第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）

A
At my daughter’s presentation ceremony the other day, the school principal reminded the kids of that truth： they could have multiple careers in their lifetimes.
As I lay in bed that evening, I thought about another truth. It’s not just different careers that await each child. It’s a set of completely different lives.
I thought about my own life. Five years ago I was in an unhappy marriage； living in a house that I felt wasn’t mine. I felt anxious most of the time and not in control of my own future.
Now, I live in my own beautiful apartment. My family life is peaceful, filled with laughter and the purrs of our three-year-old cat. I date and have a bunch of new friends—people who didn’t even know me back when I was married. My life is barely recognizable. I created a whole new reality.
I have always known that great change is possible. I am the great grandchild of
Eastern European immigrants who left their countries with few contacts and even less in English. From the villages of Russia and Poland, they created businesses and communities and English-speaking families. Their worlds towards the end of their lives would have barely been like the lives into which they were born.
My own parents moved to a new city with two small children and started a brand new life with a new set of friends. And my grandmother lived two completely different lives. For my entire childhood she was a widow (寡妇）after my grandfather died suddenly at 43. She raised her daughters alone, rarely traveled out of her hometown and cared for her elderly mother. At 68, after being single for 26 years, she surprised us all by falling in love and remarrying. She and Harry socialized endlessly, traveled around the country and spent summers at their second home by the sea. They lived their new adventurous lives well into their nineties.
Life is full of possibilities. It is full of changes. We assume that our lives are linear, leading from birth to death in a straight path. But they can change. They can have sharp twists. They can double back and leap forward and begin another story altogether. 36. How did the author feel in the first marriage? A. Hopeful. B. Scared. C. Helpless. D. Satisfied. 37. What made the family feel unexpected about her grandma? A. Being a widow for a long time. B. Her decision to start a new life. C. Her happy life with Harry. D. Moving out of her hometown. 38. The author took her family for example to show that . A. they experienced hardships and joys B. they were working hard C. they lived a happy life D. they don’t like the new life 39. The best title for this passage might be .
