11、 at college is filled with excitement and entertainment. However, most students do not know how to use their time wisely. The following advice should help you manage your time better and get more out of your college experience.Firstly, get organized. Organizing your work is necessary if you are goin
12、g to be successful. Many students do not plan their routine, so unexpected problems can easily appear.

16、 first or the last child in your family? Or were you a middle or an only child? Some people think it matters where you were born in your family. But there are different ideas about what birth order means. Some people say that oldest children are smart and strong-willed. They are very likely to be su
17、ccessful. The reason for this is simple: parents have a lot of time for their first child, they give him or her a lot of attention. So this child is very likely to do well. An only child will succeed for the same reason. What happens to the other children in the family? Middle children dont get so m
18、uch attention, so they dont feel that theyre important. If a family has many children, the middle one sometimes gets lost in the crowd. The youngest child, though, often gets special treatment. He or she is the baby. Often this child grows up to be funny and charming. Do you believe these ideas of b
19、irth order too? A recent study saw things quite differently. The study found that first children believed in family rules. They didnt take many chances in their lives. They usually followed orders. Rules didnt mean as much to later children in the family. They went out and followed their own ideas.
20、They took chances and they often did better in life.14. According to common belief, in what way are the first child and the only child alike?15.

39、 the passages. The passages will be read twice but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers in your paper, and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.W
40、hen couples get married, they usually plan to have children. Sometimes, however, a couple cannot have a child of their own. In this case, they may decide to adopt a child. In fact, adoption is very common today. There are about 60,000 adoptions each year in the United States alone. Some people prefe
41、r to adopt infants; others adopt older children. Some couples adopt children from their own countries; others adopt children from foreign countries. In any case, they all adopt children for the same reason-they care about children and want to give their adopted child a happy life.Most adopted childr
42、en know that they are adopted. Psychologists and child-care experts generally think this is a good idea. However, many adopted children or adoptees have very little information about their biological parents. As a matter of fact, it is often very difficult for adoptees to find out about their birth
43、parents because the birth records of most adoptees are usually sealed. The information is secret so no one can see it. Naturally, adopted children have different feelings about their birth parents. Many adoptees want to search for them, but others do not. The decision to search for birth parents is
44、a difficult one to make. Most adoptees have mixed feelings about finding their biological parents. Even though adoptees do not know about their natural parents, they do know that their adopted parents want them, love them and will care for them.Questions11. According to the speaker, why do some coup
45、les adopt children?12. Why do many adoptees find it hard to make the decision to search for their birth parents?13. What can we infer from the passage?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.There are many reasons why family life in Britain has changed so much in the last fifty ye
46、ars. The liberation of women in the early part of the twentieth century and the social and economic effects of World War II had a great impact on traditional family life. Women became essential to industry and the professions. During the war they had worked in factories and proved their worth, now,
47、with the loss of millions of men, their services were too important to the nation.More recently, great advances in scientific knowledge, and particularly in medicine, have had enormous social consequences.Children are better cared for and are far healthier. Infant death rate is low. Above all, paren
48、ts can now plan the size of their family if they wish through more effective means of birth control.Different attitudes to religion, authority and tradition generally have also greatly contributed to changes in family life. But these developments have affected all aspects of society. It is particula
49、rly interesting to note that the concept of “the family“ as a social unit has survived all these challenges.Questions 14. What is this passage mainly about?15. Why did British women become so important to industry after World War II?16. What remained unchanged in spite of all the challenges in family life?Section C Longer ConversationsDirections: In section C, you will hear a longer conversation. The conversation will be read twice. After you hear the conversation, you will be required to fu
