It can be particularly confusing for parents who want to be supportive, but who have no previous experience of the university admissions service. “University has chan ged enormously,” says Andrew Swarbrick, university applications coordinator at the independent Abingdon school, Oxfordshire. “Parents need to remember that it’s different from how it was for them. They need to start with a blank slate.” With that in mind, here’s how you can help your sixth-former to find and apply to a university that’s right for them.B) Most schools will host information days that help parents to prepare. “Go to those sessions if a school is running them,”says Nancy Raynsford, whose daughter is in her first year at Liverpool University. Students should think about where they want to go and what they want to study in year 12, as the application procedure will get underway in the autumn term of year13. But with 37,000 courses to choose from at over 300 institutions, how can you help them to narrow down the options?C) If your sixth-former has a dream career in mind, such as medicine or dentistry, they’ll need a specific degree to achieve it. If they don’t know, admissions tutors advise students to apply for a subject they enjoy or a course they are fascinated by. Make use of the resources available online, such as university league tables and prospectuses（简章）.”I found the UCAS website a mine of information,” says Wendy Pannell. “It’s got all the deadline dates and everything in one place. You can also download apps and use Twitter —I’ve followed UCAS and universities.”D) Parents and sixth-formers should go to open days to get a feel for whata university is like. “We went to about 20 open days,” says Nancy Raynsford. “We sat in lectures and that helped us to understand what it was all about. I was designated as the note-taker so that my daughter could listen. I didn’t ask any questions publicly because that was her job, but my being there gave her confidence. We could talk about it afterwards, and the shared experience of having been there with her meant that we could understand the process as well.” “I went on a couple of visits to universities,” says Barbara Asante, whose dau ghter is now at Sussex University. “It’s important for the parents to go because you know your child and so you can see that a university or a course will suit them.”E) Parents should know important dates in the UCAS calendar and remind their sixth-former of them. All applications are made through UCAS and the final deadline for the majority of courses is January 15. However, most applications are submitted during the autumn term of year 13. It’s recommended that students complete applications as early as possible; although universities must consider every one received by the deadline, many make offers in the autumn.F) Students can apply for up to five courses. Entry for most courses will be determined by predicted A-level results and tariff points. A certain number of tariff points are given for each A-level grade. You can look at tariff tables online to see how many points each grade has. Many schools advise that students have at least one “back-up” option, with lower entry requirements, in case they do not get their predicted grades.G) As well as understanding and guiding your child through the application process, parents can help with the personal statement, which is a chance for students to show their passion for a subject. “Parents can help their son or daughter to begin their personal statement,” says Swarbrick. “Get them to explain what they find interesting and exciting about their subject,” he says, “as well as to say what they’ve done to demonstrate that interest. However, it’s als o important that parents recognize that their son or daughter has to write their personal statement themselves.”H) Parents can also help by being aware of the early deadline. The deadline for Oxbridge and some specific courses, such as medicine and dentistry, is October 15. If your sixth-former is thinking about applying to anyof these subjects or universities they should prepare well in advance. Students may need to take a test or submit written work. They are then shortlisted and could be invited for an interview.If a student is not sure about what subject to learn he will be advised to apply for the subject he is interested in . _ 49 _ 50 .

①More than three dozen billionaires, including well-known philanthropist（慈善家）David Rockefeller, have promised at least half of their fortunes to charity, joining a programme that Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett started in June to encourage other wealthy people to give.②The pledge is currently worth about 150 billion dollars, but the programme predicts it will eventually be worth 600 billion dollars.③"During even the Depression's worst years, my parents gave money—about 8% of their annual income of ＄2, 200," said Lorry Lokey, one of the donors, on the website of the programme, the Giving Pledge. "I remember saying to my mother that we can't afford that. But she said we have to share with others."④The pledge has been a matter of some debate in philanthropic and non-profit circles, with some experts dismissing it as mere publicity and others predicting that it would produce a flood of new money to support non-profit groups.⑤Buffett said the real value of the pledge was found in the example it set and in the sentiments（情感）expressed in the letters posted on the website.⑥Buffett and Gates will hold several dinners later this year to recruit more billionaires, and members of the Giving Pledge will meet annually to discuss their philanthropy.⑦The pair are due to meet some wealthiest people in China next month and India in March.⑧"We hope this catches fire in some other countries," Buffett said. "If they want to take what we think is a good idea and run with it, we will be cheering."⑨Buffett said the number of people who had agreed to sign on was at the high end of his expectations. He said some people who declined to sign the pledge were planning to give away most of their wealth but did not want to draw attention to those plans.⑩Energy tycoon（大亨）Pickens, who is worth about ＄1 billion, said in his Giving Pledge letter: "I've long stated that I enjoy making money, and I enjoy giving it away. I'm not a big fan of inherited wealth. It generally does more harm than good."(1)What's the purpose of the programme started by Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett? A.To spread the idea of charity around the world.B.To publicise the pains and gains of charity work.C.To involve more wealthy people in philanthropy.D.To narrow the gap between the rich and the poor.(2)What message does Lorry Lokey intend to convey through his website posting? A.His family's income is far from large.B.The spirit of giving runs in his family.C.His family suffered during the Great Depression.D.The wealth of his family has come the hard way.(3)Why are Buffett and Gates going to meet some wealthiest people in China and India? A.To share their experience with the newly rich there.B.To publicise their generosity in helping the needy.C.To persuade the wealthy people there to join their ranks.D.To help the billionaires there see the true value of money.(4)What reason do some people give for declining to sign the pledge? A.They are unsure if they can meet the public's expectations.B.They have made plans for disposing of their wealth.C.They are still undecided whether to give or not.D.They are reluctant to be the focus of attention.(5)What does energy tycoon Pickens try to say in his Giving Pledge letter? A.Blessed are those who inherit large fortunes.B.The more you give, the happier you will be.C.Leaving a fortune to one's children is unwise.D.Philanthropy can help free the poor from want.

“Congratulations, Mr. Jones, it’s a girl.” Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different response from every man who hears these words. Some feel proud when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering whether they will be good fathers. Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly of unwillingly. Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the shift from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this resocialization process. Although numerous books have been written about American mothers, only recently has literature （文学） focused on the role of a father. It is argued by some writers that the transition （转化） to the father’s role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the transition the wife must make to the mother’s role. The mother’s role seems to require a complete transformation in daily routine and highly innovative （革新性的） adaptation （适应） , on the other hand , the father’s role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though we mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household. 1 ． According to the author, being a father ________. A ． brings a feeling of excitement to some men B ． makes some men feel proud and others uneasy C ． has a different meaning for those who have daughters D ． means nothing but more responsibilities 2 ． It is stated in the passage that ________. A ． young couples do not like children at all B ． some parents are not prepared to have a child C ． working couples do not have much time to take care of their children D ． many parents look forward to having a boy as their first child 3 ． In the third paragraph, the author ________. A ． criticizes fathers for not taking enough responsibilities in bringing up their children B ． excuses the American writers for ignoring （忽视） the difficulties of being a father C ． supports the idea that the chief role of a father is to earn money for the family D ． complains （抱怨） about the lack or social program to help husbands get used to the role of a father 4 ． The transition to the mother’s role requires that the wife ________. A ． change her life style in a highly innovative way B ． stay at home to take care of the baby C ． make a complete change in her everyday life to deal with the new situation D ． help her husband in his resocialization process 5 ． Some writers argue that with respect to the change of roles, fathers, compared with mothers, ________. A ． have an easier job to do B ． have to make more difficult adaptations C ． have to shoulder more burdens D ． can usually do a better job
