B.
Love is a two - way street
A father sat at his desk and looked at his bills when his young son rushed in and announced: "Dad, because today is your birthday and you're 40 years old, I'm going to give you 40 kisses, one for each year!" When the boy started making good on his word (履行諾言 ) , the father shouted:  "Andrew, don’t do it now. I'm too busy! "
The boy soon fell silent as tears fell from his big blue eyes. Feeling sorry, the father said: "You can finish later.  The boy said nothing but quietly walked away." That evening the father said:  "Come and finish the kisses now,  Andrew!" But the boy didn’t.
Unfortunately, a few days later after the father's birthday, the boy had an accident and died.  His sad father wrote: "If only(要是...,該多好)i could tell him how sorry I am for my thoughtless words,  and how much my heart is hurting."

You might think that Western students are less shy when they meet something new or come to a new environment , but the truth is that pupils in the UK can be uncomfortable too. Being at university can make Britons feel nervous. Everyone finds it difficult to talk to the other gender(性別) at school.
However, there is a way of dealing with this shyness in Britain, and it is called “Freshers Week”. Freshers Week is designed to help people socialize(適應(yīng)社會(huì)) and lose their inhibitions(拘謹(jǐn)). It is a one-week long party for first year students to welcome them before lectures and coursework begin.
I remember my first week at university—it was terrifying. I looked at the schedule for Freshers Week and was amazed at how much was planned. Every hall organizes its own events to help students become friends with the people they live with. My hall was called "Goldney Hall" and the week ahead included(包括) a talent show, a comedy night,and themed parties, including one for which we had to dress up as golfers.
The first event I went to was a school kid party at which everyone dressed up as if they were in school. This party encouraged me to talk to all the people on my floor. One boy, who lived opposite my room, was very handsome and I felt nervous speaking to him at first. But when we met at the party dressed in silly school outfits(裝備), I remember feeling a lot more relaxed speaking to him.
My Freshers Week was busy, but I managed to forget how scared I was. There is one thing's for sure: Nothing helps you lose your inhibitiongs quite like dressing up as a golfer.
【小題1】How do Britons feel when they first go to college?
【小題2】What was the name of the writer's hall?
【小題3】How many events did the writer's hall organize?
【小題4】Is the party for all students or first year students?
【小題5】What was the first event the wtiter went to?
