What are some of your favorite memories of the University?

In preparation for each fall’s 50th reunion members of the milestone class are asked to recall campus memories for an annual Memory Book.

Here’s a small selection of some memories from the Class of 1969.

Phyllis Jo Baunach

“…I cannot forget the endless hours studying, researching, and learning in the middle of the musty books in the stacks. We did everything by hand! But the joys of ideas coming to life and understanding thorny concepts are priceless.

Additionally, I cannot forget the joyful hours of Co-Kast rehearsals for student-written-and-directed plays, and the thrill of audiences’ responses to our efforts. Nor will I ever forget taking voice lessons at the Eastman School of Music. This course gave me confidence to try new musical approaches and to think on my feet.”

Paul Boehm

“…many sweet and lasting memories-five feet of deep snow, getting stranded on the Thruway, music at Hylie Morris’s Alley, and, of course, I met my wife of 48 years, Eller Blazer Boehm from the Class of 1972, when she was a freshman and I was a senior. As a five-year chemical engineering major, I had one elective to spare, and Ellen said, ‘How about oceanography?’ So, I enrolled in oceanography with Dr. Taro Takahashi (the famous climate scientist), which awakened my environmental juices, and changed my professional direction.”

Farel Vella McClure

“…I truly loved my four undergraduate years at the University of Rochester. In fact. I loved it so much that I stayed an extra year to get a master’s degree! I was very fortunate to have been totally immersed in student life on campus. My memories include campaigning and winning a seat on the student government during my freshman year. Other memories include the Susan B. Anthony banquet, and sleeping in the comfy chairs in the library. I was also privileged to be selected as a student representative on the design team for the new Wilson Commons. I. M. Pei, the famous architect who designed the Louvre Pyramid, was the architect for Wilson Commons. We even visited his offices in New York to see the ‘master’ at work.”

1.According to the passage, Paul Boehm      .

A.married Ellen Blazer in 1972

B.disliked his major in university

C.became a famous climate scientist later

D.discovered his interest in environmental science

2.What does the underlined word “comfy” in the last paragraph mean?

A.Common. B.Column.

C.Combining. D.Comfortable.

3.The three people all talked about      .

A.their beloved professors

B.their great friendship

C.their learning experiences

D.their beautiful campus

 

1.D 2.D 3.C 【解析】 这是一篇记叙文。里程碑班里的三位成员讲述了自己大学中最美好的记忆。 1.细节理解题。根据文章第5段So, I enrolled in oceanography with Dr. Taro Takahashi (the famous climate scientist), which awakened my environmental juices, and changed my professional direction.(于是,我跟随著名的气候学家高桥太郎博士学习海洋学,唤醒了我的环境果汁,改变了我的专业方向)可知,Paul Boehm发现了他对海洋科学的兴趣。故选D项。 2.词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段Other memories include the Susan B. Anthony banquet, and sleeping in the comfy chairs in the library.(其他的记忆包括Susan B. Anthony宴会,在图书馆comfy椅子上睡觉)可知,此处应该指在图书馆舒适的椅子上睡觉。由此推知,划线词comfy意为“舒适的”,而comfortable译为“舒适的,舒服的”。故选D项。 3.推理判断题。根据文章第2段Here’s a small selection of some memories from the Class of 1969.(这里精选了一些1969届毕业生的记忆),第3段I cannot forget the endless hours studying, researching, and learning in the middle of the musty books in the stacks.(我无法忘记在堆在发霉的书堆中无休止的学习、研究和学习),第5段So, I enrolled in oceanography with Dr. Taro Takahashi (the famous climate scientist), which awakened my environmental juices, and changed my professional direction.(于是,我跟随著名的气候学家高桥太郎博士学习海洋学,唤醒了我的环境果汁,改变了我的专业方向)和最后一段I truly loved my four undergraduate years at the University of Rochester.(我真的很喜欢我在罗切斯特大学的四年本科生活)可推出,三个人都在讲他们大学的学习经历。故选C项。

There is a library in our community. My brother and I went to the library every Saturday either do our homework or pick out whatever we want to read. We spend a couple of hour there and find lots of things to talk about afterwards. Saturday’s night is our family movie night and we usual select a DVD to watch. I have DVDs, books and magazines borrowing from our library. My brother enjoys listen to music so he often checks out records.

    Studying makes you tired?1.Here is some advice that may add happiness to your life.

Breathe

Rest at weekends

Weekends are time for a rest. After a week's hard work, weekends are the best time for you to relax yourself. Having a nice lie-in(懒觉)is a good idea.2.

Cry out or laugh out

Keep a diary

Instead of allowing a jumble(混乱)of thoughts and ideas to jump around inside your head, let them fall out onto your computer keyboard instead.4.They don't even have to make sense. Minutes later, you might be surprised at how light, airy and carefree you feel.

Join in activities

5.Going out with friends for a trip will also make you happy. And it will also bring you a good sleep.
