21、There are many things you need to know about attending college in the US that may not be obvious from school websites and brochures. Here are some things to keep in mind before you enroll.

【1】

Courses are among the most important components of college — they’re what you’re paying for, after all. However, a big part of college life is extracurricular activities. 【2】 You can take part in various sports, political groups and even plays on the stage.

Office hours can help you beyond your grades.

Doing well in courses is important, and if you’re planning to stay in the US after graduation, the connections you make in college can be equally as significant. 【3】

Knowing someone who knows someone at the place where you want to work can be very beneficial. This is why it’s important to make connections with your professors. A lot of internships, jobs and graduate schools require academic references.

Curious people don’t mean harm

The continental US is almost the same size as continental Europe. 【5】 Depending where you’re from, you might get some obvious and seemingly insulting questions about your nationality and background. Keep in mind that these questions aren’t meant to harm your feelings.

24、What is a hero? We may think of the fictional characters with supernatural powers or great people who can influence world events. Now, as the nation continues its all-out efforts to fight against the novel coronavirus pneumonia(COVID-19), medical staff have become heroes in the eyes of the public.

As of Feb 19, a total of 32,000 medical staff outside Hubei province have been working to treat patients around the center of the outbreak.

Zhang Dingyu, the president of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, is one of these heroes. Since the hospital received the first seven patients in December, Zhang has been so busy that he barely gets any sleep. Even suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (肌萎缩侧索硬化), the 56-year-old doctor is doing his best to quicken his pace to save precious time for infected patients. “I have to run, racing against time to save more patients from the deadly disease, because I don’t have much time left in my life,” Zhang told Xinhua News Agency.

With the duty of saving lives, many medical professionals like Zhang have been working long hours for days, despite their fear and worries.

Lu Jingjing from Wuhan Children’s Hospital also works at a temporary mobile hospital. She does not let her parents know that she is now working with novel coronavirus-infected patients.

When her parents ask for a video chat, Lu says she is working and lets her husband and children chat with them instead.

“It’s dangerous but we should win the battle with the virus as soon as possible, so that medical staff and patients can go back home,” she told China Daily.

US writer Khalil Gibran (1883-1931) once wrote, “Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but the manifestations of strength and resolution.” It’s true for the medical workers.

Everyone has fear, especially when it comes to deadly diseases. But for medical staff, saving lives comes first and is enough for them to be brave and stay on the front. They may look like ordinary people in daily life, but in these extraordinary times, they are heroes.

【1】What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article?

A．To explain what makes a modern-day hero.

B．To praise medical staff for their efforts to fight the NCP.

C．To describe what measures China has taken to deal with the virus.

D．To show the difficulties faced by medical staff treating NCP patients.

【2】What do we learn from Zhang Dingyu’s words?

A．His illness has turned him into an impatient man.

B．His illness makes him work without fear.

C．He feels sorry for himself because of his illness.

D．He wants to help as many patients as possible.

【3】Why doesn’t Lu Jingjing answer her parents’ video calls?

A．She is too busy and has no time for video chats.

B．She doesn’t want her parents to worry about her.

C．It’s not allowed to make a video call from the hospital.

D．There is no WiFi signal at the temporary mobile hospital.
