If youre going back to college after starting your career, think back to your best high school classes (e.g. Math, biology, history, etc.). This can help you identify your strengths and interests so you can narrow your list of possible university degree programs to a particular field of study.Prioritize(划分优先顺序) your career wants and needsFirst and foremost, a college major should be chosen based on your interest and career goals. However, it is not unmon for students to select their majors based on the careers of their parents or siblings(兄弟姐妹).If following in their footsteps is not right for the student, then it will likely lead to an unfulfilling education and career.When choosing a major, it is important to identify what aspects of a career are most important to you(money, creative freedom, helping people, working outdoors, etc.) Making a list of your top priorities will shed plenty of light on which degree or major is best for you. Also, talk to your parents and siblings about the choices they made and whether they think those majors and careers would be a good fit for you.Additional tips for choosing majorsSeeking outside advice, not just from family members, is always remended when choosing a college major. Talk with career counselors, high school teachers, guidance counselors and students who currently enrolled in a major you are interested in. Speaking to professors at universities or to professionals in the field can also give you a good idea of what you might expect from a career.There are also tests you can take that give an insight into career matches, dominant personality characters and key interests. While a test should not dictate your choices, it can offer you a new perspective on yourself and open your eyes to majors and career prospects you didnt consider.21. Where does the support for your particular field of study mainly e from?A. The college courses that you enjoy most.B. Every class in your high schoolC. The beginning of your careerD. Your best high school subjects22. The last two paragraphs are mainly to discuss_.A. advice from others and tests B. the careers of parents and siblingsC. suggestions from parentsD. professionals ideas about majors23. What would be the best title for the passage?A. My views on College EducationB. How to choose the Best College Major for youC. Learning to Challenge Career GoalsD. Offering You a New Perspective on Yourself B A little more than 30 years ago, a teenager named Jadav “Molai” Payeng began burying seeds along a barren sandbar(沙洲) near his birthplace in northern Indias Assam. Not long after that, he decided to dedicate his life to this effort, so he moved to the site in order that he could work full-time creating a new forest ecosystem. Unbelievably, the spot today hosts a sprawling(蔓延的) 1360 acres of jungle that Payeng single-handedly planted.The times of India recently caught up with Payeng in his remote forest cottage to learn more about how he came to leave such an unbelievable mark on the landscape.It all started way back in 1979, when floods washed a large number of snakes ashore on the sandbar. One day after the floods, Payeng, only 16 then, found the place dotted with the dead snakes. That was the turning point of his life.“The snakes died in the heat without any tree cover. I sat down and wept over their lifeless bodies. I asked the forest department if they could grow trees there. They said nothing would grow there. Instead, they asked me to try growing bamboo. It was painful, but I did it. There was nobody to help me. Nobody was interested,” says Payeng, now 47.While its taken years for Payengs remarkable dedication to planting to receive some well-deserved recognition internationally, it didnt take long for wildlife in the region to benefit from the forest. Demonstrating a keen understanding of ecological balance, Payeng even transplanted ants to his ecosystem to maintain its natural harmony. Soon the shadeless sandbar was transformed into a natural ecosystem. The forest, called the Molai woods, now serves as a safe habitat for numerous birds, deer, tigers and eleghants.Despite Payengs outstanding project, forestry officials in the region first learned of this new forest in xx, and since then theyve e to recognize his efforts as truly remarkable, but perhaps not enough.“ Were amazed at Payeng,” says Gunin Sailia, Assistant Conservator of Forests. “ He has been at it for 30 years. Had he been in any other country, he would have been made a hero.”24. Payeng moved to the barren sandbar to_A. make a living there B. plant trees to improve the environmentC. do some research D. look after the 1360 acres jungle25. It can be concluded that the interview in the report above was conducted in _A. 1979 B. xx C. xx D. xx 26. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Payeng got a lot of help from the forest department at the beginningB. It took quite a long time for Payengs dedication to be recognizedC. Payeng earned his fame by transplanting ants to his ecosystem.D. The Molai woods now is used as a zoo to attract India tourists.27. The underlined sentence implies that _A. Payeng should be honored as a great hero in India.B. Payeng has been a great hero in other countries C. other countries should not make Payeng a heroD. India made Payeng a hero earlier than other countries COne retired high school teacher in Canada has a great surprise for his former students that is 20 years in the making.In 1994, Bruce Farrers ninth grade English class at Bert Fox munity High School in Saskatchewan, got a special assignment, reported the National Post. Farrer asked his students to write a 10-page letter to their future selves, which he then promised to mail to them 20 years later.Farrer kept his promise to those students, as well as other students he taught during his more than 40-year career. “I was trying to think of some assignments that would be special, and it just sort of came up. Well, I would try this assignment,” Farrer said on CBC Morning Edition.Although Farrer retired in 2002, he took several boxes of the letters from his former students with him, and began the long and difficult process of tracking them down and mailing the letters.One former student, Scott Fulton, became a teacher himself and even taught for a while at the high school he went to as a teenager, according to CBC News. He got his letter last week. “I was just feeling honored and grateful,” Fulton said after receiving the handwritten letter.Another former student, DJ Anardi, got the letter from his past self about a month ago. It read “Hey, you good-looking guy, how is your life?” according to the National Post. Anardis letter said that he had a crush on the woman at the time who is now his wife.“I think our society now is a society of non-mitment,” Farrer said. “We say were going to do something, whether its in a marriage, or with our kids or maybe even with our organizations we join I think its important to have a sense of mitment, and maybe in a minor way, the kids see I value that.”28. Farrer promised his students that he would _. A. grade the assignments carefully B. write back to them sooner or later C. send their letters back in the future D. keep in touch with them all the time29. According to CBC News, Scott Fulton _. A. did well in his lessons at school B. often wrote to other classmates C. was very happy to work with Farrer D. used to be a teacher in his mother school30. The underlined phrase “had a crush on” (in Paragraph 6) probably means _. A. fell in love with B. took the place of C. caught up with D. broke away from31. If you make a mitment, you should _. A. help others often B. keep your promise C. join an organization D. make your kids satisfiedDAs I enter my 40s, Ive noticed many of my parents generation think social networking is something they are simply incapable of understanding. They fear that, should they try, they would somehow get it wrong; they would say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing or behave in a way that causes embarrassment. But heres the first secret of social media: Everyone feels this way.I recently met a young actress who plained that her work demands that she join microblog, but she always feels like she doesnt have anything smart to say. Its the same resistance I hear from the older generation, who, however, have somehow convinced themselves that age is the barrier, rather than the differences of individual taste.Heres the second secret of social media: everybody uses it for more or less the same reasons. The older generation often sign up to stay in touch with children and relatives. We consider this kind of contact as an old-fashioned activity, but it is exactly why younger people use social media. The truth is most people use social media to gently keep an eye on one another, to see how those they care about are doing without needing to ring them up on the phone every night.And this is the last secret of social media: everyone gets to use it their own way. Newers-the younger and the older- who worry about “getting it right” are assuming that theres a right way to get it. But actually there isnt. Personally, I talk a lot on microblog. And some people post nothing and they use social media every day as readers. Social media panies would rather see people filling their networks up with pictures and posts, but theres no rule against being a fly on the wall. Its also a fine way to engage.Were quick to forget that the web wasnt invented by 13-year-olds; it was created by todays seniors. Id never try forcing those with no interest on social networks to use microblog. But dont let the talk of age divides put you off. Theres nothing to stop the older generation from retaking the network their own generation created.32. Whats the authors purpose of writing this passage? A. To share with us his personal experience of using social media. B. To tell us a few secrets of social media that he discovered. C. To explain why the old generation dont use social media. D. To relieve the old generation from fearing using social media.33. The underlined words “a fly on the wall” in the 4th paragraph refer to _. A. a person who promotes reading online books B. a person who only watches others posts quietly C. a person who causes trouble to others D. a person who posts many pictures34. According to the author, which is a reason for old peoples fear of using social media? A. They believe that they may fall into embarrassing situations. B. They prefer to stay in touch with relatives in real life. C. They have no interest in social networking. D. They have no idea what to post online.35. Which of the following may best describe the structure of the passage?A. B. C. D. 第二节 (共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。（注：选项E在答题卡上涂AB; 选项F在答题卡上涂AC; 选项G在答题卡上涂AD）I would love to be happier, as Im sure most people would, so I thought it would be interesting to find some ways to bee a happier person.1.
