Instead of opening options up,I needed to shut them down.I had locked up three-quarters of my courses for the next four years,and I hadn't even gone to a single class.There was no one there to stop me.I would mope (in the back of those lectures,reading a novel behind my notebook, unaware of the fact that I was trying to tell myself something.I don't know exactly when things went wrong with my chosen course of study.By the time I realized that I should have been an English major,it was too late to make the switch.I ended up working in a tiny nonprofit that meant nothing to me,with no idea where I should go next.And then I happened to be visiting a friend in architecture school.She wasn't happy,either;her program was way too pretentious and theoretical.We were walking along and she said,"I have to get out of graduate school.And I immediately thought "I have to go to graduate school."Meaning,I'll never be happy until I give myself the chance to study English literature after all.Meaning,it's not too late-I'm not going to let it be too late.Everything was suddenly clear and calm.It wasn't easy getting in at that point.But for the first time in a long while,I performed at the top of my ability.I'd study for eighty hours a week and I had never been happier. 2 问题列表 40.What family factor(s)influenced the author's choice of major? 41.What did the author realize at college? 42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why.

were professors of engineering and science was the only horizon of possibility in his family. 41.He should have been an English major. 42.The false part is "because his friend persuaded him to do so".The author decided to go to graduate school because he realized he needed to study English literature and didn't want to let it be too late,not because his friend persuaded him. 43.We should follow our true interests when choosing a major,not just be influenced by others,and have the courage to pursue what we love even if it's late. 40.:His parents were professors of engineering and science was the only horizon of possibility in his family. 考点：细节理解题 语境逻辑：文中提到“My parents were professors of engineering.Science was the horizon of possibility in my family;nothing else counted or even existed.”,明确指出父母的职业以及家庭 中对科学的重视这一家庭因素影响了作者的专业选择。 41.答案：He should have been an English major. 考点：细节理解题 语境逻辑：根据“By the time I realized that I should have been an English major,it was too late to make the switch..”可知，作者在大学意识到自己本应该选择英语专业。 42.答案：The false part is "because his friend persuaded him to do so”.The author decided to go to graduate school because he realized he needed to study English literature and didn't want to let it be too late,not because his friend persuaded him. 考点：细节判断题 语境逻辑：文中朋友说“I have to get out of graduate school.”,，而作者是自己立刻想到“I have 7 to go to graduate school..”,是因为自己想给学习英国文学一个机会，不想让它太晚，并非朋友 说服。所以“because his friend persuaded him to do so”部分错误。 43.:We should follow our true interests when choosing a major,not just be influenced by others,and have the courage to pursue what we love even if it's late. 考点：主旨感悟题 语境逻辑：作者最初因家庭影响选择专业，后来意识到自己的兴趣所在并勇敢追求。从他的经 历中我们学到选择专业应遵循自己的兴趣，不受他人过度影响，即使晚了也要有勇气追求所爱。
