Stanford University
1. Stanford University, famous as one of northern California's several institutions of higher learning, is sometimes called "the Harvard of the West." The closeness of Stanford to San Francisco, a city thirty-two miles to the north, gives the university a decidedly cosmopolitan ( 世界性的 ) flavor.
2. The students are enrolled mainly from the western United States. But most of the fifty states send students to Stanford, and many foreign students study here, as well. And standards for admission remain high Young men and women are selected to enter the university from the upper fifteen percent of their high school classes.
3. Not only because of the high caliber ( 素質 ) of its students but also because of the desirable location and climate, Stanford has attracted to its faculty some of the world's most respected scholars. The university staff has included many Nobel prize winners such as Dr. Felix Bloch, Dr. Robert Hofstadter, and Dr. William Shockley in physics; Dr. Author Kornberg and Dr. Joshua Lederberg in medicine; and Dr. Paul J. Flory and Dr. Linus Panling in chemistry. The Russian novelist Aleksandr Solzhenistsyn has been in residence. Stanford's undergraduate school of engineering and its graduate ols of business, law, and medicine are especially well-regarded.
4. What is student life like on "The Farm" ? Culturally, the campus is a magnet for both students and citizens of nearby communities. Plays, concerts, and operas are performed in the university's several auditoriums and in its outdoor theater, where graduations are also held. Several film series are presented during the school year. Guest lecturers from public and academic life frequently appear on campus. In the evenings, many students gather to socialize in the Student Union's coffee house ; here the beverages ( 飲料) and the atmosphere both have a decidedly European flavor. For the sports-minded, the Stanford campus offers highly developed athletic facilities. Team spots, swimming, and track and field activity are all very much part of the Stanford picture. So are bicycling and jogging.
5. In addition to financial support from alumni ( 校友 ) , Stanford receives grants from the government and from private philanthropic ( 慈善的 ) foundations. In recent years, government grants have made possible advanced studies in the fields of history, psychology, education, and atomic energy. At present Stanford is carrying out an ambitious building program, financed in part by Stanford Foundation's 25 million grant. Recently added to the campus are a new physics building, new school of business, new graduate school of law, new student union, and undergraduate library.

The Importance of Good Writing
Like fine food, good writing is something we approach with pleasure and enjoy from the first taste to the last. 46 Quite the contrary, just as the cook has to undergo an intensive training, mastering the skills of his trade, the writer must sit at his desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purpose --school work, matters of business, or purely social communication. 47 There are still some remote places in the world where you might find someone to do your business or social writing for you, for a fee. There are a few mangers who are lucky enough to have the service of that rare kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letter writing with no more than a quick note to work from. 48 We have to write school papers, business papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to put words to paper. It would be difficult to count the number of such words, messages, letters, and reports put to the mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figure must be enormous. 49 We want to arouse and hold the interest of readers. We want whatever we write to be read, from first word to last, not thrown into some "letters-to-be-read" file or into a wastepaper basket. 50
A. But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it ourselves.
B. However, the managers may sometimes cause the writers a lot of trouble.
C. Any good writers, like good cooks, do not suddenly appear full-blown ( 成熟的 ) .
D. What is more, everyone who writes expects, or at least hopes, that his writing will be read.
E. This is the reason we bend our efforts toward learning and practicing the skills of interesting, effective writing.
F. You may be sure that the greater the effort, the more effective the writing, and the more rewarding.

How to Do Well in Exams
Do not underestimate ( 低估 ) the power of revision in the days and hours before an examination. The closer you are to the exam, the more chance you have of storing and retaining crucial information. But do not overdo it. 46 An effective daily routine can help you through an exam period, so in the days leading up to your first exam, get into the habit of being up and ready to work by game. It can be a shock to the system after months of working to your own timetable to be mentally alert at that time if you have not prepared for it.
On the day of the exam, have a good breakfast, pack two of everything you need ( pens, pencils, erasers, etc. ) , then make your way to the examination hall in good time. 47
Once in your seat, simply pause for a few seconds and collect your thoughts. Close your eyes and take in a few slow, deep breaths to help you relax. When you turn over the test paper, spend a short period reading through all the instructions and questions, paying particular attention to key verbs such as "discuss" ,
"compare" and "evaluate" 48 It is always wise to allow 10 minutes at the end of the exam to give yourself time to go back over your answers. Once you have selected the questions you wish to tackle, begin by attempting the one you think is your strongest. It will give you more confidence when you see a well-answered question down on paper. Also remember to write clearly, and do not be afraid to express the unexpected : after all, examiners call get very bored marking stereotypical ( 千篇一律的' ) answers.
49 If you do need something else to focus on to help you collect your thoughts, choose a fixture ( 固定設施 ) in the room, such as the ceiling--or anything else that will not allow you to be distracted.
Finally, once you have finished, never hang around outside afterwards to attend the discussion by other students.50
A. Do not arrive too early, though, as other people's anxiety can be contagious (傳染性的) , and you may suffer from undue panic.
B. Try not to be tempted to look at those around you, or at the clock.
C. When you get home, read the examination paper through and look up all the words you didn't understand.
D. Sleep, exercise and relaxation are all just as important.
E. Map out a quick plan of points you wish to make and how much time you should spend on each question.
F. Go and have a well-earned rest-then prepare for your next exam.
