cai kaiyuan, 21, made a different choice. as a graduation gift to himself, he decided to work as a volunteer teacher in a remote village in tibet.cai, a senior majoring in electrical engineering at huan railway professional technology college, originally planned to cycle from sichuan to tibet. during his journey, cais idea for a different graduation gift to himself began to take shape. “i did not know beforehand what the journey would mean to me. i just want to gain a unique experience and have pleasure in appreciating the view there,” he said.it turned out cycling on a plateau was extremely challenging. and it has kept changing his outlook on life. cais fingers even became frostbitten while cycling up a 5008-meter-high mountain, where temperatures often dropped to 18 below zero. at night, the ice covered the road and he fell off his bike three times. the lack of oxygen made him feel dizzy and weak. “at the most serious moment, i felt that my life was on the line,” said cai.however, he also gained something unexpected. at yaan, a city in sichuan, he met a group of tourists who are also university students. a girl called wu ling told him that she planned to work as a teacher in a primary school in tibet after her journey. he was impressed by the idea as she looked slender and weak.it was not until he reached a family-run hotel in shigatse that cais spirits began to rise. the hotel managers two daughters enjoyed talking with him. the kids asked about his experiences on his trip, and showed him the beautiful local lakes. “they told me that they always liked to talk to guests, as they wanted to improve their mandarin,” he said, “their parents and many locals can only speak tibetan.”cai was touched by the girls story. their situation is tough and the local people have little chance to learn mandarin because the schools are short of teachers. “i want to do something to improve the situation for kids like them,” said cai. his parents finally gave their agreement and his teachers also supported him.26. according to the passage, cai kaiyuans graduation gift to himself is _.a. to have money for a deposit on a house b. to travel by cycling from sichuan to tibet c. to own a new car and marry a slender girl d. to work as a volunteer teacher in tibetan school27. what words can be used to describe cais journey to tibet?a. unique and pleasant b.

and bustle of a few weeks, excitement gives way to a less enjoyable emotion homesickness.homesickness manifests itself in many ways. you may miss mums cooking, your pets, or even your old bed. all this becomes a fond memory of the past. homesickness can be a bitter feeling for many students, especially when faced with the challenges of settling into an unfamiliar environment.but remember, youre

return home, “nostos” from greek, and the accompanying pain, “algos”.studies in recent years, however, have shown that nostalgia may have some benefits to our mental health. after a decade of surveys and researches, constantine sedikides, a us social psychologist, found that nostalgia is what makes us human. he explains that nostalgia can resist loneliness, boredom and anxiety. therefore, its necessary for college students to learn some ways to overcome the uncomfortable feeling.31. from the first two paragraphs, we can infer that _.a. homesickness means a fond memory of the pastb. only a

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 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. meaningful but fruitless【参考答案】21-24 acbb【河北省邯郸市2014一模试题】bmy oldest child, emma, just returned to campus after a long holiday break to finish up her last period of college.

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, encou
