Don't go to Kauai. Go to any of the other Hawaiian Islands — Maui, Lanai, the Big Island — but leave Kauai for us. The weather on Kauai is so unpredictable (不可预测的) that sometimes it rains all day in fact, it's the second-wettest spot on the earth. Yes, there are giant double rainbows all the time, and the sunlight through the clouds is magical. But if you are not interested in these, go somewhere else. You just can't control the nature on Kauai, and who wants to surrender (屈服) to the nature when you could be at a fine hotel, lying in a comfortable chair next to a swimming pool, with food served upon request?
So what if Kauai produces surf champions the way Texas produces cowboys? Most of its 300 white-sand beaches are unmarked. Unless you connect with the local people, the hidden spots are hard to find. While Hanalei is the most beautiful town you've ever dreamed of, you can forget about discos and clubs. Worse, it doesn't have one single four-star restaurant. What it does have is the original drive-through places where you pass by a rambutan tree (红毛丹树), and pick a piece of fruit.
Shopping in Kanai? Forget it — unless you are interested in shell necklaces and beautifully carved wood bowls. Kauai is not about pampering. It's about going natural and finding the nature within you. If a do-it-yourself place that offers walking along the coast, diving and swimming in the Pacific Ocean, and lying on the beach.
Don't go to Kauai unless you have a lot of time, because there's only one road, which can be slightly dull. It winds through the beautiful scenery of waterfalls, rivers flowing into the ocean, and taro (芋头) fields. You have no choice but to look at everything, because the speed limit is 35 m.p.h.
If you're not interested in color, don't bother with Kauai, because that's what you get — fed roads, blue oceans, and a hundred different shades of green. It's like diving on land. Many people on Kanai believe that this is Lemuria — a lost island in the Atlantic. Can you imagine? Those Hawaiians, suffers, New Agers, and people who love nature and beauty and want a different quality of life — what do they know, anyway? Forget about it — you're not going to like it. Go somewhere else. Leave Kanai for us.

听力原文:M: Good morning. Can I help you?
W: Yes. I want to send this parcel to Australia.
M: That'll go as a small packet.
W: I'd call it a small parcel.
M: Let's see how much it weighs. It might have to go as a parcel. No, that's all right, it's just 500 grams.
W: How much is it going to cost?
M: A fortune, I should think. It's $10.50 the first 10 grams, and then so much for each 10 grams afterwards.
W: Isn't there a cheaper way?
M: You'll have to go to the parcel counter if you want it to go that way.
W: I just don't want to be in the poor house trying to send a few old coins and stamps to the old country.
M: Have you put a customs label on it?
W: I had all that at the last post office when I went to enquire about sending the stuff in the first place.
M: Did you say coins? Did you tell them you wanted to send coins?
W: No. It's a present. My brother's a collector in a small way.
M: You can't send coins unless you've got a special permit from the customhouse.
W: Special permit! My brother doesn't need a special permit to collect.
M: No, but you need one to send anything from here.
W: All right, I'll go to the customhouse to ask for the permit. Thank you anyway.
M: My pleasure, madam.

Advice to Freshman
You have been at Furnell University for two weeks now. As usual, you need enough time to sleep and eat. You also want to spend time with your new friends and get some exercise. But, after the first two weeks of classes, you have probably concluded that there isn't enough time to do all these things, because you also have to attend classes, go to labs, do assignments and write papers.
Soon you will be in a situation like this one: You are going to have a quiz in your ten o'clock class. You studied for it until 3 A. m. You also have an eight o'clock class. Should you sleep late and skip the eight o'clock class?
To some extent the answer depends on the professor of the course. Some instructors announce that they require attendance. In that case you really should go to class. Some don't say anything. In that case you have to decide. Once in a while it is better to stay in bed and sleep than to get so tired you cannot think. However, it is not a good idea to skip class more than a few times.
If you have to skip a class, ask another student for the class notes, announcements and the assignment. Also, come to the next class prepared. If you miss class because you are sick, tell the instructor afterward. He or she may let you make up the work. If you have an important appointment, tell the instructor about it before you miss the class.
Here is another common problem. You took the quiz. Even after studying very hard, you could not answer all the questions. In high school you always got every answer right. What went wrong? Nothing. High school work is easy, so a good student is supposed to get a perfect score. In college the teacher wants to challenge even the best students. Therefore, almost nobody answers every question correctly.
But maybe there were some very basic ideas in that course you did not understand. Go see the teacher during his or her office hours. Most teachers will gladly explain things again. Of course, they will not be pleased to repeat what they said in class to someone who skipped class.
Maybe you really should get up for that eight o'clock class!
According to the article, a good student in college must ______.
A.go to every class, no matter how he/she feels
B.go to class unless there is a good reason not to
C.stay in the dormitory and study
D.make excuses to the teacher
