Students can earn both a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and a Doctor of Philosophy Degree (Ph.D.) in approximately 6 years.

Applicants to the Honors Program in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology must be in their last year of high school.

Undergraduates will have the opportunity to work with top-level research scientists in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology and also in clinical laboratories with scientists that are associated with the department. They will conduct intensive laboratory work in the areas of biochemistry, molecular biology or nutritional biochemistry starting in the summer before their first fall semester starts. By spring of their junior year；students will prepare an undergraduate thesis as preparation for their entry into graduate school. At that time, they will start taking graduate courses and continue to do research with a graduate faculty member.

To be considered students must:

• have a combined SAT I score of 1400(combined Math and Critical Reading scores)

• meet the SAT II score requirement of at least 600 in Math, and one science (Biology, Chemistry or Physics)

• have completed eight semesters of English and mathematics and two semesters each of Biology and Chemistry by the time they graduate from high school

7 . During the holidays or festivals, most of us get time away from work or university and we all intend to put this time off to good use, but it's not always easy. To help, we've had come up with a few ways to keep up with your courses, as well as the festive activities and celebrations.

    1     When you're in holiday mode, it's easy to lose track of the hours and days. To avoid this, try to plan your schedule beforehand. Mark certain days, or hours, as learning hours and set reminders on your phone or. in your diary so that you can stick to them.     2     This is very important when you want to combine work and pleasure during the holidays.

Think of a goal. What do you want to achieve at the end of the holiday period?     3     You can write your goal out nice and big on a note or a piece of paper and stick it. somewhere you can see it, so you're reminded of what you're working towards.

Take it step by step. A key thing to remember over the holidays is that you can learn something in a few short bursts.     4     If sitting down for a solid hour of learning isn't working for you, just try 10 minutes at breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Don't forget to reward yourself. If you're still struggling to keep going with your learning, try making sure you have rewards for when you complete some learning. For instance, if you finish one third of today's lesson, you can have a cup of hot chocolate.     5    

A．Try setting yourself a goal.

B．Create a schedule and follow it.

C．Arrange your plan randomly during the holiday.

D．Learning doesn't have to take over your whole day.

E．Remember to try to get recognition and reward from others.

F．Little rewards can help keep you active if you are struggling.

G．By doing this you can easily balance learning with festive activities.

8 . Do you know how to deal with failure at school? Four steps will help you get the most out of each failure and more on.

    1     When you feel bad after failing, talk with your parents or good friends, or any other adult. Then decide to take the duty to improve yourself. Read the teachers’ comments on your test carefully.

Ask yourself what you were trying to do and why you failed.     2     Maybe you didn’t have all the information you needed; maybe you made a mistake or a poor decision. If so, give yourself a pat on the back. Fewer people ever get something right the first time they try it, and often it takes them many times.    3     Sometimes the failure isn’t because of something you did or didn’t do; it is someone else’s fault. But don’t spend time blaming them; instead, move on toward your goals.

    4     Review the situation to see what your choices are. There is a different between making a decision and giving up. Deciding to follow a better way is one thing; simply walking away means you really have failed.

Keep trying again. Successful people are different because they choose their next steps instead of just reacting to feelings. If a goal still important to you, figure out what to do and go after it again.    5    

A．No pains, no gains.

B．Don’t give up easily.

C．Failure is unavoidable.

D．Remove your bad feelings.

E．If it isn’t, do your best on something else.

F．Actually it was because you were very lazy.

G．Usually it was because you were trying out a new skill or learning a new subject.

9 . A 22-year-old young man from Northeastern China, is reported to have spent 2 million yuan on studying in New Zealand but failed to get any diploma (毕业证). He even could not take care of himself and his grandmother had to feed him.

To use a popular label, the man in the case is a so-called adult baby, because his deeds make him al-most the same as a baby. However, he burns money faster than any normal baby. He spent 2 million yuan in two years overseas, but could not finish even the preparatory course. We do not mean to judge his choice, but someone who lacks the basic ability to survive has little chance of success in any modern society.

In a later interview, his mother was in tears and said she regretted not having taught her son well. She also told the story about how she “educated” her son: by meeting all his demands. When he did not perform well in school, she simply spent money sending him overseas. She would buy whatever he wanted. That was bad for her and bad for him.

No one is born an adult baby. It is a lack of proper education that makes adult babies. The failure of the young man has much to do with his parents giving in to his every demand.

The young man might be an extreme case. However, there are many more families that fail to educate their children properly and simply consider “raising a child” as “buying everything” they want. That might in turn make more adult babies for this society, and it is time for them to change.

1. What can we learn about the young man?

A．He is the only one child in his family.

B．He is poor in study but good at spending money.

C．His grandmother loves him more than anyone else.

D．He did well in school before he went to New Zealand.

2. Why did the young man’s mother send him to study abroad?

A．The young man’s family was wealthy enough.

B．She wanted to satisfy her son’s need.

C．The young man could achieve his dream there.

D．She intended to offer her son better education.

3. ____________should be to blame for the young man’s situation.

A．His overseas university

B．His aged grandmother

C．The education system

D．His mother’s education manner

4. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A．To warn parents baby adults.

B．To explain what is a baby adult.

C．To share a story about an overseas student.

D．To raise the problems with foreign education.
