　　My name is Eamon O’Kelly. I was less educated because of the poor living conditions when I was young. But I always think education can give me happiness and satisfaction. So I went back to university full-time at 38 to finish my BA(文学学士) degree.
I was the oldest student in all my classes but I would see a few older students around the college. I studied history and did very well. I didn’t have the distractions that are common among traditional-age students such as partying and boyfriend/girlfriend dramas; I had twenty years’ working experience, so I did everything well and on time; and I had real-world experience that helped me a lot.
When I was 41, I went to law school of New York University for my master’s(研究生) degree. Again, I was among the older students but not the oldest. There was a woman in my class who had graduated from college the year I was born! The same factors(因素) that had helped me in undergraduate(本科) studies also helped me in law school. I graduated in the top ten percent of my class at one of the best law schools in the United States.
People will always tell you you’re too old, talk to you how much you’ll lose, and bring up the opportunity cost. But you alone know what you really need. In your 40s you’re thinking about going back to school and making yourself better. Do it.

Ⅰ.1—5　DBADC　6—10　BDCDB
Ⅱ.【主旨大意】 有些人,人到中年、事业安稳、家庭和睦,不免就想继续完成年轻时未完成的梦想。人到中年回到学校读书是什么体验 Eamon O’Kelly 分享了她中年上大学的经历。
11.B　段落大意题。由第一段综合分析可知,作者少年时因为家境贫寒没有受到良好的教育及作者对教育的认识,这都是作者在中年要上大学的原因。
12.A　词义猜测题。由画线词后“that are common among traditional-age students such as partying and boyfriend/girlfriend dramas”可推断出,distractions表示“使人分心的事”。
13.B　推理判断题。由第一段和第三段可知,作者38岁去上大学,41岁去纽约大学读研究生。所以她的本科教育应当是用大约3年的时间完成的。
14.B　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I had twenty years’ working experience”可知,作者上大学前已经工作二十年了。
15.B　推理判断题。综合全文判断,作者在这篇文章中介绍了自己中年上大学的经历,与旅游、电影及科学无关,排除A、C、D选项,所以这篇文章有可能来自网站。
