26、阅读理解。

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(不确定) in such positive（积极的）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（咨询）, 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

A. She couldn’t find a well-paid job.

B. She had no money to start a business.

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

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

C. Sorry.     D. Satisfied.

【4】 What may be discussed in the following paragraph?

A. How to deal with uncertainty.

Man has polluted the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up(用光) or the river was not clean in a place, man went to another place. Now man is 【4】 (slow) polluting the whole world.

Air pollution is still the most serious. It's bad for 【5】 (live) things in the world.

Many【6】 (country) don't let people burn(燃烧) anything bad for air in houses, and factories in the city. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It's caused by(由……引起) heavy traffic. People say it's best 【7】 (ride) bikes. When you are riding, there is no pollution. But even in developed countries, most people don't go to work【8】 (介词) bike. It's not because bikes are expensive or people are tired if they ride to work. It's because the number of cars on the roads becomes larger. So more people put away their bikes and go to work by car, then things are getting worse【9】 (连词) worse. We should have special roads only for bikes and make it so【10】 (difficult) and expensive for drivers to take their cars into the city that they will go back to use their bikes.
