I major in Mechanical Engineering and Political Science.When someone hears what I study，I'm usually meant with two reactions.First up is a small smile with the word "overachiever" on the tip of their tongue.The second is a look of confusion，followed by an exaggerated （夸張的） "why？".The short answer：I want to be a problem solver，and engineering teaches me how to become that type of person.In addition，I also want to be able to look at the bigger picture.
It's the beginning of a new year，and a lot of first-years have plans for double or triple majors.However，as most of us quickly realize after that first fall semester，college is a lot!We are unavoidably forced to make choices - do we keep trying to make our double or triple majors work or do we completely switch gears？The thing I wished someone told me on day one is if you're passionate about something，it's not going to feel like work.Political Science can be challenging，but to me，it's fun to read the Constitution （憲法） and see the impact each word has on our interpretation.
This may sound hard to accept，but if you are double or triple majoring because you think you're in a race with your peers，you're only running yourself into the ground.Don't double or triple major if you are doing it for a mark on your resume （簡(jiǎn)歷），because then your life will be a living hell for the next four years.What is going to make you impressive is the passion that you have - whether it be in your study，career，or something else your career and study will enable you to do.
Always think about your "why" when it comes to the schedule a double or triple major entails.Because at the end of the day，it's going to be you doing the homework - so try to enjoy what you're doing along the ride for what it's worth.

1．Whenever I heard strangers singing out loud，whether it was in the supermarket or on the street，I used to think how annoying it was.That was until a few months ago.
Recently，my daughter Zoe started her second year of middle school with a new sense of awareness，asking me to fix the "little girl" pattern on her wheelchair seat.Not wanting her to stand out at school，I spent hours filling in pale yellow stars with a black marker，eager to erase whatever childish signs I could.Shortly after，Zoe got really sick and had to miss 20 days of school.This meant our days were filled with rushing between hospital appointments and meetings with the school，as we tried to make sure she didn't fall behind on her schoolwork.
I felt pulled back to a time when she was little and her sickness was a huge part of her life.Back then，it seemed like Zoe lived in hospitals，as she spent so much time in them.No matter how sick she got，however，she always had a positive attitude.But this was different：Zoe was no longer singing like she normally did.Zoe usually sings all the time，whether she's playing，riding in the car，or just doing her homework.There was no need for a radio in our house；Zoe provided the music for us.Consumed （被折磨）with my motherly worries， it was more concerning to me than her sickness.
One day，however，I heard her beautiful voice as I was cooking dinner.I stopped what I was doing and just smiled. "Pure delight. '' I thought to myself.Her voice slowly grew stronger，and soon，both the car and the house were filled with her music once more.How had I not noticed her singing had completely stopped，weeks and weeks ago？Now，thankfully，she's back in school，smiling and singing，and I'm thankful for each and every song she sings.
These days，whenever I hear a stranger singing a song to themselves，I don't get mad.Instead，I smile，as I know that by singing out loud，they're simply sharing their happiness with the world.

2．What do Harry Potter，Katniss Everdeen，and Frodo all have in common with the heroes of ancient myths？Joseph Campbell studied myths from all over the world and published a book called "The Hero with a Thousand Faces"，retelling dozens of stories and explaining how each represents the mono-myth，or Hero's Journey.So，what is the "hero's journey"？
He thinks of it as a cycle in his book.The journey begins with the hero receiving a mysterious message，an invitation，or a challenge.After crossing the threshold from his safe home to adventure，with some help probably from someone older，wiser，our hero solves a riddle，slays a monster，escapes from a trap.The hero's darkest hour then comes，when he faces death and possibly even dies，only to be reborn.As a result，the hero claims some treasure，special recognition，or power，which can vary between stories.After all that adventure，the hero returns to his ordinary world，but upgrades to a new level.Nothing is quite the same once you are a hero.
The Hero's Journey myth exists in all human cultures and keeps getting updated，because we humans reflect on our world through symbolic stories of our own lives.You leave your comfort zone，have an experience that transforms you，and then you recover and do it again.You don't literally slay dragons or fight Voldemort，but you face problems just as scary.Joseph Campbell said， "In the cave you fear to enter lies the treasure you seek."
What is the symbolic cave then you fear to enter？Auditions for the school play？Baseball tryouts？The paper due？
Watch for this formula in books，movies，and TV shows you come across.You will certainly see it again.Also be sensitive to it in your own life.Listen for your call to adventure.Accept the challenge.Conquer your fear and claim the treasure you seek.And then，do it all over again.
（1）What is the correct order of the following stages of the "Hero's journey"？
①Return to the ordinary world but outgrow his old life.
②Receive the call to adventure and assistance from a wiser.
③Set out on the adventure and go through a series of tough trials.
④Face the life-or-death crisis and be reborn with some special power.
A． ①②③④
B． ②④①③
C． ②③④①
D． ③②④①
（2）Why is Hero's Journey myth so popular？
A．Because it's a way to reflect on our world.
B．Because it's a way to learn about the past.
C．Because these stories are always being updated.
D．Because these stories are part of human culture.
（3）Which of the following may the author disagree with？
A．We all need a "cave" to hide in face of danger.
B．Our comfort zone will hinder our development.

D．We should overcome our fears faced with danger.
（4）Which of the following is a suitable title for the text？

3．Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse，according to the doctors.I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy，fatty foods，such as fried chicken and ice cream，at low prices.This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves.If there were fewer of these restaurants，then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight.I agree with this，because good eating habits begin early in life，long before children start to visit fast food shops.If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food，or are always allowed to choose what they eat，they will go for sweet and salty foods every time，and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation.Children these days take very little exercise.They do not walk to school.When they get home，they sit in front of the television or their computers and play video games.Not only is this an unhealthy pastime（消遣），it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food.What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem，and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active，as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
（1）According to the text，what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food？
A．Those who often do sports.
B．Those who often walk to school.
C．Those who often watch television.
D．Those who often have meals at home.
（2）What does the underlined word "steering" in the last sentence most probably mean？
A．Moving.
B．Forcing.
C．Driving.
D．Guiding.
（3）The main purpose of the text is to.
A．tell a story
B．provide facts
C．give advice
D．compare opinions發(fā)布：2024/11/10 12:30:2組卷：8引用：1難度：0.7
