I was saved from sin(罪过) when I was going on thirteen. But not really saved. It happened like this. There was a big revival(复活) at my Auntie Reed’s church. Then just before the revival ended, they held a special meeting for children, “to bring the young lambs to the fold(羊栏)”. My aunt spoke of it for days ahead. That night I was accompanied to the front row and placed on the mourners’ bench with all the other young sinners, who had not yet been brought to Jesus.
My aunt told me that when you were saved you saw a light, and something happened to you inside! And Jesus came into your life! And God was with you from then on! She said you could see and hear and feel Jesus in your soul. I believed her.
So I sat there calmly in the hot, crowded church, waiting for Jesus to come to me. I wanted to see him, but nothing happened to me. Nothing! I wanted something to happen to me, but nothing happened.
Now it was really getting late. So I decided that maybe to save further trouble, I’d better lie and say that Jesus had come, and get up and be saved. So I get up. The whole room broke into a sea of shouting and my aunt threw her arms around me. The minister took me by the hand and led me to the platform.
That night I cried. I cried, in bed alone, and couldn’t stop. My aunt woke up and told my uncle I was crying because the Holy Ghost had come into my life, and because I had seen Jesus. But I was really crying because I couldn’t bear to tell her that I had lied, that I had deceived everyone in the church, that I hadn’t seen Jesus, and that now I didn’t believe there was a Jesus any more, since he didn’t come to help me.

Africa is no longer the continent of apparently endless conflict, hunger, disease and dictatorship(专制) that have filled people’s brain for decades. Despite the obvious challenges---the outbreak of Ebola in West Africa, the threat from terrorists in Nigeria----Africa’s major new tendency is of a continent on the rise.
According to the World Bank, sub-Saharan Africa’s GDP growth rate of 5% over the past 15 years---almost double the global average—is expected to continue well into the next decade. Consulting film A. T. Kearney predicts that by 2040 sub-Saharan Africa would be “ the biggest, fastest, strongest and the most attractive region for retain in the world.”
But the fruits of Africa’s success, if not managed well, could damage this great economic and political awakening. Greater prosperity has meant Africans are living longer and healthier. At the same time, the birthrate remains high, at an average of 5.2 births per woman in Africa, compared with 1.6 in Europe and 2.1 in Asia. The young ages 15-24 make up about 37% of Africa’s labor force but occupy 60% of the continent’s total jobless, and a quarter of all young people haven’t received any education, according to a 2011 report from the African Development Bank.
The young could be the engine that drives Africa for good or it could be its downfall if they deny education and opportunities. The World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab reminded Africa that 18 million jobs will have to be created every year just to accommodate Africa’s current job seekers.
What is also required is great investment in both education and employment, so that the young can start building businesses and developing the technologies to provide opportunities for the coming boom generation. They deserve the chance to live without the chaos and conflict that once haunt the continent for years.
1.What is the main idea of the first two paragraphs?
A. A new Africa is appearing and developing
B. Sub-Saharan Africa’s economy is on the rise
C. The outbreak of Ebola threats Africa seriously
D. The threat of terrorists in Africa is increasing quickly
2. When it comes to population, Africa isn’t suffering from the fact that __________.
A. the birthrate remains high
B. the aging process speeds up
C. unemployment threats the youth
D. poor education characterizes the young
3. The underlined word “accommodate” in Paragraph 4 probably means “__________”.
A. train and organize
B. satisfy and arrange
C. attract and make use of
D. provide food and clothes
4. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Africa’s economy boom will continue
B. Controlling the birthrate is people’s top concern
C. The African young will live without chaos and conflict
D. Africa should attach importance to protecting and supporting the young

Homesickness
Only a person far away from home and knows what happiness is.
It is the welling-up tears in your eye, the lump in your throat, and the waving hands when the train is drawing out of the station and take you away from home. It is the strength which you walk several miles to your home with heavy bags in your hands after a long tired trip and the excitement at the doorstep.
It is the sudden delight of closeness what strikes you when you meet a person from a same town, or even a stranger who has just been there.
It is the fear of sing “Home, Sweet home” in case of a burst of tears. It was the whisper of “Mummy” in dreams.
So warm a word is home, and so a sweet sadness is homesickness.

Wrong Reasons for Going to College
A college education can be priceless. 1. If any of these following factors had a big influence on your decision, you’re probably right to second-guess yourself.
Because all your friends are going.
In only a few weeks’ time, the whole friend group will be scattered to a half dozen different colleges in a half dozen different places. Not to go will set yourself apart. 2.
Because someone else expects it from you.
Perhaps you come from a family where everyone goes to college. Or maybe, you’re the kid that everyone is proud to believe will be the first to get there. 3. . It’s become so much a part of the air you breathe that you’ve never stopped to consider whether you want to go or whether you’re ready to go.
4.
It’s been tough to find even a summer job. You don’t have an alternative plan. Everyone else is doing it(see above). You think you might as well go to school. That is the lamest(无说服力的) of reasons to spend $20,000 or more in the next year.
Because you are afraid you’ll regret it if you don’t go.
Your uncle tells you that his one regret in life is that he didn’t go to college. Others tell you that they could have gone so much farther in their career if only they had a college education. 5. So this is not a persuasive reason for you to go to college.
A. Because you don’t want to work.
B. Friends will wonder what’s wrong with you.
C. Because you don’t know what else to do.
D. Everyone seems more excited than you are.
E. It seems that for years everyone has just assumed that of course you’ll go.
F. Whatever the story is, there are always people who regret decisions they’ve made.
G. But maybe in your heart you know that you are going for the wrong reasons.
