Hey there,
So you’re about to spend four years of your life and tens of dollars of your parents’ money, and all you really know about college is that all of your friends are going. Do you ever stop to wonder why you’re going?
Relax. You’re making the right decision. First of all, you’ll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects. For example, it’s hard to decide if you want to be a painter if you’ve never painted any pictures; once you’re in a drawing-room on campus, you’ll know one way or the other. College is also a lot of fun — after you graduate, you’ll be working every weekday for 50 or so years. And remember that college graduate earn about twice the income of those who never attended college.
Finding the right college can be difficult. Fortunately, Johnson Review is here to help you every step of the way.
* Researching Schools. To us. the most important decision you’ll make is to choose the school that really fits you best — not the once that is the most competitive(有竞争力的)or has the best-equipped rooms.
* Applying to School. On JohnsonReview.com. you’ll find hundreds of actual college application(申请)and links to many more.
* Raising Your Scores. American College Test is one of the most difficult parts of the admission(录取)course. It’s not the most important, though, and not everyone needs to prepare for the best. But, if you can do better, find the right course for better scores.
*Paying for School. Most families need financial aid for the high cost of college. The problem is that financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college rather than learning the ways to get financial aid. If you really do your research, you’ll learn that you can afford to attend any college, no matter the cost.

Seeing may be believing,but hearing a sound first may help your sense of sight,according to results of a new study.
Researchers at the University of California of San Diego report that people were more accurate at noticing a flash of light when a sound was produced at the same place immediately before the light flashed.
“We used a loud sound to catch our participants’(受试者)attention” one of the study’s authors, Dr McDonald, said in an article. During some experiments, the sound occurred at the same location as the flash of light,while at other times it was produced on the opposite side of participants’ field of sight. The 33 participants in the study were more accurate at noticing the flash of light when the sound occurred on the same side,suggesting that sound can help direct visual(视觉的)attention.
According to McDonald, his research team plans to continue studying the relationship between sight and sound. It will be interesting to see, he said,what happens to the ability to pay attention when one of the sense does not work as well as it should,as in a person who is blind of has hearing problems.
McDonald also noted that research into the relationship between sight and sound could affect the way we 1ook at peop1e with attention disorder. Traditionally,these people together are considered to have attention prob1em,but in some people the problem may be caused by hearing or sight deficits(缺陷).
“ It could be possible that they cou1d have a deficit in one sense or another,or in relating sight and sound together,” McDonald said. Research into this area may lead to better treatment for people who have a hard time paying attention. It may be a good idea to take into consideration the relationship between sound and sight when designing warning signals,such as for an airplane pilot. By saying “ Seeing may be believing” ,the writer is suggesting that .
A.there is a relationship between hearing and seeing |

A.to deal with people’s hearing problems |
B.to improve pilots’ attention during flight |
C.people with hearing or sight deficits can improve their attention |
D.hearing or sight deficits affect people’s ability to pay attention |
McDonald believes that the study of the relationship between sight and sound will .
A.have practical values for medical doctors and pilots |
B.help change the well-being of medical doctors |
C.prevent people from having hearing or sight problem |
D.help to improve people’s eyesight |
Which is the best title for the passage?

Compulsive(狂热的) shoppers may have a new psychological excuse to blame for their shopping. Psychologists at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand are studying the “shop-till-you-drop” habit as a behavioral disorder similar to compulsive eating. Compulsive shoppers frequently buy more than they can afford or more than they need, and it causes them anxiousness.
“ It becomes a problem when you are out of control,” psychology lecturer Neville Blampied said. “ When you are feeling bad and blue, what do you do? Some people eat chocolate cake and ice cream. Some people take the credit card and go out to the shop.” Bank managers understand the problem because they have to deal with people who have to be persuaded to stop using their cards drawing money.
An advertisement in a Christchurch paper, calling for people to take part in an experimental treatment program designed by Mr. Wilson, attracted 10 replies. But the problem, said Mr. Wilson, is “clearly not rare.” He thinks that compulsive shopping should be treated with drugs. “As psychologists We are interested in non-drug treatments for behavioral difficulties,” Mr. Wilson said.
Compulsive eaters or shoppers get a kick from their habit. “ Both activities provide an immediate kind of kick and you feel a bit better,” he said. “ You have long-term problems, but human beings are extremely good at not seeing long-term problem and are very sensitive to short-term benefits,” he said.
The aim of the treatments was to help people find better ways of managing their emotions. The program, consisting of 10 one-hour weekly lessons and two follow-up treatments, is loosely based on teaching stress management.
“ You often have to start to get people to correctly recognize their emotions. Not being able to know what you really feel weakens your ability to solve the problems.” Mr. Wilson said.What is this article mostly about?

Happiness, rather than working hard, is the key to success, according to research published yesterday. Cheerfu1 peop1e are more 1ikely to try new things and challenge(wk战)themselves, which strengthens their good emotion and leads to success in work,good relationships and strong health,say psychologists(心理学家).
The findings suggest that happiness is not a “ feel-good” luxury(奢侈品),but is necessary for people’s well-being. What is more, happiness can also reach an entire nation,with people in” happy” nations being more likely to help others.
The link between happiness and success was studied by a team from the University of California Riverside,led by Professor Sonja Lyubomirsky.
First, they examined questionnaires that ask peop1e about their 1ives. “ For example, they show that happy people are likely to earn higher incomes” said Lyubomirsky. Having established the link,they wanted to discover the cause.
“Almost always it has been taken for granted that things that connect closely to happiness are the causes of happiness,but it could be just the opposite that those things are likely to be caused by happiness,” said Professor Ed Diener from the University of Illinois,another author on the paper.
“ There was strong evidence that happiness leads people to be more sociable,more generous and more productive at work,to make more money,and to have stronger immune(免疫)systems,”said Lyubomirsky.
The research shows that while success can put a spring in someone’s step,peop1e need happiness in the first place to achieve success.
According to the study, around 4 out of 5 people in modern industrialized nations arc happy at any one time.
Success was not just about earning lots of money. “ We describe success as having the things that culture or society values,whether it be friends,close family, money and income,or long life,”said Diener.
However,sorrowful people arc not predetermined to lead a life of failure.In this passage,which of the following viewpoints does Professor Lyubomirsky state?
A.People in less happy countries are more likely to help others. |
B.Things connected to happiness are brought about by happiness. |
C.Happiness results in richer and healthier people. |
D.Success means possessing things that a cu1ture or society thinks highly of. |
The underlined phrase “ put a spring in someone’s step” means .
A.put you in good spirits | B.put spring water on your feet |
C.have a pleasant walk in spring | D.step into a cheerful spring |
According to the passage,which of the following is true?
A.People arc happy because they earn more money. |
B.People earn more money because they are happy. |
C.Working hard is important for being successful. |
D.We can do whatever we like as 1ong as we feel happy. |
We can infer from the passage that .
A.fee1ing good is a cause and not an effect of achievement |
B.our life would be a failure if we were not happy |
C.happiness is just a personal problem |
D.being successful mainly means being wealthy |
