Welcome Buddies at Anglia Ruskin University （ARU）

Your Welcome Buddy is here to support you when you start your undergraduate course at ARU.

Whether you're leaving home for the first time ，or are a mature student returning to higher

education ，you may be feeling a mix of emotions ，from excitement to nervousness ，or perhaps worry

about feeling lonely as you won't know anyone yet. Don't worry ，this is perfectly normal and it's why we

have our Welcome Buddy organization–students supporting other students in the transition to ARU.

What does a Welcome Buddy do？

Your Welcome Buddy will get in touch with you when you start at ARU ，taking away those first-day

panic! Once you've started ARU，they will then be in touch to arrange a face to face meet up through video

call or in person，so at least you'll already know one friendly face.

Your Welcome Buddy can share their ARU experience with you and let you know about the amazing

clubs，societies，sports teams and volunteering opportunities that you might want to get involved in. They

will help you settle in，whether that's showing you around campus or the city；directing you to where your

first lecture will be or signposting you to all the fantastic support that's available to you.

How will I be matched with my Welcome Buddy？

Every undergraduate student starting ARU will automatically be matched with one of our current

undergraduate Welcome Buddies in the same department and on the same course.

Postgraduate Research students will be matched to a Welcome Buddy with a similar research area if they

choose to join the organization.

How will my Welcome Buddy contact me？

We will set up on an online designated （指定的） chat space for you and your Welcome Buddy and

you will receive an email notification to your ARU email whenever you get a message on the chat ，so it's

really easy for you to stay in touch. Our brilliant Welcome Buddies will each look after a handful of new

students，who will be added to the same chat space too so you can connect with them as well.

It was a winter afternoon when, rushing to attend the final show of my art school degree, I caught the

heel of my boot on the edge of a pavement. Suddenly, I was flying through the air. If the past two years

studying photography had taught me anything, it was an appreciation of how things can change in a

thousandth of a second. Light, shadow, colours, all are in a constant state of flux （不断的变动）— as is

life. And since crash-landing onto my left shoulder, I have been living through the truth of this wisdom.

That day, doctors diagnosed a cracked bone. It was only the next morning when, instinctively, I tried to

capture some spectacular sunlight streaming into my kitchen, that I had to face the harsh reality: I could no

longer lift my camera, let alone use it. Later that week, a hospital appointment confirmed my worst fear —

the arm needed total rest.

Soon, I became cantankerous and impatient. I couldn't travel, I couldn’t go anywhere much. Surfing

online, I came across the concept of gratitude interventions and their role in boosting mood and wellbeing. A

Californian psychologist, Sonja Lyubomirsky, has pioneered research into using a daily photography practice

as a tool for enhanced gratitude. Her instructions are simple, but not necessarily easy. Take photographs

throughout the day of things that are central to who you are. Take at least five photos a day. Initially , it felt

like a demanding task. But reading how participants assigned to the gratitude interventions had experienced

enhanced positive emotions, I decided to persevere.

Pain forced me to slow down, because capturing a single iPhone photo was painful. And, yet, the

struggle to find anything to feel grateful about, and then to record it, started to dramatically improve both my

mood and my images. I began to photograph the most boring details of my days, from my breakfast cup to a

red pepper reflected in the window. Despite everything, I found I could find magic in the ordinary. "Life

seems repetitive and boring when you don't notice the uniqueness of each moment and the constant subtle

changes that are going on all around you, " write Andy Karr in a wonderful book on photography. I agree,

but don't just take my word for it — experience it for yourself.

24. What happened to the writer on the winter afternoon?

A. She went to her classmate's degree show in a hurry.

B. She tripped over and injured herself seriously.

C. She was taught an unforgettable lesson on photography.

D. She took a photo of a tragic crash-landing to be on show.

25. The underlined word " cantankerous" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______ .

A. suspicious of the hospital diagnosis B. desperate to have my injury treated

C. enthusiastic about boosting wellbeing D. bad-tempered and always complaining

26. The writer photographed the boring life routine because ______ .

A. underlying magic consisted in daily affairs B. gratitude fuelled a struggle against boredom

C. it was central to the essence of photography D. she felt like being assigned demanding tasks

27. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage ？ ______

A. Express Gratitude to the Ordinary B. Become a Master of Photography

C. See life as a constant state of flux D. Picture the beauty in the Ordinary

That people often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings is a

phenomenon known as the “first-night” effect. If a person stays in the same room the following night, they

tend to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to investigate the

origins of this effect.

Dr. Sasaki knew the first-night effect probably has something to do with how humans evolved. The

puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it since performance might be affected the following day. She

also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to

sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining alert enough to avoid predators. This led her to wonder if

people might be doing the same thing. To take a closer look, her team studied 35 healthy people as they slept

in the unfamiliar environment of the university’s Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants

each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the

activity of their brains. Dr. Sasaki found, as expected, the participants slept less well on their first night than

they did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less overall. During deep

sleep, the participants’ brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins. On the first night only,

the left hemispheres of their brains did not sleep nearly as deeply as their right hemispheres did.

Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process information detected in the

surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a

mix of regularly timed beeps ( 蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the

night. She worked out that, if the left hemisphere was staying alert to keep guard in a strange environment,

then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed

ones. This is precisely what she found.

28. What did researchers find puzzling about the first-night effect?

A. To what extent it can trouble people. C. What circumstances may trigger it.

B. What role it has played in evolution. D. In what way it can be beneficial.

29. What do we learn about Dr. Yuka Sasaki doing her research?

A. She found birds and dolphins remain alert while asleep.

B. She found birds and dolphins sleep in much the same way.

C. She got some idea from previous studies on birds and dolphins

D. She conducted studies on birds’ and dolphins’ sleeping patterns.
