3. Passage 18 Students can travel in the United States without spending too much money if they follow these suggestions. A travel agent can give you information on special economy fares for trains， buses and planes. Think about hiking or biking for a part of your trip， too. You‘ll not only save money， but you‘ll also see a lot more of the country. Some students may want to travel by car. Be sure to think about going with other students — many colleges have ―ride boards‖ that list when and where other students plan to travel. Many radio stations provide the same sort of service — they announce who‘s driving where， when， how many riders they will take and what the expenses will be. There are many inexpensive， older hotels near bus or train stations. Check your travel guide for names of the best. Many parts of the country also have youth hostels where young people can stay for only a few dollars a night. You don‘t have to eat in restaurants all the time， but we don‘t recommend a diet of candy and cola， either. You can usually get a healthy， cheap breakfast in a restaurant. If the weather is warm， you can buy food in supermarkets or at roadside stands and have a picnic for lunch. For dinner you can get the names of good， cheap restaurants from travel guides or friends. If you want to share rides with others， you can get information( ).

1. Passage 3 Dieting to lose weight has become very popular in recent years. People have become more health conscious and try to take better care of their bodies by eating more nutritiously and exercising more regularly to lose any unnecessary fat that they may have. Not only are people being more careful about what they eat， they are also concerned with how they eat and how their meals are prepared. People are taking more time for each meal. Many avoid the so called ―plastic‖ fast-food hamburgers and choose to eat a salad or a sandwich of more healthful ingredients(成分) in a quiet restaurant with a more leisurely atmosphere. At home， they also try to take enough time to eat a relaxing dinner without phone or TV interruptions. While dieting may be viewed as beneficial， it has also become a serious problem for Americans， particularly for young women. Dieting for them has actually become a psychological addiction( 依 赖 ). They eat so little that they can lose as much as fifty percent of their total body weight， and although they look like skeletons， they still insist that they are fat. The current waves of exercising， dieting and the problems produced have caused many organizations to begin educating the public. Many schools， hospitals， health organizations， newspapers and magazines， for example， are offering classes， printing booklet articles， etc. to inform the public of the way to exercise and diet， of the dangers of dieting too rapidly， and of the places people can go for medical help if they find themselves on the road to ―diet addiction‖.

2. Passage 19 Throughout her working life， a ship — like a motorcar — must be serviced regularly if she is to remain efficient. After a period at sea she must be overall checked and any necessary repairs must be made. There are also instances when a ship must be converted from being one kind of carrier to another. Most of today‘s oil， for example， is carried by huge super-tankers. The smaller tankers， many of which are still in good condition， can be converted into bulk carriers(散货船) for the transport of sugar， coal or ore. Conversion or repair work is carried out in a dry dock， a huge hole cut into the ground and lined with concrete. At one end are large gates separating the dock from the river or sea. When these gates are opened， water pours into the dock and fills it. A ship can then enter the dock， where it is carefully fastened in an upright position. When the ship is positioned inside the dock， the gates are closed and the water is pumped out. The vessel slowly settles on to wooden blocks. Wooden supporters are put in position between the ship and the sides of the dock to prevent her from rolling over. Great care is taken to make sure that the ship rests evenly on the keel(龙骨)blocks to prevent damage being done. As soon as the ship is firmly positioned， repair or conversion work can begin on her body or superstructure. Many smaller tankers have been converted into bulk carriers because( ).

A. 　there is a shortage of oil in the world

B. 　large amounts of sugar， coal and ore is needed in the world market

C. 　most of today‘s oil is carried by huge super-tankers

A new community program called ―One On One‖ helps elementary students who‘ve fallen behind. Your education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching， that is， tutoring in Math and English. You‘d have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose help a child with Math， English， or both. Half-hour lesson are fine， so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week. Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors ---- he‘ll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week. I‘m sure you will enjoy this community service and you‘ll gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume， too， showing that you‘ve had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you‘d like to sign up， or if you have any questions， stop by Professor Dodge‘s office this week. What should students interested in the tutorials do?

4. Passage 9 What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage. Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family， such as stairways and fire escapes， but not lifts. From the lower floors of the buildings， escaping through windows is possible， learn the best way of leaving by windows with the last chance of serious injury. The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average person， hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course， it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building. Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leak into the room. On a second or third floor， the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement might end in injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall. Open the window so that( )if the building is on fire.
