At the beginning of my senior year in high school, I began applying to the University of Connecticut. But what I didn’t realize was how expensive my dream was. I came from a middle-class family, and it seemed as though we’d always struggled to make ends meet.

I wasn’t the smartest person in my class, not even close; but my heart was in the right place, and I was determined. I applied for every scholarship I could. And then my guidance counselor told me about the financial aid system. I applied, but I didn’t think I would qualify for that either.

After the holidays, my friends started receiving their acceptance letters from colleges, and I eagerly expected mine. Finally, a letter arrived from the University of Connecticut. Feelings of fear and joy overwhelmed me when I opened the envelope with trembling hands. I had done it! I cried for a while, feeling both extremely excited and afraid. I had been working a full-time job, but that wasn’t enough to pay for tuition, and it was impossible for my parents to pay for my education.

Months went by before a letter from the financial aid office arrived. I opened it eagerly, but it was only a letter requesting more information to process my application. This happened over and over, and my hopes kept getting shot down. Finally, an envelope arrived, the one that would determine whether I could attend college. Not only was financial aid (助学金) going to help me out with my expenses, but also I won two of the scholarships I had applied for! I had actually made my dream come true.

I am now a junior at the University of Connecticut, pursuing a degree in English.

Most of my life I had lived in a Black and Latino community. Neither of my parents had made it past middle school and I was the first in my family to ever set foot on a college campus. By contrast, most of my peers came from generations of college educated family and had grown up in rich, white suburbs. Instead of sharing with others how I was feeling, I isolated myself and thought I could get through it if I just focused on studying. During the weeks leading up to my sophomore year winter break, I finally decided I would drop out. Fortunately, that wasn’t the end of the story. I found strength and guidance to continue through to graduation.

Counseling(咨询) provided me a space to release and process my emotions. My counselor provided me books and other resources to understand what I was experiencing and she helped me feel empowered.

Volunteering with a campus organization that guided children in Chicago housing projects provided me a consistent reminder for why I was in college. My interactions with students who reminded me so much of my own friends back home inspired me to commit to working for access to higher education for low-income youth. I also got involved with a summer urban internship(实习生) program, where I cooperated with a group of student leaders to start a conference to dialogue about issues of race and class.

Knowledge is empowering. I read books and intentionally chose courses to learn more about topics related to immigration, race, social class and urban education. These courses and books helped me gain a much deeper understanding of my own racial experiences of oppression(压制). Most importantly, I was empowered with the knowledge I needed to work against injustice and inequality.

【小题1】Why did the author decide to drop out in the second college year?
A.He found it hard to concentrate on study.
B.His rich white peers pushed him too hard.
C.His family couldn’t afford the tuition anymore.
D.He set himself apart from others and suffered mentally.
【小题2】The following helped the author feel empowered EXCEPT _______?
A.Gaining knowledge from books and courses.
B.Volunteering in programs and interacting with people.
C.Cooperating with his own friends back home in programs.
D.Counseling for mental support and professional guidance.
【小题3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.An urban internship program is a must for college students.
B.The author gradually figure out the purpose of college study.
C.The counselors provided professional guidance on the issues of race.
D.Starting a conference is the only way to word against injustice and inequality.
Honesty, my mum always used to tell me, is the best policy. Of course, this didin’t include her when she told me that if I didn’t eat all my vegetables Father Christmas would find out and wouldn’t give me any presents.
But when it comes to medicine, I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients. After all, the doctor-patient relationship is based on trust, and therefore honesty is essential, Or so I thought.
I had just started working in geriatrics(老年病科). Mr. McMahon was brought in when his belly was found very swollen. I took a medical history from his daughter who'd accompanied him in the ambulance. She’d been his main carer for years. I stood looking at him as she gave a detailed history. “Has he lost any weight recently?” I asked, “Well, it’s funny you should mention that, but yes.” She said slowly. There was silence for a few moments. “Why? What are you worried about?” she asked, I hesitated. She was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told her the truth. “Well, we need to prove it’s not cancer.” I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order.
Half an hour later, a nurse called me: “Mr. McMahon’s daughter broke down-she said you told her he had cancer.” My heart sank. By the time I arrived at the ward, my consultant was already there, explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer. I stood silently at the end of the bed. My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr. McMahon, she turned to me. “Why on earch did you do that?” she asked in disbelief. I looked at her and bit my lip. “She asked me what I was worried about and I told her.” I said, hanging my head. “And give her more to worry about?” replied my consultant. “You don’t say the word ‘cancer’ until it’s confirmed. Even if you suspect it, think very carefully before you tell people.”
As it turned out, it wasn’t cancer. But I did learn that when someone is stressed and worried about their loved one they’re sometimes selective in what they hear-and as a doctor it’s important to be mindful of this. In being truthful, I’d made the situation worse.

While looking for comfortable places to sleep in this winter, a black bear picked out a culvert (涵洞) near Wannaska, Minnesota. Unfortunately for the bear, this decision didn’t pan out.

In late February, the snow around him started melting, causing the culvert to flood and then freeze again. The poor fellow was trapped in snow and ice for three days before some kind humans noticed him and called authorities for help.

By the time experts arrived, people had already tried digging the bear out and giving him a variety of unhealthy (for bears) treats. Luckily, the bear wasn’t interested in the food as he was still in a mode in which he slept through the winter months.

A wildlife research biologist Andrew Tri arrived on the scene to assess the situation. “He tried to push himself out and kind of got trapped on some frozen water that had frozen and thawed (融化) frozen and thawed and he got stuck in place and tired,” the biologist explained.

The team first injected the bear with an anesthetic. Once he was asleep, it took five strong men to pull the bear, estimated to weigh between 375 and 400 pounds, out of the culvert. Andrew gave him a full check-up and determined he was in great physical shape, even though he was still a bit sleepy! After that, they put him in a cage and transported him to a wildlife reserve to finish out the winter.

In an online post, Andrew shared the story along with photos of the bear rescue. He summed up with a reminder to the public to never “bother” a bear, either in the wild or near its home. “If you’re ever concerned about a bear’s safety, by all means give us a call,” he advised. “But don’t try to move it or feed it! Doing so can result in a bad situation either for you or for the bear.”

【小题2】Why was bear incurious about the food people gave him?

C.Promises Andrew made to rescue the bear.
D.Dangers people might face in rescuing the bear.
