A

Imagine yourself on the other side of the college admissions desk. It?s not so glorious, apparently. At the very least, you need to be good-natured. Joseph Connolly, a guidance counselor at New Oxford High School in the United States, wanted to know the things that annoy admissions officers the most. He sent out a request to members of the National Association for College Admissions Counselors and received hundreds of responses. Apparently, college admissions officers were waiting for an opportunity to unload their frustrations. The responses fall into several areas:

● Communication

-Silly or stupid email addresses; sending emails that use texting shorthand, such as “im w8ing 4 somel 2 call me.”

-Leaving a message with just a first name and no telephone number. For example, “Hi, this is Suzie. Please call me back.”

-Acting distracted during a one-on-one interview; nervous habits like foot-tapping or “um”, “like” and “you know”, which make a bad situation worse.

-Not responding to emails from the admissions office.

● Over-involved parents

-The very common comment from pa rents, “We are in the process of completing applications.”

-Parents attending interviews, and worse yet, speaking for their children.

● Essays

-Not identifying which question they are responding to.

-Writing about something they were great at in the sevent h grade but haven?t pursued since then.

A. To complain about the process of college application.

【名师点睛】

文章主题和中心思想的阐述往往需要大量细节信息的支持，这些细节对于理解全文内容至关重要，同时也是归纳和概括文章中心思想的基础。文章细节的理解可以细化为：（1）一一对应型。答案与题目在表达形式和意义上直接吻合，一一对应，一目了然。属于浅层次的阅读试题，分数比例较少。（2）语言转述型。这是一类间接事实细节题，答案与题目在意义上从分运用了词义之间的转述关系，即正确选项是原文有关词语和句子的另类表达。属于中档难度题，分数比例较大。（3）语意理解型。这是一类深层事实细节理解题，答案与题目之间存在着一定的逻辑联系，这种联系需要建立在事实的基础上通过上、下文来进行判断、分析、归纳和整合，才能得出正确答案。属于较高难度的事实细节题。（4）是非辨别型。这是一类综合事实细节题，出题形式常常是“三正一误”(三项正确，只有一项不符合原文内容)或“三误一正”（三项错误，只

有一项符合原文内容)。（5）事实排序型。这是一类运用多项事实进行排序的事实细节题，要求根据动作发生的先后顺序、时间顺序或者句子之间的逻辑关系，找出时间发生，发展的正确顺序。例如小题3

You may think that the story of Pygmalion (《卖花女》, 1913) --- in which people are judged by the way they talk --- is something that only existed in the days of British high society. But thanks to etiquette (礼仪) expert and author William Hanson, we realize that little has changed during the past 100 years.

In a BBC radio program, Hanson released a list of common words used in British English that could reveal whether a person is “common” or “fashionable”.

And yet here comes the interesting part: While some of us might go through life using fancy words, dressing in ways that make us appear more well-off than we really are, there are wealthy people in the world who try to hide their riches because they want to be seen as “normal” instead of “showy”.

Beatrice, for example, is a New Yorker who inherited (继承) millions of dollars. She told The New York Times that she has a habit of removing the price tags (价签) from her clothes so her house staff don?t see them and feel uncomfortable.

“We don?t want that …Wow?.” said Scott, also a New Yorker, who had just inherited over $50 million. “We?re just not the type of people who wear it on our sleeve.”

4. What does William Hanson find?

A. People failed to judge others? manner.

B. People judge others by their way of talking.

C. People tend to use more polite words.

D. People meet impolite persons frequently.

5. What do rich people prefer to do?

A. To hide their riches

B. To earn more money.
