Do you plan to study at American University ?It takes a long time to get accepted at most
American schools，perhaps as much as a year．That’s why you should start choosing a school as soon as possible．It’s also a good idea to apply to several different schools，so that you’ll have a better chance of being accepted at one。You should start looking for information now ,because the more  information you have about each college，the better choice you can make．
There are two good ways to get information you need．One is a general reference book，called Guide to American Colleges and Universities．The other good source(来源)of information is the catalogue(目录簿)published by each school．
You can study the general guide in almost any American library．This book has a lot of useful
information，such as the number of students，the average test score for people accepted to the school，and the number of books in the library．You can also find the address of each school in this book．
Although the general guidebook has helpful information，some of the facts may be out-of-date．For example，many school raise their tuition(学费)every year．Since you’ll need to know what your education will cost，out-of-date information will not be good enough．To be sure that you are getting the latest information，write to the university and ask for its catalogue．The catalogue not only has more detailed information．For example，the catalogue can tell you what kinds of courses are offered，and what kind housing there is in the school．Some universities have places for you to live in，but at  others you have to find your own place to live．
With all this information，you should be able to pick out several good schools．

When someone who is in good health dies suddenly ,there is usually an inquest(审问)．A coroner(验尸官)will do it．His job is to find out exactly how a person died．
If there is nothing suspicious(可疑的)about the death，he will decide that the person died from
natural causes or an accident．if, however ,he is suspicious，he may decide that the person’s death was caused by a person or persons unknown．
One day the coroner was trying to find out exactly what had caused the death of a local businessman，Henry Watson．
The man’s wife was explaining something．She was very sad and had to stop from time to time．The coroner did not want to make her sadder than necessary ,but he had to find out the truth．There were questions he had to ask．
“Mrs．Watson，I know this is painful for you，”he said，“but i want you to think very carefully and then answer my questions．You and your husband were having dinner at home．Is that correct? ”
“Yes．”
‘‘Suddenly he fell to the floor? ”
“Yes．”
“You stood up and hurried to him ?You knelt(跪下)beside him ?His stomach was in great pain? ”
“Yes．”
“Did he say anything? ”
The wife kept her head down．
“Please，Mrs．Watson，you must answer the question．What were his last words? ”
The wife took a deep breath and then spoke．“He said，”She replied in a very low voice，“I'm not surprised that seafood we had for dinner cost you only 50 cents，”
What is the purpose(目的)of an inquest when a healthy person dies suddenly?

Where did Henry Watson die?

What was the probable cause of Henry Watson’s death?

There was one thing that I found rather strange on my first day as housekeeper at Monk’S House．The floors in the house were very thin．The bathroom was right above the kitchen，and when Mrs．Woolf was having her bath before breakfast，I could hear her talking to herself．on and on she went，talk，talk，and talk，asking questions and giving herself the answers．I thought there must be two or three people there with her．When Mr．Woolf saw that I looked surprised，he told me that Mrs．Woolf always said out loud the sentences that she had written during the night．She needed to know if they sounded fight and the bath was a good place for trying them out·
I was not allowed to make coffee at Monk’S House—Mr．and Mrs．Woolf were very particular
(特别的)about coffee and always made it themselves—so Mr．Woolf came into the kitchen at eight o’clock every morning to make it．When we carried the breakfast to Mrs．Woolf’s room，I noticed that she had always been working during the night．There were pencil and paper beside her bed so that when she woke up，she could work，and sometimes it seemed as though she had had very little sleep．
Mrs．Woolf’s bedroom was outside the house in the garden．I used to think how inconvenient(不方便的)it must be to have to go out in the rain to go to bed．Her bedroom had been connected to the back of the house：the door faced the garden and a window at the side opened out on to a field．Because the writing-room was small，Mr．Woolf had built a large one for her at the end of the garden against the church wall．
I can always remember her coming to the house each day from the writing-room when I rang the bell for lunch at One O’clock．She used to come in，smoking one of her favourite cigarettes，which were bought by Mr．Woolf for her in London．She was tall and thin and very pretty．She had large eyes and a wide mouth．She wore long skirts-usually blue or brown-in the fashion of the day ,and silk jackets of the same colour Mrs．Woolf wore clothes that suited for her well．I ironed them for her and did any sewing that was necessary-She was not able to sew ,although sometimes she liked to try．There was one thing in the kitchen that Mrs．Woolf was very good at doing：she could make beautiful bread．
What was very unusual about Monk’s House?

Mrs．Woolf wore clothes which were        ·

Mr．Woolf seemed to be that         .

According to the article，Mrs．Woolf        .
