in the morning; they are an incentive (激勵)to keep you going all day.

·Sense of humor. I’m a firm believer in using humor, though not necessarily jokes. A good sense of humor helps one understand the unconventional( 非傳統(tǒng)的 ), tolerate the unpleasant, and overcome the unexpected. There are plenty of times to be serious, but I believe that keeping things light and comfortable encourages better teamwork.

·Volunteer. It might be hard to do a lot of volunteer work at first, but people who help others on a regular basis have a healthier outlook on life.

57. By saying “your real education is just beginning”, the author wants to   .

A. explain why it’s difficult for college graduates to find jobs

B. show the importance of social experience, besides schooling, in education[

C. advise students to value their time at school, and to study hard

D. advise college graduates to face bravely the problems they may encounter(遭遇)

58. You should start to strengthen your relationships now because   .

A. it will take you time to develop them before you need them

B. you may have gotten used to being judged as an individual, and need to change

C. successful people have no time to develop relationships with you

D. you need to spend a lot of time learning the importance of good relationships

59. The author believes that being humorous means that you   .

A. should prepare jokes to be used in various situations

B. can deal with difficult situations in an easy and comfortable way

C. can show your difference from others and be able to succeed

D. should smile all the time and avoid being serious on any occasion

60. The target readers of this passage are probably   .

A. educational experts

B. people who want to change jobs

C. college graduates who have just left school

D. high school students who are still at school

Beginning college is exciting: new ideas to explore, new challenges to be met and many decisions to be made．Your future begins here.

However, you will find college life is different from your previous school environment．Many of us can be easily overwhelmed（壓垮）by the details of running a well-balanced life．While some of us may have the know-how, I guess there are more of us who can benefit from learning about the experiences of others who have walked the college halls before you.

The following you may find of use about life on campus.

●Plan well．There are so many new things to do at a new college or university．Give yourself time to make new friends and become familiar with the campus, but don’t forget why you are there．Give some time for social activities and manage your time wisely.

●If you don’t have a “system” for planning your time now (like a day timer, a computer date book), get one．Most of all, don’t depend on your memory.

●Don’t miss the guidelines．The restrictions, rules and regulations of all kinds can usually be found in your student handbook．Consider them well-balanced food for thought．What dates are important? What pieces of paper need to be handed in? What can/ can’t you do in class? What can/ can’t you do in your student residence（住處）? Who has right for what? What do you need to complete to graduate?

●Write the word “STUDY” on the walls of our bedroom and bathroom, and maybe it will help to write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the telephone, TV and the kitchen table．Consider this—you are paying thousands of dollars for your courses．You pay every time you have to repeat or replace a course.

●Build your identity．This is the time for you to decide what to do and what not to do．Take as much time as you need to explore new ideas．Do not be afraid of the beyond．This is learning to make good choices.

Friendship can deeply affect the physical and mental health of both men and women. Studies show that people who have no friends or who are lonely, are more likely to die earlier, get sick more often and suffer greater physical wear and tear（折磨）than those who have a support system of friends.

Sometimes, family members may be more likely to give you advice or tell you what you don’t want to hear. It may not be as good as a friend who will listen to you and guide you, but support your decisions anyway. The most important elements about friendship are those who suffer support and do not judge your decisions based on society.

One reason for the link between social support and good health practice seems to be that people who feel cared for by others are less stress-out and are protected against the symptoms（癥狀）of depression and loneliness.

Generally, women benefit most because of how they deal with stress. Women are more social in how they deal with stress than men, while men are more likely to have a “fight or flight” reaction. Women also tend to have larger, denser social network, in which more people know each other and help each other, while men typically have smaller groups of friends and will rely on their wives or other important people for more support. While all these affect people psychologically（心理上）, friendship brings comfort that reduces the ill effects of stress, and the sex difference also contributes to the difference in the length of one’s life time.

In the author’s opinion, a real friend should _________.

       A．tell you what to do even if you refuse to hear it.

     B．try to persuade you to change your mind quickly.

     C．judge your decision according to his/her experience.

     D．give you advice but respect your own decision.

Women benefit more from friendship than men because _________.

      A．women are always cared for by more people than men.

      B．women are usually less stress-out when staying with others.

      C．women are more likely to solve problems with friends’ help

      D．women can always keep more long-life friendship than men

According to the passage we can infer that _______.

      A．it’s good for women to tell men what they should do or not

      B．friends are always more important than family members

      C．men don’t want to share their problems with many people

      D．the trend that women can live longer makes them more relaxed

This passage mainly talks about _________.

      A．why people should develop friendship

      B．when friendship affects people’s health

      C．people’s different attitudes towards friendship

      D．the friendship which can make people live longer

Only three local students won Chinese Blog（博客） Competition. And 15 of the 18 awards want to students from China.   

170 students’ task: to get a fully-designed blog up and running, complete with many posting based on a theme of choice―all written in Chinese.   

Themes ranged from local opinions－such as the usage of Singlish, education and whether Singapore can be a cultural centre－to food blogs.
