1 / 5 UNIT 3 课时检测（五） “Extended reading”的课文习读环节 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Almost two years ago, I stood on a dormitory balcony (宿舍阳台), joined hands with my three closest friends and listened to one of them tell a story about four girls with different backgrounds and gifts who left home and went to college at a place called Happy Valley. After we left our friend's apartment that last night of our freshman year, we ended up on the lawn, playing frisbee (飞盘游戏) and sitting on the dormitory steps talking for hours. Alisa, Karen, Gabriolle and I had spent that day together just being freshmen — going to the sandwich shop for the last lunch of the term, trying on each other's clothes, watching movies and acting like we would never see each other again. For freshmen, and especially for us, saying goodbye at the end of the first year can feel like saying goodbye forever. My advice to any freshmen is to cherish those moments. You may grow completely apart from the people you spent your first year with. Even if you have almost forgotten your freshman year roommates two years later, you can never replace that year and the completely new feeling that your first year of college brings. We learned more outside the classroom than we learned inside it. That dormitory is where we learned the lessons of our freshman years. I think the main lesson I learned was what true friendship is. The story Alisa told on that balcony is far from over. I sometimes wonder if the following is how it will end: “... and those four little girls grew up and realized their dreams. They found themselves all over the country, from farms, to cities, doing everything they wanted to do — a computer technician, a physician, a lawyer, and an architect. And occasionally they would make it back to reunions at that valley and see their friends, laughing about the good times.” 语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者回忆了大学第一年即将结束时与好友共同度过的美好一天，并告诫其他大学新生要珍惜大学一年级发展的友谊。 1．Why did the author stand on a dormitory balcony?
