34、t of shape about going to see the professor. The professor would actually like to see you and answer your questions. Believe it or not, he or she is on your side and is eager to see you do well.

35、he record for stupidity.37. Even though you might feel more comfortable going with a friend or partner, the office hour will go better if its just you and the professor. Youll get in more questions, the discussion will be tailored to what you need most help on, and two-party communication is almost

36、always more productive than committee work. You friend can wait outside for the discussion.38. If you cant make the official office hours, most professors are willing to make individual, appointments to help you out. If youre lucky enough to land such an accommodation, though, be sure youre 100 perc

37、ent on time. Theres nothing that ticks off a professor more than making him-or herself available for a custom office hour only to find that you dont care enough to come on time. And besides, the professor might leave after ten minutes, which would make your trip a total loss.39. If youre meeting wit

38、h the professor to go over a paper or test, or to ask questions about a particular lecture or reading, make sure you bring that paper or test, or your lecture notes or a copy of the article. The professor doesnt remember the comments he or she wrote on your individual piece of workthough he or she w

39、ill be able to recall them after just a brief glance at your work. And if you have your lecture notes or the article in hand, you and the professor will be able to examine specific points that are confusing to you, rather than just talking in a general way about the contents.40. Office hours almost

40、always go better if you bring a few specific questions to the meeting. Its almost never good to start a meeting with general comments such as:“I didnt understand what you said about main topic of the course”or“I couldnt understand any of your lectures last week.”Much better is to “Come in with two o

41、r three conversation-starters, about a specific concept, point, or problem you didnt understand. Keep in mind that in a fifteen-minute office hour (which is how long these things usually last), two or three questions are usually the most youll have time to discuss.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小
