Many years ago, when we first went to Canada, we were driving through Montana to Colorado with our two children. We thought we would find a mote（（汽车旅馆） on the way and had not made a booking. As it was getting late we started looking for a motel, only to find that all were booked.

He tried for 15 minutes. When he was unsuccessful, the woman, Linda, said she and her family lived nearby and would be happy if we spent the night at her home.
My husband was stunned at her offer. She called her sou to direct us, since she had to stay at the gas station till midnight.
When we reached their home, her husband greeted us. He took out two sleeping bags for the children. He invited us to have coffee and chat while we waited for his wife. When she came back, we asked if we could slip away in the morning so as not to disturb them. They said we were now guests and we would have to have breakfast with them.
We woke up to a table set for breakfast. They'd made a mountain of pancakes and bacon. We ate breakfast, and when we were leaving, my husband asked if he could offer some payment.

There are two main forms of teaching in Notinghain University: seminar （研讨会）and lecture. They are very different from the kind of teaching most often used in schools and colleges.
In seminars you will be taught with discussion focusing on a text or topic set in advance in. a. friendly and informal atmosphere. The purpose is to provide an opportunity to try out new ideas and to think through difficulties with fellow-learners. Students develop friendships through groups, and learn more about other people's ideas. You can also know your tutors（导师） as an individual rather than a face at the end of the room.
Lectures are the most formal. There may be over a hundred in the audience and the lecture will last about fifty minutes. The value of the lecture is that it can present people with a large number of information which is not readily available in books. Also it can give you an opportunity to hear an expert development（有条理的） argument, and it can show visual（视觉的） material to a wide audience.
Your typical week's work will feel strange after school or college since there are fewer timetabled teaching hours. Each-week in the first year you may attend about six lectures and four to six seminars or tutorials（辅导）. For the rest of the time you are working on your own, doing the necessary reading in preparation for tutorials or writing seminar papers. When writing an essay or doing project work, you can often discuss with your tutor about the title and topic.
28. The purpose of the passage is _________.
A. to introduce two main forms of teaching B. to persuade you to try out new ideas
C. to stress the importance of discussion D. to make you believe that seminar is more helpful
29. One of the values of the lecture is _________.
A. to make friends through groups
B. to learn more about other people's ideas
C. to offer a chance to discuss with an expert
D. to present students with information not found in books
30. Your typical week's work in the university will feel strange because _________.
A. you may have no project work after class
B. you may give lectures and seminars
C. you may have fewer scheduled after-school teaching hours
D. you may write seminar papers with fellow-learners
31. We can learn from the passage that _________.
A. seminar provides the chance to learn from visual material
B. lecture enables students to know their tutor better
C. seminar is of no help in developing friendships
D. lecture is more formal than seminar
D
Snowbirds are people who leave their homes when the temperature drops and head to warmer climates. They are mostly retirees（退休人员） and business owners who can afford to take the winter off. While the snow flies in the Northern states, they are enjoying golf, sailing and barbecues in mild temperatures in the South. Then, after winter passes, they return to their homes in the North.
Most snowbirds are away from Canada and the Northern states between the middle of October and the end of November. They pack up and head to Florida, Alabama, Texas, California, and all of the other Southern states. Some may even go as far as Australia or Italy to escape the cold winter weather. There are special communities for snowbirds in many areas. Snowbirds are also offered special discounts in some restaurants, hotels and area attractions. Several states even have special snowbird resorts （度假胜地）. There are several online communities and local resources to help snowbirds get set in their seasonal homes.
Some snowbirds own homes both in the South and in the North. Both homes have everything they will need for their stay, minimizing（最小化） the amount of packing necessary when moving from one to the other. Other snowbirds will rent apartments for their stay outside their home state.
RVs（房车）; are a huge part of the snowbird lifestyle. RVs allow snowbirds to move from place to place on a whim （奇想）, bringing everything they need with them. They spend nights in RV parks, large parking lots or anywhere else they choose to stay. RVs have beds, bathrooms, and most. other modern conveniences at home. Although the space is small, there is more than enough room for a couple to live in.
32. Which of the following is most probably a snowbird
A. One who retires and has a lot of free time.
B. One who likes to play in snow in winter.
C. One who travels around the world the whole year.

A. the Internet makes it easier for snowbirds to find seasonal homes.
B. snowbirds are not welcome in many areas in the world.
C. snowbirds have to stay in special communities.
D. it's not convenient to live as a snowbird.
34. RVs allow snowbirds to _________.
A. avoid the heavy traffic B. carry everything they have at home
C. have a comfortable life wherever they are D. save more money than renting an apartment
35. What's the purpose of the passage
A. To introduce a kind of bird. B. To introduce fun places for winter vacation.

There are two main forms of teaching in Notinghain University: seminar （研讨会）and lecture. They are very different from the kind of teaching most often used in schools and colleges.
In seminars you will be taught with discussion focusing on a text or topic set in advance in. a. friendly and informal atmosphere. The purpose is to provide an opportunity to try out new ideas and to think through difficulties with fellow-learners. Students develop friendships through groups, and learn more about other people's ideas. You can also know your tutors（导师） as an individual rather than a face at the end of the room.
Lectures are the most formal. There may be over a hundred in the audience and the lecture will last about fifty minutes. The value of the lecture is that it can present people with a large number of information which is not readily available in books. Also it can give you an opportunity to hear an expert development（有条理的） argument, and it can show visual（视觉的） material to a wide audience.
Your typical week's work will feel strange after school or college since there are fewer timetabled teaching hours. Each-week in the first year you may attend about six lectures and four to six seminars or tutorials（辅导）. For the rest of the time you are working on your own, doing the necessary reading in preparation for tutorials or writing seminar papers. When writing an essay or doing project work, you can often discuss with your tutor about the title and topic.

Snowbirds are people who leave their homes when the temperature drops and head to warmer climates. They are mostly retirees（退休人员） and business owners who can afford to take the winter off.
