Ⅲ.阅读理解
If you could see a movie of your life before you lived it, would you want to live it? Probably not. The excitement of living is that you don't know what's coming.
Sure, it's hard to see the uncertainty (不确定性) in such a positive light when you're out of work, or when you feel like you're failing. But the uncertainty is really another word for the opportunity.
When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had opportunities all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do. She took a job in consulting but she knew she wouldn't stay there. She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income by teaching students. Still, she didn't think she wanted to go to graduate school. Allison knew she wasn't doing what she wanted, but she didn't know what she wanted.
She worried. All her friends were going to graduate school or started their own business. She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out.
After six years, many of her friends who went directly to professional (职业的) school had crises when they graduated because they weren't sure if they had picked the right profession. And Allison, by having a general plan in mind, got married, moved to the Midwest, and used her consulting experience to get a great job.
Allison realized that her years spent being lost were actually just a period during which she was finding her way: time well spent, and time we must all take if we're being honest with ourselves.
The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainties and make choices. Otherwise your life is not your own — it is a path someone else has chosen. Moments of uncertainty are when you create your life, when you become who you are.
Uncertainties usually begin with a job hunt, but they don't end there. Every new role we take on means another round of uncertainty. Instead of fearing them, we are supposed to find some new ways to deal with uncertainties.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇议论文。文章旨在说明生活中的不确定性对我们来说也是机遇。

If you've ever 2 a mountain, you know it's a physical challenge, 3 when you're carrying your food and shelter on your back. When campers got 4 ,they certainly started complaining.

“I can't go any further.”
“My 5 is too heavy. Can you carry it for me?”

No one likes a complainer. They're 12 and they hurt the group. Complaining makes life 13 for everyone. Instead, if you determine to master your own 14 ,to move past it and focus on a 15 ,it's my experience that you'll realize it wasn't bad in the first place.
