I met Billy the last summer before college. He was handsome and his irreverence（玩世不恭）was 36 to me. We liked each other the first instant we met． 37 ，I was a straight Astudent and my parents had high hopes for me to 38 an Ivy League（常春藤联盟）school.Billy did not 39 into the equality. We were in love nevertheless-that 40 age love．I still remember we had a plan for prom（舞会）．It was understood that we had 41 about where we would dance and drink and party together. This meant one thing to my parents-panic．And it grew as the 42 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 college 43 in historic Providence ，Rhode Island． There was no 44 that I was drawn to Brown，but Billy (who had joined the army）was 45 down south and I had offers 46 for me there，too. I was torn between my love for him and my family 47 ． One week 48 the start of school，my mother had a talk with me．She said I was eigh years old and I had a 49 to make---one that went 50 beyond the choice of 51 to attend university. In August，I 52 and drove north to Providence．It took several months to 53 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 54 I now use to think，to learn and to write. Life is always about 55 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．appealing B．disturbing C．confusing D．amusing 小题2: A．Unfortunately B．Actually C．Luckily D．Originally 小题3: A．leave B．finish C．start D．attend 小题4: A．fit B．look C．break D．run 小题5: A．mature B．crazy C．normal D．wrong 小题6: A．talked B．looked C．lied D．argued 小题7: A．acceptance B．rejection C．application D．recommendation 小题8: A．located B．placed C．set D．laid 小题9: A．point B．challenge C．question D．need 小题10: A．left B．sent C．dismissed D．employed 小题11: A．hoping B．asking C．waiting D．searching 小题12: A．tradition B．expectation C．reputation D．connection 小题13: A．before B．after C．at D．since 小题14: A．decision B．plan C．rule D．promise 小题15: A．out B．away C．deep D．far 小题16: A．when B．how C．whether D．where 小题17: A．got up B．packed up C．held up D．turned up 小题18: A．foresee B．realize C．imagine D．consider 小题19: A．chances B．position C．tools D．equipment 小题20: A．surprises B．adventures C．opportunities D．choices
