Features: Dingding is a freshman, and today is his (1-1) orientation and registration day. He is very excited. After registration, he familiarized himself with the campus and then came to the dormitory to meet his three other roommates. Soon after the school started, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived. Dingding (1-2) left home for the first time, and homesickness deeply troubled him. Soon Dingding realized (1-3) that university life is very different from high school. First (1-4), getting along with classmates is not easy. He couldn’t be as selfish, willful, or domineering as he used to at home. But what made Dingding particularly difficult was studying—he didn’t know how to (1-5) adjust his study methods. Fortunately, with the teacher’s help, Dingding finally got a grasp of it. Amidst the tense studies, classmates had various (1-6) hobbies, and Dingding was no exception. He was a computer game enthusiast and sometimes even neglected (1-7) his studies. Luckily, the teacher and classmates reminded him in time. Self-study is very important in university. Therefore, Dingding decided to learn how to use (1-8) the library. At the English Corner, Dingding and his friends talked the most about their (1-9) hometowns and the customs there, which greatly broadened Dingding’s horizons. Soon it was time for the final (1-10) exams, and Dingding was very worried. But the vacation after the exams made him excited again.
