Five Things Nobody Told Me about College

As I type this, I am in my university dorm room. A year ago, when I was awaiting to hear the results of my college applications, I often went to websites for some type of insider look on what college would be like. However, there’s only so much that prep books, websites, and older friends can teach. Here are the top 5things nobody told me about college:

【1】

Nobody entering a university knows exactly what they want to study. If they tell you otherwise, they’re lying and will probably change what they want to pursue within the first quarter of attendance. During my first quarter at University of California, Riverside (UCR),I thought that I wanted to study Political Science with its focus on International Affairs, so that’s what I applied for. However, once I worked with statewide and local government, I realized that a better fit for me would be Public Policy, and now I am in the process of changing my area.

【2】

In college, there are so many good chances for you to meet your expectations. However, there is a very important difference between wanting to do something and applying for something. In order for you to take full advantageof the conferences, research, internships (实习),and fellowships that your university offers, apply! Step into your academic advisor’s office, introduce yourself, and begin making the valuable connections that are necessary to help during the rest of your college career. Great things happen when you step out of your comfort zone, and you would be surprised on how many chances exist if you just ask.

【3】

College is where you meet your bridesmaids, groomsmen, neighbors, and potential bosses. The relationships you develop now will probably be linked to the ones you value later, so be wise about the people who you invest yourself in. You are only one person, and you do not have time to waste on people who would rather cause drama or mess up with your purpose. Surround yourself with uplifting individuals who challenge you to be better while loving you for who you are, and be patient to the people who are the complete opposite of that description.

【4】

As a first-year, I was afraid to make any noise towards campus issues that I noticed. It was not until I became involved in student government that I gained the confidence to handle projects that I created with the help of ASUCR Office of the President. During my first quarter, I spoke directly to the Chancellor (校长), asking him for support towards my initiatives (提议), met with the Vice Chancellors, and cooperated with my teaching assistants to begin my undergraduate research protect. Nothing good will happen when you are silent.

【5】

At my high school, there were about only four active club and organizations that students could be a part of. Imagine my surprise when I stepped foot onto UCR’s campus, where over 400 organizations exist, ranging from political organizations to karate club. You are not paying all of your tuition(学费)to merely go to class, study,pass tests and graduate. Make something worthy out of your experience. Create stories that you will want to tell your grandchildren one day. It all begins here, by signing up to join an organization.

22、Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce(弹跳) back.

But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?

Don't look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.

Don't let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.

Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Don't be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going.

Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily.

Don't use time or words carelessly. You can't get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery(秘密), and today is a gift; that's why we call it "the present". Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.

【1】The sentence "Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying." means "_______."

A. Nothing is possible

B. If we don't give up, there is always hope

C. You should learn to give up

D. Although you try, nothing will change

【2】If you run through life so fast, you will _______.

A. lose your own treasure that you can always carry easily

B. lose love by holding it too tightly

C. forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going

D. not be afraid of the difficulties

【3】According to the passage, which is the best title?

A. Nothing Is Impossible   B. Glass Balls Are Easy to Be Broken

C. Things You Can't Do   D. Treat Your Life in a Right Way

23、Desperate to help his 96-year-old mother to speak her mother tongue again，Keith McDermott made an appeal on social media and was met with a flood of kind responses．The old lady，Ray，was moved to tears after talking on the phone with one of the enthusiastic respondents in Welsh．

Ray moved to America after meeting her husband when she was only 18，hence waving goodbye to her life in Wales．She continued to speak Welsh with her mum - keeping a little bit of home．But she lost her beloved mum four decades ago and hadn't spoken Welsh ever since．

Despite suffering from short-term memory loss and sometimes not remembering what she has done recently，Ray's childhood memories in Wales remain clear．“She wants to return but I know，given her age，such long-distance travel is out of the question．” said Keith，“Once she mentioned ‘I wish I could speak Welsh again but I suppose I never will．’ It was then that I thought I should make her wish happen．”

So Keith，70，posted on social media in the New York Welsh area asking for any Welsh speakers that could speak Welsh with his mum．And he was touched，as well as a little shocked，to receive over 30 responses within half an hour．Keith thanked everyone and eventually asked Melisa to give his mum a phone call．“Speaking with Melisa，her（Ray's）Welsh was a little rusty．A few more Welsh conversations and I think she'd be fluent again，” added Keith．

“When you have a parent in their nineties，you will find you two have something in common：you're both old，so I am very sympathetic to my mother's feelings of loneliness and isolation（孤立）．I'm feeling it myself．” Keith hopes to set up more Welsh phone conversations for his mum and Melisa has promised to send Ray some short stories in Welsh to remind her of her life in Wales．

24、These days, football is one of the most popular sports in the world. Given that Neil Armstrong wanted to take a football to the Moon, we could even say that it is also the most popular sport out of this world! The history of the game goes back over two thousand years to Ancient China. It was then known as cuju (kick ball), a game using a ball of animal skins with hair inside. Goals were hung in the air. Football as we know it today started in Great Britain, where the game was given new rules.

That football is such a simple game to play is perhaps the basis of its popularity. It is also a game that is very cheap to play. You don’t need expensive equipment; even the ball doesn’t have to cost much money. All over the world you can see kids playing to their hearts’ content with a ball made of plastic bags.

Another factor behind football’s global popularity is the creativity and excitement on the field. It is fun enough to attract millions of people. You do not have to be a fan to recognize the skill of professional players or to feel the excitement of a game ending with a surprising twist.

What’s more, football has become one of the best ways for people to communicate: it does not require words, but everyone understands it. It breaks down walls and brings people together on and off the field.

“Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, ...” said Bill Shankly, the famous footballer and manager. “I can tell you with certainty it is much, much more important than that.” This might sound funny, but one only has to think about the Earth to realize that our planet is shaped like a football.

【1】What can we know from paragraph one?

A．Some people like to play football on the Moon.

B．The game called cuju was given new rules today.

C．Cuju is different from football as we know it today.

D．Many people like playing a ball made of plastic bags.

【2】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．Football is round.

B．Football is more than just a sport.

C．Our planet is shaped like a football.

D．What Bill Shankly said sounds funny.

【3】What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A．To talk about the history of football.

B．To express his/her love of football.

C．To explain why football is such a popular game.

D．To prove that he/she is a professional football fan.

25、Watson entered Mr. Smith’s office. The boss was a(n) _________ man. He fired people who didn’t do well without giving them a second chance.

“Watson,” said Mr Smith, “this past year your department hasn’t earned money. We’re going to _________ that department. It’s finished. I’m sorry — but you’ll have to _________ .” “But, sir-if I just had a little more time. For the moment I need the _________ to keep my son at Riverside School.”

“What’s that!” said the boss. “Riverside! I didn’t know you had a boy there. That’s a(n) _________ school for a man with your salary.”

“I know, sir. But he likes it so much! He’s a star trackman and the best boxer in the school. The boys call him Champ there.”

The boss sat perfectly still for a long time-a faraway look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, he said, “We’ve got to close your department, Watson. But you’ll _________ a new job in another department. It means longer hours — maybe more _________ . Now get out. You’re here for life.”

Watson got out with _________ in his face. Then the boss _________ a letter from the top drawer of his desk. It was Herbie’s last letter from Riverside School-written a few days before he died. He had read it over and over again. The letter __________ :

I can’t say the boys here are any __________ than the others were. I guess it’s the same everywhere when you’re a cripple (跛子). But don’t worry about me, Dad. They’ve got a good __________ department here. And in my class there’s one boy who is really __________ . He’s a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry. The boys call him Champ. He __________ them stop throwing my books around. And he knocked a boy down who hit me. He is the best__________ I ever had. Dad, when I grow up, I want to do something for Champ. Something big-that he won’t even know about.

Your son,

Herbie

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为 150 左右。

A. J. shut the door of the truck. “Ready,” he said. His dad started the truck. It was six o’clock and freezing, but the strong morning sun promised warmer temperatures. It had been colder than normal over the past week, and the ground and ponds were already frozen.

“After we check on the cows,” Dad said, “you should have some time to practice roping cattle.” A. J. wanted to enter the rodeos (牛仔竞技表演) in which cowboys rode wild horses, and caught cattle with ropes.

The best professionals could break from the gate on horseback, rope a calf (小牛), and hog-tie (捆绑) the calf (牛犊) in less than ten seconds. So far, A.J. needed nearly a minute and a half, but he’d only been at it for a few months.

The truck bounced down the dirt road. In a few minutes, they passed through the field gate.

A. J. pulled a pair of telescopes (望远镜). The black spots of cows on the far hill took shape. The cows gathered around the pond. A. J. guessed they wanted the water locked under the ice. Suddenly, they heard extremely frightened shouts from one cow. Dad stopped the truck, and he and A. J. stared at the frozen pond anxiously.

A calf lay on the ice in the middle of the pond. A cow, no doubt the calf’s mother, stood onshore, shouting desperately. The calf struggled to get up but slipped and fell each time.

The morning sun seemed warmer. Too warmer. A. J. knew that the situation was urgent. If the calf lay there too long, she could fall through the ice and drown. Dad eased the truck down the hill and stopped at the edge of the pond. “No telling how long she’s been there,” he said. “The ice could be about to melt. I don’t think we can risk it.” Dad shook his head, “It’s just not safe.”

注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；

2. 开头已给出。

Paragraph 1:

A. J. watched the calf, whose eyes were wide with fear.

Paragraph 2:

It would be just like rodeo practice, A. J. thought, trying to stay calm.
