One rainy evening I went to fill up at the gas station. A pre-teen boy approached my car with a thick hoodie (连帽衫) 1 around his face. He asked me for money to help him and his mother stay in their hotel for an additional week. He stated that if they did not 2 $25 they would be driven out that 3 evening. Having worked in social services before，and being a little skeptical，I asked how come his mother hadn't sought out social services for 4 ．The boy said that they needed to 5 in their hotel for one more week until his grandmother，who lived out of town，could take them in.
I gave the boy what I had－$5.He thanked me and continued to 6 the parking lot asking for help. I got my gas and drove away. A(n) 7 time some weeks ago，a boy asked me for money and I told him I didn't have any 8 I did. The skeptic in me had 9 out.Yet，I thought about it，felt 10 at my skepticism and went 11 the boy to give him a dollar. But it seemed that he had disappeared into thin air. “This time，” I thought，“I'll do it 12 ．”
I reached into my 13 and took out an additional $20; then I returned to the gas station. The boy was 14 there I observed him 15 approaching strangers who walked past him but took no 16 of him. I pulled up beside a pump and waved 17 the boy to come over.I handed him the $20 bill.

Strong writing is one of the most important skills for any college student.Many non-native English speakers have no idea what professors in the U．S. expect from a college paper.A college paper is a piece of writing that can be as long as 20 or more pages.Even native English-speaking college students struggle with how to succeed with such a difficult responsibility.
Deborah Dessaso is the Writing Resource Coordinator at the University of the District of Columbia.She says college writing is very different from what many students experience earlier in their education.Most U．S.high schools teach students how to write five-paragraph essays.Students are often unprepared for the amount of research they have to do for a college paper.
Nabila Hijazi is one of the assistant directors of the University of Maryland Writing Center.Hijazi is also an international student from Syria in the second year of her PhD program in English studies.She says the language barrier is not the biggest problem for students whose first language is not English.
In a traditional paper，the first paragraph often contains the thesis statement. This statement is a one-sentence summary of the paper's main argument.The first paragraph of a college paper，or any paper，is usually the most challenging.The first paragraph is also the most important because it will guide the structure and show the voice of the entire paper.But not every type of writing is the same.There are also case studies and field reports in addition to traditional papers.
Dessaso says that the best option for a student who wants to improve his writing is to read.Reading examples of the type of paper your professor expects you to write can be very helpful.Professors sometimes provide examples.You can also search the Internet for examples of papers about similar topics.But you should never copy another person's work.Professors will find out if the work is copied and you will get in a lot of trouble.
Hijazi also says that writing a paper takes time.Students should let other students read their work and listen to criticism.
1．What do you know about a college paper? A．College students also call it a five-paragraph essay. B．It is easy for native English-speaking college students.
D．reached D．line D．quiet
2
C．It usually presents the theme in the first two paragraphs. D．The length of the paper is beyond expectation.
2．According to Deborah Dessaso we can know that ． A．American high school students do better in college writing B．reading similar articles can make you gain much benefit C．your professor can give you clues on how to do your writing D．surfing the Internet is an easy way to complete your writing 3．How did the author develop the passage? A．By making comparison. B．By giving explanations. C．By arising debates. D．By following time order.
4．Which is the proper title for the passage? A．Taking Steps toward a Great College Paper B．College Writing Makes Students Struggle C．Great Barriers Stand before College Students D．Never Give up when You Are Writing 三.阅读填空
Find Meaningful Work
Young people today want to do work with purpose. 1． Practice intentional experimentation.
Alex McPhillips left his job writing about the Boston Red Sox for MLB.com to volunteer on Barack Obama's 2008 campaign because he was tired of writing about baseball and wanted to join a political campaign.2. Seek opportunities that excite you and inspire you to wake up in the morning.
3． Meaningful careers are made up of personal journeys to get closer to who we are.Upon graduation，Tom considered positions in business，but the world didn't excite him.Instead，he went back to an idea that was inspired by his brother Andrew，who has autism (自闭症)．So Tom built Rising Tide Car Wash，which employs people with autism.The family business provides people of all ability levels with an independent life.
4． Skills often get people hired.Research has shown that people who find fulfilling work are good at what they do and have mastered a particular craft or talent.5. This was the
3
case for Deepa Subramaniam，who worked as a product manager for 10 years.During her 10th year，she was eager for a career change.She realized many organizations could use her particular skills.She noticed an opening in charity: Water's director of product，and used her new network to get connected to the leadership team and eventually land the position.
A．Know who you are. B．Use skills as an advantage.
C．Skills allow you to take your career in multiple directions. D．That volunteer experience eventually turned into a paid job. E．If you're having a hard time finding that，these lessons can help. F．But what happens when you're really good at your job but still feel stuck? G．They're the driving force behind a new economy that puts meaning before money. 四.短文改错
I lived in Stockholm for 18 months when I was in my twenty.I was able to get several fun jobs，taught guitar and piano，and English at language school.They wanted everyone with an “American” accent.I also take the bar exam with students.I became friends in many Swedes and students who are from around the world.I was great privileged to attend the Nobel Prize Ball at the King's palace.It was very formal.The men had to wear top hats，white gloves but carry canes！My list of adventures is too much long to document here.It is by far the big adventure and learning experience of my life.
