When you're choosing a college a lot of factors probably may be considered: the school's reputation the classes offered, and the professors in your major, to name a few. However. considering the increasing competitiveness of universities to attract more and more applicants, many schools now offer extra benefits to be enjoyed by all of their students. Here are some of the coolest:
University of Missouri
When you think of a campus gym, you probably picture a room equipped with out-of-date machines. However, at the University of Missouri, you can enjoy one of the best campus fitness centers in the country. It features an "indoor beach" with a waterfall and a lazy river, as well as a full-service spa. Even if you don't normally enjoy working out, Missouri's fitness center will give you a reason to go to the gym.
High Point University

Seton Hall University
If you're worrying about the extra cost of technology when you start college, Seton Hall has great news for you: all freshmen are given free laptops through the university's Mobile Computing Program. As a freshman, you'll receive a laptop already set up with all of the software that you'll need as a student. Then after two years, you'll receive anew and updated laptop designed to ear you through until after you graduate.
New York University
"If you' re a fan of museums, New York University is the perfect university for you: not only are you located in the heart of a city featuring some of the best museums in the world, but the university will even provide you with free admission to many of them.

During my career in the past years, I've been fired a few times. The last time was about five years ago.
At the time. I co-owned a literary agency. I agreed to take. on a giant project for a major client. I worked my tail off about a year, focusing just on this one client. Meanwhile, my partner and associates took care of everyone else. We all thought it was a good bet. But in the end, the client fired me and paired with an agency who promised to get him a major book deal with a New York publishing house and an appearance on Oprah Winfrey's television show. I was left high and dry with nothing to show for my year-long investment.
The worst part was that I did not see it coming. I thought I had done a great job, and we had enjoyed a Long-term personal relationship. But my client had his eye on bigger things and decided I couldn't take him there, so he abandoned me without discussion.
The thing I finally learned from this experience was that clients and customers can be changeable. So never put all your eggs in one basket.
This wasn't the only mistake I'd made in my career. Some of the mistakes I had made got me fired. That got my attention and furthered my education in the school of hard knocks.
Chances are that you are going to be fired at some point in your career. Last May, 1.7 million workers in America were laid off or fired. And according to the Labor Department, that was during month of generally good economic news. The trick—after being fired—is to try to push bitterness aside and learn from it. Failure can be a great teacher, but we have to listen.
56. Why did the author only focus on one project
A. His client required him to do so. B. He considered it would be a safe bet.
C. It could give him an appearance on the show. D. There were no other projects in his agency.
57. Why was the author abandoned
A. He caused some trouble for his client.
B. His client wanted to teach him a lesson.
C. He couldn't satisfy his client's demands.
D. His client was afraid of destroying their friendship.
58. What lesson did the author probably learn
A. He should have spread his risk.
B. He should have tired his best to do better.
C. He shouldn't have worked on giant projects.
D. He shouldn't have made friends with his clients.
59. What trick did the author learn from being fired
A. Don't keep suffering, and learn from failure.
B. Study further to obtain a higher degree.
C. Endure failure, don't resist and welcome success.
D. Get rid of difficult customers as soon as possible.
60. What does the author mainly write the text for
A. To show the importance of failure. B. To tell us how to face getting fired.
C. To share a most horrible experience. D. To explain why people easily get fired.
C
It's good to make mistakes, and here is why.
First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that we are trying new things. It's always good to try new things because when we are trying new things, we are growing. If we never try anything new, how can we improve How can we expand The simple answer is "We can't. "Look around us. With very few exceptions, either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new.
Another good thing about mistakes is this: When we are making mistakes, we are leaning. Consider this—Edison failed 10, 000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, be said that he had learned 10, 000 things that didn't work.
Finally, when we make a mistake, we are much closer to success. Why Because when all is said and done, we will have tried some number of things before we succeeded. Every time we make a mistake, we eliminate one of those things and are one step closer.
But all this doesn't mean that we should go through life without considering the consequences of a mistake. Quite the contrary, when we try something new, we have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesn't work out the way we want it to, we will be in a position to try again. we all have limited resources—in the form of time and money—so we shouldn't blow them all on one approach to a problem. Realize that it probably won't be perfect the first time and allocate these resources appropriately so we can learn, make corrections, and try it again. Only by accepting and using our mistakes in this way can we make significant advances in our lives.
There is an old saying that goes, "If you're not making mistakes, you' re not trying hard enough." So go forth and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And prosper.
61. From the second paragraph, we can conclude that________.
A. mistakes are unnecessary for development B. mistakes let us see our own limits
C it's common for people to make mistakes D. making mistakes is better than not trying
62. According to the passage, if we try new things, we can________.
A. move forward B. never fail
C. obtain nothing D. be closer to mistakes
63. The underlined word "eliminate" means________.
A. make up for B. get rid of C. avoid D. solve
64. According to the article, one thing we should pay attention to about making mistakes is________.
A. avoiding making the same mistakes
B. accepting the outcome willingly
C. making proper arrangements for our next try
D. reflecting on the consequences after each mistake
65. The article is mainly about________.
A. how to deal with mistakes B. what benefits making mistakes brings
C. how to achieve success D. how to make use of our mistakes

From time to time, life might provide a person with the present of a moment that changes everything. As for me, that came on a plane home in January, 2009. Frankly, as a lawyer, I specialized in corporate law in oil and gas projects. In fact, I'd grown to bate my job. It involved too much paperwork and loads of traveling, which I thought was fairly exhausting.
Actually, becoming a lawyer was unintended. I loved my school but it was competitive and students were destined for a good university, and then a graduate plan. That was the track I was on. After graduation, I became a lawyer, but that just made me trapped. I wanted to make a difference, but I had no idea what else I could do.
On that life-changing flight, I asked a stewardess to bring me a hot drink. When she returned, I couldn't help crying. Hugging me, she said, "I don't know what's wrong but if you're crying in business class, you need to change your life."
Those words had a great effect on me. I couldn't carry on in a job that made me so uncomfortable.
After much reflection, I resigned 18 months later. The last time I'd been happy was when I was volunteering at a school. Because of that, my friend Sophia kept telling me I'd love teaching. Then I contacted four schools and became a teacher in the end. No amount of planning would have prepared me for my first day as a teacher. It was stressful, but as I became familiar with the curriculum, I relaxed.
Five years on, I'm head of department. Watching my students develop is so rewarding and results day makes me burst with pride. I used to feel scared about the thought of becoming a more senior lawyer, but I'm so positive about the opportunities teaching can offer. I earn less now but I become richer in many ways.
Every single day, I feel excited to go to work.

Good morning, dear friends. My name is Li Jin. I feel honored to take this opportunity to share with you the experience of our student associations.
I’ve been in the English club for a whole term. First of all, we set up an English learning column where students can write articles, poems and so on. Excellent works are selected and displayed every month. In addition, we held an English speech contest. Not only did the students practice their spoken English, but they also improved their ability to express themselves. Finally, we also performed English dramas. It gave students more chances to understand the cultural customs of English-speaking countries and increase their interest in English culture.
Many members said that they had benefited greatly from these activities. The activities improved their English and brought them a lot of fun. Personally, I think it’s a good idea to set up a club. I hope our club will become stronger and more mature.
Thanks for your listening and I’m looking forward to the experience you will share with us.
That’s all. Thank you.
