7．When I first entered college，I was afraid that I was not"up to it"．I was afraid of being away from my family for the first time．Here I would have to make friends with strange people and perhaps also compete with them for grades in courses I would take．Were they smarter than I was？Could I keep up with them？Would they accept me？
I soon learned that my life was now up to me．I had to set a study program if I were to succeed in my courses．I had to regulate the time I spent in my study and socializing．I had to decide when to go to bed，what to eat，and with whom to be friendly．These questions I had to answer for myself．
At first，life was rough．I made mistakes in how I used my time．I also made mistakes in how I chose my first friends in college．Shortly，however，I had my life under control．I managed to get myself to class on time，do my homework and hand them in，and pass my first exams with satisfying grades．In addition，I developed a circle of friends with whom I felt comfortable and could share my fears．I set up my own routine，one that really met my needs．
As a result，I began to look upon myself from a different perspective （视角）．I began to see myself as a person responsible for myself and responsible for my friends and family．It felt good to make decisions and see them turn out to be wise ones．I guess this is what people call"growing up"．
What did life have in store for me？At that stage in my life，I was really uncertain where I would go and what I would do with the years ahead of me．But I knew I would be able to handle what was ahead because I had successfully overcome the major problem in my life：I had made the change from a person dependent on his family to a person who was responsible for himself．

6．As a boy I was always small for my age．I was also five years younger than one of my brothers and seven years younger than the other．As a result I often felt left out when their friends came over to play．I was either too small or too young for whatever they were doing and they didn't want their younger brother listening in on their conversations either．More often than not I found myself outside playing alone and feeling forgotten．
I remember one spring afternoon feeling especially lonely as I sat in the yard behind our house．We lived miles from town and I rarely saw my own friends outside of school．I heard my brothers laughing from inside the house and felt a single tear coming down my cheek．At that moment I saw a large brown dog walking over to me．He looked happy and his tail was wagging as well．Even though he didn't know me he greeted me like a long lost friend，licking my chin and sitting beside me on the spring grass．It must have been at least an hour that I petted and talked to this four-legged angel．He let me pour out all my troubles and share my deepest thoughts before he kissed my cheek goodbye and ambled off either to Heaven or his home．I went back inside feeling happy，knowing that no matter what life may hold I was loved．Now over 40years later I still remember that angel with a smile．
I believe that God sent him in that moment of sadness to remind me just how much he loved me．There is nothing more important than knowing we are loved．When we are loved，we will learn to love others．Learning to love helps us to understand ourselves and other people better．

4．A couple of years ago，I learned this lesson．That day，I took a taxi to Grand Central Station．We were driving in the right lane when，all of a sudden，a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us．The taxi driver slammed（猛踩）on his brakes and missed the other car'S back end by just inches!
The driver of the other car，the guy who almost caused a big accident，got out of his car and started yelling bad words at us．The taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy．And I mean he was friendly．So，I said，u Why did you just do that？This guy almost mined your car and sent us to the hospital!"That was when my taxi driver told me what I now call：the law of the garbage truck．
Many people are like garbage trucks．They run around full of garbage，full of frustration，full of anger，and full of disappointment．As their garbage piles up，they need a place to dump it，and ii you let them，they'11 dump it on you．When someone wants to dump their problems on you，don51take it personally．Just smile，wave，wish them well，and move on．You'11 be happy at what you did．
I started thinking：how often do I let garbage trucks run right over me？And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people？That day I said，"I'm not going to do that anymore．"
What about you？What will happen in your life if you let more garbage trucks pass you by？Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets．

3．While Andrew was getting ready for work one Friday morning，he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise．All day Andrew felt nervous and anxious as he thought about the upcoming showdown．What if Mr．Larchmont refused to grant his request？Andrew had worked so hard in the last 18 months and landed some great accounts for Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency．Of course，he deserved a wage increase．
The thought of walking into Larchmont's office left Andrew weak in the knees．Late in the afternoon he was finally courageous enough to approach his superior．To his delight and surprise，the ever frugal Harvey Larchmont agreed to give Andrew a raise!
Andrew arrived home that evening-despite breaking all city and state speed limits-to a beautiful table set with their best china，and candles lit．His wife，Tina，had prepared a delicate meal including his favorite dishes．Immediately he figured someone from the office had tipped her off!
Next to his plate Andrew found a beautiful lettered note．It was from his wife．It read："Congratulations，my love!I knew you'd get the raise!I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you．I am so proud of your accomplishments!"He read it and stopped to reflect on how sensitive and caring Tina was．
After dinner，Andrew was on his way to the kitchen to get dessert when he observed that a second card had slipped out of Tina's pocket onto the floor．He bent forward to pick it up．It read："Don't worry about not getting the raise!You do deserve one!You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you just how much I love you even though you did not get the increase．"
Suddenly tears swelled in Andrew's eyes．Total acceptance!Tina's support for him was not conditional upon his success at work．

1．I used to think of myself as a fairly open person，but my bookshelves told a different story．Apart from a few Indian novels and the Australian and South African book，my literature collection consisted of British and American titles．Worse still，I hardly ever read anything in translation．My reading was limited to stories by English-speaking authors．
So，at the start of 2012，I set myself the challenge of trying to read a book from every country in a year to find out what I was missing．As I was unlikely to find publications from nearly 200 nations on the shelves of my local bookshop，I decided to ask the planet's readers for help．I created a blog called A Year of Reading the World and put out an appeal for suggestions of titles that I could read in English．
The response was amazing．Before I knew it，people all over the planet were getting in touch with ideas and offers of help．Some posted me books from their home countries．Others did hours of research on my behalf．In addition，several writers sent me unpublished translations of their novels，giving me a rare opportunity to read works otherwise unavailable to the 62% of the British who only speak English．Even so，selecting books was no easy task．With translations making up only around 4.5 percent of literary works published in the UK and Ireland，getting English versions （版本）of stories was difficult．
But the effort was worth it．I found I was visiting the mental space of the storytellers．These stories not only opened my mind to the real life in other places，but opened my heart to the way people there might feel．
And that in turn changed my thinking．Through reading the stories shared with me by bookish strangers around the globe，I realised I was not alone，but part of a network that spread all over the planet．
21．Which of the following might be found on the blog A Year of Reading the World？A
A．Lists of English version books
B．Research on English literature．
C．Unfinished novels by British writers
D．Comments on English literature．
22．Why was it hard for the author to select the right books to read？C
A．The author had a busy schedule．
B．The author was only interested in a few topics．
C．The author could only read books written in English．
D．Most books recommended are not available in local bookshops．
23．The author is probably fromB．
A．America      B．the UK       C．Australia        D．Canada
24．Which of the following words can best describe the author's experience？B
A．fast and effortless             
B．challenging but rewarding
C．hopeless but beneficial         
D．meaningful but fruitless．

20．At the age of 45 I decided to learn the English language．Not that I didn't know the language，but to improve my command over the language，I joined English academic classes close to my house．In one class，the instructor gave us a sheet of a hundred words and told us to write the opposite of each word as homework．At home I sat with that page but though I could manage the easy words quickly，for certain words I had to take the help of the dictionary．
Feeling relaxed and like an achiever，my new found enthusiasm forced me to explore some more words．Exploring the dictionary，for every word I found the opposite word （except all forms of nouns）．The entire night went on exploring words，but the night was not enough to complete the dictionary．I had enough time to hand in my homework，so the next day，after work once again I sat in through the night and started exploring opposite words from the dictionary．
The exercise was easy，but suddenly something struck my mind．Instead of finding the words which have opposite words，I should look for words that do NOT have any opposite word．After going through sleepless nights that week，I could not find a single word which doesn't have an opposite word．
This amazed me and forced me to conclude that without the opposite word the original word doesn't have its real meaning or value．In other words，every word is incomplete without its opposite．The conclusion forced me to think differently．Although many questions remained unanswered in my mind，the one thing I concluded was that these words are created by humans and every human possesses two qualities within himself，Positive and Negative．Similarly he created words with opposites．This proves that whatever we welcome in our life，we will also be welcoming the opposite of it．And at the end of the day we will complain about the negative forces surrounding us，making us weak，dull，pessimistic（悲观） and so on…Isn't this strange？
