Probably, most of you had the feeling before, at least once—you had been waiting for a long time, yet being afraid of getting. It was exactly my state of mind before the first day at college. I had been working hard to pass the necessary tests and have my application to the undergraduate programme in management approved. And when the time had come for me to visit the college for the first day of the study,I couldn't sleep all night because of being anxious about how to look good physically in front of the whole new world I was about to enter. However,the positive attitude and readiness to accept support from others helped a lot in a new environment.

It was Monday morning. Being too excited to sleep the night before, I came to the college half an hour earlier for the first lecture and was walking nervously through the hallway. About 15 minutes after I came, the hallway started to be full of students. Professors who walked on their business probably didn't pay attention to me. I knew which hall to go to and had already checked that it was open. However,I was hesitant to enter the hall and sit there alone. People were moving around me as if they hadn't seen me. I felt disappointed with the fact that I had nobody to talk to in the new and seemingly unfriendly place.

Suddenly,a well-dressed man who seemed to be in his late twenties approached me. He introduced himself as Mathews and asked whether I was lost and whether he could help me with anything.In that situation,I realized it was very kind of him and that he was exactly the person I wanted to ask in my thoughts a minute before, but then I was too nervous for a friendly chat. As a result, instead of welcoming the opportunity to make the first acquaintance （相识）, I told the man to mind his business and leave me alone since I was an adult capable of finding my class without anybody's assistance.

When I finished, I put the envelope in the______the next day. Each day after, I’d ask, “ Mum, did it come yet?” “Michael, we just mailed it off. Be______.”

A week later, when I opened the door, on the table was a brown______addressed to me. My heart skipped a beat. It was the first mail I ever______. Inside was a photo waiting for my______hands to take out. I______the envelope, ran to my room, and opened it with shaking hands. There it was.

6 . Several weeks ago, I pulled an old road map out of the glove box and passed it to my children. They had never seen the province of Ontario laid out like that before. They stared at the map, asking about all the towns, parks, and other landmarks we'd visited, and I pointed them out on the map.

Google Maps and GPS are modern wonders that have gotten me out of many confusing places, but paper maps still have a role to play in our lives. Most of us adults learned to read them out of necessity, but it's up to us to pass on that skill to children whose need may not be so obvious, but who still stand to benefit from it.

As Trevor Muir wrote in an article on this topic, "When kids learn how to create and use paper maps, they are doing more than just learning how to get around. They are actually developing fundamental skills that they will use for the rest of their lives. Map skills still belong in today's classroom. "

As a child I had National Geographic maps taped to my bedroom walls. This aroused my curiosity and imagination about those places and thus made me eager to remember my geography and history lessons because they were tied to places I'd "seen". Even now as a mother of four, I've also spared time to travel to many of the countries whose maps I studied as a child.

Additionally, in this fast-changing world, unexpected events can rapidly influence one's usual way of life. When GPS satellites or Internet connections are affected, this old-fashioned skill can get you out of a mess without requiring a smartphone. Last but not least, paper maps arouse "big picture" thinking, showing kids that there's a much bigger world out there and helping to direct them within it.

So, now is a good time to pull out those dusty old maps and lay them on the kitchen table.

1. How did the children react when they were given the paper map?

A．They showed great curiosity.

B．They seemed totally confused.

C．They considered it old-fashioned.

D．They found it less convenient than GPS.

2. What might be the topic of the article written by Trevor Muir?

A．The teaching focus in today's classroom.

B．The situations where paper maps are used.

C．The necessity of digital maps in the modem world.

D．The benefit of developing paper map skills for kids.

3. Which of the following shows the author's opinion?

A．Internet connections are very reliable today.

B．GPS will sooner or later replace paper maps.

C．Paper maps provide kids with a grand vision.

D．Paper maps make people connected with each other.

4. What would be the best tide for the text?

A．Time to Teach Kids to Read Paper Maps.

B．How to Teach Kids about Different Kinds of Maps.

C．Time to Encourage Kids to Step into a Bigger World.

D．How to Teach Kids Fundamental Skills with Paper Maps.
