Student Services

Students' Union

Every University has a Students' Union. If students are the lifeblood of a university, the Union is surely its beating heart.

For students, by students

A Students’ Union is run by students and acts independently. At the end of each academic year, it will find six students to hold a sabbatical（帶有休假的） position managing the Union for the coming year. That the six successful sabbatical officers have only recently experienced issues affecting students ensures that your needs are very well understood.

Letting your hair down

Although the University is spread across a fairly wide area, the Union is centrally located and is only a short walk from any of the main buildings. This makes it very easy to catch up with friends who might be on a different course.

At night, the place really comes alive – we have three different bars to suit every occasion. The venues are student-only so you can be sure of meeting people with a similar outlook and we throw in a transport service to make sure you get home safely.

The Union also organizes various formal balls throughout the year, with the highlight being the end-of-year ball.

Supporting you

Beyond having fun, we also make sure some of the more serious issues are effectively dealt with. If you have a problem with your course, another sabbatical officer is trained to help you. Being independent from the University means we can represent and support you to the best of our ability, and once you reach university you may find that you become aware of more national or political issues.

From the second paragraph of the passage, we can infer that ______.

A. a Students’ Union is operated by the university

B. a Students’ Union is not operated by the university

C. a Students’ Union is operated is working for the university

D. a Students’ Union is affected by the university

The person who takes up a certain post of the Students’ Union ______.

A. learns what the students need

B. is very happy and easy

C. can affect the life of any student

D. has understood everything of the University

According to the third paragraph, we can learn that ______.

A. a Students’ Union is far away from the university

B. a Students’ Union is near to the home

C. a Students’ Union is central part of the university

D. a Students’ Union has different courses for all the students

From the passage, we can learn that ______ is the most wonderful program of every year.

A. making friends

B. dancing in a bar

C. the match of the end-year ball

D. electing the officers

After reading the last two parts, we can infer that _______.

A. the Students’ Union can help a student who has trouble in the study

B. the Students’ Union can help a student who is being trained

C. the Students’ Union can cultivate the ability of a student to be suitable for political position

D. the Students’ Union can support a student to run the University

Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. Parents often give their children an amount of money that they may spend as they wish. The purpose is to let the children learn from experience at an early age when financial mistakes are not very costly.
A child may receive an allowance each week or each month. The amount is not so important.  But parents should make clear what the child is expected to pay for with the money.
At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents should not offer more money until the next allowance is to be given.
Older children may be responsible enough to budget larger costs like those for clothing. The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving.
Many people who have written on the subject say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do extra work around the home, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.
Allowances give children a chance to experience three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving it to organizations. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.
Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer free savings accounts for young people with small amounts of money.
【小題1】The functions of allowances given to children are the following EXCEPT ______.

A．they can save more money for their future business
B．they can give them to charities
C．they may spend them on what they like
D．they can learn to deal with money
【小題2】The underlined word "sacrifice" in the last paragraph means "_____".
A．犧牲B．計劃C．選擇D．放棄
【小題3】What's the main idea of the passage?
A．Children should save part of their allowance.
B．Don’t pay your child for work around the home.
C．Allowance helps teach children early about money.
D． Parents should allow children to spend money as they wish.
【小題4】How many advantages of saving has the passage mentioned?
A．2 B．3 C．4D．5
【小題5】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? 
A．Children are advised to buy anything they wish to with the allowance.
B．Parents should offer children more money if they spend all of their allowance soon after they get it.
C．It can be useful to pay children to do extra work around the home.

科目：高中英語 來源：2013屆安徽省亳州市高三摸底聯(lián)考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

It has been argued that an infant under three who is cared for outside the home may suffer because of the separation from his parents．The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby believes that separation from the parents during the sensitive "attachment" period from birth to three may scar （留下疤痕） a child's personality and incline to emotional problems in later life．Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlby's work that children should not be sent to day care before the age of three, and many people do believe this．But there are also arguments against such a strong conclusion．

Firstly, anthropologists （人類學家） point out that the hidden love between children and parents found in modem societies does not usually exist in traditional societies．For example, we saw earlier that among the Ngonis the father and mother of a child did not raise their infant alone．But traditional societies are so different from modern societies that comparisons based on just one factor are hard to understand．

Secondly, common sense tells us that day care would not be so widespread today if parents and caretakers found that children had problems with it．But Bowlby's analysis raises the possibility that early day care has delayed effects．The possibility that such care might lead to more mental illness or crime 15 or 20 years later can only be noticed by the use of statistics．Statistical studies of this kind have not yet been carried out, and even if they were, the results would be certain to be complicated and controversial．

Thirdly, in the last decade, there have been a number of careful American studies of children in day care, and they have reported that day care had a neutral of slightly positive effect on children's development．But tests that have had to be used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the issue．

1.This passage is mainly talking about________．

    A．children's personality                     

B．advantages of infants' early care

    C．infants' education                    

D．negative effect of infant school

2.The phrase "day care   in the first paragraph probably means_____.

    A．nursing school                          B．baby-sitter

    C．boarding school                         D．primary school

3.According to Bowlby, children under the age of three______．

    A．should not be sent to school

    B．should be cared for outside the home

    C．will not suffer fro m parental separation

    D．don't mind who will look after them

4.The argument against Bowlby's conclusion shows that___．

    A．children have problems with day care

    B．there is no negative effect on infants who go to school before three

    C．there is a long-term effect on infants who go to school before three

    D．children who are sent to school before three are sent to mental illness
