　　One of the best decisions you can make in your twenties is to explore．Exploring postcollege choices looks a lot like being lost; in fact, being lost is normal and productive at this stage in life．

　　In the past, people were penalized(处罚)for getting lost．For example, dropping out of high school for a year to explore made colleges think you were hospitalized for mental instability．But it's a different story today．Right after college, you don't get dinged(教训)for taking time off．Most graduate and professional schools today would prefer the students who take time to go away, have different experiences, and then come back refocused．

　　Why is there so much respect for exploration? Part of the reason is that there is no better way of figuring out what will make you happy．“We are not very good at using our imaginations when it comes to how we'll feel in a given circumstance,” says Daniel Gilbert, a professor of psychology at Harvard University．Therefore, he recommends that we test out a lot of different careers．He admits that this method takes time, but he says it's worth it because otherwise you're likely to make a decision based on money, which does not always lead to happiness．

　　What about the people who pull their life together in a tight little package by age twenty－fou? They're the exception to the rule, according to Wayne Osgood, a professor of sociology at Pennsylvania State University．He labels these people “fast starters” and explains that they are only about 12 percent of the population．Some fast starters are just plain lucky：they love the first job they get after college．The other 88 percent of us have to march through our twenties formulating(规划)a new career plan．

　　The good news is that this is what most people are doing in their twenties：wandering, taking trips, changing jobs every year, volunteering for unpaid work while living at their parents' house, and starting businesses that fail．All these choices are, surprisingly, right on track for making a good decision about what to do with yourself in adult life．

Beldon and Canfield are two seashore towns, not far apart. Both towns have many hotels, and in summer the hotels are full of holiday-makers and other tourists.

Last August there was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel in Beldon. The next day, this news appeared on page two of the town’s newspaper. The Beldon Post:

FIRE AT SEABREEZE

Late last night firemen hurried to the Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom. The hotel manager said that a cigarette started the fire. We say again to all our visitors： “Please don’t smoke cigarettes in bed.” This was Beldon’s first hotel fire for five years.

The Canfield Times gave the news in these words on page one：

ANOTHER BELDON HOTEL CATCHES FIRE

Last night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and some furniture at the Seabreeze Hotel. An angry holiday-maker said, “An electric lamp probably started the fire. The bedroom lamps are very old at some of these hotels. When I put my bedside light on, I heard a funny noise from the lamp.” We are glad to tell our readers that this sort of adventure does not happen in Canfield.

What are the facts, then? It is never easy to find out the exact truth about an accident. There was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel last August: that is one fact. Do we know anything else? Yes, we know that firemen went to the hotel.

Now what do you think of the rest of the “news” ?

Which of the following best gives the main idea of this text?

A. Beldon and Canfield are both good places for tourists in summer.

B. A fire broke out night in Seabreeze Hotel last summer.

C. It was not easy to find out exact truth from newspapers.

D. Two newspapers gave reports on the same matter.

Which of the following are probably facts?

a. The fire broke out in a bedroom at the hotel.

b. A cigarette started the fire.

c. An old lamp started the fire.

d. The fire broke out at night.

e. There has never been a fire in Canfield.

A. b and c B. a and d C. c and e D. a and c

The Canfield Times used the headline like this in order to make its readers think _______.

A. hotels in Beldon often catch fire

B. hotels in Beldon don’t often catch fire

C. this was the second fire at the Seabreeze Hotel

D. Beldon was a good place except that hotels there are not quite safe

The Canfield newspaper gave a report just the opposite to the Beldon Post by saying that _______.

A. the bedroom lamps were very old at the Seabreeze Hotel

B. the bedroom lights made funny noise when the fire took place

C. the firemen failed to save clothing, bedclothes and other things

D. such accidents never happened in Canfield for the past 5 years
