The UK has a well-respected higher education system and some of the top universities in the world. But to those who are new to it all, it can be something confusing. October is usually the busiest month in the academic calendar (学习日程表). Universities have something called Freshers’ Week for their newcomers. It’s a great opportunity to make new friends, join lots of clubs and settle into university life. However, having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind, meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be uneasy. Where do you start? Who should you make friends with? Which clubs should you join? Luckily, there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you are worried about starting their university social life. So just take it all in slowly. Don’t rush into anything that you’ll regret for the next three years. Here are some top tips from past students on how to survive Freshers’ Week: ·Make sure you know something about the British social customs. Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends. ·Sometimes cups of tea or even sweets can give you a head start in making friends. ·The more active you are, the more likely you’ll be to meet new people than if you’re someone who never leaves his rooms. ·Keep your door open when you’re in and that sends positive messages to your neighbors that you’re friendly. So with a bit of clever planning, Freshers’ Week can give you a great start to your university life and soon you’ll be passing on your wisdom to next year’s newcomers. 小题1:Which of the following statements is FALSE according to the passage?
