Question

If you could see a movie of your life before you lived it, would you want to live it? Probably not. The excitement of living is that you don’t know what’s coming.
Sure, it’s hard to see uncertainty in such positive（積極的）light when you’re out of work, or when you feel like you’re failing. But uncertainty is really another word for chance.
When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chances all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do. She took a job in consulting（咨詢）, but she knew she wouldn’t stay there. She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income（收入）by teaching students. Still, she didn’t think she wanted to go to graduate school. Allison knew she wasn’t doing what she wanted, but she didn’t know what she wanted.
She worried. All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses. She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out. After six years, Allison, by having a general（全面的）plan in mind, got married, moved to the Midwest, and used her consulting experience to get a great job. Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way: time well spent, and time we must all take if we’re being honest with ourselves.
The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty and make a choice. Otherwise your life is not your own—it is a path someone else has chosen. Moments of uncertainty are when you create your life, when you become who you are. Uncertainty usually begins with a job hunt, but it doesn’t end there. Every new role we take on means another round of uncertainty. Instead of fearing it, you should find some ways to deal with uncertainty.

【小題1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)前兩段的內(nèi)容及第二段中But uncertainty is really another word for chance.最后一句可知未知或者不確定確實(shí)是機(jī)遇的另一個(gè)代名詞；即和B項(xiàng)的描述項(xiàng)吻合；故選B。
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chances all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do.以及最后一句but she didn’t know what she wanted.可知Allison不知道自己該干什么；故選C。
【小題3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段最后兩句話used her consulting experience to get a great job. 和Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way:可知Allison通過努力找到了一份好工作，并且找到了自己的生活方向和工作目標(biāo)，應(yīng)該說他對(duì)于自己的六年工作經(jīng)歷是滿意的；故選D。
【小題4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由最后一段主要是向我們講述了不確定給我們帶來的挑戰(zhàn)以及機(jī)遇，那么接下來自然就是該敘述我們?cè)撊绾蝸砻鎸?duì)這種不確定的因素；故選A。
