The excitement of living is that you dont know whats coming.Sure, its hard to see uncertainty(不确定) in such positive（积极的）light when youre out of work, or when you feel like youre failing. But uncertainty is really another word for chance.When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chances all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do. She took a job in consulting（咨询）, but she knew she wouldnt stay there. She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income（收入）by teaching students. Still, she didnt think she wanted to go to graduate school（研究院）. Allison knew she wasnt doing what she wanted, but she didnt know what she wanted.She worried. All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses. She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out. After six years, Allison, by having a general（全面的）plan in mind, got married, moved to the Midwest and used her consulting experience to get a great job. Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way: time well spent.The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty. Otherwise your life is not your ownit is a path someone else has chosen. Moments of uncertainty are when you create your life, when you become who you are.

Instead of fearing it, you should find some ways to deal with uncertainty.（1）From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that .A . being out of work is a sad thingB . uncertainty is what makes life interestingC . life in a film is more exciting than real lifeD . chance never appears when we need it（2）What troubles Allison after graduation?A .

Usually they do not shake hands when they just meet or say goodbye. But they shake hands when they havent met for a long time or when they will be away from each other for a long time.Last year a group of German students went to England for a holiday. Their teacher told them that the English people hardly ever shake hands. So when they met their English friends at the station, they kept their hands behind their backs.
