However, my journey to vet school has been somewhat unconventional to say the least. After a struggle for my freshman year at MSU, I decided to put off my college education and join the army. It was there that I met my husband. And after eight years of service, I left the army to raise our children full-time. I eventually made it back to MSU, where I graduated with a BA in criminal justice in 2005. The summer before our youngest child started kindergarten, my husband and I talked about what career I wanted to pursue. We brainstormed various careers within the criminal justice field, yet none were appealing My husband finally asked me what career Id choose outside my degree field. I said veterinary medicine. He told me to go for it, to which I said yes.After years of required courses and one application cycle, I was accepted to MSUs College of Veterinary Medicine. I was excited and then panic set in almost immediately. What if Im too old for this? How will I manage kids, vet school and life? I worried about making friends with people half my age and having no time to explore activities outside of vet school.These fears, while real, were unfounded. Ive bonded with a core group of women who are helpful. Many classmates and professors have given me praise for choosing, a second career while raising a family. Ive served on executive boards (董事会) of several vet clubs and organizations, taken trips to conferences out of state and had a regular job in the MSU Veterinary Medical Center. Therere things Ive missed out, but I cant do everything, so I focus on the most important experience. 19. What made the author directly decide to apply to vet school?A. Her personal childhood dream.

Keep motivated to live a meaningful life.CIts never been easier for the average student to find the answer to a tough homework question. A quick Google search will provide accurate insight into any questions these days. Is instant access to any piece of information actually conducive to learning, though? Based on test scores, it doesnt look like it.A new study from Rutgers University finds that smart phones and easy access to the Internet are harming modern students memory of information in the long run, resulting in lower grades.Researchers note that students who usually receive high marks on homework assignments, but lower test grades are much more likely to use the Internet for answers while completing theirhomework. Considering these findings, the studys authors are questioning the validity of homework as a useful learning tool. When a student does homework by looking up the answers, they usually find the correct answer, resulting in a high score on the assignment, says the lead study author Arnold Glass. However, when students do that, they rapidly forget both the question and answer. Consequently, they transform homework from what has been, until now, a useful exercise into a meaningless task that does not help in preparing for exams.In all, 2,433 students took part in this study over an 1l-year period. The statistics of homework and test scores in 2008 and 2017 show how much things have changed. In 2008, only 14% of students scored lower on tests than homework assignments. By 2017, that percentage jumps up to an astonishing 55%.According to Professor Glass, homework questions are supposed to be answered without the help of outside sources. Students should read the question, think about it and answer to the best of their ability.“If the student does this first and then finds the correct answer online, the student is likely to look up answers online again, which will have a significant long-term effect on exam performance, he concludes.22. What is the new study mainly about? A. The learning behavior of students. B. The functions of mobile phones. C. The harm of the Internet. D. The use of homework. 23. Which of the following can replace the underlined word validity? A. Effect. B. Content. C. Possibility. D. Motivation. 24. How does the author explain the impact of smart phones on students grades? A. By taking a few specific examples.B. By quoting some experts opinions. C. By comparing some collected data.D. By explaining the research in detail. 25. What is the best title for the text?A. Mobile phones addicts get lower grades B. The key to good academic performanceC. Mind the threats of technology to relationship D.
