My family lives in Texas.I was born and brought up in Texas and I am a graduate of the University of Texas.However，around my second year in law school，I wanted to make a great change，which was almost unheard of for Texans：I wanted to leave!
   I realized this after completing my first-year internship （實(shí)習(xí)期）.I knew I wanted something different and my chance came during the 2011 Super Bowl （橄欖球超級大賽） in Dallas.A snowstorm blanketed the entire city in snow and thousands of people were gathered.I overheard （偶然聽到） that StubHub，a big company from a great city，San Francisco，was throwing a party next door to my hotel.I thought if I could get an internship，I could leave for the summer and at least see what it was like.Yes，it was a huge leap.I told myself I was ready.
   There was just one problem：I wasn't invited to the StubHub party.But you know I'm the type of person who goes for something she wants.Needless to say，I crashed the party and found my way to the president.I kindly introduced myself and then asked if they had a legal internship program.Guess what？They accepted my request to be a legal intern，even though there was no such program.
   The legal department didn't have a long-lasting position for me.However，I got many other chances to be a legal intern in other companies.That experience has shaped my life.Working for a great company in San Francisco，I'm extremely happy for making my decision to leave Texas.
   By leaving Texas，I learned that it is so much more rewarding to try the unfamiliar than to stay in the comfort zone.Exploring the unfamiliar is how you'll understand what fits your life.I say，dive in head- first.

  • 3．At 1，345 meters above sea level，Ben Nevis is definitely not the world's most difficult mountain to climb.But things get considerably tricky if instead of hiking shoes you put on a pair of 5-inch high heels，especially if you're a guy.One English teenager recently proved that it was not impossible.
       Ben Conway，a 19-year-old art student from London，recently took up the challenge as a way to stand out in an application for a scholarship for the School of Communication Arts in Brixton.He started his unusual high-heel climb at 8 a.m.，on June 27，and was joined by Callum MacKenzie Allen，a friend from his art foundation year，who videotaped the whole thing for a two-minute video that served as his application project.The whole climb took five hours and wasn't the smoothest experience.
       Halfway up Ben Navis，one of his shoes broke，so he had to tape the shoes to his feet to make sure they stayed on.The weather didn't make it easy for him either，as he claimed that it rained pretty much the whole time，and he had to go against 40 to 50 miles an hour winds.Due to these difficult conditions，Ben and his friend had to turn back after reaching 900 meters up the mountain.
       Apart from providing a unique art school application project，the high-heel climb also allowed the 19-year-old to raise some money for worthy causes，like Sal's Shoes，which provides footwear for barefoot children around the world.
       "Raising money for charity brings happiness to people's lives and if I can do something ridiculous and bring someone happiness，then that's what it's all about"，Ben said.

    （1）What can replace the underlined word "tricky" in Paragraph 1？

    A．Pleasant.
    B．Boring.
    C．Tough.
    D．Smooth.
    （2）Why did Allen videotape the high-heel climb for Ben？

    A．To prove nothing is impossible.
    B．To record a special experience.
    C．To promote their friendship.
    D．To assist in Ben's application.
    （3）What does Paragraph 3 focus on？

    A．The difficulties in the climb.
    B．The climbing route.
    C．The terrible weather.
    D．The unexpected incident.
    （4）What can best describe Ben's story？

    A．Puzzling.
    B．Inspiring.
    C．Exciting.
    D．Frightening.
