9.I stopped at my bank last week to deposit a check.I could have used the ATM,but I am so glad that I didn't because if I had,I probably would not have met Harold.
There were 3 or 4 people ahead of me in the line-up,so I amused myself by watching TV,just waiting my turn.Moments passed.Then,directly in front of me,a tiny elder woman,who was now first in line,started toward one of the counters.But the customer before her didn't finish,so she had to step back.Her backward movement caused my attention to be drawn to the customer directly ahead of us.As he was facing the counter,I could see only his white hair and the bright red team jacket.I heard him say to the teller in a deep,strong voice…"Have a Great Day!"and the teller replied,"You too,Harold-see you next week!"
The impatient woman again made her move,heading for the counter.As she passed him,Harold looked up,directly at me,saying,"You are a handsome man,sir."I was so surprised by his statement and struck by the genuine warmth and generosity that filled it that I blurted out"Thank you,sir."instantly reaching out to shake his hand,out even realizing that he was walking with a walking stick.He switched it to his left hand and took my hand in his warm and firm grip."I really care about you!"He spoke again.Then he reached out to the next person in line and said,"I really care about you,too!"
I was so overcome by his innocent and sincere gift!He was like a 4-year-old,who walked up to everyone,inviting them to play with him.I wondered to myself afterwards.How was he attained this state of grace?Imagine the warm feeling he leaves behind his as he sails through this world,touching people for just a moment.He dropped a stone into the peaceful ocean of my reality that is still rippling outward as you hear and hopefully,some of what Harold so unselfishly pass on to me,that In attempt to pass on to you-I really care about you!

5.The day I got accepted into NYU,I was too excited to fall asleep.All of my hard work had finally paid off.I wanted to become a filmmaker,so NYU Tisch was basically the best thing that could have happened to me.
But I turned it down.
It all started when I took a gap year.I was offered the opportunity to study abroad in a gap year program,so NYU was on hold and I set sail for my year off.When I returned home,nothing felt the same.
First of all,I started to realize that my dream might not be worth the cost.NYU is expensive.Did I really want to take on such severe debt just for a degree in film?
In February of 2014,I formally withdrew my acceptance from NYU and started the college application process all over again.
Luckily,I was accepted to a few small art schools closer to home.So,here I am today,studying English at a college in a quiet town by the beach.
This school is definitely less challenging than a more elite (精英) school would have been,but The New York Times argues that that can work to my advantage.I'm more likely to graduate at the top of my class in this environment,thus leading to more job opportunities in the future.
I won't say that I don't think about what my life would have been like at NYU.I do.All the time.Sometimes with sadness,but never with regret.
So don't be afraid to change your mind.There's strength in recognizing when something doesn't feel right.Don't believe the view about having to attend the most celebrated college in order to lead a successful life.Studies show that if you're a good student,what school you attend doesn't really matter at all.College is a match to be made,not a prize to be won.

29.Why did the author turn down NYU?D
A.He wanted to take a gap year program.
B.He didn't like the major he had chosen.
C.He decided to work rather than go to college.
D.He felt attending NYU wouldn't be worth the debt.
30.What did the author major in at last?C
A.Environmental protection.
B.Film making.
C.Language.
D.Art.
31.What might be the author's; opinion?C
A.Good students should attend a good university.
B.Only famous schools can give you a better future.
C.The best university is not necessarily the best choice.
D.A chance to attend a good university is worth anything.
3.For most people,plastic bags are a necessity of any shopping trip.They might seem like an innocent way to carry groceries,but dealing with these bags can be harmful for the environment.
It's reported that the world uses about 500 billion plastic bags each year and fewer than 3% are recycled.Plastic bags that end up in oceans and beaches are harmful to fish,birds,and other animals.As a result,cities and states have been trying for years to find a way to get people to cut back on using plastic bags.
This year,New York City was prepared to add a 5-cent tax on the use of paper or plastic bags in stores,but Governor Andrea Cuomo signed a law that blocked(反对) the tax.Cuomo said the tax idea was"deeply faulty"because it would have allowed store owners to keep the money from the tax instead of putting it toward environmental efforts.Cuomo announced plans to create a task force to look into the plastic-bag problem.By the end of the year,the task force may suggest a statewide ban of plastic bags,a tax on them,or something entirely new.
Several cities around the country have either banned plastic bags or charged a fee for their use.In Washington,D.C.,the charge is 5 cents per bag.Since the fee started there,the number of plastic bags on the streets and waterways dropped by 60%.Seattle,Washington,has banned plastic carryout bags and charges a minimum of 5cents for paper.Chicago,Illinois,will soon add a 7-cent tax on paper and plastic bags.
In New York,some politicians who thwarted,a tax say it puts,too much to tress on low-income citizens and working families.They argue that those people need the money to spend on food,not on bags.

28.What do the majority of people think of plastic bags?C
A.They are easy to be recycled.
B.They do little harm to wild animals.
C.Shopping can't be done without them.
D.Handling them benefits the environment.
29.Why did Andrea Cuomo sign a law against the bag tax?A
A.Because he thought it was quite imperfect.
B.Because he thought it was something new.
C.Because he thought it would affect the sales of bags.
D.Because he thought it would increase consumers'burden.
30.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?D
A.The higher bag fees are,the better.
B.Paper bags will eventually replace plastic bags.
C.More states in the USA will ban the use of plastic ones.
D.Charging bag fees helped decrease the use of plastic bags.
31.Which of the following can replace the underlined word"thwarted"in the last paragraph?B
A.desired     
B.opposed    
C.abolished     
D.suggested.
