I met Billy the last summer before college. He was handsome and his irreverence(玩世不恭) was to me. We liked each other the first instant we met. , I was a straight A student and my parents had high hopes for me to an Ivy League (常春藤联盟) school. Billy did not concentrate all his attention his study and school life. However, we were in love --- so ager love. I still remember we had a plan for prom(舞会). It was understood that we had about where we would dance and drink and party together. This meant one thing to my parents---panic. And it grew as the letters began to roll in. Of the eleven schools I applied to, nine accepted me. And one of them was Brown University---the Ivy League in 1770 in historic Providence, Rhode Island. There was no that I was drawn to Brown, but Billy (who had joined the army) was down south and I had offers for me there, too. I was torn between my love for him and my family . One week the start of school, my mother had a talk with me. She said I was eigh years old and I had a to make--- one that went beyond the choice of to attend university. In August, I and drove north to Providence. It took several months to that my life was moving on in a way that was completely different from Billy’s. Brown changed my life, opening doors and giving me the I now use to think, to learn and to write. Life is always about it seems, and the older I get, the more I understand this. Still, there are times when I think of Billy because he taught me about love. 小题1: A．confusing B．disturbing C．appealing D．amusing 小题2: A．Unfortunately B．Actually C．Luckily D．Originally 小题3: A．leave B．start C．finish D．attend 小题4: A．in B．at C．on D．from 小题5: A．special B．crazy C．wrong D．normal 小题6: A．talked B．looked C．lied D．argued 小题7: A．description B．rejection C．application D．acceptance 小题8: A．constructed B．assessed C．assisted D．informed 小题9: A．point B．use C．doubt D．need 小题10: A．left B．sent C．exposed D．employed 小题11: A．waiting B．asking C．hoping D．searching 小题12: A．tradition B．connection C．reputation D．expectation 小题13: A．before B．after C．at D．since 小题14: A．plan B．decision C．rule D．promise 小题15: A．out B．away C．far D．deep 小题16: A．when B．where C．whether D．how 小题17: A．got up B．packed up C．looked up D．turned up 小题18: A．foresee B．imagine C．realize D．consider 小题19: A．chances B．position C．equipment D．tools 小题20: A．surprises B．adventures C．opportunities D．choices
