三、阅读理解。

Many schools across the US hold graduation ceremonies this time of year. In some schools, even 5-and 6-year-olds observe their graduation from kindergarten(幼稚园). And so can older people, much older, like 70-year-old Jerry Reid, who just graduated from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He earned a bachelor’s degree.
Mr. Reid might not look like the common college student; his hair is much grayer. But still Jerry Reid’s age is easy to forget, and other UVA students know him as one of their own.
Mr. Reid joined the “Hoo Crew”, a group that cheers loudly for the school at sports events. He also joined a men’s group on campus. He sang drinking songs along with many other students. Mr. Reid’s school friends say they can talk to him just about anything.
About a half century ago, in his twenties, Mr. Reid was not in school. Instead, he was racing cars and drinking. But he says his friend Bill invited him to UVA parties.
“Bill told me what a terrible life I had unless I came up here and went to school with him,” said Reid.
That was in 1963. Jerry Reid says it took him 48 years to take that advice. In 2011, he entered college. UVA Professor Luke Wright says Mr. Reid influences students. He opened the minds of the young adults. The teacher says Mr. Reid showed them that life does not end at 70. Instead, the 70-year-old college graduate believes that getting older can be the beginning of a dream.
“Remember that path that you left waits for you. It’s there. It’s yours. All you must do is to get out of your own way and get back to it. And, that’s exactly what I did,” said Reid.
Mr. Reid says that he and his wife Susan now would take some time off to enjoy his college degree. Then, he’ll return to UVA to begin studying for his graduate degree.

C. When Mr. Reid entered college. D. Why the students like Mr. Reid.

Tips on Making a Decision
Decision-making never ends. It is an important part of everyday life, and it is how we choose our path. 6 Sometimes we leave things to luck. Other times we take a more active role. Here are some of the ways we usually make decisions.
◆ Make a list of pros and cons(利与弊). When you try to make a difficult decision, you can take out a piece of paper, and then list the pros and cons of each choice. 7
◆ Ask a friend. 8 While I don’t think this is always true, I can see how friends can point out certain things that we may be unaware of. By getting a choice from a third party who knows us well, we can get good ideas that we didn’t take into consideration before.
◆ 9 Some decisions require that we know more about the subject we are deciding on. Making a choice without first doing some research can turn things into a nightmare(噩梦), so don’t hurry. Take your time to search Google or Wikipedia or find a forum(论坛) to ask a couple of questions. Be careful and check your sources.
◆ Go to an expert. Seldom are we the most knowledgeable person on a particular subject. Our friends can sometimes be no better. 10 Investing(投资) Talk to a market analyst. Feeling depressed Go to see a psychologist. Not sure how to write a book Discuss tips with other authors.
