你是仅仅一个可以回答这个问题的人，但是我能够讲一个故事为你提供引导使你放心：这是一位斯坦福大学毕业生在社会上摸爬滚打以争得一席之地的故事，尽管她一直面对恐惧。

3) The philosophics and ideologies themselves certainly left an impression on me.But the rigor of the distillation process,the exercise of refinement,that’s where the real learning happened.

这些哲理和思想的确给我留下了深刻印象,但严谨的提炼过程和不断的改进加工才是我真正学习到的东西.

9) One answer would seem to be longer periods on each shift,a month,or even three months.

唯一能解决问题的方法是将夜班交给一些长期从事夜间工作的人,,他们在周末和假期依然会保持警醒状态.

A Band Festival

One of the most important events of the year is the student band’s performance at the District Band Festival. When the group performs, three judges make comments on a piece of paper or on a tape recording. They take five things into consideration, such as tone, technique and stage presence. After the prepared performance, the band heads to another room for sight-reading1. Given seven minutes, the band sings through and then performs two new pieces for the first time to display their musical ability. The sight-reading judge then speaks to them about what they did well and how they can improve. The judges at the festival give letter grades to the band and base their decision on their overall musical performance. These grades use the following letters: "I"=excellent, "II"=good, "III"=fair, and "IV" and "V" being not at the standard. When choosing pieces for the band to perform, each member should carry his / her share of responsibility. Practicing after school is also expected. Attendance2 at these events is very important, because any difference from what has been rehearsed3 requires changing the balance of the whole group, and judges can only grade based on what they hear. The festival experience is always educational. It gives students a chance to perform challenging music and receive suggestions on what is going well and what can be better. All parents are heartily encouraged to attend and support their sons and daughters in this event!
