In the 19th century England people liked to go to the seaside. In those days, ladies wore long bathing dresses, and men wore bathing suits. Women did not walk about on the beach in their bathing dresses. They hired a bathing machine. A bathing machine was used for changing in, and for taking the bather down to the sea.

Spring Festival is a 3    time to test the bonds of romance, say, with a trip to France. This idea came to Su Enlu and his girlfriend one day. They were talking about the 4    of a weekend trip when Su said, half-jokingly, that they might just go to France.
5     doing some online research and talking with people who'd been there, they decided to take the plunge. To prepare for it, they read French history and tested each other in 6     French language.
This has been one of the happiest 7     in our three-year relationship, said Su, a 22-year-old English major at the University of International Business and Economics.
Su saw no problem with asking his parents to 8     the trip for about 10,000 yuan from each side. "I'm seizing the day," he said. "Later, when I have that 9     money, I might not have time to enjoy it."

This trip is not only about pushing our limits, 17     about looking for adventure, said Nan. "It's also a testament to being adults, and part of a new generation of college students."
Now in Hainan, Nan's team is pedaling 18     in T-shirts and shorts, shedding some of the 19     they gained during the fall semester, and strengthening the bond of their friendships. Said Nan: "We now know each other more than we used to, even 20     months of living together."

What is intelligence(智力) anyway? When I was in the army I __36 an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and, against__37 of 100, scored 160.
I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not__38 have scored more than 80. __39  , when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him—and he always__40it.
Well, then, suppose my auto-repair man  __41 questions for some intelligence tests. By  every one of them I'd prove myself a __42. In a world where I have to work with my__43  , I'd do poorly.
Consider my auto-repair man __44 . He had a habit of telling __45 . One time he said, “Doc, a deaf-and-umb(聾啞) man__46  some nails. Having entered a store, he put two fingers together on the counter and made__47 movements with the other hand. The clerk brought him a hammer. He __48 his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk__49  him some nails. He picked out the right size and left. Well, Doc, the __50 man who came in was blind. He wanted scissors(剪刀). __51  do you suppose he asked for them?” I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two fingers. He burst out laughing and said, “Why, you fool, he used his__52 and asked for them. I've been__53 hat on all my customers today, but I knew __54 I'd catch you.”“Why is that?” I asked. “Because you are so goddamned educated, Doc. I knew you couldn't be very __55  .”
And I have an uneasy feeling he had something there.

Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do, be, and experience everything you want in life. __71 just letting life happen to you, goals allow you
to make your life happen.
Successful people __72 how their life should be and set lots of  goals. By setting goals you are __73 your life. It's like having a__74 to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are __75 drivers. One has a destination (目的地) in mind (her goal) which can be found on a map. She can drive straight there without any __76 time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, __77  she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just __78 gas. Which driver do you want to be?
Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. They decide what they want in life and then get there by making __79  and setting goals. __80 people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren't difficult to set—and they aren't difficult to reach. It's up to you to find out what your goals really are. You are the one who must __81 what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.
Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more __82 to achieve it. Written goals can be __83regularly, and have more power. Like a contract(合同) with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget. Also __84  you write your goals in a particular way you are able to make yourself continuously __85  situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.

Geneva is situated between the Jura Range and the Alps on the western end of Lake Geneva. Capital of Peace is one of its names— the European headquarters of the United Nations lies here in Palais des Nations. Another worthy name for this city with a humanitarian tradition（人道主義傳統(tǒng)）and international character is the World’s Smallest Metropolis. Parks, splendid stores and lively streets in the old part of town and its 2000-year history wait to be discovered.
The Jet d’Eau together with the Flower Watch are the main attractions every year for the tourists visiting Geneva. The Jet d’Eau has become the symbol（象征）of Geneva for a long time. This is a 140 meters high water monument with a rich history. Eight 13,500-watt projectors light the grand column（圓柱）of the fountain in the evening, from early March until the second Sunday of October. The Flower Watch, which was created at the edge of the English Garden in 1955, reminds us about that Geneva is the birthplace of the Swiss clock and watch making, and that this industry has become internationally famous, as well through the quality of the watches as through their beautiful appearance.
Sails on Lake Geneva are also enjoyable. The Lake of Geneva, lying among the Alps, is a true inland sea, making possible a wide range of pleasant boat trips, you can relax and watch the beautiful scenes pass by.

Since many of you are planning to study at a college or university in this country, you may be curious to know what you usually do in a typical week, how you can get along with your fellow students, and so on. These are the questions I want to discuss with you today.
First, let’s talk about what your weekly schedule will look like. No matter what your major may be, you can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lectures. Lectures are usually in very large rooms because some courses such as introduction to sociology or economics often have as many as two or three hundred students, especially at large universities. In lectures, it’s very important for you to take notes on what the professor says because the information a lecture is often different from the information in your textbooks. Also, you can expect to have exam questions based on the lectures. So it isn’t enough to just read your textbooks; you have to attend lectures as well. In a typical week you will also have a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take. The discussion section is a small group meeting usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about the lectures, the reading, and the homework. In large universities, graduate students, called teaching assistants, usually direct discussion sections.
If your major is chemistry, or physics, or another science, you’ll also have to spend several hours a week in the lab, or laboratory, doing experiments. This means that science majors spend more time in the classroom than non science majors do. On the other hand, people who major in subjects like literature or history usually have to read and write more than science majors do.
59. The main purpose of this text is       .
A. to help the students to learn about university life
B. to persuade the students to attend lectures
C. to encourage the students to take part in discussions
D. to advise the students to choose proper majors
60. We can learn from the passage that university professors       .
A. spend about 5 hours on lectures each week
B. must join the students in the discussion sections
C. prefer to use textbooks in their lectures
D. require the students to read beyond the textbooks
61. A discussion section does NOT include       .
A. working under the guidance of university professors
B. talking over what the students have read about the courses
C. discussing the problems related to the students’ homework
D. raising questions about what a professor has said in a lecture
62. According to the author, science majors       .
A. have to work harder than non science majors
B. spend less time on their studies than non science majors
C. consider experiments more important than discussions
D. read and write less than non science majors
