• 1．If you're looking for a university with a strong international outlook but feel swept over by all the application options，here is some guidance to get you started.
     UK
     International students must apply to universities in the UK through a system known as UCAS.This system allows students to apply to up to five universities with just one application.It costs £20 for a single choice or £25 for more than one choice.
     The application consists of a series of questions to determine the student's schooling and applicants should describe their personal interests and related experiences.
     Switzerland
     Switzerland has four official languages and its universities are among the most international in the world.International applicants may need to take an entrance exam if they have a foreign school certificate，and must also prove that they have a good grasp of the French language.usually through taking a language exam.The full application costs 50 Swiss Francs for a holder of a Swiss diploma and 150 Swiss Francs for holders of foreign diplomas.
     Canada
     International applicants have to write up a personal profile as part of their application，which is very similar to the personal statement required for a UK university application.Students will also have to prove their English-language competency-there are nine ways to meet the English Language Admission Standard，which are listed on many university websites.
     Singapore
     The process of applying to a Singaporean university is very much alike，but overseas students may be delighted to find that the native applicants have to cover the same procedures：filling out an online application form and submit identification documents，supporting documents and an application fee of ﹩20.

• 2．My name is Matthew.I'm not someone who has many secrets，because I'm a terrible liar.But there is one huge secret that I kept for years-I failed my driving test I had never failed test before，and had never even come close.Driving made me anxious，but my parents told me I had to.They signed me up for driving lessons.I had gotten a perfect score for my written permit exam，but getting behind the wheel was a different story.
     But when October 30th rolled around，my pride set in.I wanted to be like everyone else at my school，showing off the brand new license they'd gotten.Looking back on that special day，I can't remember if I was nervous.What I do remember is starting the test，pausing at a stop sign after a few seconds，and being asked by the instructor to pull over（停靠）.I had received an auto-fail since my pause was indeed a pause and not a real stop.I wasn't upset that I was leaving without a license，but I was scared everyone would know that I had failed.So when I got to class，I told everyone I didn't want to take the test on my birthday.
     One Friday a month later，I went to the test spot again and passed.Later that night I drove for the first time by myself，which brought to me an amazing feeling I've never experienced- but still，I couldn't imagine ever telling anyone the truth.So I didn't.It wasn't until midway through college that I came clean.It turned out plenty of my college friends had failed too!And gathered enough courage to speak the fact out.Yes，I had also failed.
     Now I realize failure and imperfection are two things everyone has to experience，without which one couldn't make a true man.

• 3．We have most friends at the age of 26 after having spent the first quarter of our lives building up our friendship circle，a new research has claimed.
     The research into friendship shows that our social circle peaks at 26 years and 7 months，at which we typically have five close friends.Women are most popular at 25 years and 10 months with men hitting the highest friendship point a little later at 27 years and 3 months.
     The research，by Forever Friends，shows that about a third of adults meet their closest friends while at school，with about a fifth saying they meet them at work.
     Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter now also play a major role in building new friendship.The research points out that 25 to 34-year-olds make 22 friends via Facebook compared to 18 to 24-year-olds who make 12，and 35 to 44-yea-olds who make just four.
     Forever Friends' relationship coach Sam Owen says， "It is no coincidence that over a third of us meet our best friends at school.It is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing through sharing notes，giving gifts，seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot.As adults we can often forget how powerful these small things are and how the little things can make a difference."
     Later in life we find ourselves losing friends.Over half of us lose friendship through a moving，while 36% say that over time they grow apart from close pals.Having children also causes 19% to drift away from childhood friends.
     With growing pressures being put on friendship these days，it's important to make time for our friendship.
  （1）How many friends can a 20-year-old college student make via Facebook？

  
  A．4.
  B．12.
  C．18.
  D．22.
  （2）What is the author is trying to tell the readers in Paragraph 5？

  
  A．Friendship is not easy to keep.
  B．How important making friends is.
  C．Friendship at school is important.
  D．How much has been done to keep friendship.
  （3）What does the underline phrase "drift away from" in Paragraph 6 mean？

  
  A．Make sense of.
  B．Feel sorry for.
  C．Lose contact with.
  D．Make up with.
  （4）Where is this passage most probably taken from？

      Bryan never thought twice about the money.He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back，the next time she saw someone who needed help，she could give that person the assistance they needed.He waited until she started her car and drove off.It had been a cold and depressing day，but he felt good as he headed for home.
      Soon the lady saw a small restaurant.She went in to grab a bite to eat and warm up before she made the last leg of her trip home.The waitress came over with a sweet smile and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair.The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant（怀孕的）.Although the waitress looked tired and walked painfully due to the pregnancy，she still served the lady.
