Blameless
I was a freshman in college when I met the Whites. They were completely different from my own family, yet I felt at home with them immediately. Jane White and I became friends at school, and her family welcomed me like a long-lost cousin.
In my family, it was always important to place blame when anything bad happened.
“Who did this? ”my mother would scream about a dirty kitchen.
“This is all your fault, Katharine, ”my father would insist when the cat got out or the dishwasher broke.
From the time we were little, my sister, brothers and I told on each other. We set a place for blame at the dinner table.
But the Whites didn’t worry about who had done what. They picked up the pieces and moved on with their lives. The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer Jane died.
In July, the White sisters and I decided to take a car trip from their home in Florida to New York. The two older sisters, Sarah and Jane, were college students, and the youngest, Amy, had recently turned sixteen. Proud of having a new driver’s license(驾照),Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip. She showed off her license to everyone she met.
The big sisters shared the driving of Sarah’s new car during the first part of the trip, but when they reached less crowded areas, they let Amy take over. Somewhere in South Carolina, we pulled off the highway to eat. After lunch, Amy got behind the wheel. She came to a crossroads with a stop sign. Whether she was nervous or just didn’t see the sign no one would ever know, but Amy continued into the crossroads without stopping. The driver of a large truck, unable to stop in time, ran into our car.
Jane was killed immediately.
I was slightly injured. The most difficult thing that I’ve ever done was to call the Whites to tell them about the accident and that Jane had died. Painful as it was for me to lose a good friend, I knew that it was far worse for them to lose a child.
When Mr. and Mrs. White arrived at the hospital, they found their two daughters sharing a room. Sarah had a few cuts on the head; Amy’s leg was broken. They hugged(拥抱)us all and cried tears of sadness and of joy at seeing their daughters. They wiped away the girls’ tears and made a few jokes at Amy as she learned to use her crutches(拐杖).
To both of their daughters, and especially to Amy, over and over they simply said, “We’re so glad that you’re alive. ”
I was astonished. No blame. No accusations.
Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop sign.
Mrs. White said, “Jane’s gone, and we miss her terribly. Nothing we say or do will ever bring her back. But Amy has her whole life ahead of her. How can she lead a full and happy life if she feels we blame her for her sister’s death? ”
They were right. Amy graduated from the University of California and got married several years ago. She works as a teacher of learning-disabled students. She’s also a mother of two little girls of her own, the oldest named Jane.
1. How did the accident occur?
A. Amy didn’t know what to do when she saw the stop sign.
B. Amy didn’t slow down so their car ran into a truck.
C. Amy didn’t stop at a crossroads and a truck hit their car.
D. Amy didn’t get off the highway at a crossroads.
2. The Whites did not blame Amy for Jane’s death because _____.
A. Amy was badly injured herself and they didn’t want to add to her pain
B. they didn’t want to blame their children in front of others
C. they didn’t want Amy to feel ashamed and sorry for the rest of her life
D. Amy was their youngest daughter and they loved her best
3. From the passage we can learn that _____.
A. Amy has lived quite a normal life

When I began my freshman year of college at the age of fifty, I was scared and felt frustrated by the experience. It seemed as if I didn’t blend in(融入) with my classmates, and I found myself struggling academically. I searched to find some help in the college, but wasn’t able to find much.
My experience made me realize that there was a need for a group who could help the non-traditional students become successful and be better used to college life. I worked to help ESU (educational service unit) create such a group. We have to deal with study, family and our jobs at the same time. I wanted to provide resources to help make the change easier and less scary than my own experience was.
The group I set up has now grown to over seventy members who help old students and support one another. We’re currently working on a program to provide free babysitting for any college student that might need childcare. This would make things like studying in the library during the final weeks much easier.
Helping to found this student organization makes me feel wonderful inside. I would love to know that by forming this group, it has helped so many non-traditional students on their college journey. Success can be measured in many different ways. I measure my success by helping others and giving back when I can. My grandmother often told me the world would be a better place if we cared about and helped each other. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care—show them your care.
1.What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To complain about the difficulties in college.
B. To ask for help in academics.
C. To introduce the background of the topic.
D. To describe the author’s interesting experience.
2.It can be inferred from the passage that the author’s group ________.
A. aims to reduce old students’ pressure from life
B. mainly deals with academic problems
C. wants to help others get used to the jobs
D. mainly looks after children for old students
3.Through the group, the author ________.
A. feels successful
B. realizes her dream
C. understands her grandmother’s words
D. is happy to know she is cared about

September is an exciting month in every college freshman’s life. For many, it’s the first time that they’ve left home to live in a new environment. But after the hustle and bustle of a few weeks, excitement gives way to a less enjoyable emotion— homesickness.
Homesickness manifests itself in many ways. You may miss mum’s 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, you’re not alone. According to a recent BBC article, 70 percent of British college students experience homesickness. In this increasingly globalized world in which people migrate to faraway places for a relationship, education or work, homesickness is a feeling shared by many adults.
Homesickness can have similar symptoms to depression and in extreme cases it can develop into a panic attack. As for the term, homesickness or nostalgia wasn’t invented until the 17th century. It was considered a disorder by a Swiss physician, who attributed soldiers’ mental and physical discomfort to their longing to 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, it’s necessary for college students to learn some ways to overcome the uncomfortable feeling.
1. From the first two paragraphs, we can infer that __________.
A. homesickness means a fond memory of the past
B. only a few students will experience homesickness
C. homesickness is an enjoyable emotion among freshmen
D. college freshmen usually suffer from homesickness after weeks
2.According to the passage, we can know that _________.
A. homesickness may cause mental diseases
B. homesickness is a feeling only shared by adults
C. homesickness won’t do any good to our health
D. homesickness is also called nostalgia in Switzerland
3.What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?
A. some benefits about homesickness
B. other problems in college freshmen’s life
C. how to make campus life more meaningful
D. some tips on how to cope with homesickness
4.The attitude of Sedikides towards homesickness is _________.
A. negative B. supportive C. skeptical D. critical
5.What is the best title for the passage?
A. Let’s embrace homesickness
B. How to fit into the college life
C. A harmful emotion—homesickness
D. The disadvantages of homesickness
