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(不確定) 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(研究院). 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.
The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty. 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.
1. From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that .
A. being out of work is a sad thing
B. uncertainty is what makes life interesting
C. life in a film is more exciting than real life
D. chance never appears when we need it
2.What troubles Allison after graduation?
A. She couldn’t find a well-paid job.
B. She had no money to start a business.
C. She was not sure what to do.
D. She didn’t score high enough for graduate school.
3. How did Allison feel about her six years’ working experience?
A. Uncertain. B. Amazed. C. Sorry. D. Satisfied.
4.What may be discussed in the following paragraph?
A. How to deal with uncertainty.
B. What role uncertainty plays in life.
C. Why people fear uncertainty.
D. Whom to go to when facing uncertainty.

閱讀短文,從每題所給的三個選項(A、B、C)中,選出最佳選項。
Do you know Roma people? They were called Gypsies(吉普賽人)by Europeans because they thought they came from Egypt(a country in Africa). About a thousand years ago, the Roma people left their homeland. They are known as nomads because for hundreds of years many of them have lived in large groups that travel from place to place. They have no real homeland.
Today, the Roma are now living all over the world. They have kept their language and many customs. For example, it’s important for Roma to marry other Roma. It’s also a custom for parents to choose the person their children will marry. Roma people get married when they are young, sometimes even as young as 14.
Romany is the language of the Roma people, which was written down only recently. Because the Roma are nomadic and have moved all over the world, their language has developed in many different ways. It is sometimes hard for Roma in one part of the world to understand Roma from another part.
Roma music is famous all over the world, because many Roma throughout history have been musicians. Their music has influenced many other kinds of music, like classical and jazz.
Roma don’t usually assimilate(同化) into host countries. Over many centuries, governments have forbidden them to marry each other, travel or wear their traditional bright clothes. They have their gold taken away from them-treasures(財富) from their parents and grandparents. They have been taken as slaves(奴隸), and have been forced to change their names.
But today, the Roma are finding ways to live in peace with others while keeping the treasures of their culture. “There is a will within us to continue to live as a people,” says George Kaslov, whose family arrived in New York from Russia a hundred years ago. “All the other ethnic(種族) groups who came to America assimilate gradually with time going; they lose their customs and language. But not the Roma, We hold out.”
1.What does the underlined word “nomads” in the 1st paragraph mean?
A.People who move from place to place.
B.People who come from Roma.
C.People who have their own homeland.
2.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.George Kaslov has a strong will to live on.
B.The Roma still keep their customs and language.
C.The Roma are finding ways to keep the gold of their own.
3.What can we infer(推斷) about the Roma according to the passage?
A.Most of the Roma live in very unusual houses.
B.Most Roma get married either when they are very young or very old.
C.Their culture is very different from other European cultures.
4.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To tell readers about an interesting culture.
B.To tell us why the Roma need our help.
C.To show us how all people are similar.
5.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Brave Roma Travelers
B.Famous Roma Music.
C.The Roma: Past and Present

Liang Huili is the leader of Huana International Volunteer Service Group,with hundreds of students, young professionals and business leaders. They held a basketball match to help 150 poor students in western China with school supplies(用品) and winter clothes. She also worked with an organization in the US to raise money for children with heart disease.
Born in Guangdong Province in 1942, Liang moved with her family to Taiwan at the age of seven. Liang taught at a primary school for seven years until her boyfriend went to America in 1969, one year after they got married.
“We didn’t have much money,” she says, “ so I started babysitting for other Chinese families and taking care of my own daughter at the same time.” She also taught children Chinese at Chinese schools. What’s more, she would help newly arrived Chinese families find apartments and work, and sometimes lend them money.
“I remember those students from China who first came in 1986. They didn’t have much money, and idea of what to do,” Liang told us. “ I then asked people in my neighborhood and my Chinese friends for donations(捐贈)-not only some money but also small electronic appliances needed for daily living.”
One of her experiences in Dayton, Ohio made her want to make volunteering a vocation(職業(yè)). She remembers how she once collected(接走) two Chinese professors who had missed their flight and had no one there to pick them up. A friend told Liang about it, and she went to meet them herself around midnight. She found the men feeling lost in that strange country, where no one spoke their language. They didn’t want to go to an American hotel, and didn’t know how they would get to Columbus the next day. “ So I talk to them and took them home with me,” she says, “ and today, I am still in touch with those two professors. We are good friends.”
