Scholarship Application Tips in 2013 for college students

·Before you apply

1. Work hard to get good grades. Don’t sweat about one bad grade, but always strive(力求)to do your best.

2. Get involved, and stay involved, in extracurricular(課外的)activities. Sports, clubs, drama, bands and orchestras－these often count toward a student’s overall scholarship application evaluation. The same goes for paid (or unpaid) work experience.

3. Begin your scholarship research early－by your sophomore(大學(xué)二年級(jí))or junior year of high school, if possible. Make special note of application deadlines, as they can vary from late summer to late spring.

4. Apply for as many scholarships as you are eligible(符合條件的)for－several smaller scholarships can add up to a lot of money.

·During the application process

1. Read the supplementary materials that come with scholarship application forms to better understand the program’s focus (community service, subject interest). Try to answer the questions with the focus area in mind.

2. Answer questions as they are asked. Don’t got off topic.

3. If there is a financial component to the application, make sure you get accurate and complete information from all appropriate sources to ensure your eligibility.

4. Take your time. Write down everything you can think of for each question, then set the application aside for a day so you can look everything over again before you send it off.

5. Don’t wait until the last minute to complete your application, especially if you are applying online. Computer systems can get clogged(阻塞的)with the large volume of applicants hoping to submit their qualifications during the last few days and hours before a deadline.

6. If a third party has to complete part of your application, such as providing a letter of recommendation, make sure you ask them early on and remind them as often as necessary to ensure they provide you with the necessary materials.

7. Last but not least, review your application with your parents to make sure you haven’t left out any important details.

The opening of the Sherlock Holmes Museum to the public on March 27, 1990, was an event that should have happened several decades ago. Baker Street is, after all, one of the world’s most famous streets because of its long association with the great detective.

Thousands of people all over the world write to Sherlock Holmes, they form clubs and societies in his honor, and they celebrate his anniversaries. Now it is also possible to see where and how he lived in Victorian times!

Here visitors will recognize familiar objects mentioned in the stories. You can take as many photographs as you want (the maid will be pleased to assist) and when you are ready to leave, a ride home in a horse-drawn carriage will complete your 19th century experience!

Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson lived at 221b Baker Street from about 1881 to 1904. Apartment 221b was on the first floor of a lodging house, which they rented from a Mrs Hudson. The famous study that Holmes and his friend Dr Watson shared for almost 25 years is on the first floor overlooking Baker Street.

We know from Doctor Watson’s descriptions that their sitting room overlooking Baker Street was “illuminated(照明、照亮) by two broad windows” and that it was quite small.

Doctor Watson’s bedroom was on the second floor next to Mrs Hudson’s room and it overlooked an open yard at the back of the house. These rooms are used today for exhibits, where center stage is taken by a magnificant bronze bust(半身像)of Mr Holmes. Visitors can browse through literature, paintings, photographs and newspapers of the period. Memorabilia（紀(jì)念品） from the adventures and a selection of letters written to and from Mr Holmes are also on display.

The museum’s large and attractive souvenir shop is located on the ground floor. Here you will find a unique collection of gifts, objects of art, figures, busts, prints, books, playing cards, T-shirts, －novelties of every description available exclusively to museum visitors.

In the UK, we like a good bargain. People flock to the sales in January, when stores slash their prices to get rid of all their winter stock. But surprisingly, the British hate haggling. In markets you might see the odd British person battling with a stall owner to bring down the price of a pair of trousers or some furniture. Generally, though, people from the UK are too reserved to haggle. If we think the price of something we want is too high, we’ll simply move on and try somewhere else.

The act of bargaining with someone is very theatrical, in my opinion. It’s a test to see who can stand their ground for the longest. But it is not in British people’s nature to “perform” in public, especially around strangers.

However, in the US, people are generally more willing to haggle. And if you wander into a market, you’re likely to hear a number of phrases that Americans reserve for such occasions.

First, “you drive a hard bargain” is commonly said by the customer to indicate they think the stall holder is working very hard, probably a little too hard, to get the price he wants.

Or you might hear the buyer telling a stall holder that “the kid’s gotta have braces”, which means they don’t have enough spare money lying around to afford the price being offered.

If the customer is really shocked at the price suggested by the seller, they also might say “you’re killing me” to indicate that they think the price is far too high.

In Britain, it’s difficult to imagine anyone saying anything along these lines. If I were forced to bargain, I’d probably say, very simply: “I’m going to make you an offer.” If that offer were refused, I think I’d just walk away.

A．a(chǎn)rguing           B．bargaining         C．performing        D．insisting

2.Why don’t the British haggle generally?

A．They don’t think it is polite behavior.

B．They have sales every January.

C．They can always get a better price somewhere else.

3.The underlined phrase “you drive a hard bargain” means_______.

A．the seller has a lot of deals on offer.

B．the buyer will make a final offer

C．the stall holder is too insistent

D．the buyer doesn’t have a lot of spare money

4.What’s the author’s attitude toward bargaining?

A．Negative.          B．Careless.          C．Positive.           D．Critical.

5.How does the passage mainly develop?

A．By providing examples.

B．By making comparision.

C．By analyzing causes and effects.

The next long vacation might be still months away, but it’s never too early to tailor a good travel plan.

Planning ahead with discount air tickets and hotel booking sites may bring you the prize of an overseas adventure. Here, 21^st Century offers some tips on how to plan a cheap, creative travel route.

Book a budget flight

 1.  Discount airlines tend to increase their fare as the plane fills up and early reservations are usually rewarded with the lowest fares.

Most major domestic airlines offer discount tickets for off-peak travel. China Southern Airlines now provides favorable group purchase ticket deals to attract tourists to cities like Hong Kong and Guilin.   2. 

Another way is to search for a cheap ticket on the websites of low-cost airlines, which offer you very low fares though less comfort.

The budget airline has a long history in the West. It’s also called a no-frills carrier(經(jīng)濟(jì)型航班)for doing away with traditional free services, such as food and drinks. They charge you extra for catering on board, or securing a seat.   3. 

Popular airline routes

Air Asia: The Malaysian-based airline flies form seven cities in China including Tianjin, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Guilin and Shenzhen in the Chinese mainland, and provides trips to cities such as Paris and London.   4.  Many tickets are priced under 1500 yuan.

Southwest Airlines: If you go traveling in the US you can take this low-cost airline based in Texas.

Find a cheap 5-star service hotel

 5.  It’s a great idea to look for YHA（Youth Hostels Associa-tion）backpackers, or Bed ＆ Breakfast deals online.

A．It can transfer you to most South East Asian countries.

B．So you have to read more discount information before boarding.

C．The key to getting any good-priced plane ticket is to reserve the flight early.

D．So it’s wiser to take hand luggage because many budget airlines put a fee on checked in luggage.

E. Air China and Beijing Capital Airlines offer tickets with as much as 75 to 80 percent discounts.

F. Like airline tickets, the price for a budget hotel depends on when you book it: the earlier, the cheaper.

G. Get your holiday off to a flying start by booking a cheap flight to hundreds of destinations ebookers offers.

In my English class, there is a young boy who never talk. The boy, Michael, simply does not talk in class. No matter so much talking is occurred around him, Michael is never affected. Instead, he sits quietly at his desk and listens attentive to the rest the students talking and the teacher speaking. One day, Michael was surprised us all by raising his hand. He was actually attempting to talk. Interesting and curious at that was going to happen when he got called on, we all leaned forward against our desks looking at him with our eyes wide open. There was total silence in the room as the teacher call aloud his name.
