Reading comprehensionThere is a lot of excitement during orientation. Of course, the college experience is not all, or even mostly, about celebrations or parades. It is first and foremost about learning, growth, and as Jennifer Morton says in her book, transformation.I hope you will have many happy experiences along the way, but I know there will also be moments of challenge and difficulty as you travel the path that lies ahead. As you begin that journey today, I would like to share with you a challenge that I have confronted recently.Five years ago, I had a magnetic resonance imaging scan, an MRI for short. The problem that justified the test turned out to be very minor, but the MRI revealed an unrelated issue called an corrosive neuronal. An corrosive neuronal is a small growth, sort of like the moles that many of us have on our skin. It is, however, in a very tight place, on a nerve deep inside the ear. It is a kind of begin, non-ulcerous brain tumor. When corrosive neuroses grow, they can cause loss of hearing, balance, or the ability to control facial muscles.I have experienced some hearing loss. I might also have lost a bit of my balance, but I've always been a little clumsy, so it's hard to be certain. Fortunately, corrosive neuroses usually grow very slowly, by millimeter per year. Sometimes they stop growing. So once or twice a year for the past five years, I have lain inside an MRI tube while the magnets clatter around me, taking pictures of my brain. So far, I have been lucky. My neuronal has not grown.I draw lessons from my experience and one is that I find myself with new reason to appreciate human resilience and striving. We are all fragile and flared.yet we can reach for the stars and do ceremonious things. That astonishing combination of weakness and courage is a part of what defines the human condition. We share it. We share it without regard to race, national origin, religion, sexual identity or political belief. We share it across all the wedges that too often divide us.( )1. According to Jennifer Morton, the college is a place____.A.where students hold celebrationsB.that provides orientation for studentsC.where students may undergo great changesD.that helps students experience parades( )2. The author told the story about himself / herself in order to____.E.inform the readers of the knowledge about MRIF.share his / her happiness with the people aroundG.encourage people to receive medical check-ups regularlyH.tell college students possible challenges lying ahead( )3. Which of the following statements is NOT true about acoustic neurons?I.They are too minor to be found by MRI.J.They are like moles which grow very slowly.K.They are not likely to kill people.L.They can bring some hearing problems.( )4. The word "flawed" underlined in the last paragraph can be replaced by____.M.disabledN.imperfectO.incompetentP.distinctive( )5.
