The UK has a well-respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world. But to those who are new to it all, sometimes it can be confusing.

October is usually the busiest month in the college calendar. Universities have something called Freshers’ Week for their newcomers. It’s a great opportunity to make new friends, join lots of clubs and settle into university life．

However, having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind, the prospect（前景）of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve-wracking（令人头痛的）. Where do you start? Who should you make friends with? Which clubs should you join?

Luckily, there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you worrying about starting their university social life on the right foot. So just take it all in slowly. Don’t rush into anything that you’ll regret for the next three years.

Here is some top advice from past students on how to survive Freshers’ Week：

●Learn rules. Make sure you know British social etiquette（礼节）. Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends.

●Be kind. Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in making friends.

●Be sociable. The more active you are, the more likely you’ll be to meet new people than those who never leave their room.

●Bring a doorstop. Keep your door open when you’re in and that sends positive messages to your neighbors that you’re friendly.

So with a bit of clever planning and effort, Freshers’ Week can give you a great start to your university life and soon you’ll be passing on your experience to next year’s new recruits．

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。?

More and more people are choosing to take their holidays in the UK rather than travel abroad.

In the late 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family in the UK, and more and more British people started traveling abroad for their summer holidays. After all, the British weather wasn't very good, even in summer, so a lot of British people left the UK for a vacation. Particularly popular with families on a budget was the "package holiday", where the cost of flights and hotels were offered as one discounted price by travel agents.

In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became wealthier on average, or at least had more money left after they spent on the living cost. As a result, they started to go abroad in groups, to places such as Spain and Greece.

British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. Climate change means that the UK now has a hotter climate than before, so people do not need to go abroad to find good weather. Also, the credit problem has affected the international value of the British pound, so going abroad is more expensive than it used to be. As a result, more and more British people are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK.

This year, British hotels in areas such as the English Lake District have seen a 40 percent increase in booking compared with last year. That rise is mainly owing to the British staying in their own country for their holidays. In addition, however, foreign tourists are now finding the UK cheaper to visit than previously.

In the UK, the national tourism industry — when people go on holiday in their own country — is healthier than it has been in decades. The UK has always been famous for its international explorers. It is only just starting to discover itself, however.?

1. The underlined phrase "package holiday" in Paragraph 2 means a holiday________.

A. offered by hotels B. with a package

C. including flights D. with less expense

2. We can infer from the passage that________.

A. the value of British pound has become a huge problem

B. young people in the UK spend more than their parents

C. British people think of a hot summer as good weather

D. many Greek people leave for the UK for their business

3. Why do some British hotels have an increase in booking this year?

A. Because many people have seen the Lake District.

B. Because hotels in the Lake District are very cheap.

C. Because more British spend their holiday home.

D. Because foreign tourists have found these hotels.

4. What's the writer's attitude towards the British tourism industry?

A. Optimistic. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Noble.

Rare birds in the UK have been living far better than the more common birds over the last decade due to the efforts of conservation organisations, according to a new assessment.

The research shows almost 60% of the 63 rare birds that live in the UK have increased over the last 10 years.

By contrast, only about one third of common species have increased over the same period. Just 28% of rare birds have decreased over the same period, compared with four out of every 10 common birds. The rare birds described in the assessment with increasing populations include the osprey (鹗) and corncrake (秧鸡). All of these birds are subject to conservation action.

The declining common birds include the nightingale, swift (雨燕), house sparrow and red grouse (苏格兰雷鸟). These are suffering declines for a variety of reasons, including changes in farming practices.

Dr David Noble, from the British Trust for Ornithology, said: “That some of our rarer birds have responded to targeted conservation action is great news. It shows just what can be achieved. What we need to do now is to continue the good work and use some of the lessons we have learned to help our more common birds.”

Dr Mark Avery, the conservation director of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), said: “Over the last decade we've enjoyed some great conservation successes, including removing some threatened species from the World Conservation Union's Red List of Thratened Animals and increasing the populations of red kite, osprey, etc. However, these successes are countered (抵消) by continued declines of some widespread species.”

The overview of 210 native birds has been produced by a group of conservation organisations, to mark the publication of The State of the UK's Birds report, which is in its l0th year. The report was published by the RSPB for a group of conservation organisations.

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The decline of widespread birds is not worrying for the UK.

B. The UK has got some practical experience of bird conservation.

C. Changes in farming practices contribute to the increase of rare birds.

D. Half of common birds have decreased in the past ten years in the UK.

We can learn from the passage that Dr David Noble .

A. hopes that conservation organisations will change the way they work

B. is quite disappointed with the result of the new assessment

C. is losing confidence in conservation organizations’ action

D. has high hopes for the increase in bird population in Britain

Which of the following can best explain Dr Mark Avery's words?

A. The UK should not be satisfied with what they have achieved.

B. The UK should share their experience with other countries.

C. What conservation organisations do is far from satisfactory.

D. The RSPB is responsible for the decrease of common birds.

The passage is most likely to be found in a book about .

A. popular science B. historical events

C. nature D. society

The author's purpose of writing this article is to tell people .

A. some good ways to protect rare birds

B. the differences between rare birds and common birds

C. the number of rare birds has increased over the last decade

D. some widespread birds in the UK are in great need of help
