阅读下面的4篇短文，掌握大意，然后从四个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。 A

Everybody usually makes decisions. They can be as important as what you will do in the future or as simple as what you will eat for breakfast . Any decision could be the turning point of your life.

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 ought to 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(激情) in my heart, I studied hard.

Now, I’m 17 and I’m in one of the best schools in my city, in one of the best classes at the school and I am one of the best students in the class.

Thanks to that decision, I have become what I am today. ( )31.When did the writer make the important decision?_____

B. He tried too hard not to act as an adult. C. He was one of the top students in his class.

D. He did what his teachers and his parents asked him to do. ( )33.Why did the writer make the decision?______ A. Because his teacher talked with him patiently. B. Because he didn’t want to act rebelliously any more. C. Because his mother asked him to study hard as usual.

D. Because his father asked him to think about his future by himself. ( )34.Which of the following is TRUE?______

A. The writer made the decision that he should work hard. B. It took the writer several years to make the decision.
