Accommodation at University College Cork, Ireland
On-campus accommodation
UCC Campus accommodation is more than just a place to eat and sleep---it provides social, cultural and sporting shops and the chance to develop friendships that will last a lifetime. Our accommodation services are divided into our two areas of operation, one being the safe, modern accommodation for those studying during the academic year. The other one is the excellent summer accommodation for holiday or summer course visitors who are seeking what is a very special environment to stay in with every modern convenience but dipped in history and the atmosphere of one of Europe's oldest and most highly regarded universities.
Rental Housing
This is where the student lives with a family and 1~5 other students and you get your breakfast, evening meal and light supper. Rates are available for both single and shared rooms, five days or seven-day board. Prices are set and no landlady can charge over this agreed rate. This is a very economical and safe accommodation option and particularly well suited to freshmen. Lists of landladies are available free from the Accommodation Office by post, fax and email.
Shared Student Housing
Available rooms are advertised in the Accommodation Office throughout the year. Updated lists of them are provided daily. Lifetime friendship is easily developed here.
Living with a Landlord
Usually this provides more mature students with a high standard of accommodation at reasonable rents, usually a little below the market price. Vacancies are advertised in the Accommodation Office throughout the year.

There are only a few people who actually enjoy public speaking. Most of the population dislikes the experience and many find it fearful. What can you do?
First of all remember the following information. Most of your audience would not want to trade places with you. They can't imagine how you do it. They are your allies and not your critics. They are just people like you.
Second, don't make this more difficult than it needs to be. While it is good to have some eye contact with lots of people, you should try to begin by finding just one friendly face in the crowd. Pretend it's not public speaking and you are just having a conversation with that person. Now you can speak with your everyday voice and the sound equipment does the rest. So relax and talk normally.
Third, have a sense of humor. Even the best of speakers has an embarrassing moment now and then. Don't take yourself too seriously. If you make a mistake it is not the end of the world. If you appropriately begin your talk with some humor, it helps to relax you and the audience as well.
Fourth, there are many different kinds of public speaking. Some can be prepared and some are extempore(即兴的). If you have time to prepare then do it. Write the content well and practice ahead of time. Use a mirror and use a friend or two. If you have no time to practice at least get the key ideas clear in your mind before you begin.
Lastly, transform your nerves into passion for your topic. If you have no energy, if you aren't a bit nervous your voice is flat and uninteresting.
Public speaking isn't for everyone. However, it is a skill that can be developed. If you need to, or want to have a try to be a toastmasters. It will teach you and give you lots of experience.

I went nose to nose with a mouse last week, and I'd rather not say who won.
I was cooking when my friend phoned me to help her catch a mouse she had found in the kitchen. The mouse was under the fridge when I arrived. The cat was standing guard, slowly swinging its tail. I tried to put a broom handle beneath the fridge to force it out, but there were too many wires. My friend pulled up a chair at the table
and I pulled a chair beside the fridge, armed with a plastic box as my trap. It was a good plan, but as is usually the case, it didn't go according to plan.
After a while, the mouse put its head out. I knelt down on the floor in front of the fridge and angled the box to create a no-escape trap. The mouse moved out farther and I put the box down immediately. Unfortunately, the only thing inside the box was the mouse's tail, still attached to the mouse, which was now struggling with its little legs in an attempt to take to its heels. The cat just sat.
The mouse crawled (爬) up on the broom handle I'd used earlier, and we were now eyeball to eyeball. If I'd wanted to---and I didn't---I could have seized it with my teeth. I shouted I needed something else to get the mouse. My friend handed me another container. I lowered box two over the mouse's body, still on the broom handle, with its tail still in box one. Despite my two-box move, the mouse escaped and shot back under the fridge.
Shortly after I left, my friend found the mouse. It was bathed in the sunlight in her bedroom. The cat was sitting next to it, enjoying the rays as well. She said they were a cute couple. Learning from my mistakes, she got a box---and a lid---and said the mouse all but jumped in the box and helped her seal the lid. Just a small change brought about an unexpected result.
28. What does the last sentence in Paragraph 2 suggest?
A. The plan ended in failure. .
B. The plan wasn't worth carrying out.
C. The plan wasn't carried out properly.
D. The plan proved to be an unexpected
29. What does the underlined part “take to its heels" mean?
A. Go back. B. Stand up. C. Fight back. D. Get away.
30. What were the mouse and the cat doing in the bedroom?
A. Enjoying the harmony,
B. Comforting each other.
C. Celebrating the escape.
D. Appreciating the view.
31. Who had the last laugh?
A. The author. B. The author’s friend. C. The mouse. D. The cat.
D
In a perfect world there would be no social differences. Everybody would get along no matter what their social or financial standing (地位) is. However ,there is no such thing as a perfect world, only a world filled with prejudice( 偏见) and anger. The theme of Great Expectations shows that social class and a lot of money are worth less than love,and family.
A high social standing and money do not provide the necessities of a happy life. Great Expectations shows that people of a high social class are only popular among them- selves. The reason for this is that to keep their social standing, they are not to have relationships with lower class people. If it is found that they do accept these people as part of society, they are their friends. Similarly , money does not provide a happy future. Money can only buy materials. For a truly happy life , one must have
healthy relationships ,like that of Joe and Biddy. A person with money and no social skills will often become depressed due to their lack of relationships.
Even the poorest person can lead a richer life than the wealthiest man in the world. Happiness comes easy to a happy family that gets along. Money isn't needed for a fun time either. A poor family can entertain each other with good conversation. Low class people get along with a variety of people. Life is much easier socially for a person who is not concerned about what others think of them.
The message that social classes and money are worth less than love and family is important to remember in everyday life. The central theme of Great Expectations is not simple. It sends a good message to readers.
32. What does the writer think of the present world?
A. It's not perfect at all. B. There aren't many social differences.
C. People get along quite well. D. Money is nothing compared with love.
33. Why are Joe and Biddy mentioned in the passage?
A. They belong to a high social class.
B. They don't keep their social standing.
C. Their relationship is healthy enough.
D. Their friends are all lower class people.
34. The underlined word" depressed" probably means“
A. excited B. surprised C. frightened D. disappointed
35. The main purpose of this passage is to______
A. call on people to value love and family
B. show how difficult it is to be successful
C. encourage people to work for their dreams
D. prove social differences are hard to solve
