Homesickness at college

The thought of college life is quite exciting for students as they taste independence for the first time at college. Their hard work and effort paid off after all. Though college life brings lots of dreams and expectations for students, most of them soon start feeling homesick. 1.But change is a part of life and dealing with change helps us to grow. In the same way, homesickness at college is a brief experience which goes away once students start adjusting in their new environment.

2.Some students may turn to alcohol and drugs. So it is important that students who experience homesickness at college know about how to deal with it. Students should understand that rather than constantly thinking of their hometown, it is better to see it as a challenge and try to defeat it . Though it is not a difficult task, the time that will take each person to deal with home-

sickness at college will be different according to their attitude and personality.3.You

can do that, too.

Remember overcoming homesickness is accepting what you are experiencing. Many students think that being homesick is childish and undeveloped feeling and try to cover it up by acting cool or showing that they are very busy.4.Besides, even their classmates will be going through the same emotions and feelings. Instead of trying to make them understand that they are totally fine after shifting to the new school, going through their emotions and thoughts about life at home for a day or two will be a better choice.5.

A. Homesickness helps students build up a better understanding of life.

B. Homesickness leads to dangerous results if not solved properly.

C. But they don’t realize that homesickness is common to people of all ages.

D. You may miss your parents as you leave home for the first time.

E. This is an important part in the process of beating homesickness.

F. The main reason for the development of such a feeling is change.

G. Believe this is a possible achievement that everyone can achieve.

There are several ways from which to choose for you to keep your kids safe in your neighborhood. But the first step to keep your child safe in your neighborhood is to know your neighbors.

Knowing your neighbors can save you a lot of worry. It lets you know that the car that has just driven down the street belongs to “the yellow house on the corner”, or the truck that has just driven by the playground looks unfamiliar, but the guy in the passenger seat resides two doors down. It’s these simple things that keep you from going_out_of_your_mind whenever you see someone driving by where children are playing.

But you shouldn’t just know what they look like. The next step is to know them well. What do they do？How do they act？You might be OK with them driving by the playground since they live in the neighborhood, but are you OK with them being on the playground? Knowing your neighbors solves several things. First you find out what kind of people they are. This helps you know if you should let your child go out in an area where they gather. Let us face it: you do not want your child to play around people or people’s children that curse (咒罵) or hit each other. Sometimes you have to protect your child against your own neighbors.

Knowing them also makes them know you. Being neighbors is an interesting thing. You might not like them or have the same views as them, but we all usually protect those that we consider our own. If you know your neighbors, they know you. They are more likely to look after the child of the nice lady down the street in the brick (磚) house, than the people, in the house on the corner, who no one ever sees.

1.This passage is mainly to tell us________.

A. how to keep your child safe in the neighborhood

B. how to set a good example to your neighbors

C. how to get along with your neighbors

D. how to teach your child to protect himself

2.If someone resides two doors down, he________.

A. studies at the same school with your kid

B. often comes to the neighborhood to offer help

C. lives in the same neighborhood as you

D. likes driving the truck around the neighborhood[

3.The underlined phrase “going out of your mind” in Paragraph 2 probably means________.

A. becoming very excited

B. becoming very worried

C. becoming very disappointed

D. becoming very relaxed

4.From the third paragraph we can know that________.

A. it is important for you to be polite to your neighbors

B. people in the same neighborhood are quite different

C. people like enjoying themselves on the playground

D. knowing your neighbors helps to keep your kids safe

In January, 2016, Harry Styles made a bold decision. He left the popular boy band One Direction and went solo (單飛). Now he is making his own voice heard. The 23-year-old British singer released his first solo single called Sign of the Times. His self-titled album (個(gè)人同名專輯) is coming out on May 12.

Going solo is a journey for him to find his identity (身份). Though at the time, he was uncertain about his future, he kept a word in his mind - “honesty”. “I didn’t want to write ‘stories’,” he told Rolling Stone. “I wanted to write my stories, things that happened to me. The number-one thing was I wanted to be honest. I hadn’t done that before.”

He is indeed full of stories since beginning his solo career. Last fall, he spent two months recording on a remote island in Jamaica (牙買加).Along with some musicians, he filled a two-floor house with instruments. They hung out at the bar that looked like a tree house. Many mornings began with a swim in the river down the hill. They watched many romantic comedies. Styles always held a black notebook and looked like a college student who was studying, Rolling Stone reported.

His coming album is about rock music. In fact, he grew up with it. His father Desmond was a rock music fan. When Styles was very young, he danced to The Dark Side of the Moon, a classic song by British rock band Pink Floyd. “I couldn’t really get it. But I just remember (thinking that) this is really cool.”

Harry said, “At the very beginning, all I wanted was to be the granddad with the best stories.” Surely, now he is on the right track (軌道).

1.Why did Styles go solo?

A. He wanted to travel with his friends.

B. He was certain that he would succeed.

C. He wanted to be independent from the hand.

D. He wanted to do the things that he hadn’t done before.

2.From the article, which of the followings is true?

A. Styles，next album is about his father.

B. Styles wanted to be a man with “stories”.

C. He left the band because of its dishonesty.

D. Styles couldn’t find his identity after going solo.

3.What Styles did on the island in Jamaica didn’t include .

A. making a record B. hanging out at the bar

C. swimming in the river D. studying like a college student.

4.What is the article mainly about?

A. Styles’ “stories” about his solo career. B. Styles’ favoriate sports

C. The band One Direction D. Styles’ achievements in music.
