It has offices in 38 countries.(4) the main idea of the text and each paragraph(5) notes to the text1. I decided early in my college years that I wanted to experience living abroad before entering the "real world." (Para 1)Shortly after I entered college I made the decision that I should not find a job after graduation. I would first go and live ina foreign country for a while.2. During my senior year, while most of my friends were interviewing for "real world" jobs, I was investigating how I could go work in a different country. (Para 1) During the last year of my 4 years at college, most of my classmates were looking for jobs and having interviews while I was asking for information about how I could go and work ina foreign country.3. At the early stage of my inquiry I was pretty open about where to go and what kind of work to undertake. (Para 1) When I first asked about the possibility of experiencing living abroad, I didn’t have a specific idea as to where to go and what kind of work to take, and would consider almost anything that looked attractive.4. The day after I arrived, I experienced my first British holiday-a Bank holiday, a national holiday where everything is closed for the day. (Para 3)Bank Holiday is a holiday of national importance such as Christmas or New Year’s Day when banks and some other businesses are closed (altogether there are 8-10 of these per year in the UK)5. It wasn’t until my third day that I visited the BUNAC office and went through orientation. (Para 3)On the third day I visited the BNUAC office and had a formal process of learning about my new circumstances.6. I was most scared about finding a job since my financial resources were running low and I needed to get a paycheck soon. (Para 3)I was not sure and thus worried if I could find a job but I needed a job badly because I had very little money left and no easy way to get any.7. It was easy to adjust to life in London. And there is so much to see that after 6 months exploring I probably covered only half of what I intended. (Para 5)It was easy to make the changes needed to live in London. After staying there for 6 months, I probably visited and did only half of the places and activities I had initially intended.8. Most of my coworkers were British so I feel like I really got to know and learn the British culture through such a huge aspect of a British person's daily life. (Para 6) Living in London where most of my coworkers were English, I felt as though I really got to know and learn about quite a bit about English culture.(6) language points1. adjust to:to make necessary changes in order to make right or make suitable for a particular purpose or situatione.g.Some people from small towns have trouble adjusting to the fast pace of urban life.After the kids become grown-ups the parents must adjust to having fewer people in the house.2. choose from:to pick out or select (sb. / sth. that one prefers or considers the best, most suitable, etc.) from a number ofalternatives.Students have many different majors to choose from.Drivers have many different brands of cars to choose from.3. cover:to include (sth.); deal with; travel (a certain distance)he class covered only half of what the teacher intendedOur trip covered only half of what the tour guide intended.4. experience:v. to suffer, feel, or know n. knowledge or skill which comes from practice rather than from books, or the gaining of it.I experienced my first British holiday.You have the chance to gain valuable work experience.He experienced great difficulty in getting a visa to leave the country.I know from my own experience how difficult this kind of work can be.5. get to learn / know:become familiar withAfter you get to know him, you will find that he’s really quite nice.You’ll get to know and like the city more after you’ve lived here for a while.6.

The program helped her but she had to do most of it on her own. After three interviews she accepted a job in an international bank and stayed there for six months.

Furthermore, they have little experience in using the information. When they move forward to their careers, they will quickly discover how much they still have to learn. College can only the set the stage for their future learning. There is now way it can give them all the information they need, because there is too much of it and it is expanding too rapidly. A good teacher like the one in the story should make this clear to the students in a memorable way that they can take with them after graduation. This is way graduation is sometimes called “commencement”.2.Check the answers of Ex. 4, 5 and 6Step 4 Assignments1. Oral Practice---Talk about it2.

Most students take 5 or occasionally 6 courses per semester, and most courses are 3 credits. It usually takes between 120 and 130 credits to graduate. A few colleges use numerical grades instead of letters. If so, most likely A=90, B=80, C=70, D=60, F=50, but this may be up to the professor.Step 2 While-reading Tasks1.Read the text as quickly as possible and try to find the answer to the followingquestions:1)Why was the author less eager to graduate than his classmates?2)What was he thinking about while he was taking a walk on campus?3)What is the main idea of the passage?2.

There are no parents around to control you or make all decisions for you. Butmost of the decisions you make don’t have as great a risk as they will have after college. Being a student is a real career but only a temporary one. Teachers can give some guidance without being either parents or bosses. Classmates can set either a good or a bad example, and you can learn to tell the difference. What happens outside the classroom is an important part of the college experience. Students should cherish all of this like the student in the story, because they may never have such and opportunity again.2.Check the answers of Ex.12, 13 and 14Step 4 Assignments1.Read Passage B.2.Review the words and phrases in Passage BPeriod 4 Section III Write and ProduceStep 1 RevisionDictation of words and phrases in P assage A and BStep 2 Grammar1.Forming compound and complex sentencesSimple sentence: Birds sing.

In reality, this is a relatively new phenomenon. For centuries, knowledge was passed from a master to a pupil in a one-to-one or one-to-few arrangement (apprenticeship form of education). This method is still used in most Ph.D. programs today. Over time, the lecture method of arranging a meeting at a given place and time with many students was adopted and has now become the primary educational delivery method. However, classroom lecture has not singularly been used for educational delivery in the twentieth century. Distance learning through the use of closed circuit television has existed for over 25 years. In addiction, correspondence courses have existed for over 50 years. Generally, these methods have not been perceived as providing the same learning impact as the lecture method.In the United States, formal education fifty years ago was basically the province of a privileged few in our society. However, as the American economy has changed form an agrarian mode, then to the industrial mode, through the information age, and now in the telecommunication age, formal education, which includes exposure to the liberal arts and technology, has become essential for the economic success of individuals, organizations and countries. The undergraduate student population three decades ago was basically single, residential, full-time, and 18-23 years old. As we enter the telecommunication age, with its vastlyexpanded employment skill sets, the undergraduate student population has changed to include older, married employed, and non-residential stude nts. The American work force must continuous be retained as a result of technological changes.Step 2 While-reading Tasks1.

Why or why not?5) According to the author, what is the future of online education?2.

Greetings and a brief revisionDictation of the words and expressions in Passage A2. Lead-in questions:How can a person start over when his or her life is changed by unexpected events? 3. Culture Notes:Perceptions of Distance LearningStudents’ perceptions: Student opinion is mixed, and we lack the range and quantity of data that lets us draw any clear conclusions. In general, all students seem to like the scheduling convenience offered by asynchronous distance Learners (DL). Many like working with and through computer technology. And many like the additional opportunity for discussion with peers and chances toreview material. However, other students have difficulties with technology, find the television or computer mediation uncomfortable and unfamiliar, and appear to need the structure of the traditional classroom for motivation or contact with the instructor and peers. Based on what little evidence is available, it seems that those most satisfied with DL are professionals who already have a substantial grasp of the disciplinary boundaries, methods of investigation, and forms of communication within their field. There are many successes in management and engineering education. Those least satisfied include students just beginning serious study of an area or having little experience in higher education.Faculty’s perception: Faculty opinion, like student opinion, tends to be mixed. On one hand, many faculty see DL as an opportunity to reach more students, not only non-traditional students, but also students temporarily off campus on co-o[s and internships or on-campus students whose class or work schedule prevents them form taking a class as its regularly scheduled time. They also see the opportunities in hybrid course in which students complete outside of class the material traditionally presented in lectures, thus leaving class time free for discussion and further exploration of the material. And they see advantages in the use of DL tools to repeat class material for students who have missed class or who want to review. On the other hand, faculty are concerned that DL will change the learning experience in unexpected and perhaps unfavorable ways. They point to the absence of adequate research on course effectiveness in specific disciplines. And they are concerned that some college administrators will use DL as way ofsubstantially increasing class size and replacing faculty with DL systems.Step 2 While-reading Tasks1.Read the text as quickly as possible and try to find the answers to the followingquestions:1) Why did Kelley McKee study for a degree when she already had a businessschool certificate?2) How did she hope to use what she learned?2.

After all, colleges and dormitories have many rules and restrictions, such aslimitations on when and where one can study. Noise and lack of privacy are additional complaints of dormitory residents everywhere. American students, in particular, are often eager to move off campus as soon as they can.

Summarize the passageSummary: Leaving home for the first time, either to go to college or for some other reason, can be difficult. With no parents nearby, there are many new decisions to make on our own. Decisiveness and creativity are both needed to make these decisions wisely. Plans and rules may be needed. But every day different situations may arise. It’s impossible to have a plan or a rule for every situation. That’s why creativity is also needed. Being away from home may teach some young people to appreciate their parents even more.2. Check the answers of Ex. 12, 13 and 14Section III Write and Produce (2 periods)Step 1 Revision (10mins)Dictation of words and phrases in Passage A and BStep 2 Grammar (35 mins)Consistency of Verb TensesWe use the verb tense to indicate the particular time of an action, event or condition. When we want to describe a number of actions or events, we will use different tenses in a sentence, a paragraph and a whole composition. Necessary changes in verb tense help readers understand the relationships among various events.But if we make unnecessary or inconsistent shifts in tenses, it will cause misunderstanding. Generally, we keep one tense as the main tense and indicate changes of time by changing tenses relative to that primary tense.Step 3 Practical Writing ( 45 mins)Bank Account FormThere are several kinds of accounts available, such as regular savings accounts, certificates of deposit, joint accounts, and trust accounts.Step 4 AssignmentsSuppose you want to open a 6-month individual certificate of deposit by yourself (not jointly or in trust for someone else).

大学体验英语book 1 重修辅导资料Read and Explore 阅读与探究Unit 1 Passage A Read about it1. 文化背景①美国的高等教育：美国现有的院校主要实行二年或四年的学制，二年制的多为技术专科学校和社区学院。
正规四年制的学校主要为文理学院、独立专业学院和综合性大学，代表着美国科研和教学的最高水平，培养大批高层次的专业技术人才。
这些院校除教学外，还承担着美国政府的大量高精尖的科研任务。
著名的高等学府有：哈佛大学、麻省理工学院、斯坦福大学、耶鲁大学、哥伦比亚大学、乔治·华盛顿大学、加州大学、约翰·霍普金斯大学、普林斯顿大学、乔治敦大学等。
在美国，学生18岁高中毕业后不需要通过大学入学考试就能升入高等院校学习，60％以上的高中毕业生都能进大学继续深造。
成绩优秀的学生可以优先进入好的大学学习。
在校前二年为基础学习阶段，学生学习英语、自然科学和社会科学等通用课程，待进入高年级后才开始专攻某一方向或学科。
美国高等学校实行学分制。
教师在每学期开始时给学生布置大量的阅读书目和材料，培养学生自学和学术研究能力，在此基础上完成课程论文，得到学分。
美国高等院校规定，大学毕业获得学士学位或相应的学位后才有资格继续攻读硕士或博士学位。
学位体制采用五级制，即：准学士、学士、硕士、博士和第一专业学位。
其中，硕士学位分为两种：一种必须撰写学位论文，另一种不要求写论文，但对学分有更高的要求，同时还要进行口试和笔试。
进入硕士和博士学习阶段，导师根据每位学生的个人情况，具体制订学制，加以指导。
美国高等院校实行三种学期制：二学期制、三学期制和学季制，一学年通常约为34周，8月或9月开课，次年5月或8月结束。
硕士学位学制通常为二学年，博士学位为2～3年。
博士研究生由几名专家和教授组成的指导小组负责具体指导，专业考试合格，通过博士论文答辩后获得学位。
②美国的学生没有大学入学统考：美国近三分之一的高校是两年制社区学院或初级大学，仅凭高中毕业证即可入读。
另外三分之二的高校是四年制大学，多数采用两家私人考试机构承办的入学考试，就是ETS(能力性向考试)和ACT(综合成就考试)。
80％以上的四年制大学在招生时还要参考高中表现，即学生在高中阶段的课程成绩、班级排名、上课讨论表现以及参加的社会工作情况等。
所以同中国的高中生相比，美国高中生更重视平时的表现。
因为这些都是计入总的成绩记录的。
以前，美国大学提供奖学金时主要考虑学生的家庭收入，但是90年代以来。
奖学金发放标准变成了以学生高中成绩为主。
家庭收入不再是主因。
没获得奖学金的学生可以申请贷款，毕业后是要偿还的。
美国大学新生能申请的经济资助主要有助学金、奖学金、免学杂费三种。
其中助学金是金额最高的。
学校对获得助学金的学生，不仅免去所有的学杂费。
还会提供一定的生活费。
奖学金的形式非常多，一个优秀学生很可能同时获得数种奖学金，但是奖学金的数额比助学金要小一些。
美国院校通常要求一年级新生住在学校的宿舍里，所以很多高年级学生到校外租房住。
相比来说，学校提供的宿舍比外面的住房地理位置好，服务设施齐全，食宿费统包，但是费用比较高。
宿舍和食堂的工作人员多是勤工助学的学生，他们把工作经验和钱一起挣，校方也比从外面雇人少花了钱。
这些学生工作认真，原因之一是求职的人数远远多过职位数。
他们也很有创意，把管理工作做得井井有条而富有特色，还举办多种活动。
③美国大学的考试题型：美国大学的考试题型主要有两种：填空题和论文写作，还包括连线配对题和选择题，但是不同的老师使用不同的题型。
例如，大多数大学设置50题多项选择题（每题1分）和两篇论文写作（每篇25分），总分100分。
多项选择题要求考生从四个选择项中选择正确答案；论文写作要求学生论证给定的讨论主题，做到有据可依、逻辑性强，所以也被称为讨论性题型。
2. 篇章点评本文通过讲述一名老师在大学毕业学生最后一次考试中给他们的教训，提醒即将大学毕业的学生学无止境。
他们所学的东西并不是可以足够应付工作岗位上问题。
所以毕业的时刻也应是开始继续学习的时刻。
3. 结构分析Part I (Paras. 1~3) 考试前学生们踌躇满志，对即将进行的大学毕业前的最后一次考试充满自信。
Part II (Paras. 4~14) 考试的难度超出学生们的想象，老师的目的是要教育即将毕业的学生未来工作中遇到的困难会很多，要不断学习才能够成功。
Part III (Para. 15) 老师在这场考试中的训诫给学生们留下深刻的印象。
二、参考译文学无止境终考的最后一天，东部一所的大学里，一群大四的工科生聚集在一幢教学楼的台阶上，谈论着即刻就要开始的考试。
他们脸上都充满自信。
在参加即将到来的毕业典礼和从事未来的工作前，这是他们最后一门考试。
他们有的谈起了已经找到的工作，有的则谈论着要找的工作。
4年的大学学习给了他们全部的自信，使他们觉得自己足以征服世界。
眼前这场考试，不过是小事一桩。
这门课的教授已经说过，除考场上不能交头接耳外，允许他们带任何书或笔记到考场。
考生们依次进入考场，心情轻松而愉快。
当教授把考卷发给在座的考生后，学生们脸上的笑容更加灿烂，因为考卷上只有五道论述题。
3个小时过去了，教授开始收回考卷。
考生们的脸上充满惊慌的表情，自信已经荡然无存。
当教授收完考卷，看着全班学生时，所有的人都沉默不语。
她扫视着一张张焦虑的脸问道：“5道题答完的有多少？”没人举手。
“答完4道的有多少？”还是没有人举手。
“完成3道题的？2道题的？”考生们有些坐不住了，不安地动了动。
“那么，有没有写完一道题的？我想总有人做完一道题吧！”考场里还是一片寂静。
教授放下手中的考卷，说：“果真不出我所料。
”“我只是想让你们牢牢记住，即使你们已经学完了4年工科课程，在这个领域里，你们还有很多东西不懂。
在你们今后的日常工作中，类似于今天考卷上你们无法回答的问题很常见。
”接着，她微笑着补充说：“你们都会通过考试，但是请记住，即使你们现在已经毕业了，你们的学习才刚刚开始。
”多年后，这位老师的姓名已经被淡忘，但她的教诲却深深地刻在记忆中。

【巧记】ap (to) +proach (near)→接近，靠近【词汇扩展】approachable adj.可接近的，平易近人的【特别提示】注意approach 作动词用时，后不能跟to，作名词用表示“方法”则跟to。
