It39。s not so glorious, apparently. At the very least, you need to be goodnatured. Joseph Connolly, a guidance counselor at New Oxford High School in the United States, wanted to know the things that annoy admissions officers the most. He sent out a request to members of the National Association for College Admissions Counselors and received hundreds of responses. Apparently, college admissions officers were waiting for an opportunity to unload their frustrations. The responses fall into several areas: Communication Silly or stupid addresses。 sending s that use texting shorthand, such as im w8ing 4 some1 2 call me. Leaving a message with just a first name and no telephone number. For example, Hi, this is Suzie. Please call me back. Acting distracted during a oneonone interview。 nervous habits like foottapping or um, like and you know, which make a bad situation worse. Not responding to s from the admissions office. Overinvolved parents The very mon ment from parents, We are in the process of pleting applications. Parents attending interviews, and worse yet, speaking for their children. Essays Not identifying which question they are responding to. Writing about something they were great at in the seventh grade but haven39。t pursued since then.（1）What is the purpose of the text? A.To plain about the process of college application.B.To provide tips for college students in achieving high grades.C.To list unwele behaviors in college application.D.To prove that admission officers are under great pressure.（2）Which behavior may leave admission consolers a bad impression? A.To use inappropriate and inplete language.B.To leave a plete telephone number.C.To focus on the interview and stay calm.D.To reply to s quickly.（3）What should parents avoid doing in an interview?

As global warming speeds up the heat and climatic events increase, many plants may be unable to cope. But at least one species of eucalyptus tree can resist extreme heat by continuing to “sweat” when other essential processes stop, a new study finds. As plants change sunlight into food, or photosynthesize (光合作用), they absorb carbon dioxide through pores on their leaves. These pores also release water via transpiration(蒸騰), which circulates nutrients through the plant and helps cool it by evaporation(蒸發(fā)). But exceptionally high temperatures are known to greatly reduce photosynthesis—and most existing plant models suggest this should also decrease transpiration, leaving trees in danger of fatally overheating. Because it is difficult for scientists to control and vary trees39。 conditions in their natural environment, little is known about how individual species handle this situation. Ecologist John Drake of the . College of Environmental Science and Forestry and his colleagues grew a dozen Parramatta red gum (Eucalyptus parramattensis) trees in large, climatecontrolled plastic pods that separated the trees from the surrounding forest for a year in Richmond, Australia. Six of the trees were grown at surrounding air temperatures and six at temperatures three degrees Celsius higher. The researchers withheld (扣留) water from the surface soil of all 12 trees for a month to imitate a mild dry spell, then induced a fourday “extreme” heat wave: They raised the maximum temperatures in half of the pods（three with surrounding temperatures and three of the warmer ones）— to 44 degrees ℃. Photosynthesis ground to a near halt in the trees facing the artificial heat wave. But to the researchers39。 surprise, these trees continued to transpire at closetonormal levels, effectively cooling themselves and their surroundings. The trees grown in warmer conditions coped just as well as the others, and photosynthesis rates bounced back to normal after the heat wave passed, Drake and his colleagues reported online in Global Change Biology. The researchers think the Parramatta red gums were able to effectively sweat — even without photosynthesis — because they are particularly good at tapping into water deep in the soil. But if a heat wave and a severe drought (干旱) were to hit at the same time and the groundwater was exhausted, the trees may not be so lucky, Drake says. Other scientists call the finding encouraging. “It39。s
