7．Love of the Sea
My love affair with the sea began when I was no more than six years old，walking along the sandy beaches．I always wanted to make the first set of footprints in the wet sand．
Unlike many surfers who sought the perfect wave，my interests always lay beneath the sea's surface in a world I could only imagine and dream of．Soon，wearing a snorkel and a mask，I made my first solo adventures in the deep．
Perhaps the greatest turning point in my life came when I was in high school and I wrote a letter to the famous Scripps Oceanographic Institution，in San Diego，asking how I might learn more about the sea．
A kind scientist answered my letter and told me how to apply to Scripps for a summer scholarship，which I received．During one of their cruises that summer，I met Dr．Robert Norris，a marine geologist．He loved the sea almost as much as I did．Soon he was asking me what my plans were and where I expected to attend college．I told him I didn't know，so he suggested I consider his school，the University of California in Santa Barbara．
Now my love affair with the sea became a serious endeavor．If I wanted to be an undersea explorer，I needed to learn as much as I could about the laws of the physical world that controlled the environment I wanted to enter．The undersea world is not our natural world．It is unforgiving to those who make mistakes．At its greatest depths the water temperature is near freezing，the pressure is eight tons per square inch，and it is totally dark．It is easy to get lost in such a world．I needed to learn a lot about geography，navigation，meteorology，geology，biology，and many other things．While I was in school，I took a little of everything．
I decided another important thing for me to do was to join the U．S．Navy．If I was going to be an undersea explorer，I would have to lead men and women on dangerous adventures where they might get hurt，and I didn't want that to happen．In the Navy I learned discipline，organization，and how to motivate and lead people on expeditions so that we could explore the wonders of the deep．
Finally，the time came to put all that I had learned to use，to go forth with a team of men and women and explore an adventure I am still on and hope to be on for many years to come．
62．In Paragraph 5，the writer discusses"the laws of the physical world．"Which of the following is an example of one of the laws？A
A．Water pressure．
B．Various ocean animal life．
C．The appearance of the water．
D．The different colors of the ocean．
63．In college，the writer took many different types of courses because heD．
A．was not sure what he wanted to study
B．was advised to take them by Dr．Robert Norris
C．believed it would help him succeed in the Navy
D．thought they were needed to fully understand the ocean
64．The writer joined the Navy toA．
A．develop his leadership skills
B．get along with people under stress
C．learn about the dangers of the ocean
D．gather specific information about ocean life
65．What would the writer recommend to students who want to be underwater explorers？D
A．Spend time examining your talents．
B．Join groups to learn to get along on a team．
C．Interview explorers to see if they are happy．
D．Study as many ocean-related topics as you can．

18．College isn't high school．In college，when a professor has treated you unfairly，you can't turn to your mother and ask her to call the headmaster to complain．In college，you are either expected to A） take the disrespect，move on with your life and wish that the professor would still give you an A on your next test，or B） go to their office，stand your ground，and tell them exactly how they have wronged you．Both choices have their consequences，but it's up to you to tell the difference between action and inaction．I think students often forget that one of the main purposes of college is to prepare you to be independent in life．In college，you live off-campus，often in a different state or city，far away from your close family and friends．You choose your own schedule．No one forces you to go to class．The way some students deal with that sudden independence and freedom is very telling of how they end up performing in college．
    There is some argument whether academics（學(xué)業(yè)） are the main focus of college，I think social relationships should come first．I'm not just saying this because I'm lazy and have bad grades．You can get through high school without ever interacting with a single person---but in college，you can't，nor do you want to．Do you really want to enter the job market without a single friend？You don't want to stay alone in your dorm room for entire four years．Make a few friends---aside from your roommates．In my case，when I have had roommate problems，I've needed to turn to a separate group of friends that can turn me away from the trouble．Being part of clubs and sports is another great way to do this---not only will you be making friends，you'll also be gaining a new skill．
 
36．According to the writer，what college is different from high school is thatB
A．you can't complain the headmaster by calling your mother
B．you can only solve the problem by yourself
C．your mother can't call the headmaster
D．your mother can only solve the problem by calling the headmaster
37．What does the underlined phrase"stand your ground"in Paragraph 1 mean？A
A．Refuse to give in．

38．Your performance in college probably depends onD．
A．how hard you work at your studies
B．how independent you are in your studies
C．how free you feel at most time in college
D．how well you deal with your time in college
39．Which of the following statements is not true according to the writer？C
A．People don't agree on what is the main focus of college．
B．Social relationship is the most important thing in college．
C．Though I don't admit，I am lazy and have bad grades in college．

15．Going for Yoga Lessons

12．Dear Reader：
    I receive many letters from children and can't answer them all．Now，I'll try to answer the questions that are commonly asked．
    Where did I get the idea for Stuart Little and for Charlotte's Web？Well，many years ago I went to bed one night in a railway sleeping car and dreamed about a tiny boy who acted like a mouse．That's how the story of Stuart Little got started．As for Charlotte's Web，one day when I was on my way to feed the pig，I began feeling sorry for the pig because，like most pigs，he has to die．So I started thinking of ways to save a pig's life．I had been watching a big grey spider（蜘蛛） at her work and was impressed by how clever she was．Gradually I worked the spider into the story．Three years after I started writing it，it was published．
    Sometimes I'm asked how old I was when starting to write，and what made me write．I started early-as soon as I could spell．I don't know why I enjoyed writing，but I think children often find pleasure in trying to set their thoughts down on paper，either in words or in pictures，but I was not good at drawing．
    Are my stories true？No，they are made-up．In real life，a family doesn't have a child who looks like a mouse，and a spider doesn't spin （編織） words in her web．But real life is only one kind of life-there is also the life of the imagination．And I like to think there is some truth in my stories-truth about the way people and animals feel and think and act．
    Yours sincerely，
    E．B．White
50．What is E．B．White？B
A．a(chǎn) traveller       B．Writer           C．farmer           D．painter
51．How long did it take the writer to finish Charlotte's Web？C
A.1 year             B.2 years          C.3 years      D.4 years
52．What can be inferred from the passage？B
A．Stuart Little is about a real mouse seen in a sleeping car．
B．Something in real life can give the writer ideas of writing．
C．Children show interest in writing thoughts down on paper．
D．The writer thinks there is no truth in imaginary stories．
53．What are the readers interested in according to the passage？A
A．when to start writing stories        
B．the spiders in his stories    
C．when to write more stories           
D．the writer's family．
