my grandmother for the summer. my mom was extremely nervous about it. she kept telling me how things were different in puerto rico，to always put on sunscreen，not to wander away from my grandmother，and other warnings. she helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off. but despite her worries，she let me go on my own. as i moved into my teens，she continued to give me space to grow and learn，even when it might have been difficult for her. when i reached my senior year，i decided to move away for college. once again i found that i differed from my peers：while many of them wanted to stay close to home，i couldnt wait to be out in the world on my own. while my mom may not have been happy at the thought of my going away，she was supportive and excited for me. one big thing i realized during my senior year，as my mom granted me more freedom，was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. that means a lot. most of my life，and especially when i was little，the main person i tried to impress in my schoolwork or other things was my mother. i knew she expected nothing but the best from me. sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards；getting a single b on my report card would make me feel bad because i knew she wanted me to have all as. i know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on whats important，like education，and made me who i am. i am

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 planets 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 in addition, several writers sent me unpublished translations of their novels, giving me a rare opportunity to read works otherwise unavailable to the 62% of the british who only speak english.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. 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? 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 from_.a. americab. the ukc. australiad. canada24. which of the following words can best describe the authors experience?a. fast and effortless b. challenging but rewardingc. hopeless but beneficiald.

these days, friends and family have begun flooding me with one question: what is she going to do after graduation?the job market is, after all, awfully tough. just this month thefederal reservebank published a studyshowing that “recent graduates are increasingly working in low-paidjobsor working part-time.” the bright spot, according to the study, is for students who majored(主修) in stem science, technology, engineering and mathematics areas in which recent graduates “have tended to do relatively well”. but emma is a student of the humanities(人文) at a small college. shes an american studies major with a focus on the politics and culture of food. for quite a while, i think her field of study is so fashionable right now that im not the least bit worried she will find a good job.yet the more ive thought about it, the more ive decided to be honest. “im not sure what emma is going to do,” i now say. “but shes gotten a great education and has really found her interest. and i know those things will serve her well over the course of her life.”nowadays, more and moreuniversities and collegesare being measured by the salaries of their recent graduates. in this climate, encouraging your
