It is not only time that we tend to underestimate...we don't account for unexpe:.d costs.We often imagine what can work in our (16)but we seldom think of all the (17)things that could affect us.

Career Prep Choose a major because it will prepare you for a specific career path or advanced study.Maybe you already know that you want to be a nurse,a day trader,or a web developer.Before you declare,take a class or two in the relevant discipline,check out the syllabus for an advanced seminar,and talk to students in the department of your choice.Make sure you're ready for the coursework required for the career of your dreams. Earning Potential Future earning potential is worth considering-college is a big investment,and while college can pay you back in many ways beyond salary,this can be a major factor for students who are paying their own way or taking out loans.According to PayScale.com,the majors that lead to the highest 2 salaries include just about any type of engineering,actuarial mathematics,computer science,physics, government,and economics.Keep your quality of life in mind,too-that six figure salary may not be worth it if you're not happy at the office. .Subjects You Love Some students choose a major simply because they love the subject matter.If you love what you're studying,you're more likely to fully engage with your classes and college experience,and that can mean better grades and great relationships with others in your field.If your calling is philosophy,don't write it off just because you're not sure about graduate school,or what the job market holds for philosophers.Many liberal arts majors provide students with critical thinking skills and writing abilities that are highly valued by employers. Undecided?Explore your interests. If you truly have no idea what you want to study,that's okay-many schools don't require students to declare a major until you are a second-year student.That gives you four semesters to play the field.Exploring your interests will help you find your best fit major-and maybe even your ideal career. 31.You don't need to feel fearful when choosing your major because A.your major has completely nothing to do with your future B.you are not limited to only one particular career for your whole life C.changing career fields are unavoidable in your life D.you only spend a little time on whatever subject you choose 32.What do we learn about from Para.3? A.Your college investment will be all given back to you in the form of high salary. B.Future career earning is viewed as the top concern for most college students. C.High salary will not be worthwhile at the cost of your unhappy office work. D.If you choose engineering-related majors,you are sure to earn high salary. 33.What can we infer from the passage? A.You are advised to choose liberal arts majors for what are provided. B.Worse grades result from poor relationships with others in college. C.Employers like liberal arts majors more than science majors in job market. D.Some students don't necessarily need to decide their choices of majors upon entering college. Decades ago,my friend Caetlin received a special assignment from the poet Robert L.Hass,who instructed each student to memorize three poems of their choosing from The Norton Anthology of American Literature-not for any urgent exam reason,he claimed,but instead to prepare them for their unavoidable future occasions when you're going to be alone,and poetry is going to be all you have. If the task was as a strange one,it's because the act of memorizing a poem feels curiously old-fashioned in an era when few of us encounter poetry at all.When I was in graduate school,working toward a degree in English literature,I mostly limited myself to essays.It was only in my 40s that I began to change my ways.It happened in a flight to Seattle.For hours,I read nothing else but a poem.Sometimes I spoke its lines aloud, my voice masked by the airplane's thrum.Sometimes I went through the whole poem at once,and sometimes I repeated a single stanza (over and over,and by the time my plane landed on the West Coast,I had the whole thing,all 40 lines of it,in my head.Because the process is as simple as it is very boring,memorizing a 3 great pocm always begins as a crime.The boredom of repetition reduces the great charm it has.But as you run your hands through the rock,the lines at last come together again,and the scattered text transforms back into a treasure. In other words,poetry survives continuously by becoming a part of those who read it.It can do so only because it is so specific,so entirely different from us,that taking it in expands our own sense of what we are. Some of the poems I've memorized are already fading,and that's fine.I know that if I spend a little time with them,they'll sing in me again.Others keep beating in me like a new pulse.I won't promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better,but it will make you more:more in touch with language,with other minds,maybe with what you might yet become. 34.Why did Robert L.Hass advise students to read poems? A.To become literature professors. B.To prepare for the coming exams. C.To compose more original poems. D.To relieve their future loneliness. 35.Why does the author say that memorizing a poem begins as a crime? A.It's out of date to recite poems. B.Repetition wastes a lot of time. C.Repetition ruins the poem's beauty. D.It's a shame to read poems on plane. 36.How does understanding poetry influence us? A.By broadening self-understanding. B.By refreshing our good memories. C.By helping us survive the hard life. D.By reminding us to forget the past. 37.What is the author's attitude towards memorizing poetry in the last paragraph? A.Doubtful. B.Reserved. C.Appreciative. D.Critical. C Who is a genius?This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries. Let's state clearly:Einstein was a genius.His face is almost the international symbol for genius.But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself.Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us?And who are they? In the sciences and arts,those praised as geniuses were most often white men,of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise.It's said that history is written by the victors,and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club.When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club-women,or people of a different color or belief-they were unacknowledged and rejected by others. A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six,girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender()are"really,really smart."Even worse,the study found that girls act on that belief:Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are "really,really smart." Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up?It doesn't take a genius to know the answer:absolutely not. Here's the good news.In a wired world with constant global communication,we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear.And the more we look,the more we will see that social factors( )like gender,race,and class do not determine the appearance of genius.As a writer says,future geniuses come from those with"intelligence,creativity,perseverance(),and simple good fortune,who are able to change the world.” 38.What does the author think of victors'standards for joining the genius club? A.They're unfair.B.They're conservative.C.They're objective. D.They're strict. 4 39.What can we infer about girls from the study in Science? A.They think themselves smart. B.They look up to great thinkers C.They see gender differences earlier than boys. D.They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs 40.Why are more geniuses known to the public? A.Improved global communication. B.Less discrimination against women. C.Acceptance of victors'concepts. D.Changes in people's social positions. 41.What is the best title for the text? A.Geniuses Think Alike B.Genius Takes Many Forms C.Genius and Intelligence D.Genius and Luck D "Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity,"said the American talk show host Oprah Winfrey. I've never watched her show,but when a self-made billionaire gives life advice it's probably worth listening to.Her point is that blind luck is very rare.You may have to be lucky to find a good job these days but that does not mean you should sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to you.If you're a Chinese,you may already be familiar with the tale of a farmer waiting by a tree stump for a rabbit to run out and break its neck. A book by the UK psychologist Richard Wiseman,called The Luck Factor,argues we can all make ourselves luckier.It's most about going to a temple to burn some incense in hopes that the gods will give you good fortune,but practical advice you can follow each day. Wiseman conducted an experiment as part of his studies.First he divided volunteers into two groups: those who said they were lucky in life and those who said they were not.He gave everyone a newspaper and asked them to look through it to count how many photographs it had inside.On average,the unlucky people took about two minutes to count the photographs while the lucky people took just seconds.Why?On the second page of the newspaper,a command,"Stop counting.There are 43 photographs in this newspaper,"was written in big letters.The unlucky people mostly did not spot the message. It's easy to compare this situation to a young person looking for jobs in a local paper.They might search so hard for one type of position that they miss an even better opportunity.People who are"lucky",in fact, keep an open mind and don't go through the same routine every day. In a word,try to turn bad luck into good.Even if you do fall down and break a leg,the time spent at home can be used wisely to study English. 42.Which of the followings most agrees with the writer's point? A.Success is for those who are prepared. B.Rome was not built in a day. C.All is not gold that shines. D.A good heart defeats ill fortune. 43.The writer quoted the Chinese tale of a farmer in order to show A.man can defeat mature B.luck is your own hand C.bad luck can turn into good D.never waiting for the chance to come 44.From the experiment Wiseman drew the conclusion that A.lucky people are quick-minded B.unlucky people are slow to read C.lucky people often have an open mind D.unlucky people are more creative 45.The underlined word“spot”（para.3)is the closest in meaning to“ _” A.Discover B.Mark C.Make D.Receive 5 第四节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）》 Wang Yi,who can't walk or even communicate normally,has written eight books with one movable finger.Wang was born with cerebral palsy in Jiangsu Province in 1989.Restricted to a wheelchair as she began to grow up,she even has difficulty eating and bathing.
