To the mom I used to be:

Two years ago, you were happy and whole. You had a plan for life — start a new business, get involved in the Parent-teacher Association, teach your sons how to ride bicycles, spend as much time with your friends and parents as possible, watch your children mature and grow old with your husband. You were a “glass half full” person who often felt so much joy. You always looked forward, smiled and danced.

Two years ago, on December 14, 2012, the world changed and you changed with it. Disturbed young men with access to high-powered guns went to your sons’ school and killed six educators and twenty first-graders. Your eldest son Jake survived, but was changed by the day he discovered some monsters are real. He describes it as the day “when evils came to my school.” Your youngest son, Dylan, whom you thought of as a pure love, with his charming eyes and infectious giggle(微笑)，was killed. Shot multiple times, he died instantly in the arms of his special-education assistant who also died while trying to protect him.

The tragedy changed all your life, not only because of losing your child, but because of the hole inside you that can never be filled. Your eldest son has been forced to grow up too fast because of the loss of his brother. The pain has altered the lines on your husband’s face. The way you look at the world has changed. Your interactions with friends and family seem foreign.

… …

But the things have moved on with hopefulness. You are now someone far more realistic. You control your feelings because you fear if you really let it out, you would never recover. It would destroy you. You know what you should do is try everything to protect more children. You’re fighting a good fight, what the whole society really needs.

With love,

Nicole Hockley, Dylan’s mom

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Freshmen anywhere may be nervous about university life．Here, three pieces of advice are for them.

Listen but don't be silent

The world is held in students’ hand via smart phones. Thus, they may consider lecture listening less important. 1. It forces students to face the difficulties of training a deep attentiveness. Unsurprisingly, students find it hard to speak out, ask questions or for points of clarification. They don't want to appear foolish or incapable. However, there is no such thing as a foolish question. Teachers are there to help you understand. This also goes for seminars and workshops. 2.

Read and buy books

3. There're so many useful online sources today, but the habit of reading books, especially whole books, is something being lost. Buy your own books．There are many bargains to be found on used-book websites or through Amazon. Being a book lover and buyer will help any student get the most out of their education.

As a student, you don't just have to learn to listen and become an active reader: you also have to become an academic writer. Written work at college level cannot be done at the last minute or in a rush. It takes time. Turn to your teachers. If they will read draft essays then make sure you can get feedback（反馈） ahead of the final submission. 5.

Students who get feedback on their work always do better than those who do not. It is one of the few educational laws that holds true in all cases.

A. Don't try to do it all the night before.

B. However, a lecture is a listening workout.

C. Thinking clearly cannot be done in a rush.

D. So train your ear, listen carefully, but don't be silent.

E. Reading is the most important thing that any student does.

F. Re-writing has proved to be the turning point in one's degree.

G. If they won't read drafts, then see them to run through your ideas．
