Welcome Buddies at Anglia Ruskin University （ARU）
Your Welcome Buddy is here to support you when you start your undergraduate course at ARU.
Whether you're leaving home for the first time，or are a mature student returning to higher education，you may be feeling a mix of emotions，from excitement to nervousness，or perhaps worry about feeling lonely as you won't know anyone yet. Don't worry，this is perfectly normal and it's why we have our Welcome Buddy organization–students supporting other students in the transition to ARU.
What does a Welcome Buddy do？
Your Welcome Buddy will get in touch with you when you start at ARU，taking away those first-day panic! Once you've started ARU，they will then be in touch to arrange a face to face meet up through video call or in person，so at least you'll already know one friendly face.
Your Welcome Buddy can share their ARU experience with you and let you know about the amazing clubs，societies，sports teams and volunteering opportunities that you might want to get involved in. They will help you settle in，whether that's showing you around campus or the city；directing you to where your first lecture will be or signposting you to all the fantastic support that's available to you.
How will I be matched with my Welcome Buddy？
Every undergraduate student starting ARU will automatically be matched with one of our current undergraduate Welcome Buddies in the same department and on the same course.
Postgraduate Research students will be matched to a Welcome Buddy with a similar research area if they choose to join the organization.
How will my Welcome Buddy contact me？
We will set up on an online designated （指定的） chat space for you and your Welcome Buddy and you will receive an email notification to your ARU email whenever you get a message on the chat，so it's really easy for you to stay in touch. Our brilliant Welcome Buddies will each look after a handful of new students，who will be added to the same chat space too so you can connect with them as well.

It was a winter afternoon when, rushing to attend the final show of my art school degree, I caught the heel of my boot on the edge of a pavement. Suddenly, I was flying through the air. If the past two years studying photography had taught me anything, it was an appreciation of how things can change in a thousandth of a second. Light, shadow, colours, all are in a constant state of flux （不断的变动）— as is life. And since crash-landing onto my left shoulder, I have been living through the truth of this wisdom.
That day, doctors diagnosed a cracked bone. It was only the next morning when, instinctively, I tried to capture some spectacular sunlight streaming into my kitchen, that I had to face the harsh reality: I could no longer lift my camera, let alone use it. Later that week, a hospital appointment confirmed my worst fear — the arm needed total rest.
Soon, I became cantankerous and impatient. I couldn't travel, I couldn’t go anywhere much. Surfing online, I came across the concept of gratitude interventions and their role in boosting mood and wellbeing. A Californian psychologist, Sonja Lyubomirsky, has pioneered research into using a daily photography practice as a tool for enhanced gratitude. Her instructions are simple, but not necessarily easy. Take photographs throughout the day of things that are central to who you are. Take at least five photos a day. Initially, it felt like a demanding task. But reading how participants assigned to the gratitude interventions had experienced enhanced positive emotions, I decided to persevere.
Pain forced me to slow down, because capturing a single iPhone photo was painful. And, yet, the struggle to find anything to feel grateful about, and then to record it, started to dramatically improve both my mood and my images. I began to photograph the most boring details of my days, from my breakfast cup to a red pepper reflected in the window. Despite everything, I found I could find magic in the ordinary. "Life seems repetitive and boring when you don't notice the uniqueness of each moment and the constant subtle changes that are going on all around you, " write Andy Karr in a wonderful book on photography. I agree, but don't just take my word for it — experience it for yourself.
24. What happened to the writer on the winter afternoon
A. She went to her classmate's degree show in a hurry.
B. She tripped over and injured herself seriously.
C. She was taught an unforgettable lesson on photography.
D. She took a photo of a tragic crash-landing to be on show.
25. The underlined word " cantankerous" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______ .
A. suspicious of the hospital diagnosis B. desperate to have my injury treated
C. enthusiastic about boosting wellbeing D. bad-tempered and always complaining
26. The writer photographed the boring life routine because ______ .
A. underlying magic consisted in daily affairs B. gratitude fuelled a struggle against boredom
C. it was central to the essence of photography D. she felt like being assigned demanding tasks
27. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage ？ ______
A. Express Gratitude to the Ordinary B. Become a Master of Photography
C. See life as a constant state of flux D. Picture the beauty in the Ordinary
C
That people often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings is a phenomenon known as the “first-night” effect. If a person stays in the same room the following night, they tend to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to investigate the origins of this effect.
Dr. Sasaki knew the first-night effect probably has something to do with how humans evolved. The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it since performance might be affected the following day. She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining alert enough to avoid predators. This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing. To take a closer look, her team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment of the university’s Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains. Dr. Sasaki found, as expected, the participants slept less well on their first night than they did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less overall. During deep sleep, the participants’ brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins. On the first night only, the left hemispheres of their brains did not sleep nearly as deeply as their right hemispheres did.
Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process information detected in the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night. She worked out that, if the left hemisphere was staying alert to keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found.
28. What did researchers find puzzling about the first-night effect
A. To what extent it can trouble people. C. What circumstances may trigger it.
B. What role it has played in evolution. D. In what way it can be beneficial.
29. What do we learn about Dr. Yuka Sasaki doing her research
A. She found birds and dolphins remain alert while asleep.
B. She found birds and dolphins sleep in much the same way.
C. She got some idea from previous studies on birds and dolphins
D. She conducted studies on birds’ and dolphins’ sleeping patterns.
30. What did Dr. Sasaki do when re-running her experiment
A. She analyzed the negative effect of irregular tones on brains.
B. She recorded participants’ adaptation to changed environment.
C. She exposed her participants to two different stimuli.
D. She compared the responses of different participants.
31. What did Dr. Sasaki find about the participants in her experiment
A. They tended to enjoy certain tones more than others.
B. They tended to perceive irregular beeps as a threat.
C. They felt sleepy when exposed to regular beeps.
D. They differed in their tolerance of irregular tones.
D
Back in 1964, in his book Games People Play, psychiatrist Eric Berne described a pattern of conversation he called "Why Don't You — Yes But", which remains one of the most annoying aspects of everyday social life. The person adopting the strategy is usually a chronic complainer. Something is terrible about their relationship, job, or other situation, and they complain about it endlessly, but find some excuse to dismiss any solution that's proposed. The reason, of course, is that on some level they don't want a solution; they want to be validated in their position that the world is out to get them. If they can "win" the game — dismissing every suggestion until interlocutors(对话者) gives up in annoyance — they get to feel pleasurably righteous(正当的) in their anger and excused from any obligation to change.
Part of the trouble here is the so-called responsibility/fault fallacy(谬误).When you're feeling hard done by — taken for granted by your partner, say, or obliged to work for a stupid boss — it's easy to become attached to the position that it's not your job to address the matter, and that doing so would be an admission of fault. But there's a confusion here. For example, if I were to discover a newborn at my front door, it wouldn't be my fault, but it most certainly would be my responsibility. There would be choices to make, and no possibility of avoiding them, since trying to ignore the matter would be a choice. The point is that what goes for the baby on the doorstep is true in all cases：even if the other person is 100% in the wrong, there's nothing to be gained, long-term, from using this as a justification to evade responsibility.
Should you find yourself on the receiving end of this kind of complaining, there's a clever way to shut it down — which is to agree with it. Psychotherapist Lori Gottlieb describes this as "over-validation". For one thing, you'll be spared further complaining, since the other person's motivation was to confirm her beliefs, and now you're confirming them. But for another, as Gottlieb notes, people confronted with over-validation often hear their complaints afresh and start arguing back. The concept that they're utterly powerless suddenly seems unrealistic, not to mention rather annoying — so they're prompted instead to generate ideas about how they might change things.
"And then, sometimes, something magical might happen, " Gotlieb writes. The other person "might realize she's not as trapped as you are saying she is, or as she feels. " Avoiding responsibility feels comfortable, but turns out to be a prison；whereas assuming responsibility feels unpleasant, but ends up being freeing.
32.What is the characteristic of a chronic complainer，according to Eric Berne
A. They are angry about their ill treatment and feel bitter towards whoever tries to help.
B. They are habitually unhappy and endlessly find fault with people around them.
C. They constantly dismiss others' proposals while taking no responsibility for dealing with the problem.
D. They lack the basic skills required for successful conversations with others.
33.What does the author try to illustrate with the example of the newborn on one's doorstep
A. People tend to think that one should not be held responsible for others' mistakes.
B. It is easy to become attached to the position of overlooking one's own fault.
C. People are often at a loss when confronted with a number of choices.
D. A distinction should be drawn between responsibility and fault.
34.What does the author advise people to do to chronic complainers
A. Stop them from going further by agreeing with them.
B. Listen to their complaints attentively and sympathetically.
C. Ask them to validate their beliefs with further evidence.
D. Persuade them to clarify the confusion they caused.
35.Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. What is the responsibility/fault fallacy for chronic complainers
B. How can you avoid dangerous traps in everyday social life
C. Who are chronic complainers and how to deal with them
D. Why should we stop being a chronic complainer and assume responsibility？

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My little sister, Meg, said that she wasn't afraid of the dark anymore and she'd be OK staying with Aunt Lily in the country. "As long as you're there, Mike," she said to me. Still, Mum was worried. Meg had never slept away from home, away from the city. So I told Mum I could handle everything.
Even though we were only staying overnight, Meg had brought six books—all about fairies(仙女). After we unpacked, Aunt Lily invited us to pick some flowers. As we followed her through the forest, Meg held my hand tightly. But once we reached the sunlit grassland, she let go. "Butterflies!" whispered Meg. She screamed with delight when one flew near her.
Maybe I had nothing to worry about, I thought. I still remembered when I was here last summer, I found some amazing insects, like fireflies(萤火虫) and walking sticks which I'd never seen in the city.
"Fairies are magical. See these beautiful flowers they grow!" she kept telling absolutely everything she knew about fairies. I was glad that if she kept it up until bedtime, then maybe she'd fall right to sleep.
Meg did keep chatting, right through supper. Then the sun began to set. "Does it get really dark out here at night " she asked. Her eyes were fixed on the window．
"Sure, but we've got plenty of lights inside," said Aunt Lily. She leaned over and gave Meg a warm smile. But I could tell she was still worried. "I could read to you."
I hadn't even finished a page when her bottom lip started shaking slightly. "Mike," she said, her eyes starting to fill. "I want to go home." I quickly searched through her book for something to keep her from crying.
The book fell open to a page that was dog-eared from use, a page that was obviously one of Meg's favorites. The text read: "Among the trees deep in the forest, the lights of fairies gleam (闪烁)." Aha! How could I forget those "tiny fairies" out there
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右：
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
"Meg, there's something outside I want to show you," I whispered.___________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ "Tiny fairies, Mike!" she said, pressing her forehead against the window, "Everywhere!" ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________
