Choosing what you want to do with the rest of your life can be challenging, here are some suggestions on how to choose a college major that you will enjoy.

Let your core classes help you choose a major

If you are still in high school, take a look at each of your classes and identify which ones you enjoy most. If you’re going back to college after starting your career, think back to your best high school classes (e.g. Math, biology, history, etc.). This can help you identify your strengths and interests so you can narrow your list of possible university degree programs to a particular field of study.

Prioritize(划分优先顺序) your career wants and needs

First and foremost, a college major should be chosen based on your interest and career goals. However, it is not uncommon for students to select their majors based on the careers of their parents or siblings(兄弟姐妹).If following in their footsteps is not right for the student, then it will likely lead to an unfulfilling education and career.

When choosing a major, it is important to identify what aspects of a career are most important to you(money, creative freedom, helping people, working outdoors, etc.) Making a list of your top priorities will shed plenty of light on which degree or major is best for you. Also, talk to your parents and siblings about the choices they made and whether they think those majors and careers would be a good fit for you.

Additional tips for choosing majors

Seeking outside advice, not just from family members, is always recommended when choosing a college major. Talk with career counselors, high school teachers, guidance counselors and students who currently enrolled in a major you are interested in. Speaking to professors at universities or to professionals in the field can also give you a good idea of what you might expect from a career.

There are also tests you can take that give an insight into career matches, dominant personality characters and key interests. While a test should not dictate your choices, it can offer you a new perspective on yourself and open your eyes to majors and career prospects you didn’t consider.

21. Where does the support for your particular field of study mainly come from?

A. The college courses that you enjoy most.

B. Every class in your high school

C. The beginning of your career

D. Your best high school subjects

22. The last two paragraphs are mainly to discuss______________.

A. advice from others and tests

B. the careers of parents and siblings

C. suggestions from parents

D. professionals’ ideas about majors

23. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. My views on College Education

B. How to choose the Best College Major for you

C. Learning to Challenge Career Goals

D. Offering You a New Perspective on Yourself

B

A little more than 30 years ago, a teenager named Jadav “Molai” Payeng began burying seeds along a barren sandbar(沙洲) near his birthplace in northern India’s Assam. Not long after that, he decided to dedicate his life to this effort, so he moved to the site in order that he could work full-time creating a new forest ecosystem. Unbelievably, the spot today hosts a sprawling(蔓延的) 1360 acres of jungle that Payeng single-handedly planted.

The times of India recently caught up with Payeng in his remote forest cottage to learn more about how he came to leave such an unbelievable mark on the landscape.

It all started way back in 1979, when floods washed a large number of snakes ashore on the sandbar. One day after the floods, Payeng, only 16 then, found the place dotted with the dead snakes. That was the turning point of his life.

“The snakes died in the heat without any tree cover. I sat down and wept over their lifeless bodies. I asked the forest department if they could grow trees there. They said nothing would grow there. Instead, they asked me to try growing bamboo. It was painful, but I did it. There was nobody to help me. Nobody was interested,” says Payeng, now 47.

While it's taken years for Payeng’s remarkable dedication to planting to receive some well-deserved recognition internationally, it didn't take long for wildlife in the region to benefit from the forest. Demonstrating a keen understanding of ecological balance, Payeng even transplanted ants to his ecosystem to maintain its natural harmony. Soon the shadeless sandbar was transformed into a natural ecosystem. The forest, called the Molai woods, now serves as a safe habitat for numerous birds, deer, tigers and eleghants.

Despite Payeng’s outstanding project, forestry officials in the region first learned of this new forest in 2008, and since then they’ve come to recognize his efforts as truly remarkable, but perhaps not enough.

“ We’re amazed at Payeng,” says Gunin Sailia, Assistant Conservator of Forests. “ He has been at it for 30 years. Had he been in any other country, he would have been made a hero.”

24. Payeng moved to the barren sandbar to________________

A. make a living there B. plant trees to improve the environment

C. do some research D. look after the 1360 acres’ jungle

25. It can be concluded that the interview in the report above was conducted in _____________

A. 1979 B. 2008 C. 2010 D. 2012

26. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Payeng got a lot of help from the forest department at the beginning

B. It took quite a long time for Payeng’s dedication to be recognized

C. Payeng earned his fame by transplanting ants to his ecosystem.

D. The Molai woods now is used as a zoo to attract India tourists.

27. The underlined sentence implies that ________________

A. Payeng should be honored as a great hero in India.

B. Payeng has been a great hero in other countries

C. other countries should not make Payeng a hero

D. India made Payeng a hero earlier than other countries

C

One retired high school teacher in Canada has a great surprise for his former students that is 20 years in the making.

In 1994, Bruce Farrer’s ninth grade English class at Bert Fox Community High School in Saskatchewan, got a special assignment, reported the National Post. Farrer asked his students to write a 10-page letter to their future selves, which he then promised to mail to them 20 years later.

Farrer kept his promise to those students, as well as other students he taught during his more than 40-year career. “I was trying to think of some assignments that would be special, and it just sort of came up. Well, I would try this assignment,” Farrer said on CBC Morning Edition.

Although Farrer retired in 2002, he took several boxes of the letters from his former students with him, and began the long and difficult process of tracking them down and mailing the letters.

One former student, Scott Fulton, became a teacher himself and even taught for a while at the high school he went to as a teenager, acco
