I have a very friend who had totally changed after that his wife came down with an acute (严重的) illness. He cooked by himself for the family and took a walk with his wife every day. Nonetheless（但是）, his wife still did not to conquer the illness and passed away after three months. After that, he often sighed miserably that due to his past busy life, he had a lot of beautiful time with his wife. But now, it is to make up for it.

Nevertheless, tomorrow is actually reliable. There was a famous Buddhist monk (修道士) saying that in many people’s lives, they have only done two things: waiting and . The result is that they were always too late to cherish they had before they lost it.

Along with more than 300 other seniors, I marched into the stadium on the afternoon of May 10. The audience burst into deafening cheers, whistling and clapping.
It was as if a Hollywood superstar had walked on stage. And indeed, every single senior that day was a star of the once-in-a-lifetime moment—the commencement.
Seated, I waited anxiously for the opening address. As a foreign exchange student, I was not able to receive a diploma. However, I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things. Like the other graduates, I was dressed in marron cap and gown(方帽长袍).
Our principal, Mr. Glover, delivered a short, warm greeting. The US national anthem followed and then, hands on chests, a solemn Pledge of Allegiance(对美国的忠孝宣誓).
Students who had excelled academically gave farewell speeches. Then came the core (核心) of the commencement. Hundreds of names were announced. Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal. From the different cheers each graduate got, we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest.
To be honest, the presentation of diplomas got boring. But it wasn’t boring for those receiving the diploma: they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives.
A new page in the book of that person’s life had turned. They were glimpsing their futures: futures of challenge, hardship, perhaps loneliness too, which would take all of their courage.
小题1:What’s the article mainly about?| A．An American high school’s graduation ceremony. | | B．The opening ceremony of a sports meeting. | | C．A presentation of college diplomas. | | D．A US college’s farewell party. |

Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “ being a writer” and “ writing”. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a computer. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”
The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the US Coast Guard to become a free writer, I had no promise at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used computer and felt a real writer.
After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I know I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering. What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test--- even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
小题1:The passage is meant to _______.| A．warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience | | B．advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer | | C．show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to be after wealth and fame | | D．encourage young people to be after a writer career |
小题2:What can be concluded from the passage?| A．Real writers often find their work interesting and rewarding | | B．Writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort | | C．Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation（隔离） | | D．The chances for a writer to become successful are small |
小题3:Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?| A．He wasn’t able to produce a single book | | B．He hadn’t seen a change for the better | | C．He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year | | D．He found his dream would never come true |
小题4: “Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to _____. | A．thewonderlandonoftendreamsabout | | B．thebrightfuturethatoneislookingforwardto | | C．thestateofuncertaintybeforeone’sfinalgoalisreached | | D．aworldthatexistsonlyinone’simagination |
