   The kids at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can readily learn. Here, according to education experts and students themselves, are the secrets of straight-A students.

   Among the students we interviewed, study times were strictly a matter of personal preference. Some worked late at night when the house was quiet. Some learned new words while brushing his teeth. Others awoke early. Still others studied as soon as they came home from school when the work was fresh in their minds. All agreed, however, on the need for consistency.

   In high school, Jim McCray ran track, played soccer and was in the band and orchestra. “I was so busy, I couldn’t waste time looking for a pencil or missing paper. I kept everything right where I could put my hands on it,” he says. He maintains two folders—one for the day’s assignments, the other for papers completed and graded.

    “The best class I ever took,” says Christopher Campbell, who graduated from high school last spring, “was speed-reading. I not only increased my words per minute but also learned to look at a book’s table of contents, graphs and pictures first. Then, when I began to read, I had a sense of the material and solved the secret of good reading that an active reader is the one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author’s message.”

   When a teacher assigns a long paper, Domenica draws up a timetable, dividing the project into small pieces so it isn’t so overwhelming. “It’s like eating a steak,” she says. “You chew it one bite at a time.” Of course, even the best students delay action sometimes. But when that happens, they face up to it. Sometimes it comes down to late nights. But, if they want A’s, they make sure to hit the deadline.

   “Reading the textbook is important,” says Anderson, “but the teacher is going to test you on what he or she emphasized. I usually write down key points from the text on one side and those from the teacher’s lecture on the other. Then I am able to review both aspects of the assignment at once.” Just before the bell rings, most students get ready to rush out. Anderson uses those few minutes to write a two-or three-sentence summary of the lesson’s principal points, which he scans before the next day’s class.
   The most important “secret” of the super-achievers is not so secret. You can learn and master them and become an A student, too.

　 Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality, but when it comes to my college education, I am an idealist and a fool. In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any sensible student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, famous reputation and lots of good labs and research equipment. But that’s not what I did.
　　I chose to study engineering at a small liberal arts（文科）university that doesn’t even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice; I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my career. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who weren’t studying science or engineering. My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a sensible choice. They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18 years, and I believed them.
　　I headed off to college, sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering “factories”, where they didn’t care if you had values or were flexible. I was going to be a complete engineer: technical genius and sensitive humanist（人文學者）all in one.
　　Now I’m not so sure. Somewhere along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality, as all noble ideals eventually do. After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile（協(xié)調(diào)）engineering with liberal arts courses in college.
　　The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply don’t mix as easily as I assumed in high school. Individually they shape a person in very different ways; together they threaten to confuse. The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.

57. The author chose to study engineering at a small liberal arts university because

　 he _____.
　A. wanted to be an example of practicality and rationality
　B. intended to be a combination of engineer and humanist
　C. wanted to coordinate engineering with liberal arts courses in college
　D. intended to be a sensible student with noble ideals.

58. In the eyes of the author, a successful engineering student is expected ______.

　 A. to have an excellent academic record
　B. to be wise and mature
　C. to be imaginative with a value system to guide him
　D. to be a technical genius with a wide vision
59. The author’s experience shows that he was _______.
　A. creative　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. ambitious
　C. unrealistic　　　　　　　　　　　 D. irrational
60. The word “they” in “…together they threaten to confuse.” refers to ______.
　A. engineering and the liberal arts.
　B. reality and noble ideals
　C. flexibility and a value system
　D. practicality and rationality

President Coolidge’s statement, “The business of America is business,” still points to an important truth today---that business institutions have more prestige（威望）in American society than any other kind of organization, including the government. Why do business institutions possess this great prestige?
　　One reason is that Americans view business as being more firmly based on the ideal of competition than other institutions in society. Since competition is seen as the major source of progress and prosperity by most Americans, competitive business institutions are respected. Competition is not only good in itself, it is the means by which other basic American values such as individual freedom, equality of opportunity, and hard work are protected.
　　Competition protects the freedom of the individual by ensuring that there is no monopoly（壟斷）of power. In contrast to one, all-powerful government, many businesses compete against each other for profits. Theoretically, if one business tries to take unfair advantage of its customers, it will lose to competing business which treats its customers more fairly. Where many businesses compete for the customers’ dollar, they cannot afford to treat them like inferiors or slaves.
　　A contrast is often made between business, which is competitive, and government, which is a monopoly. Because business is competitive, many Americans believe that it is more supportive of freedom than government, even though government leaders are elected by the people and business leaders are not. Many Americans believe, then, that competition is as important, or even more important, than democracy in preserving freedom.
　　Competition in business is also believed to strengthen the ideal of equality of opportunity. Competition is seen as an open and fair race where success goes to the swiftest person regardless of his or her social class background. Competitive success is commonly seen as the American alternative to social rank based on family background. Business is therefore viewed as an expression of the idea of equality of opportunity rather than the noble idea of inherited privilege.

53.The statement “The business of America is business” probably means 
  “________”.

  A. The business institutions in America are concerned with commerce
  B. Business problems are of great importance to the American government
  C. Business is of primary concern to Americans

54. Americans believe that they can realize their personal values only ________.

  A. when given equality of opportunity

55. Who can benefit from business competition?
  A. Honest businessmen.
  B. Both businessmen and their customers.
  C. People with ideals of equality and freedom.
  D. Both business institutions and government.

56. It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes _________.
  A. Americans are more ambitious than people in other countries
  B. in many countries success often depends on one’s social status
  C. American businesses are more democratic than those in other countries
  D. businesses in other countries are not as competitive as those in America

   The view over a valley of a tiny village with thatched（草蓋的）roof cottages around a church; a drive through a narrow village street lined with thatched cottages painted pink or white; the sight over the rolling hills of a pretty collection of thatched farm buildings __these are still common sights in parts of England. Most people will agree that the thatched roof is an essential part of the attraction of the English countryside.
   Thatching is in fact the oldest of all the building crafts practiced in the British Isles. Although thatch has always been used for cottage and farm buildings, it was once used for castles and churches, too.　　
   Thatching is a solitary（獨自的）craft, which often runs in families. The craft of thatching as it is practiced has today changed very little since the Middle Ages. Over 800 full-time thatchers are employed in England and Wales today, maintaining and renewing the old roofs as well as thatching newer houses. Many property owners choose thatch not only for its beauty but because they know it will keep them cool in summer and warm in winter.
   In fact, if we look at developing countries, over half the world lives under thatch, but they all do it in different ways. People in developing countries are often unwilling to go back to traditional materials and would prefer modern buildings. However, they may lack the money to allow them to import the necessary materials. Their temporary mud huts with thatched roofs of wild grasses often only last six months. Thatch which has been done the British way lasts from twenty to sixty years, and is an effective defence against the heat.

49.Which of the following remains a unique feature of the English countryside?
  A. Narrow streets lined with pink or white houses.
  B. Rolling hills with pretty farm buildings.
  C. Cottages with thatched roofs.
  D. churches with cottages around them.

50.What do we know about thatching as a craft?
  A. It is a collective activity.
  B. It is practised on farms all over England.
  C. It is quite different from what it used to be.
  D. It is in most cases handed down among family members.

51.Thatched houses are still preferred because of _______.
  A. their style and comfort
  B. their durability
  C. their easy maintenance
  D. their cheap and ready-made materials

52. We can learn from the passage that ________

  A. thatched cottages in England have been passed down from ancient times
  B. thatching is a building craft first created by the English people
  C. the English people have no special liking for thatched houses
  D. most thatched cottages in England are located on hillsides
