1 . Before I came to college, I was sure I knew all about it, since I had met some college students and had seen more than my share of old “college” movies where the __ belonged to “playboys” and the heroines to sophisticates(圆滑世故的人）. But, now, after one semester as a college student, many of my old ideas have __ completely.

I used to imagine bossy upper-classmen, for example. I thought they would be know-it-all rulers of the campus who __ freshmen for fun. I pictured being __ to the wrong classrooms, being ignored. But, in fact, the upper-classmen turned out to be quite __. They offered to help me and inspired me to __ my tough courses.

The upper-classmen weren’t the only ones I worried about. I was also __ about the other freshmen. I was afraid they might think I was too fat, too shy, too __ , or even too dumb to bother with. __, I was wrong. When       I finally got to college, I discovered that most       students       felt exactly as I did. They were as uneasy with me as I was       with them, and as we started to open up, we began to __ one another. We began       to become curious about       each       other’s backgrounds and interests; the differences among us actually became __.

I changed my mind about other things too. I had __ homework to be a book-filled nightmare, which would keep me from meeting __ dates. I did have some __ tests; I did break out in a clammy sweat, and __       a stomach upset and a gigantic headache, but contrary to expectations, I passed all of my exams with good grades.

I’ve always been __. Then if the worst happens, I’m just ready for it.       I have planned to live __        this principle before. But after this, I know not all schools would be the same. This one __ to be much better       than I thought it would be — a good __ in not jumping to conclusions. No doubt my __ toward college will shift still more as I go on, but I know I’ll never be as negative as I was before I got to college.1.

5 . He was there every morning, sitting motionless on the front steps of his house. In the morning light, I could see the shadows that were etched (蚀刻) deep within the lines surrounding his eyes.

Each morning I walked this route with my daughter to her kindergarten class. We were new to the neighborhood so that I didn’t know many of my neighbors. On one beautiful autumn morning, as we passed his house, my daughter called out to him, “Hi, Mr. Man!” Always the outgoing child, I wasn’t surprised at her enthusiasm. But her cheerfulness soon faded when the man didn’t look at her and say “Hi” back.

As we continued on our walk to school, my daughter asked why the man didn’t want to say hi to her. Because I didn’t have an answer, I said simply, “Maybe he is having a bad day.” later I knew that Bob lost his wife in a car accident.

A few days later, as we approached Bob’s house on our way to school, my daughter called out “Hi Mr. Man!” and as usual, he didn’t respond. But then she ran onto his front lawn and picked up a beautiful red autumn leaf. She continued up one step and handed it to him. I held my breath.

As she skipped back to me, she said, “See you tomorrow, Mr. Man!” This time, he acknowledged her. In a soft gentle voice, he tanked her and said, “See you tomorrow.”

From then on, Bob and my daughter exchanged greeting each morning. Our friendship with Bob continued for many years. But, the sweetest day is when Bob attended my daughter’s high school graduation. Bob gave my daughter a gift — a book on identifying various plants and trees. There, tucked in the pages that described an oak tree, was the leaf my daughter had given to Mr. Man when they first met. He had dried and pressed it and kept it all those years.

C．The man’s sitting still on the steps.

D．The man’s not answering her greeting.

7 . Last night, on my way home I stopped because of being attracted by some hamburgers at a fast food restaurant. On my way in, a homeless man approached me and asked, “Do you have any bottles lying around?” I knew he would recycle them for a few cents, but I didn’t have any, so I said no. And again he asked, “Can you spare some change ?” I smiled, and said no again. He was very respectful; he smiled back and said, “OK, thank you.” Even though he didn’t have anything, he was still in good spirits. From the way he spoke I could tell he was smart.
Then I bought one hamburger and enjoyed my meal, but in the back of my mind I wondered whether the homeless man was hungry. After I finished my meal I decided to order another one for him. At this point I didn’t know if he was still around, but I tried anyway.
At the counter I ordered a hamburger and also a hot chocolate, because it was cold outside, and I thought it would help warm him up. They delivered me the hot chocolate first and as I waited for my hamburger, I noticed the homeless man was standing right beside me. I looked at him and smiled, “This hot chocolate is for you.” He replied like a gentleman, “Thank you so much. That’s very kind of you.”

Can you imagine your parents choosing your husband or wife for you? And can you imagine not setting eyes on him or her until your wedding day? This situation is common in India, the Middle East and many parts of Africa.     1    We don't realize that people in other places often get married in very different ways—and with different motives(动机)．

    2    A marriage provides a safe and stable home for the husband and wife. It also joins children, making sure the couple will be taken care of in old age. Because a marriage is important for the whole family, some cultures don't let young people choose whom to marry.

Just as there are many different reasons for marriage, there are also many different wedding rituals(仪式),    3    In a typical Western wedding, the bride seeks good luck by wearing “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.” Something old represents the past. Something new represents success in the future. Something borrowed reminds the bride she can get help from her friends and family.    4    

In Poland, one wedding tradition is not only lucky, but also very practical. The wedding guests pin money to the bride's dress while she is dancing. Th e money is meant to bring luck and to help the young couple build their new life. In Bermuda, the young couple plants a tree in the yard of their new home. Once they move in, they take good care of the tree , making it grow and blossom. The planting of the tree is a good metaphor(隐喻) for marriage.    5    

A．Every culture has its own ways of bringing good luck to the happy couple.

B．A truly good marriage is something that grows with care.

C．In the United States, parents do not arrange marriages for their children.

D．And something blue reminds her to be true to her husband.

E．Marriage customs around the world often differ from our own.

F．In many countries, marriage is a practical matter.

G．Different countries have different cultures.

9 . A person, like a commodity （商品）, needs packaging. But going too far is absolutely undesirable. A little exaggeration, however, does no harm when it shows the person’s unique qualities to their advantages. To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself. A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of embellishment（装饰）, so that the person so packaged is not a commodity but a human being, lively and lovely.
A young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted by God. Any attempt to make up would be self - defeating. Youth, however, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle - aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self - confidence and work at pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self - satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need to make use of hair dyeing. The snow - capped mountain is itself a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony （和谐）with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness____________________________________________________________________________.
As long as one find where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.
1. It can be concluded from the text that ________.

A．people should be packed at all ages

B．people should be packed in a special way

C．elderly people also care about packing

D．proper packing makes people attractive

2. For the middle - aged, attractiveness________ .

A．hardly exists	B．is the strongest
C．comes from the inside	D．comes from the appearance

3. The underlined sentence means that elderly people ________.

A．are usually packed like a finely - made book

B．experience a lot and have rich knowledge of life

As a senior 3 student, I have the same dream like my classmates that I can be admitted to an ideal university. In the past three years, I have done everything I can equip myself with that I have learnt from my teachers. Not only have I enjoy the pleasure of study but also I have got closer to my dream. Anxiety and pressure discourage him now and then. Therefore, with the encouragement of my teachers and classmates, I think I’ll make out it.

I’m sure that there is still a long way to go to achieve my dream. No matter how challenged it is, I’ll make it come true. As the proverb says, “Where there has a will, there’s a way.”
