25、It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War 3. She’ll talk about my not very bright future because I don't plan to be a doctor, and much to her disappointment, I don't want to do any job related to science, either. In fact when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.

“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s(同事) son?” she bemoans all the time. Her co-worker's son received a four-year scholarship(奖学金) and is now making 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don't know what to answer except that I just can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker's son. I can't be like him. I am the type of the person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of honor or money.

I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her little money and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am. And usually comes home around 5 pm. or even 6 pm. However, I want her to know that if I become a doctor, it doesn't mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

26、   It was a warm April day when a big fat envelope came in the mail from the only college I had ever imagined attending. My eyes were fixed on the word "congratulations". I don't remember ever smiling so wide.

Then I looked at my financial (财政的) package. The cost of Dream School's tuition (学费), room and board was around $ 40,000-an impossible number! How could I afford to attend? What good reasons did I have to go there when three other fine colleges were offering me free tuition? My other choices were good, even if they weren't as famous as my first choice.

In my mind, attending my dream university would be the only way to realize my dream of becoming a world-class writer. My parents understood how I felt. They told me that even though it would be a financial problem, I could go wherever I would be happiest. But as I was always careful with money, I wasn't sure what to do.

One of the schools that offered me a full ride had an informational dinner one night in the spring. Considering my parents' difficulties, I decided to drive the 45 minutes and attend. At first, all I had planned to do was smile politely, eat free food, listen quietly. But I surprised myself.

At dinner the president of the university talked about the wonderful activities at school including guest lectures and social gatherings. He also made it perfectly clear that free food would be offered at all future events. He continued with explanations of professors, class sizes, activities, and sporting events at school. As he spoke, I began to realize that this school, though not as good as my first choice, might be the best one for me. It seemed small yet with many great programs. It seemed challenging yet caring.

After that I walked out that door, a feeling of comfort washed over me. Looking at the campus that night, I realized that I would be spending the next four years right there.

In all honesty, my university is not as well-known as my "dream" university. However, it turned out to be the right choice of schools for me.

【1】How did the author feel when he started to read the letter?

A.He was full of joy. B.He was lost in his dream.

C.He was worried about the money. D.He was uncertain which school to go to.

【2】We learn from the passage that the parents were _____.

A.honest B.strict C.supportive D.cruel

【3】The underlined phrase "offered me a full ride" can be replaced by "_____".

A.would pay for transport to the school B.would show me around the campus

C.would offer free meals at all events D.would charge me nothing for tuition

【4】What does the author mainly want to say?

A.Your second-choice college may actually be your best fit.

B.You should consider comfort in your choice of schools.

C.You should try your best to attend your dream school.

D.Your choice of schools should be based on their fame.

【5】Which is the best title of the reading?

A.Dream School B.A Wise Choice

C.A Wise President D.Free Tuition

28、   It is k【1】that China is a great country with the largest population in the world. However, too large population can also be a problem. To deal with the population problem, our government decided to have one-child policy (政策) . After the policy was carried out (施行) for some time , while it did help to c【2】 the population growth, problems like aging also became clear, Last month, all Chinese c【3】 were told that they could be allowed to have two children.
