A

Do you have any idea what you would like to be and do after graduation? A lot of people don't begin thinking about career until they reach junior or senior year, which, in my opinion, is too late.

When people are trying to decide what they want to do, it helps to know something they love. Ever since I was little, I’ve always been doing someone’s hair, make-up or nails, starting with Barbie dolls and progressing to humans. Over the years my family has really inspired me to do this and now I fix friends’ and family members’ hair for weddings, dances and other big events.

I have been thinking about what I would like to do for a career since middle school. I did some research and discovered that I might really enjoy being a cosmetologist so, I went to my hair stylist and asked her lots of questions about what it takes to reach her level and what she would recommend I do. I considered her advice and then did more research.

I used Aveda’s website to get information on the Aveda Institute and what type of credits(貸款) I would need from high school to apply. I found their institute has three parts: theatrical knowledge, practical experience, and professional business-building skills. For the past few years, I have been looking at Aveda in more and more detail. This school not only offers cosmetology, but also massage therapy(療法). I grew up in Minnesota(美國北部的一個州), so I plan to apply to the institute in Minneapolis that several people have highly recommended. It helps students become “future industry leaders in hair care, skin care, makeup and total body wellness”. It is affordable and everyone there is friendly and understanding.

Having done the groundwork and thinking about what I’d like to do after high school, I know that I will definitely pursue my dream of becoming a cosmetologist.

完形填空

閱讀下面短文，掌握其大意，然后完成文后題目。

　　When I was a college student, I did a lot of traveling abroad. That was because a professor 1 me to do so. She said,“Now is the time for you to travel around the world, 2 your knowledge through actual experiences and have fun!”I 3 her.

　　Since I started to work for a 4 company, however, I have done most of my traveling through the Internet. By using the Internet, I have seen the 5 of many cities on my computer screen. And I have really made business 6 , too. With the help of the Internet, I have also got 7 about food in different countries.

　　Therefore, I was beginning to feel that actual trips were 8 necessary when I happened to read a famous chef's (廚師) comment on the Internet. He said,“It is very difficult to have real Italian food in a foreign country, because we enjoy food and the 9 around us at the same time. So why don't you fly over to Italy and enjoy real Italian 10 ?”Those words reminded me of my 11 advice. As information technology 12 , you might be able to do without making some real trips. But this also means that you will miss the various 13 you can get from traveling.

　　Today there are people who 14 direct communication with others and spend much of their time on the Internet. It is not surprising to see a group of people 15 not with each other but into their micro phones. It seems as if such people are 16 by an invisible wall. They seem to be losing out on a good chance to 17 and talk with other people. I do not think that they are taking good advantage of information technology. We should use information technology as a tool to make our daily 18 more fruitful. However, we should never let it 19 our time for face-to-face communication. Let's make use of information technology more 20 , and have great fun in experiencing the actual world.
