An Integrated English Course IIIUnit 1Text 1 Fresh StartKey to ExercisesText comprehension (P5-6)I. Decide which of the following is NOT part of the theme of the essay.D. This statement goes to extreme. Though the author stresses the notion that we should find our true selves and be true to them in college, she does not mean we should take no account of others in the pursuit of our true selves.II. Judge, according to the text, whether the following statements are true or false.1. T. Refer to Paragraph 6. Evelyn stepped in a puddle of ketchup by accident and her food tray tipped and she lost her balance.2. T. Refer to Paragraph 8. The word “strategically” in the phrase “from a machine strategically placed outside my room” suggests that many students had shared Evelyn’s terrible fortune and had to shun publicity by dining alone on the food served by the machine. So the food machine was strategically placed there to help those poor students out.3. T. Refer to Paragraph 9. Phrases like “made my way,”“tiptoed to a table” and “collapsed in relief”show the extreme care she took to avoid anther humiliating fall when she dined in the school cafeteria for the second time.4. F. The tone Evelyn adopts is light-hearted and humorous. She does not feel herself miserable when looking back at her humiliating experiences on the first days of college because she feels she has personally gained something from those mistakes and has learned to take everything more naturally.III. Answer the following questions.1. Refer to Pararaphs1 and2. She felt “first-gradish”on her arrival at the campus. The “first-gradish” feeling is a mixture of helplessness, disorientation, self-consciousness, and a lack of confidence.2. Refer to paragraph3. She chose to sit in the front row, a side seat because the freshmen manual suggested sitting near the front to show one was an intelligent and enthusiastic student. Since she was not confident enough to sit in the professor’s direct line of vision, she chose a side seat in the front row.3. Refer to paragraph 9. He did not take the accident seriously. On the contrary, he took it light-heartedly and just laughed it off. It shows that accidents like that are quite common on campus and one should learn to take them easy.4. Refer to paragraph 11. One of the major differences between college and high school lives is that in high school one strives for popularity and has to avoid at any cost making himself/herself a laughing stock among his/her peers. When a person is in college, he/she should be his/her own person and do his/her own thing and avoid taking others’ opinions too much to heart.5. A person, according to Evelyn, should take his/her college life for an experiment. He/she should not be afraid of making mistakes because it is only through trial and error that one shouldfind his/her real self and finding his/her real self is the ultimate purpose of college education. College allows one to make massive mistakes.IV. Explain in your own words the following sentences taken from the text.1. I planned to be observant and silent so that nobody would notice that I was only a new-comer to college.2. It didn’t matter whether or not you were widely accepted or admired. You did not have to behave to the liking of everybody else.3. So long as I could give up the attempt to be perfect in everything, I would well be able to do what I wanted in the way I was comfortable with.Structural analysis of the text (P6)Unlike an expository writing, which usually expresses the main idea in a thesis statement, in a narrative writing, the point is shown through dialogues, actions or events. The three incidents that are treated expansively in this essay are related to one another by their implicit messages—the mistakes the author made and her reaction toward the mistakes. It was in this process that the author achieved significant insight into herself.Rhetorical features of the text (P6)“I knew everyone would stare. Forget it. I settled into my chair and tried to assume the scientific pose of a biology major, bending slightly forward, tensing my arms in preparation for furious notetaking, and cursing under my breath”(Paragraph 5). “Keeping myself upright and getting out of the mess was not going to be easy, and this flailing of my feet was doing no good. Just as I decided to try another maneuver, my food tray tipped and I lost my balance” (Paragraph 6). The italicized parts in the selections offer vivid pictures of what she did or how she looked in some embarrassing situations.Vocabulary exercises (P6-8)I. Explain the underlined part in each sentence in your own words.1. I had just the feeling of a newcomer to college without the strength only an experienced student might possess2. my apparent confidence3. some food to appease my hunger4. going with the tide of the majority was no longer crucial to your success in college5. restraints6. foolish and glaring mistakesII. Fill in the blank in each sentence with a word taken from the box in the proper form.1. distress2. clutched3. pose4. sneaked5. preoccupation6. shacklesIII. Fill in the blank in each sentence with an appropriate phrasal verb or collocation taken from the text.1. live up to2. headed for3. seek out4. has broken out5. groped for6. trying … onIV. Fill in the blanks with the appropriate forms of the given words.1. assure2. discretion3. relaxation4. humiliate5. strategy6. embarrassmentV. Explain the underlined phrasal verbs in your own words.1. became popular2. respect3. keep on4. lead to5. understand6. foundGrammar exercises (P8-9)I. Note the use of the italicized parts in the following sentences.The –ing participle clause, what-clause, etc. can function as the subject.II. Making complete sentences by matching corresponding parts listed respectively in the following two columns.1. C2. D3. B4. F5. A6. EIII. Combine the two sentences in each group into one, using so that.1. I spent the afternoon seeking out each of my classrooms so that I could make a perfectly timed entrance before each lecture.2. He wore glasses and a false beard so that nobody would recognize him.3. The stranger spoke very slowly so that I could understand what he said.4. She locked the door so that she wouldn’t be disturbed.5. John whispered so that others couldn’t hear him.6. Please arrive early so that we can start the meeting on time.IV. Fill in the blanks using the following linking expressions.1. even if2. whereas/while3. even so4. while/whereas5. even though6. despiteV. Make sentences of your own after tile sentences given below, keeping the underlined parts in your sentences.1. We have to get the car fixed, no matter how much it costs.You can’t go in no matter who you are.2. He got up and refilled the teapot, then his cup, adding a touch of skimmed milk.The children ran out of the room, laughing and talking merrily.Translation exercises (P9-10)I.
