但事实并非如此。
词句自测
instantly adv. 立即，马上
childhood n. 童年，儿童时代

I didn't know that only kids want to show themselves as adults. I didn't listen to my parents and teachers, and my grades became poor. Then came the high school entrance exam.
At the turning point of my life, my Mom wanted to have a conversation with me. I wanted to turn it down, but when I looked at her eyes, I felt I couldn't refuse. Instead of asking me to study hard, to my surprise, Mom just asked what I wanted to do in the future. Without thinking too much, I just said I would like to study hard.
Mom smiled and asked again: “I asked what do you WANT to do？” I never seriously thought about the question. So, I kept silent. “Whether you want to go on studying or enter the society？” she went on, “it is your own decision. Your life should be decided by you, not by anyone else, including me.” After saying that, she had tears in her eyes. For the first time in my life, I was asked to make my own decision. I sat in my chair and thought about myself, my life and what kind of person I wanted to become.
It took me what seemed to be ages to make the biggest decision so far in my life—I wanted to be a man who makes a difference in the world. To achieve that, I needed to study hard.
The path to my future became clear to me. I didn't act rebelliously (叛逆地) any more. With passion in my heart, I studied hard. Now, I'm one of the best students in the class. Thanks to that decision, I have become what I am today.

The moment I was born, I seemed to be part of a set, as if my twin brother David and I were a package deal. We faced constant comparisons in our physical appearance. People were always comparing our personalities and academic performances as well! These constant comparisons made me decide not to go to the same university as my twin brother.
That is not to say we didn't have good academic experiences in the past or didn't get along. In eleventh grade, we were placed in the same math experimental class. I recall arriving early to the first class and being a bit disappointed when I saw David already seated at his desk. It is hard to avoid comparisons when we were in the same class. However, we found that we actually worked well together, in our own way. We would argue about the best way to solve a problem and debate its answer. As the year went on, I noticed that our teacher kept moving us closer and closer together. Our argument was actually productive.
However, we were two very different candidates. I was very involved in extracurricular activities (课外活动), while David had better test scores than I did. I'm fond of writing while David enjoys playing computer games. I am currently studying English and French at McGill University, while David is studying computer science at Union College.
Besides escaping comparisons, there have been other benefits to going to different universities. The first one is that we are forced to talk to each other, as we no longer see each other every day. This is healthier for our relationship. The second, also the more important one, is that after having so many similar experiences together we can have our own experiences separate from one another.
Going to a different university has benefited me thus far. It allows for more personal growth, and I'm not attached to the label of being a twin.

7．The author chose to go to a different university in order to ________．
A．avoid seeing David
B．escape arguing with David
C．pursue a different experience

Dear Miss Kind，
I am a senior three student. I am sorry to disturb you, but would you be so kind as to do me a favor
The summer vacation is coming and I have been planning to find a part time job. However, my parents do not approve of my plan and think that I should spend more time studying instead of wasting my precious time on a job. I don't agree with them because I think taking a job will bring me not only some extra pocket money but also practical life skills. I don't want to quarrel with them, but what should I do about their opposition
I am looking forward to your early reply.
Yours，
Li Jin

I made an important decision when I was in Junior 3. Before I made that decision, I was one of the boys who tried too hard to act as an adult. I didn't know that only kids want to show themselves as adults. I didn't listen to my parents and teachers, and my grades became poor. Then came the high school entrance exam.
At the turning point of my life, my Mom wanted to have a conversation with me. I wanted to turn it down, but when I looked at her eyes, I felt I couldn't refuse. Instead of asking me to study hard, to my surprise, Mom just asked what I wanted to do in the future. Without thinking too much, I just said I would like to study hard.
Mom smiled and asked again: “I asked what do you WANT to do？” I never seriously thought about the question. So, I kept silent. “Whether you want to go on studying or enter the society？” she went on, “it is your own decision. Your life should be decided by you, not by anyone else, including me.” After saying that, she had tears in her eyes. For the first time in my life, I was asked to make my own decision. I sat in my chair and thought about myself, my life and what kind of person I wanted to become.
It took me what seemed to be ages to make the biggest decision so far in my life—I wanted to be a man who makes a difference in the world. To achieve that, I needed to study hard.

The moment I was born, I seemed to be part of a set, as if my twin brother David and I were a package deal. We faced constant comparisons in our physical appearance. People were always comparing our personalities and academic performances as well! These constant comparisons made me decide not to go to the same university as my twin brother.
That is not to say we didn't have good academic experiences in the past or didn't get along. In eleventh grade, we were placed in the same math experimental class. I recall arriving early to the first class and being a bit disappointed when I saw David already seated at his desk. It is hard to avoid comparisons when we were in the same class. However, we found that we actually worked well together, in our own way. We would argue about the best way to solve a problem and debate its answer. As the year went on, I noticed that our teacher kept moving us closer and closer together. Our argument was actually productive.
However, we were two very different candidates. I was very involved in extracurricular activities (课外活动), while David had better test scores than I did. I'm fond of writing while David enjoys playing computer games. I am currently studying English and French at McGill University, while David is studying computer science at Union College.
Besides escaping comparisons, there have been other benefits to going to different universities. The first one is that we are forced to talk to each other, as we no longer see each other every day. This is healthier for our relationship. The second, also the more important one, is that after having so many similar experiences together we can have our own experiences separate from one another.
篇章导读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者不喜欢别人把他和他的双胞胎兄弟作比较，所以决定读不同的大学。事实证明这样不仅有利于他们各自的发展，而且还促进了他们之间的关系。
Going to a different university has benefited me thus far. It allows for more personal growth, and I'm not attached to the label of being a twin.

A．He was fed up with people's comparisons.
B．He was glad to hear people's comparisons.
C．He is more handsome than David.
D．He was better at academic subjects than David.
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“People were always ... my twin brother.”可推知，作者对人们的比较感到厌烦。故选A。
6．What does the author think of him and David studying in the same math experimental class
A．Boring. B．Harmful.
C．Awful. D．Beneficial.
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“However, we found ... was actually productive.”可知，事实证明作者和双胞胎兄弟一起在数学实验班时合作得很好，他们会一起讨论解决问题的最佳方案。虽然会争论，但他们的争论是富有成效的。由此可推知，作者认为他们在同一个数学实验班学习的经历是有益的。故选D。
7．The author chose to go to a different university in order to ________．
A．avoid seeing David
B．escape arguing with David
C．pursue a different experience
D．strengthen bonds with David
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“The second ... from one another.”可知，作者想要上不同的大学是为了追求属于自己的不同经历。故选C。
8．Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A．Why Do People Like to Compare Me with My Twin Brother
B．Why Am I Choosing a Different University with My Twin Brother
C．What Are Some Main Benefits of Being Twin Brothers at School
D．How Can Twin Brothers Get Along Well with Each Other at School

Dear Miss Kind，
I am a senior three student. I am sorry to disturb you, but would you be so kind as to do me a favor
The summer vacation is coming and I have been planning to find a part time job. However, my parents do not approve of my plan and think that I should spend more time studying instead of wasting my precious time on a job. I don't agree with them because I think taking a job will bring me not only some extra pocket money but also practical life skills. I don't want to quarrel with them, but what should I do about their opposition
I am looking forward to your early reply.
Yours，
Li Jin
