It's easy to look back at our university days through rose-colored spectacles, but the truth is that when we first arrived on campus, most of us were forced to step out of our comfort zone. A survey of students at Imperial College London has revealed that three out of four students experience different levels of stress, or a mental health condition.during their time at college. Thesurvey,completed by over a thousand students, also found that70% of students experience stress at least once a week, and 9°o of students feel stressed constantly New students have trouble making new friends Kirsty a student at the University of Exeter, did not enjoy her first days in college She says. "When I first went touniversity, I realized that I'd forgotten how to make friends. I'd been with the same school friends for seven years." For students like Kirsty, joining a society ar social club would be a good choice for a way out. They could share thoughts and stories by connecting with peers. Dr.Ruth Caleb of the counseling service at Brund University London has some tips that should make life easier for students before they set off for university.She says that it would be very helpful for students to develop practical life skills like cooking. washing. and cleaning.Caleb also mentions that budgeting is essential in university life as well as leaming how to spend time comfortably on their own.

5.Which of the following advice is NOT given by Dr.Ruth Caleb?

Human languages are extremely complex, and linguists have long thought it would be impossible to teach a machine how to analyze speech sounds and word structures in the way human investigators do. However, researchers have taken a step in this direction. They have demonstrated an artificial intelligence system that can lear the rules and patters of human languages on its own.When given words and examples of how those words change to express different grammatical functions, such as tense or gender, in one language, this machine-leaming model comes up with rules that explain why the forms of those words change For instance, it might learn that the letter "a" must be added to the end of a word to make the masculine(阳性的)form feminine(阴性的) in some languages This model can also automatically learn higher-level language patterns that can apply to many languages, enabling it to achieve better results.The researchers trained and tested the model using problems from linguistics textbooks that featured 58 different languages.Each problem had a set of words and corresponding word-form changes. The model was able to come up with a correct set of rules to describe those word-forn changes for 60 percent of the problems This system could be used to study language by finding patterns in how different languages change words.It is especially unique because the system discovers models that can be readily understood by humans.It can do this even with just a small amount of data. such as a few dozen words Instead of using one massive dataset for a single task, the system looks at many smaller datasets,which is similar to how scientists propose hypotheses - they look at multiple related datasets and find common pattems. Kevin Ellis, an assistant professor of computer science at Comell University,mentioned that they wanted to explore the possibility of building a system that can leam from a diverse range of interrelated datasets, to make the system leam a little bit about how to better model each one.

5.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?

You know the feeling - your ears start to warm up. your tongue goes numb. and you start sweating and taking deep breaths. You've just eaten something spicy.Despite knowing it would be painful. you chose to do it anyway. Are humans gaining pleasure from pain and suffering. or is there something else going on? The answer lies in both science and history.Let's start with the science. Unlike the basic tastes of salty, sweet, sour, and bitter, spicy is not a taste but rather a sensation. This sensation is triggered by a chemical compound found in chilipeppers called "capsaicin"(辣椒素).When we eat foods containing capsaicin, our bodies are tricked into thinking the temperature is actually rising.In trying to temper the buring sensation, our bodies release endorphins(内啡肽)which control pain and, at the same time, give a feeling of pleasure.This is what is happening chemically, but there is also a conscious side of choosing spicy food Dr.Tam ara Rosenbaum,a cognitive neuroscientist at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, explains that this is because we are rational beings - we know that the buming sensation of chilidoes not physically harm us Furthermore:we derive pleasure from the other ingredients chili is generally cooked and eaten with -including fat,sugar; and salt. So similar to skydiving.eating chili is a form of thrill-seeking. where we get pleasure from a seemingly negative sensation Humans' relationship with capsaicin has been a long one. starting in the Andes of South America.where chili peppers originate Archaeological evidence suggests that humans were among the few mammals to develop a taste for capsaicin.leading to the cultivation of chili peppers around six thousand years ago.Human interventionchanged the chili pepper to suit human tastes and needs-including the peppar's color, size, and cpsaicin content - helping to explain the many different types of chili peppers now available. Chili is a key ingredient in traditional dishes in many cultures. Maybe we are gaining pleasure from pain and suffering after all

5.What contributes to various types of chilipeppers mainly according to the passage?

Strong families are built on a foundation oflove, and love doesn't simply happen. Love takes work - especially when the details of the day-to-day grind seem to crowd out everything else and leave parents short on time and energy."Making memories" is one effective way to create a lasting sense of shared identity and family heritage. Parents can engage in simple activities to create memories and enhance specialoccasions with their children.When schedules are jammed with activities, it's easy to overlook life's little pleasures. But if parents take the time to notice those pleasures, they will realize that they've already taken a huge step toward establishing meaningful and lifelong relationships with their childrenThere are several proven ideas that have helped many families create lastingmemories. One significant idea is to give the gift of time. Parents could scheduleone-on-one time with each of their children and consider these "dates" as important as any other commitment on their calendar.Even when running errands.parents can take a child along and engage in conversations about their interests, whether it's a favorite game, book, sport, or an intriguing subject from school.Another way to build memories is through writing.Making generous use of pen and paper can recordthoughts, hopes and dreams for children in letters and joumals.Letters can be written for special occasions, such as the first day of school, a graduation ceremony, a special birthday or to celebrate a success or to offer consolation(安慰)after a disappointment Planning significant family vacations will surely make memories.If family loves history, a museum tour will be a good choice on weekends. If parents don't have enough time. they can still have a great time by setting up a tent and camping out in the backyard Whatever parents do. never let the years pass without creating some memorable moments the children will cherish and perhaps pass on to their own kids someday
