Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: You might think that Western students are less shy when it comes to mingling with the opposite sex, but the truth is that pupils in the UK can feel just as awkward. Britons are actually quite reserved and being at university can make them feel out of their comfort zone. Everyone finds it difficult to talk to the other gender on campus. However, there is a way of dealing with this shyness in Britain, and it is called "Freshers Week". Freshers Week is designed to help people socialize and lose their inhibitions(; ). It is a one-week long party for first year students to welcome them before lectures and coursework begin. I remember my first week at university - it was terrifying. I looked at the schedule for Freshers Week and was amazed at how much was planned. Every hall of residence organizes its own events to help students become friends with the people they live with. My hall was called "Goldney Hall" and the week ahead included a talent show, a comedy night, and themed parties, including one for which we had to dress up as golfers. The first event I went to was a school kids party at which everyone dressed up as if they were in school. This party encouraged me to talk to all the people on my floor. One boy, who lived opposite my room, was very handsome and I felt nervous speaking to him at first. But when we met at the party dressed in silly school outfits, I remember feeling a lot more relaxed speaking to him. It sounds strange, but drinking and dressing up seems to be how Britons overcome their shyness at university. My Freshers Week was hectic, but I managed to forget how scared I was. One thing's for sure: nothing helps you lose your inhibitions(; ) quite like dressing up as a golfer - complete with a golf club, checked hat and tweed jacket! Question: In Britain, universities organize the "Freshers Week"to _ . - help the first year students to get rid of the shyness. - help the first year students to know about the campus. - intruduce the teachers to the first year students. - help the first year students to adapt to the campus life as soon as possible.
help the first year students to get rid of the shyness.

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: If I had known the following things when I was in high school, my life would have been 100% easier back then and probably would have helped me greatly. I realized some of these things I was told but being young and ignorant I refused to listen. 1.Your high school sweetheart will probably not be your spouse. When I was in school, I thought my boyfriend and I were the "one and only true love". Honestly as most young people do, statistically only like 2% of people end up marrying their high school sweethearts and even if they do they probably won't be as happy as they were in high school. Being an adult is very stressful and your relationships become different. 2. _ How many kids play sports per year? How many kids are good enough to get a scholarship by playing sports? How many of them even make it to the Olympics after college or university? The kids who actually stay at home and focus on getting good at computers or math are the ones who make the most in the adult world financially. 3. It doesn't matter what university you go to. I was convinced I was going to go to a great art school when I graduated and I was so stressed out about it that I ended up dropping out of school. In reality my life wasn't over; I only got my GED a year ago but I am in a decent school now. In the real world when you go to apply somewhere all they care about is "do you have a degree or a certification"? 4. Your friends probably won't be your friends after you graduate. I really thought I was going to get an apartment with my friends and our kids were going to grow up together. The truth is, when people grow up they move, have kids, get married, and therefore change. You will change; you will not be the same person you were. High school is just a transitional period of your life. So don't worry about who is saying what about you or who is making fun of whom. Question: Which of the following statements is FALSE? - The writer had never heard about the advice above in high school. - In real world employers don't care so much about which school you graduated from. - Relationships in high school won't have great effect on your later life. - It's not easy to earn scholarships by playing sports for high school students.
The writer had never heard about the advice above in high school.
