阅读下列内容,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。

C

If you could see a movie of your life before you lived it, would you want to live it? Probably not.The excitement of living is that you don’t know what’s coming.

Sure, it’s hard to see uncertainty(不确定) in such positive(积极的)light when you’re out of work, or when you feel like you’re failing.But uncertainty is really another word for chance.

When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chances all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do.She took a job in consulting(咨询), but she knew she wouldn’t stay there.She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income(收入)by teaching students.Still, she didn’t think she wanted to go to graduate school(研究院).Allison knew she wasn’t doing what she wanted, but she didn’t know what she wanted.

She worried.All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses.She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out.After six years, Allison, by having a general(全面的)plan in mind, got married, moved to the Midwest and used her consulting experience to get a great job.Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way: time well spent.

The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty.Otherwise your life is not your own—it is a path someone else has chosen.Moments of uncertainty are when you create your life, when you become who you are.Uncertainty usually begins with a job hunt, but it doesn’t end there.Every new role we take on means another round of uncertainty.Instead of fearing it, you should find some ways to deal with uncertainty.

阅读下面的短文,然后根据短文内容,在每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Street art can be found on buildings, street signs and even dustbins from Tokyo to Paris to New York City. This special kind of art can take the form of paintings, sculptures, cloth or even stickers. Street art has become part of a culture which can be seen around the world. Now, even art museums and galleries(画廊) are collecting the works of street artists.

People have different thoughts about street art. Some think street art is bad, but others see this art as a rich form of non-traditional cultural expression. Street art began in New York City in the 1960s. Young adults would use paint in special cans to spray(喷射) their “tag” on walls and train cars around the city. This tag was a name they created to show off themselves and their artwork. This style of drawing and writing became known as graffiti(涂鸦). Graffiti art showed that young people wanted to rebel(反抗) against the rules. They traveled around cities to make paintings that everyone could see.

Street artists do their work for some reasons. A number of them choose street art because it is closer to the everyday life. What they enjoy most is the freedom of expressing themselves which street art permits(允许). One well-known street artist is Swoon. She cuts out paper images of people and puts them on walls. Swoon didn’t start her career as a street artist. She studied art but, as time went on, got bored with the works she saw in museums. Then she fell in love with graffiti. The people in New York enjoy Swoon’s strong and interesting style. Some museums have already bought some of her works.

Nowadays street art has become part of a world-wide culture. It is supported by websites, artist groups, books and magazines.
