To better adjust to the life of studying abroad in the UK, we should learn about the forms of teaching at UK universities in advance.

Lecture

Many students will attend classes at the same time. Professors will explain professional knowledge and recent academic developments. The duration of a class is 1 to 3 hours. Seminars

Seminars (研讨会) are generally held after the lecture, once a week or every other week,  ranging from 30 minutes to 1 hour. A seminar includes communication between students and supervisors (导师) . The purpose is to discuss and analyze real cases based on the theories learned in lectures.

Workshop

If you are studying a practical major (专业), such as engineering and artistic design,  you will have workshops. The content of the workshop is usually to learn an auxiliary (辅助的)software, carry out a design in the school studio or do an experiment in the laboratory.

Field trips

Field trips are mainly aimed at students studying subjects like architecture and urban planning. For example, in the art appreciation major, professors usually take students to visit art galleries to experience the wonderful artworks up close, which is a much more vivid experience than just sitting in class.

Jack was 11 months old in the spring of 2015 when his parents, Erika and Christopher, recognized his development was not progressing as it should. The feeling was familiar to the couple. Just a few months earlier, Jack’s brother Chase, who is 16 months older, had been diagnosed with autism(自闭症) after he did not reach motion and language standards as expected.

Jack’s behaviors were similarly delayed, and his parents moved quickly to seek help. Today, Jack is 5 — he celebrated his birthday on May 13 — and he can speak in full sentences and read. After two years at a preschool that specializes in services for children with developmental disabilities, he will start kindergarten in the Smithtown school district in September. “Our family’s experience is a good example of the power and effectiveness of early intervention. The services our boys have received made all the difference,” the parents said.

According to scientists, autism can be detected at 18 months or younger, and by age 2 a diagnosis can be considered “very reliable.” The parents said they were happy with Chase’s success at the learning center, but still had concerns for Jack because he was not speaking. Developing social and communication skills can be among the greatest challenge for individuals with autism, even if they are able to say a few words early on. “We didn’t know if he was ever going to talk,” Erika said. “That was my biggest fear. We just didn’t know.”

Looking ahead, the parents are cautiously optimistic about Jack’s next educational move. He doesn’t handle change well, they said, and he likes to know his routine. Still, they expressed confidence that his time at the learning center has given him the skills he needs to be successful.

4．How did Jack’s parents know he suffered from autism?

A．They found the baby clever. B．They judged by their experience.

C．They found he didn’t develop. D．They checked on him in the hospital.

5．What did the parents think of the early intervention?

A．It made no difference to the babies. B．It benefitted the babies greatly.

C．It got their babies more disabled. D．It helped their babies speak fluently.

6．What can we learn from the third paragraph?

A．Autism can be confirmed at 18 months old.

B．Jack’s parents were confident about his motor skills.

C．Chase’s parents were doubtful about his development

D．Jack’s parents worried about his language skills most.

7．What is the text mainly talking about?

A．Autism can be cured if parents take actions early.

B．Parents should be confident about their children’s future.

C．Early intervention in autism could improve children’s life.

D．Communication skills should be developed as early as possible.

Gabriela worked for a multinational company as a successful project manager in Brazil. Later she was transferred to manage a team in Sweden. She was excited about her new role but soon realized that managing her new team would be a challenge.

Despite their friendliness, Gabriela didn’t feel respected as a leader. Her new staff would question her proposals openly in meetings. When she gave them instructions on how to carry out task, they would often go about it in their own way without checking with her. When she announced her decisions on the project, they would continue giving their opinions as if it were still up for discussion.

What Gabriela was experiencing was a cultural shock in expectations. Dutch psychologist Geert Hofstede uses the concept of “power distance” to describe how power is distributed in different cultures. In her previous work environment, Gabriela was used to a high power distance culture where power is respected. In such a culture, leaders make the big decisions and are not often challenged. Her Swedish team, however, were used to working in a low power distance culture where employees often work together with their bosses to find solutions and make decisions. Here, leaders act as coaches who encourage independent thought and expect to be challenged.

When Gabriela became aware of the cultural differences between her and her team, she took the initiative(主动权)to have an open conversation with them about their feelings about her leadership.

Pleased to be asked for their thoughts, Gabriela’s team openly expressed that they were not used to being told what to do. They enjoyed having more room for initiative and creative freedom. When she told her team exactly what she needed them to do, they felt that she didn’t trust them to do their job well.

With a better understanding of the reasons behind each other’s behaviour, Gabriela was able to make adjustments to her management style. Finally she effectively motivated her team to achieve their goals.

8．What problem did Gabriela face with her Swedish team at the beginning?

A．Her Swedish staff didn’t understand her instructions.

B．Her authority was challenged by her Swedish staff.

C．They were always refusing to follow her directions.

D．They looked down upon her because she was a female.

9．What is encouraged in the working culture in Sweden?

A．Professional spirit and risk-taking behaviour.

B．Independent thinking and friendly atmosphere.

C．Active participation and creative thinking.

D．Competitive spirit and mild character.

10．Which of the following can best describe Gabriela?

A．Kind but changeable. B．Strict but trustworthy.

C．Flexible and communicative. D．Stubborn and forceful.

11．What a lesson can we learn from Gabriela’s story?

A．Birds of a feather flock together. B．Don’t judge a book by its cover.

C．Two heads are better than one. D．When in Rome, do as Romans do.

二、七选五

We love our dogs and always try to take good care of them, but there are some simple things that can be harmful to our pets. ____12____

Playing fetch with sticks

Most dogs love playing fetch with sticks. It may be fun to throw one for your dog when you don’t have a ball or rubber toy handy, but they can be extremely dangerous. Sticks can easily break. ____13____ A stick can also go through a dog’s throat and get stuck there, which can be life threatening.

Feeding cooked bones

Dogs love eating bones and human leftovers, but cooked bones should never be fed to dogs. They can break into small, sharp pieces. They have the potential to cause choking or cuts to the mouth, throat or gut.

If you choose to feed your dog bones, only feed raw bones and always under control. ____14____

Not all dogs can swim

Dog owners often take it for granted that all dogs can swim, but in fact some dogs may not be able to swim at all. Pugs, French bulldogs, dachshunds and similar are often poor swimmers. ____15____ In order for these dogs to keep their noses and mouths above water they must stick their heads out from under water, which points their back end downwards, making them almost vertical in the water and likely to sink.

____16____ To do this, get in the water with them and support them under the body until they get the hang of using all four legs to push themselves forward.

Kindness can bring more kindness

Human beings are not just judged by the way we treat each other, but by the way we treat any creature that is powerless.

Martin was living on the streets in Bucaramanga, Colombia when a stranger noticed him at a local park. The passerby was so touched by what he saw that he filmed it.

The passerby saw Martin sitting on some concrete steps with two dogs wearing party hats. Martin pulled a small cake out of a plastic bag. He clapped his hands, sang happy birthday and petted his beloved companions. He lit two candles on the cake while his dogs observed him, and he gave them each a kiss on the cheek.

He then gave a slice of cake to each of his dogs on paper plates. As they ate together, Martin wiped tears from his eyes and petted his dogs some more.

After witnessing the sweet birthday party, the passerby walked up to Martin and asked him about his dogs. He learned that Martin had two dogs, Shaggy and Nena, and that they were celebrating Shaggy’s birthday.

He learned Martin had escaped an abusive home and had been living on the streets for the past several years. Shaggy and Nena were his only family and, even while he was homeless, Martin did everything he could to take care of them. “In so many years living on the street I was never alone,” Matin explained. “My dogs were always there to bring joy to many sad days.”

“My dog was celebrating his birthday,” Martin said again, “and I wanted to give him a quarter of a chicken, but I didn’t have enough money for that. Then I saw a lady who was going to throw away a cake and I told her to give it to me. She handed it to me, saying, ‘Take it, son, you make better use of it than I do.’”
