A
Every day my husband parked his car in the same open-air car park in Zimbabwe. On this particular day, he had been running to his car with a pile of office papers under his arm. As he opened the car door, he suddenly lost control of his body. He felt a stabbing pain in his arm, and became totally breathless and lost consciousness. As he fell down, half in, half out of the car, his last thought was “what a way to die”.
A young woman getting into her own car in the deserted car park noticed what was going on and at once ran to my husband’s aid, trying to bring his life back. Realizing time was important, she tried to move my husband to her car, calling the guard at the gate.
Fearing an ambulance would take too long to arrive, she felt it better to get to the hospital as quickly as she could. She raced through traffic lights sounding her car’s horn and rushed into the hospital, calling out, “I have an unknown man here who I think is having a heart attack.
Having realized he was in capable hands, the woman returned to the car park, found his keys on the ground, collected his papers and piled them in the car. Having seen my husband come out of a certain building each day, the security guard thought he knew where he worked. The young woman managed to locate his colleagues and they in turn contacted my niece, who waited for me to return home so she could break the news to me.
After careful tests it turned out that my husband’s disease had nothing to do with heart. We were naturally eager to find the kind stranger who had come to his aid. After some weeks we discovered where the young woman worked. She was overjoyed when my husband walked into her office with a huge bouquet of flowers. She said she required no thanks, and preferred to remain anonymous (匿名的).
We now live in a different country, but each Christmas my husband remembers her act of kindness and sends a gift. We regard every day of his life as a bonus, all thanks to this kind stranger.

When you first arrive in Oxford, it may take a little while for you to find your way around. Some of the first things our students do when they arrive include finding a bike (most students in Oxford find cycling is the best way to go around), setting up a bank account, getting their computer and mobile phone working, finding their department, getting to know their college and working out the best places to socialize.
One of the major events you will experience shortly after “coming up” to Oxford is matriculation. Matriculation is held at the University’s Sheldonian Theatre and is the ceremony at which you are formally admitted to the university.
International students are invited to an orientation day at the start of the academic year. Sessions run throughout the day that will give you practical information about living and studying in the UK and introduce you to other graduate students from all over the world who are starting their studies at Oxford at the same time as you, as well as to current Oxford graduate students and staff who will be able to help and advise you. The day covers topics such as studying and learning in the Oxford system, University services, information on living in Britain and cultural differences, as well as addressing practical issues such as employment, immigration and visas, health and safety. You can choose which talks to attend and at the end of the day there is a social hour so you can meet fellow students.
Another good thing to experience early is college dining. Most colleges have a tradition of regular formal hall dinners, which consist of three or four courses, and the atmosphere of an evening out in a nice restaurant. On some of these occasions you can invite people around to your college for dinner and then they may return the favor. In this way, you can get to know people studying your own and other subjects at the same time as visiting many of the historical college grounds and dining halls.
32. For a newcomer to Oxford, what does he have to do first
A. To work out what to major in. B. To open a qq account.
C. To get a bike to go around. D. To buy a new mobile phone.
33. What is matriculation
A. A special day for International students to start academic year.
B. A ceremony when students are formally admitted to Oxford.
C. Performances held at the Sheldonian Theatre.
D. The best places to socialize.
34. Which talk can students attend on the orientation day
A. Studying in the Cambridge system.
B. Talks on how to meet fellow students.
C. Practical issues like employment, immigration, and health.
D. University services about the life in Britain and cultural similarities.
35. What does the underlined part in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Treating you to dinner. B. Visiting historic college in return.
C. Studying the subjects with your friend. D. Showing you around the college.

Dear editor,I am Li Ming of Senior Three, Guangming Middle School. I am writing to tell you about some symptoms of anxiety among us students before exams.
Most of us feel nervous whenever we’re taking an important exam. Some will feel dizzy or tired, and some will suffer from lack of sleep. In fact, all these symptoms have terrible effects on our exams and we have to get rid of them.
First of all, it’s important for us to make careful plans for every exam. In this way we can avoid suffering from the pressure of exams. We can also try a warm bath or a cup of warm milk before going to bed, which might help us have a sound sleep. Besides, enough rest can make us energetic and perform well in an exam.
Finally, I hope everybody can do a good job in each exam.
Yours,
Li Ming
(We’d better go out for a walk or do some outdoor exercises before and during an exam so that we can keep ourselves relaxed and then concentrate ourselves on exams.)
