  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.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

   Beginning college is exciting: new ideas to explore, new challenges to be met and many decisions to be made; your future begins here.

       1.      Many of us can be easily overwhelmed by the details of running a well-balanced life. While some of us may have the know-how, I guess there are more of us who can benefit from learning about the experiences of others who have walked the college halls before you.

   The following you may find of use about life on campus:

● Plan well. There are so many new things to do at a new college or university. Give yourself time to make new friends and became familiar with the campus, but don't forget why you are there.      2.    

●Don’t miss the guidelines. The restrictions, rules and regulations of all kinds can usually be found in your student’s handbook.       3.        What dates are important? What pieces of paper need to be handed in? What can / can’t you do in your student residence(住处)? Who has the right for what? What do you need to complete to graduate?

     4.       And maybe it will better help to write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the telephone, TV and the kitchen table. Consider this — you are paying thousands of dollars for your course. You pay every time you have to repeat or replace a course.

●Build your identity. This is the time for you to decide what to do and what not to do. Take as much time as you need to explore new ideas. Do not be afraid of the beyond.    5.    . 

A. If you don't have a "system" for planning your time now (like a daytimer, acomputer data book), get one.

B. Give some time for social activities and manage your time wisely.

C. Write the word "STUDY" on the walls of our bedroom and bathroom.

D. You must keep the word "STUDY" in your mind because you are a student.

E. However, you will find college life is different from your previous school environment.

F. This is learning to make good choices.

G. Consider them well-balanced food for thought.
