16．Most students are also workers in colleges around the country．
The reality of college can be pretty different from the images presented in movies and television．Instead of the students who wake up late，party all the time，and study only before exams，many colleges are full of students with pressing schedules of not just classes and activities，but real jobs，too．
This isn't a temporary phenomenon．The share of working students has been on the rise since the 1970s，and one-fifth of students work year round．About one-quarter of those who work while attending school have both a full-course load and a full-time job．The arrangement can help pay for tuition and living costs，obviously．And there's value in it beyond the direct cause：such jobs can also be critical for developing important professional and social skills that make it easier to land a job after graduation．With many employers looking for students with already-developed skill sets，on-the-job training while in college can be the best way to ensure a job later on．
But it's not all upside．Even full-time work may not completely cover the cost of tuition and living expenses．The study notes that if a student worked a full-time job at the federal minimum wage，they would earn just over $15，000 each year，certainly not enough to pay for tuition，room，and board at many colleges without some serious financial aid．That means that though they're sacrificing time away from the classroom，many working students will still graduate with at least some debt．And working fulltime can reduce the chance that students will graduate at all，by cutting into the time available for studying and attending classes．
There is little reward for attending but not finishing college．Students who wind up leaving school because of difficulty in managing work and class are likely to find themselves stuck in some of the same jobs they might have gotten if they hadn't gone at all．The difficulty of working too much while in school can create a cycle that pushes students further into debt without receiving any of the financial or career benefits．

7．根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項．選項中有兩項為多余選項．
It is very common for you to find yourself in an unfamiliar situation．（36）B Yes，everyone tells you to stand on your own two feet and take responsibility for your action，but if you haven't experienced a situation before，how can you know what to do？
We usually try our best to do everything on our own and not to rely on others，but at certain times calling for help is the best way forward．You can picture the scene of the man--it is usually a man--driving blindly around an unfamiliar town looking for an address he doesn't know．（37）D And he could get to his appointment on time．It is obvious to everybody in such a case that asking for help is not a sign of weakness，but rather the sensible thing to do．
（38）C For example，you are looking for a new job and need to write your resume（簡歷）．If your pride prevents you from getting help and you just do the writing yourself，it may well cost the opportunity you are seeking．Similarly，when you just started a new job，you often don't want to admit that you haven't got the knowledge to finish a particular task，so you keep going and eventually make things worse than they were．This may lead to a diminishing（貶低）of you in the eyes of the boss．（39）A
Now you can see that asking for help is not a sign of weakness but is the sensible and mature thing to do．（40）F Making your life easier by asking for and using knowledgeable help is not a sign of weakness，but is actually quite a clever thing to do．

A．What's worse，you are most likely to lose the new job．
B．Actually speaking，asking for help is not a sign of weakness．
C．There are times when you know you don't have the relevant experience．
D．If only he would stop and ask for directions，he could save lots of time．
E．However，many people tend to make mistakes over and over when help is available．
F．You will also recognize expert help would save your time，energy and money．
G．You can accustom yourself to asking for help sooner or later．

11．No one enjoys hearing the sound of someone else chewing their food．Most of the time，though，it's not that big a deal but a minor annoyance．
But for a small group of people with misophonia （恐音癥），the sound can be painful，causing extreme anger and deep discomfort．The most ordinary sounds of chewing and breathing can drive them crazy．Past attempts to explain the causes of misophonia have suggested everything from compulsive disorder to an easily-annoyed personality---but according to a study published yesterday in the journal Current Biology，the true criminal is the structure of the brain．
For the study，a team of researchers led by Newcastle University neuroscientist Sukhbinder Kumar recruited （招募） 42 volunteers，of whom around half had extreme misophonia and the other half served as the control group，and played them several different noises：some ordinary； some harsh，like the sound of a person screaming； and some that were ordinary for the control group but known to be annoying for misophonics，people with misophonia，like the sound of breathing．As the participants listened，the researchers monitored them for signs of anxiety，both physical symptoms and behavioral expressions，and observed their brain activity using FMRI scans．
The only significant difference in reaction between the two groups happened，during the misophonia-specific sounds，when those with the condition showed physical changes that suggested they were entering fight-or-flight mode．
Misophonics had increased activity in the AIC，an area known to play a central role in the system that determines which things we should pay attention to．When the trigger sounds were played，there was not only more activity in this region but also abnormally high levels of connection to other regions．
Misophonia，in other words，may be a result of misplaced attention the brain of a misophonic focuses on things that other people normally tune out （不予理會）．On a related note，on behalf of misophonics and manners-minded moms everywhere：Please，chew with your mouth closed．

32．What is the true criminal of misophonia？D
A．Sounds of chewing and breathing．
B．Compulsive disorder．
C．An easily-annoyed personality．
D．The structure of the brain．
33．Which way did researches use to carry out their research？C
A．Playing volunteers several different voices
B．Observing volunteers'heart activity using FMRI scans
C．Monitoring volunteers for signs of anxiety
D．Analyzing volunteers'answers to specific questions
34．Which of the following is true according to the passage？B
A．Misophonics had decreased activity in the AIC during the misophonia-specific sounds．
B．The brain of a misophonic concentrates on things other people normally ignore．
C．Around 42volunteers with extreme misophonia were recruited in the research．
D．Chewing food noisily is appreciated by the people all over the world．
35．What is the main idea of the passage？A
A．Reasons why misophonics can't stand even small noises．
B．Misophonia may cause misplaced attention．
C．We should care for misophonics．
D．Symptoms of misophonia．

1．Elwood Neff always liked trains，but the truck driver didn't become a model train enthusiast until he picked up a copy of Model Railroader magazine that he found at a truck stop．After that，he spent his free time playing around with small-scale（小型的）model trains at his home in Indiana．
Over time，his interest in the hobby grew．"My eyesight kind of forced me into large-scale．"he jokes．But of course large．scale model trains need large spaces to run in•So when he retired，Elwood built a 24-by-48．foot train room that"looks pretty big empty，but filled up really，really fast"．His layout（設(shè)計）was fashioned after a mining railroad，including a roundhouse．
For model train hobbyists，there are two broad categories：collecting and building．Model railroaders are collectors，of course，often seeking a favorite childhood toy，a scale engine and cars，or parts of a matched set that they're on a hunt to complete．While a few collectors may only display their trains，most model railroaders operate their own railroad kingdoms，some letting their imaginations run wild with fantasy layouts，others recreating railroads they've read about or knew from childhood．These setups often run like the real thing，moving on timetables with scale goods being delivered logically to scale markets．
Model trains come in several sizes or scales，and many collectors start small and work their way up．Keith Lewis，for example，started with a train set his parents gave him one Christmas．He worked with HO scale for a while，but then saw a G•scale set that made him sell all his other trains and start again．Like most hobbyists，Keith won't buy an engine or car if he can't display it as well as run it．
Once you start down this track，it can become a lifelong interest，notes Elwood．"You never want to finish，"he says．"There's always something you want to do next．"

24．Why did Elwood build a 24-by-48-foot train room？A
A．To put in large-scale model trains．
B．To put in more model trains．
C．To take up a hobby after retirement．
D．To put in his first model trains．
25．What can we learn about the majority of model railroaders？B
A．They are full of curiosity．
B．They are full of creativity．
C．They are good at observing things．
D．They are good at changing things．
26．Why did Keith work with a G-scale train set？D
A．To run a better engine．    
B．To make some money．
C．To make his train set better．
D．To make his train set larger．
27．What does the text mainly talk about？A
A．Model train hobbyists．    
B．The types of model trains．
C．The sizes of model trains．
D．The development of model tram's．

Snowblind--it's a frightening word．Thankfully，it's a condition that is totally preventable．
Snow blindness is a painful，temporary loss of vision due to overexposure to the sun's UV rays．Essentially，snow blindness is caused by a sunburned eye．
（36）AThough it is commonly called snow blindness，the condition can （and often does） occur in the absence of snow．
The terms"snowblind"and"snow blindness"have become popular because snow is highly reflective of ultraviolet radiation．（37）E Also，skiing，mountain climbing and snowboarding usually take place at relatively high altitudes，where the sun's UV rays are stronger．Combined，these factors can double your risk of getting sunburned eyes，compared with being outdoors at lower altitudes in the summertime．
（38）GTelevision journalist Anderson Cooper experienced snow-free snow blindness first-hand a few years ago when he spent a couple hours on a boat in Portugal without sunglasses and ended up"blind for 36hours，"according to his report of the incident．
Not only can you become snowblind without snow--it can happen without sunlight，too!（39）DFor example，sun lamps can cause temporary"snow"blindness if proper eye protection is not used．
（40）FTo relieve pain or discomfort from snow blindness，stay indoors and wear sunglasses．Keep your eyes well-moistened with artificial tears．For additional relief，use over-the-counter pain relievers．Be sure to use only pain relievers you know you can take without worry of an allergic reaction．You also may find that placing a cool，dampened washcloth over your closed eyelids is comforting．

A．You don't need snow to become snowblind．
B．It will likely affect those traveling in snowy conditions．
C．To prevent snow blindness on the slopes，wear sunglasses．
D．Sometimes it occurs from man-made sources of ultraviolet radiation
E..In fact，snow can reflect over 80percent of the UV rays that fall upon it．
F．Snow blindness is scary，but usually it's temporary，and there are ways to relieve the discomfort．
G．But water and white sand also are highly reflective of the sun's UV rays，thus increasing the risk．
