All parents wish their children, especially senior high students, can go to top universities and have a bright future．So they always expects their children to make fully use of their time to study．They don’t allow them watch TV, play computer games or go out to play with their friends．Some students just complained that their parents are only concerned about their grades and not their other need．

To my opinion, how our parents are doing is out of nothing but the love．The most important thing, I think, is that they should learn to communicate with our parents, telling them that we’ll never let them down and will work harder to earn trust and respect from them．

Ever since I started my freshman year in another state, I’ve realized that people make many assumptions about college students, many of which are based on partying. Even my sociology professor jokingly told our class: “If your motto isn’t ‘I am partying therefore I am,’ you’re college-ing wrong.”

Whenever I say partying isn’t fun, I get the same response: wide-eyed stares, dropped jaws and a resounding “Seriously?”, which makes me feel like I’m being judged.

Don’t get me wrong – I’ve tried to enjoy dancing in hot, crowded spaces to loud rap music. But at last, I’ve always escaped to an empty corner while trying to ignore rude, crazy people. I wondered if I was weird for wanting to stay in on a Friday night to read a book. I even questioned whether or not I was living the “authentic(真正的)” college experience.

“Maybe you – a shy boy – just need to go out more.” Friends have said. Suggestions like these make me think about food. Have you ever tasted something that someone else really likes and you don’t? When that happens to me, I have a habit of eating more hoping that it will eventually taste good. Does that ever work? No.

For me, partying is a lot like that. From what I can tell, I’m just not a fan. I’m not trying to set myself apart – I just have a different definition of fun.

As you begin to think about your present college life, I hope this helps you realize that there isn’t just one way to experience college life. Some turn up at a party to relax. I turn to a good book. Which option have you made in college? And remember: college is a place where you can keep yourself originally. It means not going with the flow and means figuring out what you want for yourself, originating your own values and thinking a way towards your future success.

1.What should college life be like in most people’s opinion?

A. Making assumptions is part of college life.

B. Everyone will do something wrong in college.

C. College students are involved in partying.

D. College professors seldom joke college students.

2.What does the author think of college parties?

A. Comfortable. B. Boring.

C. Unavoidable. D. Exciting.

3.The author talks about food in the fourth paragraph because _________.

A. he likes eating tasty food at parties.

B. there is much food at college parties.

C. he wants to compare food to parties.

D. he is really a food fan.

4.What is the author’s purpose to write this passage?

A. To remind college students of what college means.

B. To introduce what subject students can learn in college.

C. To share some good choices most college students have made.

D. To show his strong support to the present college life.

This is the first time that I had been away from home, so I find it hard to live here. How I wish I can turn to Lucy, who once gave me much help! I had trouble with my study in Grade 9. So frustrating was I that I began to play computer games after school, when I should have paid more attention to catching up with others. Beside, I was even caught cheating in the exam, it worried my parents a lot. When asking about the reason why I fell far behind, I was too guilty to say a word. It was then Lucy came to my help, telling me not to give up. To my amazement, I made a great progress. Finally, I even became one of the top student in my class. I must say thanks to Lucy, without whose help, I could never have had so good grades.
