If you are a college student, probably you are greatly stressed when the final exams are coming. University students are good at coming up with ways to cope with the stress of college life. But some students at a college in Canada have started a new trend that is family-friendly, opening a puppy room for students during finals week (December 4-6)

The National Post reports that for three days during finals week, students at Dalousie University can spend some time with lovely dogs, which is being brought in by Therapeutic Paws of Canada. “It is something that people need right now because students are superstressed,” Michael Kean, an environmental science student who first proposed the idea, told me the Post.

After the student union first advertised the event on its Face book page, the news of the Puppy Room spread quickly across social networking sites. “Our expectations are pretty high right now,” Gavin Jardine, vice president of student life at Dalhousie told the Post. “We had 1800 shares, thousands of ‘likes’. It attracted a lot of attention on Twitter as well. It spread as quickly as a virus.”

Don LeBlance of Therapeutc Paws of Canada said all the dogs attending the event come from loving homes and enjoy the company of people. A number of different breeds will be on hand to interact with students who sign up to visit the Puppy Room. And buzz from the Dalhousie Puppy Room has spread so quickly that LeBlance says a half dozen universities have already called about staging similar events for their students.

So, is there any actual evidence to support using guest dogs to reduce the stress of busy college students? “If you do any research at all about the benefits of using pets, you will find out quite quickly that it lowers blood pressure,” LeBlanc said. “It certainly made a huge difference in my life when I got a dog.”

1 What is Michael Kean’s attitude toward the puppy room?

A. He thinks it is bad for dogs. B. He doesn’t think it is relaxing.

C. He thinks it is a waste of time. D. He thinks it works for college students.

2 Paragraph 3 shows the idea of the puppy room was___________.

A. surprising B. harmful C. well received D. inspiring

3 We know from Paragraph 4 that some universities want to ____________.

A. find out if their students are also stressed

B. follow the example of the college in Canada

C. find out why dogs are loved by college students

D. introduce some dogs from the college in Canada

4 What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Puppies have become very popular with college students.

B. College students have more ways of relaxing than before.

C. A college is offering more ways of entertainment for students.

D. A college is offering a puppy room for stressed college students.

Teachers say the digital age has had a good influence----- and a not-so-good influence----on this generation of American teenagers. More than 2000 teachers took an online survey. Three-quarters of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a “ mostly positive” effect on their students’ research habits and skills. But 64 percent said the technologies “ do more to distract (使分心) students than to help them academically.” And 87 percent agreed that these technologies are creating an “ easily distracted generation with short attention spans.”

The Pew Internet Project did the survey with the National Writing Project. Judy Buchanan is the vice director of the National Writing Project and a co-author of the report. Ms. Buchanan says digital research tools are helping students learn more and faster. “ Teachers really favor these tools because they are ways to make some of the learning exciting and engaging. Young people favor these tools. The goal is to really help them become creators of meaningful content, and not just sort of consumers.”

But one problem the survey found is that many students lack digital literacy. They trust too much of the information they find on the Internet. Judy says these students haven’t developed the skills to determine the quality of online information. “ It’s something that really has to be taught and paid attention to, because in a world in which things happen quickly, you do need to step back, reflect and analyze the information you have.”

Another problem is blamed on something that might not seem like a problem at all: being able to quickly find information online. Teachers say the result is a reduction in the desire and ability of their students to work hard to find answers. They say students are overly dependent on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books or research libraries.

Many teachers are also concerned that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others instead of using their own abilities.

9 The text mainly tells us ____________.

A. digital tools bring about benefits and problems B. the Internet is playing a key role

C. teachers encourage using digital tools D. all the students use digital tools

10 Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?

A.  B  C  D 

      



(=Para 1, = Para 2, =Para 3, = Para 4, =Para 5)

11 The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably means _________.

A. students do not have the right digital tools

B. students do not always have access to the Internet

C. students can’t judge online information properly

D. students haven’t the ability to adjust themselves

12 Some students don’t tend to work hard because ___________.

A. they can copy others’ work without being punished

B. printed books and libraries around aren’t enough

C. the Internet can’t make students concentrate

D. they can get answer on the Internet quickly

People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviour are formed. It is not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competitive.

Social scientists are of course extremely interested in these types of questions. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit ce
