she did practically everything for me. But at the college I needed to know some basic life skills. such as balancing a check—book, laundry, and the things you have to be able to handle that I never thought of in the high school! It was really tough for me at first and I got badly homesick.
Once that first semester was over and I got used to the college life, I loved it—good facilities, helpful instructors. and a good library. The Students? Union organizes various parties every week. I also go to cinemas and concerts, and often spend Saturday nights in pubs and clubs.
One thing I think is important is to get yourself active in things. I was on the dance team in college and met a ton of people that way ··· it was so much easier to make friends when you had a common ground.

A
Lisa was running late．Lisa，25，had a lot to do at work，plus visitors on the way：her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown．But as she hurried down the subway stairs，
she started to feel uncomfortably warln．By the time she got to the platform，Lisa felt weak and
tired--maybe it hadn’t been a good idea to give blood the night before，she thought．She rested
herself against a post close to the tracks． Several yards away，Frank，43，and his girlfriend，Jennifer，found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop．They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of
buying．
But when he heard the scream，followed by someone yelling，“Oh，my God，she fell in!” Frank didn’t hesitate．He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on
the rails．“No!Not you!”his girlfriend screamed after him． She was right to be alarmed．By the time Frank reached Lisa，he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming．The train was about 20 seconds from the station．
It was hard to lift her．She was just out．But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that by standers could hold her by the grins and drag her away from the edge．That was
where Lisa briefly regained consciousness，felt herself being pulled along the ground，and saw
someone else holding her purse．
Lisa thought she’d been robbed．A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop
the blood pouring from her head．And she tried to talk but she couldn’t，and that was when she
realized how much pain she was in．
Police and fire officials soon arrived，and Frank told the story to an officer．Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40一minute train ride downtown---just as he had been seconds after the
rescue，which made her think about her reaction at the time．“I saw the train coming and 1 was
thinking he was going to die，”she explained．
41．What was the most probable cause for Lisa’s weakness?d A．She had run a long way． B．She felt hot in the subway． C．She had done a 10t ofwork．
D．She had donated blood the night before． 42．Why did Jennifer try to stop her boyfriend?d A．Because they would miss their train． B．Because he didn’t see the train coming． C．Because she was sure Lisa was hard to lifl． D．Because she was afraid the train would kill him． 43．How did Frank save Lisa? A A．By lifting her to the platform． B．By helping her rise to her feet． C．By pulling her along the ground． D．By dragging her away from the edge． 44．When did Lisa become conscious again?b A．When the train was leaving．
B．After she was back on the platform．
C．After the police and fire officials came．
D．When a man was cleaning the blood from her head． 45．The passage is intended to _____________c A．warn us of the danger in the subway B．show US how to save people in the subway C．tell US about a subway rescue D．report a traffic accident
B
We once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class．
“You could win prizes，’’our teacher told US as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard．She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing，“The first prize is ten
dollars．You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your
poster．”
We studied the board critically．Some of US looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard，rocking the sheets to the fight or left while we conjured up our designs．Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought．We had plans for that ten—dollar grand prize，each and every one of US．I'm going to spend
mine On candies，one hopeful would announce，while another practiced looking serious，wise and rich．
