A
During my high school years, the most important thing was what I was wearing to the Friday night dance and who I was taking. Although college was talked about, it was the least of my worries.
When I was graduating eighth grade and starting high school, my older brother was graduating twelfth grade and going onto college. For my graduation, he gave me a card in which he wrote, “Enjoy your four years ..., they go by fast.” I remember not to believe him then, but looking back ..., he was right. Those four years shaped who I was as a person, pushed me to my limit and encouraged me to become an adult.
However, I was so completely absorbed in my junior and senior years of high school, that when someone spoke of college I brushed it off. I wasn't ready to leave my comfort zone of having all of my closest friends together and knowing what every single day was going to be like. Studying was something I did only after I nailed my halftime dance performance. I knew my parents wanted me to go to college, so I told them I would go to community college (社区学院) and I didn't worry about my SAT (美国高校入学考试) scores.
When my senior year passed and everyone graduated and went off to their own college, I started to wish I had done the same. My friends were living away, meeting new people, discovering new places, and I was living at home and driving to and from class every day. It seemed exactly like high school. I hated. I thought college was supposed to be different! Why didn't I take more time to research colleges and do the same? I ended up loving college and wishing I had four years to enjoy the campus (高校校内) atmosphere instead of two.
My advice to anyone thinking about attending college is to think about it very seriously and look into all of your choices well ahead of time. Now I have graduated and I am working full time and I would do anything to go back to my high school days for a second chance!

A. drove to and from class every day

4.Talking of his high school years, the author feels ________.

When was the last time you did something really fun with one of your parents — just the two of you?
Parents who take their young children to music, swimming and art classes often stop arranging such activities once their kids are older and in school all day. But it doesn't have to be that way. Doing something enjoyable with your kids just might make you look at each other in a whole new way, especially if you do it through a class or an event. When parent and child become students together, it puts them on the same level, at least for a while.
“I really like parents to come to class with their kids — they start sharing things and talking about what they're doing and what they like,”said art teacher Pyper Dixon.
However, finding something new in common is a big choice for them, especially when kids get involved in sports and other after school activities. But it's possible to learn a new skill or hobby together.
That's certainly true of Lauren, 11, of Silver Spring,who is in Dixon's class with her father, Dennis.“I was just going to drop her off,”Dennis said,“but Dixon persuaded me to stay.”
Now Lauren gets to nag her father about doing his art homework.“He always leaves it to the last minute,”she said.“But then he'll turn around to do amazing drawings,”she added.“We have different styles of drawing, so it's interesting to talk it over with him.”
Without the Saturday morning art class, Dennis said, he would be reading the paper, and Lauren would be on her own in her room or on the computer. But they talk more now. “I can't think of an experience where you communicate with your kid so closely,”he said.
5.The author raises the question at the beginning to ________.
A. expect an answer
B. criticize some parents
C. introduce the topic
D. support his argument
答案与解析 C 文章第一段提出问题:你最终一次和父母一起是什么时候,后面争辩的是父母和孩子一同参与学习的好处,说明这个问题引出话题的,选择C项。
6.What does Dixon think is the benefit of parent and child studying art together?
A. They will become equal.
B. They will communicate more.
C. The child will learn art much better.
D. The parent will learn something new.
答案与解析 B 从第三段的句子:“I really like parents to come to class with their kids—they start sharing things and talking about what they're doing and what they like.”可知Dixon认为父母和孩子一起学习艺术可以有更多的沟通,选择B项。
7.The underlined word “nag” in the text probably means ________.
A. urge B. help
C. miss D. teach
答案与解析 A 从后面的内容:“He always leaves it to the last minute,” she said,“But then he'll turn around to do amazing drawings,”可知爸爸总是把作业留到最终一刻才做,所以Lauren要督促爸爸做,nag=urge,选择A项。
8.We can learn from the text that ________.
A. Lauren used to talk a lot with her father
B. Dennis enjoys studying art with Lauren
C. Lauren dislikes her father's drawings
D. Dennis likes playing computer games
答案与解析 B 从最终一段的句子:“I can't think of an experience where you communicate with your kid so closely,” he said.可知Dennis宠爱和Lauren一起学习艺术,选择B项。
