I have only one hand.” Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me, “And don't ever use that as an excuse for anything again !”In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars（攀登架）, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “we'll see about that” look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars. “Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook (钩) the bar with my other elbow(肘) . Day after day we practiced and she praised me for every rung（横档）I reached.I'll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs，I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing(啜泣). I could hear Mom come into my room.“Mom,”I said, weeping,“None of the boys would dance with me.”For a long time, I didn't hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, some day you'll be beating those boys off with a bat. " Her voice was weak and cracking. I looked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks.

It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines.Some scientists have proposed (提议) setting a noise limit of one hundred and twentydecibels (分贝) in oceans. They have observed that noises at the level can frighten and confuse whales.A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that loud noises could seriously injure some animals. They found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales’ ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died.Some researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research. Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals.

But apart from obstacles(障碍) such as the GRE and TOEFL exams, choosing a good graduateschool is no easy task.Admission is very competitive for international students, so it is important to apply for a number of institutions to have a reasonable chance of acceptance.Since the application to most universities requires a certain fee, Chinese students usually choose seven to 17 universities according to their own financial circumstances.Wang Yuwei, a Zhejiang University graduate, sent applications to 15 US universities. When the 24-year-old girl began looking for a US graduate school in her senior year, she took time to compare the various schools and find the ones most suiting her needs. Now, studying at the University of Washington, she knows that her hard work paid off.“To broaden your chances, at least one third of the applications should be to less selective schools,” said Wang. “Applicants shouldn’t limit their choices to the most famous institutions.”Furthermore, one shouldn’t rely on too much on college ranking s such as the Gorman Report or US News & World Report’s annual league tables.The right school is the one that best meets your own personal needs and interests, rather than someone else’s assessment of an institution’s reputation.“Usually choices are based on one’s personal interests and academic background, but it is important to make sure that your chosen subject is satisfying,” said Wang.32. The author believes that the right school is the one that _____.A. has the best locationB. offers good living conditionsC. best meets one’s assessment of an institution’s reputation.D. best meets one’s own personal needs and interests33.

What will be continued after this passage?A. How hard Chinese students studied in America.B. Some advice on how to take care of yourself in America.C. Some other things to consider to choose the right school.D. The difficulties you will meet with while living in America第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分l0分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
