I lived a casual life, without caring about the future. I smoked, drank with friends and made girlfriends. Little did I realize that casualness would certainly lead to loss.Two years had passed and I was staring down a report card that highlighted FAIL in more than half the subjects. I didnt care, at least not until my dad found out about it. You see, I studied in India and unlike the United States where the students are expected to finance their own education, my dad financed me.Then came the day when my dad found out my habit of smoking. He lost his temper but he just told me, “Son, your allowance is cut in half from this moment on.” It hit me like a roundhouse kick from Bruce Lee. I was jolted(震摇) out of my bones! I couldnt prehend how to pay off the debts that I had accumulated in college. I owed everybody money: the grocery store, the bars, the restaurants, my friends, etc. I was living a life filled with credit.When I came back to college, I knew if I didnt change the way I lived my life I wouldnt be able to pay everybody off. So I decided to make some changes, drastic changes. I quitted smoking, cut off from my friends who led me down the wrong road, starting hanging out in libraries and reading my engineering books.One year later, I went from a miserable failure to a magna cum laude(优等成绩). Life was never the same again. This incident made me know that anything is possible if you take action and do something about it, however small or large. Even today it still motivates me when I feel that Im about to lose or give up. It reminds me that I can do it!24. Father decided to cut the authors allowance when he found his son .

Although Keats didnt receive much formal literary education, his own studies and passion brought him much success. Additionally, his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family, the young John didnt attend a private school, but went to a public one. His teachers and his familys friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his fathers death in the early 1800s, followed by his mothers passing away due to tuberculosis (肺结核), he began viewing life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.At around the age of 16, the teenager John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he might bee a doctor too. However, his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816, entitled O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written an entire volume of poetry, but was sharply criticized by a magazine. However, the negative response didnt stop his pursuit of rhythm.John Keats next work was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boys hope to overe the limitations of being human. Following Engymion, however, he tried something more narrative-based and wrote Isabella. During this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the “knowledge” associated with his poems. His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to bine all that he learned. However, a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy kept him from his work and eventually took his life in 1821.28.

What do we know from the passage?A. Endymion was about a real love story.B. Keats received little education at school.C. Keats once had a chance of being a doctor.D. In 1816 Keats spent two months writing a poem. 31. While pursuing his dream of being a poet at first, John Keats was _.A. impatient B. determined C. knowledgeable D. experiencedDA volcanic eruption in Iceland has sent ash across northern Europe. Airlines have stopped or changed the flights across the Atlantic Ocean, leaving hundreds of passengers stuck in the airports. Grimsvotn is one of the largest and most active volcanoes in Europe. What makes Grimsvotn different is that it lies under a huge glacier of ice up to 12 meters thick. The hot volcano heats up the ice above it, which then forms a layer of water between the glacier and the volcano. This layer of water puts pressure on the volcano, keeping it stable. As the water flows out from under the glacier, the pressure lifts. The lava from the volcano then es up to the surface. This is exactly what happens today. Now, airlines have to make changes to their flights so as not to fly through the clouds of volcanic ash. According to KLM, one of Europes biggest airlines, airplanes cannot go under the cloud or over it. Going through the cloud can result in ash getting stuck in the airplanes engines, causing damage to the plane.The eruption has also caused problems for animals in Iceland. The volcano left ash and sharp, glass-like rocks all over the countryside. Farmers are keeping their animals inside to stop them from eating ash-covered glass or the sharp object.32. What makes Grimsvotn different from other volcanoes?A. It lies under a huge sea. B. Its lava affects the airlines. C. It is the most active volcano.D. It is below a thick layer of ice. 33.What keeps Grimsvotn stable?A. The thick glacier. B. The water pressure.C. The slow flow of water. D. The low water temperature.34.
