Coll ege is the time when you’re expected to focus on your path in life. But it’s also the time you’re the l east equipped to have any l ong-term plan. 16 .
The whol e process can be divid ed into three stages.
The first is “gathering fuel”. This means buil ding up your skills, l earning from different experiences and d eveloping a network of peopl e who you trust and who trust you. And this is a stage that requires patience and a willingness to id entify your own weaknesses and work on them. If you compl ete this stage with a growing sense of what you l ove to d o and what you are good at, 17 .
The second stage is “burning fuel”. This is the time to improve the skills you’ve obtained through experiences, the peopl e you’ve met along the way and the recognition of what you should d o. 18 . We want to get where we’re going in a hurry, but that hardly works.
19 . Simply speaking, it’s about staying strong, whil e turning an eye towards what lies ahead. It’s a surprisingly l ong journey and most peopl e und erestimate it. You can’t expect an id eal life to happen by itself. You must recognize that no matter where you are on the path, each step is there to teach you something, feeding you that fuel.
If you’re not d oing what you want, you need more fuel —so go out and get it.
20 .
A. you are winning

C. The last part is “saving fuel”
D. The final part is “filling fuel”

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Diets have changed in China – and so too has its top crop. Since 2011, the country
41 (grow) more corn than rice. Corn production has jumped nearly 125 percent over
42 past 25 years, while rice has increased only 7 percent.
A taste for meat is 43 (actual) behind the change: An important part of its corn is used to feed chickens, pigs, and cattle. Another reason for corn’s rise: The government encourages farmers to grow corn instead of rice 44 (improve) water quality. Corn uses l ess water 45 rice and creates l ess fertilizer (化肥) runoff. This switch has d ecreased 46 (pollute) in the country’s major lakes and reservoirs and mad e drinking water safer for peopl e.
According to the World Bank, China accounts for about 30 percent of total 47 (gl obe) fertilizer consumption. The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture finds that between 2005 –when the government 48 (start) a soil –testing program 49 gives specific fertilizer recommendations to farmers – and 2011, fertilizer use dropped by 7.7 million tons. That prevented the emission (排放) of 51.8 million tons of carbon dioxid e. China’s approach to protecting its environment whil e 50 (feed) its citizens “offers useful l essons for agriculture and food policymakers worldwid e,” says the bank’s Juergen Voegel e.

Since I was a kid, I`ve considered different job I would like to do. First, I wanted to be a fireman, whose uniform looked so coolly. Then, when I was in the five grade, I wanted to be a teacher because I liked my English teacher too much. When I studied chemistry high school, I reconsidered my goal or decided to be a doctor. They were two reasons for the decision. One was that I was amazing at the fact that a sick person could feel much more better after seeing a doctor. And the other is that I wanted to help people in need.
