Directions： Read the following passages carefully. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer to each question.

Researchers have long known that friends play an important role in shaping a person’s sense of well-being and belonging(朋友在塑造一个人的幸福感和归属感方面起着重要作用). Even physical health is dramatically affected by feelings of social connectedness. But little has been understood about how people’s perceptions of their own social life and the social lives of those around them affect their emotions(但是，人们对自己的社会生活和周围人的社会生活的看法如何影响他们的情绪，却知之甚少). Another question is whether these perceptions, however accurate, affect people’s abilities to form friendships.(另一个问题是，这些认知无论多么准确，是否会影响人们交朋友的能力。)

A majority of first-year college students believe their peers have more friends and are hanging out more than they are, according to a new paper from faculty members at Harvard Business School (HBS) and Harvard Medical School (HMS).

In a study of 1,099 freshmen in their first semester at a public university in Vancouver, Canada, 48 percent assumed that other freshmen had more close friends than they did. Only 31 percent thought they had more close friends than their peers, while just 21 percent believed they had the same number. When asked whose social circle was larger, 45 percent thought others had more friendly acquaintances than they did themselves. Estimating that others had more exciting social lives was consistent across gender and ethnicity, and was true whether a student had gone to a local high school or came from out of town.

48%的人认为其他大一新生比他们有更多的亲密朋友

只有31%的人认为自己的亲密朋友比同龄人更多

而只有21%的人认为自己的亲密朋友也一样多。

当被问及谁的社交圈更大时，

45%的人认为别人比自己有更多友好的熟人。对其他人拥有更令人兴奋的社会生活的估计，在性别和种族上都是一致的，无论学生是本地高中学生还是来自外地。

结论：很大一部分大一新生认为他们的亲密朋友比其他人少。

Studying a second group of freshmen over their first two years of college, the researchers found that those who believed other students had only moderately more friends than they did later reported making more close friends and social acquaintances during the academic year, suggesting that perceiving a small-but-conquerable gap in friendships may serve to motivate students to socialize more.

Ashley Whillans, the paper’s lead author and an assistant professor at HBS, said prior research showed that people tended to overestimate how smart and capable they themselves really are(人们往往高估自己的聪明和能力), so she was somewhat surprised by the findings.

The message people can take away from this research, Whillans said, is that the feelings you are not doing as well as other people when you’re new to a social environment are normal. Chances are that other people are feeling that way too, and that can actually be motivating.(当你刚进入一个社会环境时，你的感觉不如他人，这是正常的。很有可能其他人也有这种感觉，这实际上可以激励你。)

Attending a college or university in the United States is very expensive. A prominent four-year university can cost almost $50,000 per year, and this does not include the huge extra costs of housing, transportation, and other living expenses. Most four-year colleges cost at least $10,000, and many more are in the $20,000 to $30,000 range. For families in the United States, paying for the education of their children has become a major expense. Many families begin saving money from the time their children are born, and some states offer encouraging plans for savings programs.

As expensive as the tuition is, it should be noted that this hardly covers all the cost of providing an education. Buildings, equipment, and salary costs are increasingly high, with advanced technology adding tremendous costs. Universities and colleges constantly seek support from foundations, corporations, as well as from local, state, or federal government.

Still, for prospective students, the costs can be too high. Students may have jobs in secondary school or college to help earn money for college tuition or other expenses, such as books, transportation, and housing. Colleges also help students find work to offset the costs.

There are two main types of funding for college: student loans and grants. Student loans are borrowed money that must be paid back, although the interest rates are lower than for some other types of loans. The early years of many students’ careers after graduation are spent trying to pay back loans. Grants, including scholarships, are gifts of money that do not have to be paid back, but students must fulfill certain obligations, such as maintaining a certain grade point average or demonstrating family need, in order to qualify. Scholarships are funds that are earned or competed for, and they may be based on the student’s academic, athletic, or civic performance. Identifying and accessing these funds can be confusing for families when they fill in the application forms. Colleges, secondary schools, and other organizations have offices to help students learn about funding resources.

College freshmen are spending less time socializing with friends and partying, and more time interacting through online social networks and studying. Perhaps as a result, students’ emotional health has dropped to an all-time low, according to a survey by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

“When students are spending more time studying and less time socializing, they’re not having a way to release some of that stress,” says Kevin Eagan, lead author of a report on the survey’s findings. “Those two factors combined may be contributing to added levels of feeling overwhelmed as they come into college.”

By surveying more than 150,000 freshmen at 227 four-year colleges in the United States, researchers at UCLA, found that, over the past quarter-century, self-reported rates of time spent socializing in person with others have essentially flipped: In 1987, 37.9 percent of incoming freshmen socialized at least 16 hours per week with friends, while 18.1 percent socialized for five hours or less. In 2014, those figures were 18 and 38.8 percent – an all-time low and an all-time high, respectively.

At the same time, college freshmen report increased interaction through social media. The percentage of students who spend six hours or more each week using social media has increased by 44 percent, from 18.9 percent in 2007 to 27.2 percent in 2014.

Also on the decline is students’ self-reported emotional health. Students who began college in 2014 entered with the lowest-ever level of emotional health, with just 50.7 percent reporting above-average emotional health. And the number of students who frequently felt depressed jumped from a low of 6.1 percent in 2009 to 9.5 percent in 2014.

Students who felt depressed were also more likely to report being disengaged from school. They were twice as likely to frequently come to class late or to fall asleep in class. They additionally were more likely to feel bored in class and less likely to work with others on group projects.

51)

One possible reason why students’ emotional well-being declines is that ________.

A. they are banned from participating in parties

B. they don’t know how to cope with emotional stress

C. they spend less time on person-to-person socializing

D. they focus too much on their academic performance

52)

What does the socialization report in Para. 3 tell us?

A. Most freshmen spent more than 16 hours per week with friends in 1987.

B. Most freshmen spent less than 5 hours per week with friends in 2014.

C. The number of freshmen who prefer regular online exchanges reached its highest in 2014.

D. The number of freshmen who spent at least 16 hours per week with friends hit its lowest in 2014.

Which of the following is TRUE according to Para. 4?

A. The time that students spent on social media increased by 44 percent.

B. Students’ use of social media had risen from 2007 to 2014.

It is important for a college student to master the skill of time management. Time management is exactly what it sounds like: It is the skill of being able to manage your time effectively. Some of the greatest reasons to manage your time effectively include the fact that you are going to have tons of different deadlines for various academic activities, and you want to be able to have a social life on top of it.

As a college student, there are a couple of ways that you can go about achieving great time management skills. One of the best strategies that you can use is to schedule events. You can use the calendar that the school will provide you with in the beginning of the year, or you can use the calendar application on your mobile device. Scheduling makes you more likely to complete the assignments and activities and it is going to be the approach that you want to stick to. Different strategies work for different students. Another way to go about improving your time management is to write down, or document the amount of time that is allotted for various activities. If you need to finish multiple assignments or activities in one evening, then give yourself the appropriate amount of time to complete each task.

When you are in college, it is vital to your academic and social life that you know clearly how much time is available for each aspect of your experience. By engaging in time management, you will better be able to structure your daily activities, to be able to accomplish your academic goals and still have time and energy to socialize. When you are disorganized, it is easy to become unhappy with the college experience. This is why it is so important to plan your time accordingly.

College is an integral and a very important part of educational systems. In ancient times, college education was designed to appeal to the purse strings of the elite and well-endowed. With time, every prosperous citizen began looking at this post-school opportunity for higher learning.

Students look upon college as a medium of pursuing dreams. They are well-informed about the subjects which they would like to pursue after school. Relevant workshops on career education, and aptitude tests help them access the right college.

Once the student enrolls, he expects the college to deliver dedicated and well-researched information on his choice of subjects. The purpose of education, as far as the student is concerned, is to equip him with knowledge that he can use throughout his life. He endeavors in his pursuit of excellence.

Parents expect colleges to equip their children with focus on an accomplished, researched, and dynamic curriculum. The parent community is more interested in the qualifications of teachers.

Parents are concerned with the college being able to offer their children a diverse and interactive environment. For a parent, the very purpose of a good education is to enable the child to probe the realms of thought, and to access real higher learning.

The college attempts dedicated management development, to picture the purpose of a good education, which equips students with essential life skills. It is natural for any management team of any college to expect recognition. And these professional and educated individuals design the various programs to do complete justice to tuition costs.

Expectations of the institution delivering the program mostly rest upon enrolled students. The college works in sync with parents to deliver the best and the most creative decision-making processes.

大学新生花在社交和聚会上的时间越来越少，更多的时间是通过在线社交网络和学习进行互动。也许正是由于这个原因，学生们的心理健康状况降到了历史最低点，这是加州大学洛杉矶分校(UCLA)的一项调查结果。

“当学生把更多的时间花在学习上而较少的时间用于社交时，他们没有办法释放压力，”Kevin Eagan说，他是这项调查报告的主要作者。“这两个因素加在一起可能会增加他们进入大学时的压力。”

测量150000多名新生在227年美国四年制大学,加州大学洛杉矶分校的研究人员,发现,在过去的25年里,自我报告的时间在人与他人交往本质上了:在1987年,37.9%的新生社会化和朋友每周至少16小时,而18.1%的社会化五个小时或更少。2014年，这一数字分别是18%和38.8%，分别是历史最低和历史最高。
