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 fbr student-written-and- directed plays, and the thrill of audiences5 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一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, Ellen 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?9 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 irfemories 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 "master9 at work.,31.

The three people all talked about .A. their beloved professorsB. their great friendshipC. their learning experiencesD. their beautiful campusBEarly February, I was flying up to Ohio. Well prepared, I had everything in my favour一fuel for five hours, charts in order, my flight plan on my lap, and a beautiful clear sky.I was wrong.I had heard about Alberta Clippers coming out of Canada. I knew all about themhow an entire air mass was streaming along at over sixty miles an hour.That morning, the Weather Briefer informed me that an Alberta Clipper was going over Chicago about,the time I got to the airport. Chicago was some 400 miles from my destinationnot a factor, or so I thought. That was the first hint I missed.The controller called and asked if I wanted to adjust my flight plan. I did the check and everything was in the green. So I told him no. Twenty minutes later the controller called again asking whether I wanted to adjust my flight plan. I checked everything. All was fine. I ignored that hint. I was fooled by the smooth air and limited experience with a rapidly moving air mass that was not changing violently. The Alberta Clipper was clipping along.The first blast of turbulence 气流struck my plane. I got slammed into the roof, and then slammed sideways hitting the window with such force up my nose that I started bleeding.After a 2-hour flight of 100 miles, I realized fuel was now an issue. So was landing. I called Flight Following. We figured out the airport I could land.The engine stopped. So did my heart. There is no quiet as quietly stunning as this one at such an altitude. I had run out of fuel in the left tank, and only a little in my right tank. The engine quit fbr a second time. I declared an emergency. I was told that I might get another few minutes of fuel if I gently banked the airplane. Luckily, it worked. Then, the engine quit for the last time. I was a glider now. I made a long lazy spiral descent. Down I went. I stopped at the very end of the runway.I made so many mistakes, missed so many clues, and showed my ignorance so much that I beat myself up over and over again in my mind. I learned textbook descriptions of Alberta Clippers and real-life experience with one are totally different. I will never forget the sound of that silence.I flew home the next day. Older. Wiser.

I was thrown to the roof by the violent air mass.C. cdabe 、D. cdbaeB. a narrow escapeD. a serious accidente. I slightly banked my airplane and made a landing.A. dcbeaB. dceba37. The passage describes .A. a rewarding trainingC. a painful explorationThere is certainly evidence that actors experience a blending of their real self with their assumed characters. For instance, Benedict Cumberbatch said, "My mum says I'm much more impatient with her when I'm filming Sherlock.,Mark Seton, a researcher at the University of Sydney, has even coined the term "post-dramatic stress disorder, to describe the lasting effects experienced by actors who lose themselves in a role. “Actors may often prolong habits of the characters they have embodied," he writes.A recent finding doesn't involve acting, and it indicates that merely spending some time thinking about another person seemed to rub off on the volunteers5 sense of self led by Meghan Meyer at Princeton University. Across several studies, these researchers asked volunteers to first rate their own personalities, memories or physical attributes, and then to perform the same task from the perspective of another person. For instance, they might score the emotionality of various personal memories, and then rate how a friend or relative would have experienced those same events.After taking the perspective of another, the volunteers scored themselves once again: the consistent finding was that their self-knowledge was now changedtheir self-scores had shifted to become more similar to those they'd given for someone else. For instance, if they had initially said the trait term "confident" was only moderately related to themselves and then rated the term as being strongly related to a friend's personality, when they came to rescore themselves, they now tended to see themselves as more confident. Remarkably, this morphing of the self with another was still apparent even if a 24-hour gap was left between taking someone else's perspective and re-rating oneself."By simply thinking about another person, we may adapt our self to take the shape of that person/9 said Meyer and her colleagues. That our sense of self should have this quality might be a little discouraging, especially for anyone who has struggled to establish a firm sense of identity. Yet there is an optimistic message here, too. The challenge of improving ourselves一or at least seeing ourselves in a more positive lightmight be a little easier than we thought. By roleplaying or acting out the kind of person we would like to become, or merely by thinking about and spending time with people who embody the kind of attributes we would like to see in ourselves, we can find that our sense of self changes in desirable ways.“As each of us chooses who to befriend, who to model, and who to ignore/9 write Meyer and her colleagues, “we must make these decisions aware of how they shape not only the fabric of our social networks, but even our sense of who we are."38. The first two paragraphs mainly .A. state that acting requires skillsB. explain the stress that an actor facesC. show that a role leaves a mark on the actorD. stress the importance of devoting oneself to a role39. What does the underlined phrase "rub off on in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Influence.B. Strengthen.C. Confuse.D. Determine.40.
