If you’re interested in pushing yourself academically while experiencing college life, our Summer Programs

for Pre-College Students (SPP) can be ideal for you. Our long-running summer term pre-college offerings include a

choice of one-, two-, three-, and six-week programs that prepare you for success in college. With five exciting and

challenging pre-college summer programs to choose from, you can earn college credit, discover a new subject area,

perform cutting-edge research in university labs, or immerse yourself in hands-on learning.

Academic life

SSP invites you to join other highly motivated teens from 87 countries in our summer programs for high

school students — and take the leap into college life and academics. You can take college courses alongside

undergraduates either on campus or online. And you can also earn up to eight college credits by conducting in-

depth STEM research with individual instructors or as part of a group project. Or, you can immerse yourself in a

variety of inspiring noncredit seminars (研讨会) that combine lectures with experiential learning, discussions, and

projects.

Campus/Residence life

Embracing college life is an exciting experience. Whether you live on campus or commute, you’ll get to know

the ins and outs of college and city life. If you live on campus, you will stay in the residence hall, sharing a room

and participating in dorm activities. There are typically two students per room and safety is our highest priority:

residence halls have live-in university staff and 24-hour security. Resident program assistants provide guidance,

coordinate and lead social activities, ranging from group activities that include comedy shows to field trips.

Your hard work will be combined with social events and fun activities — and you’ll still have time for your

own adventures on campus! Email the SPP office at sppoffice@mail.edu.

1. What does SPP aim to do?

A. To help college students to achieve academic success.

To provide admission guidelines for pre-college students.

C. To get high school students well-prepared for college life.

D. To encourage students to participate in hands-on learning.

2. What are students supposed to do to earn the required credits?

A. Attend various seminars. B. Finish the courses online.

C. Carry out STME research. D. Join in experiential learning.

3. What can we know about students living on campus?

A. They can organize social activities.

B. They are provided with good security.

C. They will have access to a single room.

D. They are advised to direct comedy shows.

The kitchen is not just where we prepare meals. In many places, the kitchen is the heart of the home. It’s

where we connect with our family and friends. We have open talks about our pleasures and problems we met during

the day while we make dinner or have a bite to eat. So, it can be a very busy room in the house.

Sometimes you need order in the kitchen for things to run smoothly. And sometimes you need one person to

be in charge. Imagine you are cooking dinner for your friends. As you are making the soup, your friend Sara tastes

it and says, “This needs more salt.” So, she adds more salt. Harlan comes to taste your soup and throws some fresh

black pepper into the pot and some dried herbs. Cecilia tastes the soup and pours in some vinegar. What will the

soup be like?

You are happy to spend time with your friends. But, quite frankly, all their opinions about your soup are

becoming annoying. Worst of all, you taste the soup and it’s awful! And that is where we get the expression “too

many cooks spoil the soup”.

This expression describes an age-old problem: If too many people help to complete a task, it may not go very

well. But, you may think, “If many people are trying to get something done, the task will get done faster.” After all,

American English also has the expression “many hands make light work”.

To answer that point

I will draw your attention to the word “cook”. Now, the cook is the leader in the

kitchen. They may have assistants to help them. But the cook has the final say. So, what if a kitchen has many

cooks? Who is the leader? Everyone! And that’s where the trouble comes.

4. What does the author think of the kitchen according to the first paragraph?

A. It is crowded in many houses. B. It is where we feed our body and soul.

C. It helps to brighten up people’s day. D. It serves as the most useful place in a home.

Why does the author take “your friends” as an example?

A. To describe a common phenomenon (现象).

B. To vividly introduce a saying.

C. To explain a way to be a good cook.

D. To stress the importance of teamwork.

6. Which situation agrees with “too many cooks spoil the soup”?

A. A group of students get a task done together.

B. Some volunteers discuss how to help others.

C. Five designers want their own idea to be accepted.

D. Many retired workers learn how to be a cook.

7. Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A. What Happens with Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen?

B. Should a Cook Be Open to Suggestions?

C. What Could a Cook Do to Everyone’s Satisfaction?

D. Why Will Too Many Cooks Work in the Kitchen?

After bikes and umbrellas are made sharable across China, some companies started eyeing the fitness market,

so shared gym rooms have hit the streets in Beijing.

Unlike common gyms that provide large, open spaces for many members to share at the same time, the newly

built shared gym rooms are small, stand-alone rooms for a person to use, often set up near living communities.

Every four-square-meter room is equipped with a treadmill (跑步机), an air cleaner, a mirror, a television and

an air conditioner, and users can let down the curtains for privacy. When exercising, users can listen to music,

watch movies and check emails by connecting to the Internet by the screen fixed on the treadmill. There’s no

shower or washbasin.

Similar to using a shared bike, users can locate a shared gym room by smartphone application, book a room in

advance and then need to scan a QR code for use. A refundable deposit (保证金) of 99 yuan is required, and users

are charged 1 yuan every 5 minutes.

The shared gym rooms are created by Misspao, a Beijing-based technology company founded in July. Within

several months since it was founded, the company has already raised over 100 million yuan, Yicai Global reports.

The idea of the shared fitness experience is not entirely nascent. Last December, the Shanghai-based technology

company VRUN set up shared treadmills in office and apartment buildings.

The sharing economy is still becoming popular in China. According to Yicai Global, confident investors are

pouring millions into sharing start-ups. In March, the State Information Center published a report which predicts
