There was a park near my home. But I didn’t go there very often. Many people said there was nothing special. One afternoon I went into the park and found it was really small. I walked quickly because there wasn’t much to see. I walked for some time and found myself standing in front of two paths.  I found that the two paths were different from each other.

The left one was wide and clean. There were lots of flowers on both sides of the path. Though the flowers weren’t very beautiful, they made me feel good. I decided to take this path. But wait! I looked at the right one. The path didn’t look nice.     Grass grew everywhere. For a long time I couldn’t make up my mind.

   It wasn’t nice , but I didn’t want to give up. At last, I came to the end of the path. Ah! There was a small garden there. It was beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful garden I had ever seen.     

Many people told me that there was nothing much to see in the park. Now I’d like to tell them that if they had followed the right way, they would have felt differently. But when I told them about what I had seen in the park, they just smiled at me without saying a word. I knew they didn’t believe me. They couldn’t even remember that path because it was so small.

   Don’t be afraid to choose a different path. You may get a big surprise!

A. There is nothing that I want to see.

B. It looked like it had not been cleaned for months.

C. After a while a strange feeling made me follow the dirty path.

D. “ Which way should I go?” I asked myself. I looked at one way, then the other.

E. I told them what happened.

F. My trip to the park that day made me understand something about life.

G. There were trees, flowers and chairs. I thought it was the nicest part of the park.

Are You Ready for College?
Before you send in your college applications, keep this in mind: it’s not the norm (準(zhǔn)則) in every culture for students to go to college right out of high school.
 【小題1】 So if you find yourself applying for college simply because it’s the thing to do after high school, think again. Going to college right after high school may be the norm in your community, but it’s not the norm everywhere and it may not be the best decision for you.
 【小題2】Yes, higher education often gives young people a big advantage in the working world, but not always. A solid technical or business school application can give you an advantage as well, and if the environment seems like a better one for you than a traditional college campus, this might be your best choice. A lot of people lead successful lives with a high school education and years of work experience.
The price of a college or university education has become a serious burden for young people and their families. 【小題3】In some cases, putting off college for a year or two while a student earns money full time can make sense. 【小題4】
 【小題5】 Almost all students suffer from homesickness, but for some students, the transition may be too much to deal with.

A．Is going to college always the best choice for high school graduates?
B．Spend some time considering your choices before sending in your applications.
C．Besides, it’s quite possible that going to college is not the right choice for you.

F. Many young people have other choices, like military service, work experience,
community service or travel.

especially if you move away from home.

Culture shock is a special disease for people who have suddenly moved to a foreign country.   1  .

These signs, which may be words, gestures, facial expressions, or customs, are acquired（獲得） by all of us in the course of growing up and as much a part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept.   3     .

Now when a person enters a strange culture, all or most of these familiar signs are removed. No matter how broadminded will you may be, a series of supports have been knocked from under you, followed by a feeling of failure in much the same way. 4  “The ways of the host country are bad because they make us feel bad.” When foreigners in a strange land get together to complain about the host country and its people, you can be sure that they are suffering from culture shock.

G. All of us depend on hundreds of these signs, most of which we do not carry on the level of conscious awareness（察覺）.
