1．Choosing a university Kazumi
Mymain reason for coming here was the Human Rights course.When I was at school I couldn't decide whether I wanted to be a doctor or a lawyer，but having decided to be a lawyer，I then had to choose which first degree I should take before starting，law school in another city，I've always wanted to help people and I figured that taking Human Rights would allow me to learn about how I can make a real difference in the world.
Vladimir
I love maths.I was tom between two possibilities：I could become an engineer and apply maths at a practical level.Or I could become a maths teacher，I needn't have worried because in the end I didn't have to choose!I got everything I wanted thanks to my university，which will qualify me to be a high school teacher while gaining a general engineering degree at the same time.
Osvaldo
One of the reasons I chose this university was because of the effort that they put into organizing the open day.The lecturers and current students provide an enthusiastic overview of their courses and of life in the city.This was in contrast to other universities I visited，which just let their reputation do the talking.Although I chose not to live on campus，the rooms there seemed comfortable and very reasonably priced.
Maria
When the time came to select the university，I had three possibilities，but I still could not decide.So it was time to schedule campus tours.They all had their advantages，but this place instantly appealed to me.As soon as I arrived，I was struck by the smiles everyone gave me.What I value most here is the feeling that I am part of a supportive community.

3．In some places，people collect honey from wild bees.This is common in many parts of the world，especially South Asia.Honey hunting is a local tradition in southern India but it is not an undemanding job.The bees in southern India can grow up to the size of the smallest adult human finger.And these giant honey bees build their hives （蜂窩） on the sides of mountains!
It takes many years for a honey hunter to learn to collect honey from these hives.From a young age the honey hunter learns everything about bees.He practices climbing hundreds of meters above the ground.Before the honey season，the honey hunter prepares for many days.
When the day of the honey hunt season arrives，the honey hunter goes to the edge of the mountain early in the morning.He climbs down with a rope and lights some dry branches on fire.The smoke makes the bees leave the hive.With the bees flying around the honey hunter，he uses a long sharp stick to gently get pieces of the wax （蜜蠟） filled with honey.He then takes them back to the village in a box made of bamboo.
Usually the hunter takes some honey and leaves some of the hive on the mountainside.He does not take the part of the hive with the baby bees in it since he does not want to destroy the home of the bees.When the honey hunter returns，the village celebrates!
"They have been hunting honey in this way for more than 2，000 years.Honey was and still is an important part of their diet，cooking and medicine，" Simone Gie from the organization Slow Food International，said.

As we came down to breakfast that morning，with very shiny faces and spandy clean aprons，we found father alone in the dining-room.
"Happy New Year，papa!Where is mother？" we cried.
"A little boy came begging and said they were starving at home，so your mother went to see and--ah，here she is."
As papa spoke，in came mama，looking very cold，rather sad，and very much excited.
"Children，don't begin till you hear what I have to say，" she cried and we sat staring at her，with the breakfast untouched before us.
"Not far away from here，lies a poor woman with a little new-born baby.Six children are huddled into one bed to keep from freezing，for they have no fire.There is nothing to eat over there；and the oldest boy came here to tell me they were starving this bitter cold day.My little girls，will you give them your breakfast，as a New Year's gift？"
We sat silent a minute，and looked at the nice，hot porridge，creamy milk，and good bread and butter.
"I wish we'd eaten it up，" thought I，for I was rather a selfish child，and very hungry.
"I'm so glad you come before we began，" said Nan，cheerfully.
"May I go and help carry it to the poor，little children？" asked Beth，who had the tenderest heart.
"I can carry the last pot，" said little May，proudly giving the thing she loved best.
"And I shall take all the porridge，" I burst in，heartily ashamed of my first feeling.
"You shall put on your things and help me，and when we come back，we'll get something to eat，" said mother，beginning to pile the bread and butter into a big basket.
Paragraph 1：
We were soon ready and set out._____________

Seeing the house totally in a mess，we fell to work immediately.__________組卷：7引用：3難度：0.6
