worldbhigh school graduationthe bittersweet feelings are as much a part of me now as they were twenty-one years ago.as graduation day approached, excitement increased. being out of high school meant i was finally coming of age. soon i would be on my own, making my own decisions, doing what i wanted without someone looking over my shoulder. there was never any question in my mind that i would go to a college away from home. my mothers idea, on the other hand, was just the opposite. trying her best not to force her preferences on me, she would subtly ask whether i had considered particular schoolsall of which happened to be located in or near my hometown of chicago. once it was established that, as long as the expenses would not be too heavy a burden on the family budget, i would be going away anyway, my familys perspective changed. their concern shifted from whether i was going away to how far. the schools i was considering on the east coast suddenly looked much more attractive than those in california. but which college i would attend was just one of what seemed like a never-ending list of unknowns: what would college be like? would the other students like me? would i miss my family so much that i wouldnt be able to stand it? and what about the workwould i be able to keep up? (being an a student in high school seemed to offer little assurance i would be able to survive college.) what if the college i selected turned out to be a horrible mistake? then panic set in. my feelings took a 180-degree turn. i really didnt want to leave high school at all, and it was questionable whether i wanted to grow up after all.despite months of expectation, nothing could have prepared me for the impact of the actual day. as the familiar melody of “pomp and circumstance” echoed in the background, i looked around at the other figures in white caps and gowns as we seriously lined into the hall. tears swelled up uncontrollably in my eyes. as if in a daze（恍惚）, i rose from my seat when i heard my name called and slowly crossed the stage to receive my diploma. as i reached out my hand, i knew that i was reaching not just for a piece of paper but for a brand-new life. exciting as the future of a new life seemed, it wasnt easy saying good-bye to the old onethe familiar faces, the familiar routine.55. in this article the author mainly describes _.a. the great excitement during the months leading up to the big eventthe graduation ceremonyb. her mixed feelings during the months leading towards graduation and on the actual graduation dayc. her happiness to be admitted to a wonderful universityd. her eagerness to go to a wonderful university far away from home56. the authors mother _.a. did not care very much which college her daughter went tob. was greatly disappointed at her decision to go to a college on the east coastc. willingly allowed her to go to a college of her own choiced. wished that she would study at a college or university close to home57. expectation and excitement suddenly changed into anxiety and fear. which of the following did the author not include as a reason for that change?a. growing homesick might seriously affect her academic performance at college.b. she might make a wrong choice and enter a university she did not like at all.c. her being a top student at high school did not mean a successful academic career for her in college.d. it might be hard for her to make friends under new circumstances.58. the author adopts a(n)_ tone in writing this article.a. matter-of-factb. seriousc. emotionald. indifferentcit is easy to lose patience with science today. the questions are pressing: how dangerous is air pollution? what about low-level radiation? when will that horrible earthquake strike california? and why cant we predict weather better? but the evidence is often described as uncertain, forcing scientists to base their points of view almost as much on intuition（直觉）as on science.when historians and philosophers of science listen to these questions, some conclude that science may not be able to solve all these problems any time soon. the unknowns can grow into riddles that are impossible to solve. because of the unstable and changing state of the earths atmosphere, for example, scientists have struggled for centuries to predict the weather with precision but failedthe case is different for scientists of astronomy. for example, they think that the gravitational force of a nearby space vehicle, though tiny, is able to change the path of a much larger planet if the vehicle spends enough time close to it. with the aid of newtons laws of gravitational attraction, ground controllers can predict the path of a planetary probe （探测仪）or satellitewith incredible accuracy. they do this by calculating the gravitational force from each of the passing planets until the probe speeds beyond the edge of the solar system. a much more difficult task is to calculate what happens when two or three times of such force pull on the probe at the same time. such procedures can, of course, be very difficult, but for experiments, they are effective.this range of questionsfrom simple problems to those impossibly complexhas resulted in nicknames for various fields of study: soft sciences and hard sciences“soft” sciences admit a great degree of uncertainty. academicians tend to judge fields such as sociology, psychology, and political science as “soft” because they are assumed to be understandable, of unnecessary mathematical accuracy, and concerned with everyday affairs such as interpersonal relationships. however, hard sciences, such as astronomy and chemistry, are said to offer precise answers. precise definit
