When I first entered college, I was afraid that I was not " up to it". I was afraid of being away from my family for the first time. Here I would have to make friends with strange people and perhaps also compete with them for grades in courses I would take. Were they smarter than I was? Could I keep up with them? Would they accept me? I soon learned that my life was now up to me. I had to set a study program if I were to succeed in my courses. I had to regulate the time I spent in my study and socializing. I had to decide when to go to bed, what to eat, and with whom to be friendly. These questions I had to answer for myself.At first, life was rough. I made mistakes in how I used my time. I also made mistakes in how I chose my first friends in college. Shortly, however, I had my life under control. I managed to get myself to class on time, do my homework and hand them in, and pass my first exams with satisfying grades. In addition, I developed a circle of friends with whom I felt comfortable and could share my fears. I set up my own routine, one that really met my needs.As a result, I began to look upon myself from a different perspective(视角). I began to see myself as a person responsible for myself and responsible for my friends and family. It felt good to make decisions and see them turn out to be wise ones. I guess this is what people call " growing up".What did life have in store for me? At that stage in my life, I was really uncertain where I would go and what I would do with the years ahead of me. But I knew I would be able to handle what was ahead because I had successfully overcome the major problem in my life: I had made the change from a person dependent on his family to a person who was responsible for himself.1. The author was anxious about his college life at first because____.A.he hated to get on with strangersB.he lacked some specialist knowledgeC.he was at a loss in the new surroundingsD.he was afraid of making mistakes in front of others 2.

What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a generally satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects, you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs. 　　Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery(烹饪术) and look for a job where you can improve these skills. 　　If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer holiday, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job. 　　Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle(运用) tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work. (1) Which of the following best sums up the first paragraph? A. The importance of doing well at school. B. Using your school performance to help to choose a career. C. The importance of being good at all subjects. D. The indirect value of schoolwork. (2) The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably 　　　　. A. a waste of time that could have been spent on study B. useful for his future work C. a good way to earn extra money D. a good way to find out his weak points (3) According to the passage, if a student’s school record is not good, he 　　　　. A. will be a complete failure in his future work B. will not be able to find a suitable job C. will regret not having worked harder at school D. may do well in his future work (4) The whole passage centres on 　　　　. A. choosing a career according to what one is skilled in B. acquiring knowledge by working hard at school C. finding one’s strong and weak points D. developing one’s abilities in schoolwork

阅读理解 　　At Denver there was an crowd of passengers into the coaches(车厢)on the eastbound B．＆M．express．In one coach there sat a very pretty young woman dressed in elegant taste and surrounded by all the luxurious comforts of an experienced traveler．Among the newcomers were two young men, one of handsome presence with a bold, frank face expression and manner; the other a ruffled, glum-faced person, heavily built and roughly dressed．The two were handcuffed(拷上手铐)together． 　　As they passed down the aisle of the coach the only available seat offered was a reversed one facing the attractive young woman．Here the linked couple seated themselves．The young woman's glance fell upon them with a distant, swift disinterest; then with a lovely smile brightening her face and a tender pink tingeing(稍加染色，影响)her rounded cheeks, she held out a little gray-gloved hand．When she spoke her voice, full, sweet, and deliberate, proclaimed that its owner was accustomed to speak and be heard． 　　"Well, Mr．Easton, if you will make me speak first, I suppose I must．Don't you ever recognize old friends when you meet them in the West?" 　　The younger man aroused himself sharply at the sound of her voice, seemed to struggle with a slight embarrassment which he threw off instantly, and then clasped her fingers with his left hand． 　　"It's Miss Fairchild," he said, with a smile．"I'll ask you to excuse the other hand; "it's otherwise engaged just at present．" 　　He slightly raised his right hand, bound at the wrist by the shining "bracelet" to the left one of his companion．The glad look in the girl's eyes slowly changed to a bewildered horror．The glow faded from her cheeks．Her lips parted in a vague(含糊，犹豫), relaxing distress．Easton, with a little laugh, as if amused, was about to speak again when the other forestalled him．The glum-faced man had been watching the girl's face expression with veiled glances from his keen, shrewd eyes． 　　"You'll excuse me for speaking, miss, but, I see you're acquainted with(认识，熟悉)the officer here．If you'll ask him to speak a word for me when we get to the pen(围栏，监狱)he'll do it, and it'll make things easier for me there．He's taking me to Leavenworth prison．It's seven years for cheating．" 　　"Oh!" said the girl, with a deep breath and returning color．"So that is what you are doing out here? An officer!" 　　"My dear Miss Fairchild," said Easton, calmly, "I had to do something．Money has a way of taking wings with itself, and you know it takes money to keep step with our crowd in Washington．I saw this opening(通道)in the West, and-- well, an officer isn't quite as high a position as that of ambassador, but--" 　　"The ambassador," said the girl, warmly, "doesn't call any more．I needn't ever have done so．You ought to know that．And so now you are one of these brave Western heroes, and you ride and shoot and go into all kinds of dangers．That's different from the Washington life．You have been missed from the old crowd．" 　　The girl's eyes, fascinated, went back, widening a little, to rest upon the glittering handcuffs． 　　"Don't you worry about them, miss," said the other man．"All officers handcuff themselves to their prisoners to keep them from getting away．Mr．Easton knows his business．" 　　"Will we see you again soon in Washington?" asked the girl． 　　"Not soon, I think," said Easton． "My butterfly days are over, I fear ．" 　　"I love the West," said the girl irrelevantly．Her eyes were shining softly．She looked away out the car window．She began to speak truly and simply without the gloss of style and manner："Mamma and I spent the summer in Denver．She went home a week ago because father was slightly ill．I could live and be happy in the West．I think the air here agrees with me．Money isn't everything．But people always misunderstand things and remain stupid--" 　　"Say, officer," shouted the glum-faced man．"This isn't quite fair．I'm needing a drink, and haven't had a smoke all day．Haven't you talked long enough? Take me in the smoker now, won't you? I'm half dead for a pipe．" 　　The bound travelers rose to their feet, Easton with the same slow smile on his face． 　　"I can't deny a require for tobacco," he said, lightly．"It's the one friend of the unfortunate．Good-bye, Miss Fairchild．Duty calls, you know．" He held out his hand for a farewell． 　　"It's too bad you are not going East," she said, reclothing herself with manner and style．"But you must go on to Leavenworth, I suppose?" 　　"Yes," said Easton, "I must go on to Leavenworth．" 　　The two men sidled down the aisle into the smoker． 　　The two passengers in a seat near by had heard most of the conversation．Said one of them："That officer is a good sort of man．Some of these Western fellows are all right．" 　　"Pretty young to hold an office like that, isn't he?" asked the other． 　　"Young!" exclaimed the first speaker, "why－Oh! Didn't you catch on? Say－did you ever know an officer to handcuff a prisoner to his right hand?" (1) From the first three paragraphs, we know that ________ [　　] A． the two young were seated opposite to the young woman by accident． B． it was not difficult for the woman to find the men were handcuffed C． the young woman found she knew one of the men at the first sight of them． D． the young woman may not be good at communicate (2) What would be the possible sentence following the underlined “and ________“ [　　] A． and it is not easy to make such a fortune B． and I do the cheating things to collect money C． and I tried my best to be a good officer D． and the West is bond to be wealthy (3) When Easton uttered the underlined sentence "My butterfly days are over, I fear ", his real meaning was that ________ [　　] A． he would have to focus on his work B． he would be put in prison C． his chance of being with butterfly is small D． his workload as an officer was heavy (4) Why did the glum-faced man urge Easton to the smoker?
