【题目】 “So, what are you doing after graduation?” Many juniors and seniors get bored answering that question over and over. Most students, however, choose to go to college for further study.1

Talking to Your Parents

2 Talk openly with your parents about your plans---both for the short term and the long term. If your parents want you to go to a college but you don’t feel that college is right for you, explain why.

3

Your parents probably don’t know everything. For school and career guidance, visit your school consultant and talk with adult friends. Make an effort to talk to people in the fields that interest you. Ask friends in college about their schools and other schools they’re familiar with.

Making a Decision

Some people know from an early age exactly what they want to be and how they plan to get there. However, not all of us are so sure of our plans, though, and that’s OK too. School is also not just about careers and getting a high-paying job after graduation----it’s a place for learning about yourself and the world. 4 You can always go back to school or change a career path----lots of people do.

Selecting a School

If college is in your future, you need to plan. Which schools appeal to you? How do you decide on a school when there are thousands to pick from? Once you’ve narrowed down your choices, you can visit their websites or make arrangements to visit. 5

A. Whatever you choose to do now does not have to be what you do forever.

B. This is the fact that young people have to take into consideration.

C. Getting advice.

D. Try to do this during school time so you can get a good idea of what life is really like on campus.

E. Talking to friends.

F. What if your post-graduation plans differ from what your parents have in mind

G. Here are some practical tips to prepare yourself for the journey.

【题目】 One of the important subjects in contemporary poetry is identity—with an open-ended explanation of that word. Poets, young and old, are exploring what identity is, using their own lives as the background.

British poet Phoebe Power, in her first collection of poems, Shrines of Upper Austria, explores a different aspect of identity: a personal understanding of national identity. The collection received the Forward Prize for Best First Collection and was on the final list for the T.S. Eliot Prize.

Power was born in Newcastle-on-Tyne and raised in Cumbria. She has taken part in a number of performance art and video art projects. She received a Northern Writers’ Award in 2014 and an Eric Gregory Award from the Society of Authors in 2012. Now she lives in York in northern England.

Power’s starting point is her grandmother. She came to England from Austria as a new bride married to a British soldier in 1946, the first year after the end of World WarⅡ. Imagine the reactions of her British neighbors and her new British family. Imagine what she had left behind. The grandmother’s experiences influenced Power greatly.

In Shrines of Upper Austria, we walk with the poet to see her grandmother’s life before Britain. We can learn about the small town where she lived, the bodies of water, and buildings that existed when her grandmother lived there. Power also added some prose(散文) to the book, which tells us some stories of her grandmother’s early life. For example, it tells the stories about how her grandmother was found as a baby and given to a farmer when she was two.

The poems in the collection are pieces of a life. We can no more walk in our grandparents’ shoes than they can walk in ours. However, we can study old family photographs. We can see pieces of their lives—where they lived, perhaps; where they played as children; what lakes or rivers they swam in. Like Power, we are left with pieces. These pieces don’t all make sense, but collectively they show a life.
