13、fferences.In the fall of 1977,after two years at Loyola Marymount University, where my learning differences were fully accommodated, I transferred to(转学)Brown University, where I graduated with an honors degree in English literature.

18、ir kids by lying to them about Santa. Is it purposely cheating or playing along with the fantasy? There are always those stories about the kindergarten teacher or parent who would tell the kids theres no Santa Claus, and theyd all start crying on the lost dreams. But if another teacher goes into a t
19、hird-grade class and says there is a Santa Claus, theyll all laugh at her. What I say is that if theyre at the age when theyre still believing, why bother to end it?Then how long should parents pretend? Studies indicate that after eight,75 percent of kids dont believe. Thats the first “S” word that
20、parents have to deal withits not sex. Its Santa. So the parent has to sit down and say it in a gentle way. “Listen, Santa did exist. He was a person who gave to others and now that youre older, you can give to others and be Santa, too.” Do you think if a kid who believes in Santa walks into a third-
21、or-fourth-grade class, his friends are going to tell him in a gentle way? No. Theyre going to make fun of him, and the kid is going to run home crying, saying you lied to him.

27、Oumuamua, an object through space that was discovered on October 19th, has already made history. The speed at which it is moving relative to the sun means that it cannot be native to the solar system. Its official name is thus II/2017 UI, with the “I” standing for “interstellar(星际)”the first time th
28、is name has ever been used.That is exciting. Some scientists, though, entertain an ever more exciting possibility: what if Oumuamua is not an asteroid(小行星),as most think, but an alien(外星的)spacecraft? Asteroid come in ll sorts of shapes and sizes, but Oumuamua seems particularly different. As best as
29、 astronomers can tell, it is cigarlike, being roughly 180 meters long but only about 30 meters wide. That makes it longer than anything known of in the solar system. Such a shape would be a sensible choice for a spaceship, since it would minimize the scouring(冲刷)effect of interstellar dust.With that
30、 in mind the Breakthrough Listen project, an organization aimed at hunting for alien life, plans to turn the worlds biggest radio telescope, the Green Bank instrument in Virginia, towards Oumuamua to see if it can hear anything interesting. Oumuamua is currently about twice as far from Earth as Eart
31、h is from the sun. At that range, the telescope should be sensitive enough to pick up a transmitter about as powerful as a mobile phone after just a few secondsworth of observations.Will it find anything? Almost certainly not. Oumuamua has the same reddish color as many as asteroids, so probably has
32、 a similar composition. And, if it really is a spaceship, it is strange that signs of its artificial origin have not been seen already. It could, in theory, be a derelict(遗弃星球). But in that case the telescope is unlikely to hear anything. By far the most likely option is that it is exactly what it s
33、eems to be: a huge space rock, one that has come to the solar system from the vast space between the stars.32. What makes some scientists think Oumuamua is possibly an alien spacecraft?A. Its size. B. Its color. C. Its shape. D. Its speed.33. What does the underlined word “that” in the third paragra
34、ph probably mean?A. The research into the solar system.B. The purpose of hunting for alien life.C. The effect of interstellar dust on Oumuamua.D. The possibility of Oumuamua being a spaceship.34. What is Oumuamua most likely to be according to the author?A. An asteroid. B. A space rock. C. Interstel
35、lar dust. D. An alien spacecraft.35. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that_.A. Oumuamua will return to where its from soonB. Oumuamuas real identity remains to be found outC. astronomers have not seen signs of Oumuamuas artificial originD. the Green Bank telescope has already heard somethi

Here is some advice.Before you begin(or go back to) studying English, ask yourself: Why do you want to study English?36 Like every decision in
37、life, studying English must be something you want to do.If you know why you want to study, setting goals is easy. For example, maybe you want to travel to an English-speaking country. Great! Your goal might be to learn “Survival English”. 37 Then, you may also ask yourself how long you need to study
38、 to achieve your goals. This answer is different for every student. 38 If you work 60 hours per week, dont plan on spending another 40 hours a week studying English. Start off slow, but study regularly. Use material that is challenging, but not too difficult.39 Do you study best at night, or on the
39、bus on your way to work? Do you like to study alone in a quiet place, or with friends and background music? After you have studied for a few weeks, adjust your study plan accordingly.4Its generally accepted that 40 .If you arent having fun learning English, you are not studying the right way!You can
40、 be a serious student who has fun at the same time. Make up your own rewards programme to give yourself encouragement to stay on task.A. It is wise to make a timetable.B. The important thing is to be realistic.C. Its better to find out what works for you.D. Learning English is interesting and reward
