21、g? Relax. Youre making the right decision. First of all, youll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects. For example, its hard to decide if you want to be a painter if youve never painted any picture; once youre in a drawing-room on campus, youll know one way or the other. Coll

Finding the right college can be difficult. Fortunately, Johnson Review is here to help you every step
23、of the way.*Researching Schools.

29、arents before having a party planned or telling all their friends. The days are long gone of the man going trembling to the girls father and saying, “Sir, may I have the honor of having the hand of your daughter in marriage?” However, a wise couple always discusses their plans for marriage with thei
30、r respective families, and a young man often suggests a “financial talk” with his future father-in-law before the latter is faced with the embarrassment of asking for one. Even if a young woman has supported herself and lives away from home, her parents have the right to know how her fianc proposes
31、to handle the long-range financing of their family and home. The fianc should state his income, his savings, and his future expectations, without overstating any of them.Engagement parties are given by the parents of the bride-to-be or by a relative of the bride acting for her parents, usually just
32、before the newspaper announcement of the engagement. If the bride-to-be and her fianc live in a city other than her parents, it is better for her parents to go to the city than her to go home to them for the engagement party. She and her fianc will, after all, be partied in her parents hometown duri
33、ng the wedding festivities. However, if the family home is not far away, it is proper for the engaged couple to travel there for the announcement party. The young mans family should be invited, too. If the brides parents are no longer living, then a relative or a close friend can give the party. It
34、is usually a simple cocktails party, champagne served for toasts to the engaged couple.If the party is very large, the engaged couple and the girls parents might form a receiving line but they do not have to. The bride-to-be usually wears her engagement ring officially for the first time on this occ
35、asion. If she has a gift for the groom-to-be, she gives it to him right before or after the engagement party.For Americans, the traditional engagement ring is a diamond solitaire (单粒宝石). However, today anything goes a ring with many colored stones, a ring with a large semi-precious stone, an heirloo
36、m (传家宝) ring reset in a modern design, or even a stone in the brides family, simply reset in a Tiffany setting. The wedding ring will be of the same metal as the engagement ring. Some girls prefer no engagement ring but choose a wedding band that is decorated with stones instead. No one has to have
37、an engagement ring. A girl may want her fianc to give her a pearl necklace instead, or a jeweled watch. Jeweled rings can be given as gifts on many occasions during the married lives such as wedding anniversaries, the birth of a child, or an important job promotion. 45. According to the first paragr
38、aph, young men .A. must tell all their friends before planning a partyB. used to feel afraid of going to meet their girl friends parentsC. must promise that their family could support themD. must guarantee they live away from home already46.

We can infer from the last paragraph that .w_w w. k#s5_u.c o*mA. a young man can give his wife a jeweled watch on the birthday o
41、f their child B. the heirloom must be reset in a modern designC. the engagement ring and the wedding ring are differentD. some girls dont mind what they are given for the engagementCWalking around the corner and into the hall at three in the morning, lost in thought and dragging a mop bucket, I rais
42、ed my eyes to the front counter in indifference. A man, looking to be in his mid 40s,stood in a pink dress. A wide-edged hat stuck out over his massive frame resembling an umbrella that was a little too shabby and worn-out, making him look like a woman. The shock at seeing such a strong proud man in
43、 a cheap disgusting dress broke my heart, as well as frightened me. Dropping my mop on the floor in surprise and picking up my face that had temporarily fallen off, I confidently walked over to the desk. “Im sorry,” I began to say but was confused on whether sir or madam was appropriate. “Can I help
44、 you?” “I need a room,” he said in a gruff (粗哑的) powerful voice. “Sure thing,” I said bringing up the registry. “Can I get your last name?” “Hurgan,” he said briefly. “And your first name?” “Amanda.” Suddenly I had to direct all of my concentration on holding back a smile. A ten second pause of sile
45、nce passed while I tried to stay calm. “Okay,” I said getting back to the job, “can I get your phone number, Amanda?” All of the information was acquired and stored and Amanda received her room key for the night. All was well as I returned to the neglected mop bucket. Suddenly a low throaty cough dr
46、ew me out of my temporary mental disorder. Looking over at the desk where Amanda stood touching her thick biceps (二头肌) I once again dropped the mop in shock. “Im sorry about that,” I said coming around to the desk. Amanda stared with unease twisting her sleeve with her right index finger. “I have a
47、cat,” she said in a low voice. “Im sorry you what?” I asked leaning in closer. She drew back a bit as if I was some kind of threat. “I have a cat.” Looking up into her tall frame, I replied, “Thats fine. We just need to add an extra $10 fee.” She handed me her credit card once again. I swiped it, re
48、turned it, and grabbed the printing receipt. “You just need to sign here,” I said handing over the pen. She hesitantly grabbed it from my hand and signed. As she began to return it, my hand came a bit too close to connecting with hers. Scared and possibly a little disgusted she dropped the pen, caus
49、ing it to bounce off the counter and onto the floor. “Sorry,” she said, looking down. “I have to go get my cat.” While Amanda was getting her cat, an unpleasant thought was circling around my head. Here I was just doing my job and this, this WO-MAN was acting as if I was the monster! He was wearing
50、a pink dress! And I was the monster? Was he even still a man? The sliding doors opened and in came Amanda passing the front desk without even giving me a polite nod. 49. The story most probably happened at a _.A. pubB. hotelC. hospitalD. shop50. We can conclude that the authors attitude towards the
51、man is _.A. objectiveB. indifferentC. criticalD. considerate 51. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The author was on the edge of smiling when he heard the mans first name.B. When the man checked in, he tipped the author $10.C. After signing, the man grasped the au
52、thors hand and thanked him.D. The man gave the author a friendly nod while going toward his room.52. What might be the best title of this passage?A. A disgusting(恶心的) cat B. A considerate waiter C. A fierce monsterD. A strange-looking WO-MAN DHonesty comes in many forms. First theres self-honesty. I
53、s what people see the real article or do you appear through smoke and mirrors? I find that if I try to be something Im not, I feel unsure of myself and take out a part from my PBA(personal bank account ). I love how singer Judy Garland put it, “Always be a first-class version(版本) of yourself , inste
54、ad of a second-class version of somebody else .”Then theres honesty in our actions. Are you honest at school, with your parents, and with your boss? If youve ever been dishonest, I think we all have, try being honest, and notice how whole it makes you feel. Remember, you cant do wrong and feel right
55、. This story by Jeff is a good example of that:In my second year of study, there were three kids in my math class who didnt do well. I was really good at it. I would charge them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass. Id write on a little piece of paper all the right answers, and hand t
56、hem off.At first I felt like I was making money, kind of a nice job. I wasnt thinking about how it could hurt all of us. After a while I realized I shouldnt do that anymore, because I wasnt really helping them. They werent learning anything, and it would only get harder down the road. Cheating certa
57、inly wasnt helping me.It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests, lying to their parents, and stealing at work. But, remember, every act of honesty is a deposit（储蓄）into your PBA and will build strength .53. The underlined part “appear through smo
58、ke and mirrors” in the first paragraph means “_”. A. to be honest B. to be unreal C. to become clear D. to come from an imagined world54.

A. one must be brave to be honest B. its difficult to be honest when others are not C. one should be honest when making a deposit D. honesty in ones actions can help him in the future ETh
61、ere is, for many of us, a moment in life when we make a choice that changes us forever. This moment marks a turning point, when we realize that the life were living is not a mirror of who we really are.For some, the moment comes as a result of something dramatic: the sudden loss of a job, or the dea
62、th of a loved one. For others, they have to deal with difficult situations, such as financial hardship. In these challenging times, its more critical(关键时刻的) than ever for us to seize the possibility of positive change. As I travel and talk to people about their lives, I often see a distant, vacant l
63、ook in their eyes - a look that says “Im so busy trying to survive my life that no soul left to live it”. As a result, we end up feeling lonely. Yet we keep on going the way weve been going. We tolerate high levels of stress at work, take important relationships for granted, or put our health needs
64、on hold. We get so caught up in the details of living that our busyness becomes an excuse from the inner voice that begs us to listen. When you finally pay attention to that little voice and begin to make even small changes, you will slowly improve yourself. To start positive change, you need the po
65、wer of your mind. Ive come up with a five-step strategy that will help you. You will be able to identify what you want and then go after it. Its easier than you might think.1. Reset your happiness set point. Dont limit yourself! When I decided that I wanted more control over my life, I set goals in
66、physical, emotional, financial, professional, material, and play. I challenged myself to consider every possible choice. Imagine things youve never believed you could achieve. Dont let your past determine your future.2. Trust your courage. Too often, when youre first learning to take control of your
67、 life, you doubt yourself. Its important to develop a strong connection with your inner guidance system. Ive heard many stories about the persistent voice inside your head.3. Take action. Once you have set goals, adjusted your beliefs, and got ready, you can start making things happen. Again, turn t
68、o those people you respect - the ones achieving what you desire - for support and guidance. They will both inspire you and give you practical advice on what steps you need to take.4. Have faith. Believe that the positive energy of grace will support your efforts to improve your life. When youve done
69、 all you can, let go and trust that the right result will occur. When we have faith, we give up the need to be in control, and we set ourselves up to actually enjoy the process of change.5. Be patient. This can be the toughest step. Its not easy to trust that your life will improve in a best way. Re
70、mind yourself of the benefits of patience. In my experience, those life changes are always worth the wait.57. What does the author intend to say in the second paragraph?A. The start of some turning points in ones life is caused by crisis.B. Loss of a job or the death of a loved one are all dramatic
71、things.C. No one can live a life without any turning points.D. No one can predict his future of being good or not.58.

72、 to live an active life59.

73、ue according to the passage?A. When youve done all you can, you may believe that the right result will occur. B. When you set goals, and take action, it is possible to make things happen.C. When you first learn to take charge of your life, you will always doubt yourself.D. If things do not happen in
