Some of the most famous universities in America are urging students to consider the idea of putting off college for a year. It’s called a “gap year.” And while it’s been common and popular in Australia and the U.K. for decades, the concept is now starting to gain significant steam here in America.

Why? A growing number of high school seniors are tired of riding the academic conveyor belt from preschool all the way to university. They’re burnt out. Or not quite ready. Or they want to explore a few interests before deciding what to study in college, they’re volunteering in New Orleans or teaching in Thailand. They’re starting the great American novel, or working for a short time to help figure out what they want to do with their lives.

Understandably, that makes a lot of parents nervous. But a gap year does not mean that a student will remain degree-less forever. While there are no formal studies on the number of students who don’t finally go to college after the gap year, evidence from admissions officers across the country says very few actually leave college without finishing their courses. Taking a gap year can actually make kids more focused and ready for future academic life. In fact, Harvard University believes so much in the gap year that it encourages every student it admits to consider a year off before matriculation (入学).

The reason behind higher education’s support of the gap year is clear: Better-prepared students mean higher completion rates. And it’s completion that matters. Parents should remember that getting a kid into college is only half the battle. According to the College Board, three out of five students who enter a public four-year college don’t manage to obtain a degree within five years. And nearly 30 percent of all students who enter college don’t return after the gap year. Considering the fact that this year’s average price at a four-year private college is about $ 23,712 per year, it’s a pretty expensive place to play around.

1.Students want to take a gap year mainly because 　　　　 .

①they want to have an experience of foreign education

②they want to escape academic pressure for a while

③they want to read more books before college

④they are not completely prepared for college

⑤they can’t decide what to learn in college

A. ①③④　　 B. ①③⑤

C. ②③④　　 D. ②④⑤

2.What makes parents feel concerned about the gap year?

A. The high cost of the gap year.

B. The safety risks outside school.

C. Their kids dropping out of college

D. Their kids falling behind in their lessons.

3.Why do some universities encourage the gap year?

A. It means students will have enough money to pay for college.

B. It allows students to finish college in less than four years.

C. It gets students more involved in their studies.

D. It makes students develop a competitive spirit.

4.What is the author’s attitude towards the gap year?

A. Surprised.　　 B. Supportive.

C. Critical.　　 D. Doubtful.

Why do some people feel obliged to do the craziest things, while most of us are happy to sit on the sofa and watch their exploits on TV? Robin Styles ponders(考虑)this question.

Generally, we love to watch someone's bravery and drama--a single person against the wilds of nature, testing their endurance beyond belief. And our pleasure is greater because we live a comfortable and increasingly risk-free life, where the greatest test of endurance is getting to work through the rush hour. 1.However, there are countless ways to test the limits of your endurance, if you should wish to do so, by attempting something unpleasant, uncomfortable or just plain dangerous.

American Lynne Cox swims in sub-zero temperatures through the planet's most dangerous oceans wearing only a swimsuit--for fun! According to Lynne, there is always something driving her on. At age 9, when she was swimming in an outdoor pool one day, a violent storm blew up, but she refused to get out of the pool. Something make her carry on. Then she realized that, as the water got colder and rougher, she was actually getting faster and warmer, and she was really enjoying it. At age 14, she broke her first endurance record. Years later, experts discovered that Lynne has a totally even layer of body fat, like a seal. 2..

The famous British explorer, Sir Ranulph Fiennes, has led many major expeditions (远征) in the extreme cold, including walking right round the Arctic Circle. He has also led expeditions in the extreme heat, and discovered the Lost City of Ubar in the Omani desert. 3.Sir Fiennes has said, "If I am getting sick, I find a very powerful way of conquering it is to know that my father would have definitely done it."

4.There is probably no such thing as a "normal" adventurer. Unsurprisingly, risk-takers tend to be single-minded and unusually determined people who hate the stability and routine that most people prefer. They tend to take risks for the "fun" of it. The excitement becomes addictive, and they want more and more of it. Ordinary life seems boring in comparison.

A. She is perfectly made for doing what she does, it seems.

B. Adventurers are clearly different from the rest of us.

C What she did was really beyond our imagination.

D. It seems that many adventurers spend their lives trying to live up to the image of a parent.

E. And most of us would prefer it to remain that way.

F. Many adventurers have amazed the world with their extraordinary skills.

Stephen Hawking was both one of the world's most famous scientists and most famous disabled people. His life was a juxtaposition of sparkling intellect and failing body. Prof Hawking was diagnosed with a rare form of motor neurone(运动神经元) diseases when he was 21.

The nerves that controlled his muscles were failing and he became trapped in his body, but his mind was still free. He reached the height of his field while being a wheelchair user.

Professor Hawking certainly raised awareness of motor neurone diseases. One of his major contributions to disability in general was simply being visible---often at a time when disabled voices were missing from popular culture. He made small-screen appearances on The Simpsons, Star Trek and The Big Bang Theory. His life was dramatised (将…改成剧本)by the BBC and in the film The Theory of Everything.

Steve Bell, from the MND association, said: "He was probably the most famous person with a physical disability and it almost normalises it to see his absolute genius. I think it affected a lot of people, seeing he's more than a trapped body. The public's view of disability has changed.

But Prof Hawking’s life was exceptional. He lived five decades longer than doctors expected. Many others with motor neurone diseases die in the years after diagnosis. He was a theoretical physicist. His laboratory was in the mind; his scientific equipment was mathematics.

Prof Hawking was able to continue to pursue his career in a way that would have been much harder in other scientific disciplines and impossible in many other professions. It remains an open question how much he would have achieved if he was disabled from birth rather than after graduating with a first at Oxford. Today, disabled people are more than twice as likely to be unemployed than people without disability. Prof Hawking 's only advice on disability was to focus on what could be achieved. "My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn’t prevent you doing well, and don 't regret the things it interferes with. Don't be disabled in spirit, as well as physically,” he said in an interview with the New York Times.

1.What does the underlined word juxtaposition in Paragraph 1 mean?

A.Combination. B.Trouble.

C.Difficulty. D.Mess.

2.How did Hawking raise awareness of motor neurone diseases?

A.By trying not to get trapped by the disease.

B.By making the voice of the disabled heard.

C.By making people be used to the small screen.

D.By working for the BBC and film companies.

3.What did Steve Bell think of Hawking?

A.He was the most well-known person.

B.He was affected greatly by many people.

C.He changed people's view of disabled people.

D.His physical disability affected his mind.

4.What's Hawking’ s tip to disabled people?

A.Try to find a job and don't be unemployed.

B.Don't ignore your health.

C.Stick to the goals that you can reach.

D.Don’t think you are physically disabled.
