   The UK has a well-respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world. 【小题1】
October is usually the busiest month in the college calendar. Universities have something called Freshers' Week for their newcomers.【小题2】
However, having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind, your prospect of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve-wracking(令人头痛的). Where do you start? Who should you make friends with? Which clubs should you join?
【小题3】 So just take it all in slowly. Don't rush into anything that you'll regret for the next three years.
Here is some top advice from past students on how to survive Freshers' Week.
●Learn rules. 【小题4】 Have a few glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends.
●Be kind. Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in making friends.
【小题5】 The more active you are, the more likely you' ll be to meet new people than those who never leave their room.
●Bring a doorstop. Keep your door open when you' re in and that sends positive messages to your neighbors that you' re friendly.
So with a bit of clever planning and effort, Freshers'
Week can give you a great start to your university life and soon you' ll be passing on your experience to next year's new recruits.
A.Be honest.
B.Be sociable.
C.Keep yourself friendly to others.

   Students from Oceanside High School in Rockland will be able to sleep a little longer from this autumn.

The superintendent (负责人) of Regional School Unit 13 Lew Collins said during the school’s Thursday night meeting that the schedule (时刻表) for the schools will be changed. Oceanside East and West will start half an hour later, at 8 a. m. for the new school year.

Research has shown that teenagers’ brains are often not fully awake at 6: 30 a. m. Collins said the schedule, which is used to get students to go to school for classes that begin at 7: 30 a. m., calls for some to get on buses before 6 a. m. to get to school on time. Teachers are having meetings at 6: 40 a. m., which is too early, he thinks.

Collins visited the high schools in Rockland and asked students when they would like classes to begin. Most of them said 8 a. m. "I was surprised. I thought they would have said 9:00 or 10:00, "he said.

The National Sleep Foundation says on its website that teenagers’ biological clocks (生物钟) are designed to stay up later and get up later. The Foundation calls for schools to change their schedules, which mean a later start for elementary students (小学生) as well.

"We do not have enough buses to run, because all the high school and elementary school buses run almost at the same time," Collins said. He suggested, "We should buy six more buses and get six more drivers to keep the new schedule working."

Elementary school classes in Rockland now start at 8: 30 a. m., but they will be moved to 8:45 a. m, starting in the autumn. "I know this is a problem for working parents, but we will see what we can come up with," said Jane Brown, a teacher at Bardonia Elementary School. "Anyway, I believe if students get more sleep they’ll be more ready to learn when classes start," she added.

【小题1】A new schedule will be made to __________.
A.add more interesting subjects
B.help students do better in class
C.ask parents to learn about schools
D.cut the number of meetings down
【小题2】One of the problems the schools are faced with in Rockland is that they will __________.
A.be afraid of working parents’ disagreement
B.be worried about children’s safety
C.be short of school buses
D.be short of teachers
【小题3】What does Jane Brown think of the new schedule?
A.She is not certain about it.
B.She is not interested in it.
C.She is worried about it.
D.She is hopeful about it.
