The United States is full of automobiles (機(jī)動(dòng)車(chē)). There are still many families without cars. But some families have two or     more cars. However, cars are used for more than pleasure. They are a     part of life.

Cars are used for      . They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to       their jobs. When salesmen are sent to       parts of the city, they have to drive in order to       their products. Farmers have to drive into the city in order to shop for necessities.

Sometimes, small children must be driven to      . In some cities, school buses are used only when children        more than a mile from the school. When the children are too      to walk that far, their parents take       driving them to school. One        drives on Mondays, taking her children and the neighbors' children as well. Another mother drives on Tuesdays, another on Wednesdays and so on. This is        forming a car pool (拼車(chē)). Working people also form car pools, with three or four people taking turns driving to the place     they work.

More car pools should be formed in order to put       cars on the road and to use less oil.       is a great problem, and so is the traffic in and around cities. Too many cars are being driven. Something should be done about the use of cars.

Story writing was for students in Grade 7 and Grade 8. These students are always fond of cartoons, so they got interested in this activity. Reading the stories they made up, all the visitors couldn’t help speaking highly of them.

Paul and I live in the same building. His room is on the sixth floor but mine is on the fifth. He’s very careless and sometimes he gets into trouble.

Last Friday afternoon the young man and his friends went to spend the weekend on a wild island. They could swim, fish, play the guitar and sleep in the quiet place at night. They enjoyed themselves there and could do anything they wanted. On the third morning they decided to get back to the land. But their boat hit a rock and soon went down. With the villagers’ help, they swam to the bank. Luckily none of them was hurt. They took a taxi and half an hour later they arrived at our town, but it was two in the night. The young man was hungry and thirsty. He wished to get home as soon as possible. Something was wrong with the lift, so he had to go up the stairs. He stopped by my door and brought out a key. Of course he could not open the door. Half an hour passed but he failed. He became angry and shouted, “I’ll cut you down with a knife!”

The noise woke me up and I opened the door. I understood at once what was happening and said, “You’re trying to open a wrong door, Paul!”

“Sorry, I can’t agree with you, Charlie!” said the young man, “It’s my room. You’ve entered it by mistake!”

If you could see a movie of your life before you lived it, would you want to live it? Probably not. The excitement of living is that you don’t know what’s coming.

    Sure, it’s hard to see uncertainty(不確定) in such positive（積極的）light when you’re out of work, or when you feel like you’re failing. But uncertainty is really another word for chance.

    When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chances all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do. She took a job in consulting（咨詢(xún)）, but she knew she wouldn’t stay there. She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income（收入）by teaching students. Still, she didn’t think she wanted to go to graduate school（研究院）. Allison knew she wasn’t doing what she wanted, but she didn’t know what she wanted.

    She worried. All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses. She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out. After six years, Allison, by having a general（全面的）plan in mind, got married, moved to the Midwest, and used her consulting experience to get a great job. Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way: time well spent.

    The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty. Otherwise your life is not your own—it is a path someone else has chosen. Moments of uncertainty are when you create your life, when you become who you are. Uncertainty usually begins with a job hunt, but it doesn’t end there. Every new role we take on means another round of uncertainty. Instead of fearing it, you should find some ways to deal with uncertainty.

1. From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that                     .

A. being out of work is a sad thing               

B. uncertainty is what makes life interesting

C. life in a film is more exciting than real life  

D. chance never appears when we need it

2. What troubles Allison after graduation?

A. She couldn’t find a well-paid job.             

B. She had no money to start a business.

C. She was not sure what to do.                  

D. She didn’t score high enough for graduate school.

3.How did Allison feel about her six years’ working experience?

A. Uncertain.        B. Amazed.                      C. Sorry.                         D. Satisfied.

4.What may be discussed in the following paragraph?

A. How to deal with uncertainty.                                   

B. What role uncertainty plays in life.

C. Why people fear uncertainty.                          

D. Whom to go to when facing uncertainty.
