“Confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable traits (特点) in the Americans.They show confidence in the way they talk,the way they smile,the way they dress and the way they walk.Living and competing with all these confident American students,I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and a foreign instructor.As a student,being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind.Don’t mind if it sounds simple or silly.Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all.What’s worse,the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue—this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive.
Being confident for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it.Pretending to understand what you actually do not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace.But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their speeches (The course I’m teaching here is Public Speaking).Modesty is a trait highly valued in China,but it won’t be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program.
1.To compete with American students it’s very important to________.
A.be quite confident
B.be polite and friendly
C.have more discussions with them
D.understand what they think about
2.A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who________.
A.gives a silly or simple answer
B.tries to seize any chance to speak in class
C.shows no interest in the course
D.is considered to have no opinion of his own
3.The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if________.
A.he asks a student to repeat what he has said
B.the students bargain with him
C.he pretends to know what he doesn’t
D.he has to give a speech
4.The passage is mainly developed by________.
A.providing examples
B.making comparisons
C.giving different figures
D.telling personal experiences

Butterfly gardens can be grown throughout the United States.There is a wide variety of both butterflyattracting (nectar) plants and host plants covering climate zones throughout the country.Butterfly gardens can range
in size from a few containers placed in a sunny spot to several acres.
Nectarproducing (产蜜的) plants will attract butterflies to your garden.In order to support a full butterfly life cycle,host plants (for laying eggs and used as a caterpillar food source) must also be present.
Throughout the country,the general requirements
for butterfly gardening are the same:full sun,nectar source plants,larval (幼虫的)
host plants,a pesticidefree environment,and knowledge of the local butterfly
species.Many butterflyattracting plants are natives and require little attention,as they are naturally adapted to the region in which they live.
Butterfly gardens are best planted in spring with younger plants or in fall with mature plants that will become dormant quickly and reemerge in
spring.It is best not to plant in the heat of summer or the cold of winter.
One of the most common mistakes in butterfly gardening is planting only one nectar source.Adult butterflies have a very short lifespan.Planting a variety of nectar sources will encourage more butterflies to visit the garden.Planting an adequate supply of host plants gives butterflies a place to lay their eggs,which will successfully hatch (孵化) and result in butterflies that will continue to visit the garden.
Butterflies typically lay their eggs in late spring and hatch 3-6 days after they are laid.It takes 3-4 weeks for a caterpillar to pupate (化蛹) and 9-14 days to emerge as an adult.
Good resources for learning more about butterfly gardening include zoos,botanical gardens,butterfly houses,garden centers and nurseries,libraries and the Internet.There are many good websites dedicated to butterflies and butterfly gardening.
5.Which of the following is true,according to the passage?
A.Butterfly gardens can be grown only in some parts of the US.
B.Butterfly gardens must be large in size. C.Butterfly gardens should be in a sunny place.
D.Butterfly gardens need to plant butterflyattracting plants only.
6.Native butterflyattracting plants are better because________.
A.they smell better to butterflies
B.they can adapt to the local region
C.they can grow faster and tallerD.they can be planted in a container
7.Which seasons are suitable for planting butterfly gardens?
A.Spring and summer.
B.Summer and fall.
C.Summer and winter.
D.Spring and fall.
8.Which of the following is the correct order of a butterfly life cycle?
a.It is born as an egg.
b.It emerges as an adult.
c.A caterpillar hatches out.
d.A caterpillar pupates.
A.acdb
B.adcb
C.dacb
D.dcab
