What do you want to be when you grow up?My answer has always been a vet.
We didn't have pets growing up because my mother was scared of animals.She transferred(轉(zhuǎn)移)some of this fear to me.It's not common you find someone who's scared of animals but wants to be a vet.Still,I knew this is what I wanted.
Vet school was nothing like I had imagined.Within the first few weeks,any fears I had about being a vet vanished.In the fourth year,we were introduced to surgery.I loved it.Stitching(縫)wounds was like a satisfying game of Tetris (俄羅斯方塊),where all the pieces fit beautifully together to make something broken whole again.It solidified (使堅(jiān)固)my belief that this was the right fit for me.
These were the most challenging and rewarding two years of my life,and before I knew it,they were over.I was officially a veterinary surgeon(獸醫(yī)).Surprisingly,I felt empty after I finished.Why wasn't I excited to move on?I had completely forgotten to think about what comes next.I felt as if I had spent the last decade of my life writing exams and working crazy hours only to come out on the other side,completely clueless.
There were so many options to choose from.I could start a clinic,work at another practice or even pursue further studies.It was my father who suggested I travel to gain some perspective.I hesitantly decided to spend some time in New Zealand with my aunt who also happens to be a vet.
New Zealand was beautiful!I finally had a chance to think about what I wanted.One of the vets there allowed me to observe their practice.Working with vet nurses really stood out for me.We don't have vet nurses in India!It is a blessing to have such experienced and dedicated individuals as a part of your support system.After a whole year of what felt like aimless wandering,this experience helped me decide I wanted to work overseas.
So,to all the other confused vets out there who haven't figured things out:It's completely okay to feel confused!Most people feel the same way at some point in their careers.Don't be afraid to try new things even if you feel difficult or impossible.

1.For several days Ⅰ(Jane Eyre) saw little of Mr.Rochester.One evening,I was invited to talk to him after dinner.There was a smile on his lips,and his eyes were shining brightly.As I was looking at him,he suddenly turned around and asked me, "Do you think I'm handsome,Miss Eyre?"
The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: "No,sir."
"Ah,you are really unusual!You look like a quiet,serious little person,but you can be almost rude."
"Sir,I'm sorry.I shouldn't have given an immediate answer to such a question about appearances;I should have said that beauty doesn't matter,or something like that."
"No,you shouldn't!I see,you criticize my appearance,and then you stick a sly penknife under my ear!You have honesty and feeling.There are not many girls like you.Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance(抵消) your few good points."
I thought to myself that he might have too.He seemed to read my mind,and said quickly, "Yes,you're right.I have plenty of faults.I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one,and have never found the right path again.I might have been as good as you,and perhaps wiser.I am not a bad man,take my word for it,but I have done wrong.It wasn't my character,but circumstances that were to blame.Why do I tell you all this?Because you're the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to,because you're sympathetic and you give them hope."
"Don't be afraid of me,Miss Eyre," he continued." You don't relax or laugh very much,perhaps because of the effect Lowood has had on you.But in time you will be more natural when you're with me,and laugh,and speak freely.You're like a bird in a cage.When you get out of the cage,you'll fly very high.Good night."
(1)Why did Mr.Rochester say "and then you stick a sly penknife under my ear" in paragraph 5?
A.Because Jane had offered some unnecessary explanations.
B.Because Jane had intended to be more critical.

2.To me,life without music would not be exciting.I realize that this is not true for everybody.Many people get along quite well without going to the concert,and listening to the record.But music plays an important part in everyone's life,whether he realizes it or not.Try to imagine,for example,what films or TV plays would be like without music.Would the feelings,the moving plot,and the greatest interests,be so exciting or dramatic?I'm not sure about it.
Now,we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning----the kind of music we hear in the concert hall.But if we look at some parts of music more closely,we discover them in our everyday life too----in the rhythm of the sea,the melody of a bird in the woods and so on.So music surely has meaning for everyone,in some way or other.And,of course,it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.
It is well said, "Through music a child enters into a world of beauty,expresses himself from his heart,feels the joy of doing things alone,learns to take care of others,develops his mind and makes his body strong."
(1)What does the writer say more about in the text?
A.Life full of music.
B.The importance of music.
C.Life without music.
D.The development of music.
(2)From the text,we learn that many people
A.go to the concert instead of enjoying music
B.get along quite well without music
C.don't realize the importance of music
D.think music would be less exciting than films
(3)What does the underlined word "melody" mean in the text?
A.flying
B.living
C.looking
D.singing
(4)From the last paragraph,we learn that music
A.is very necessary for our everyday life
B.is very important,especially for children
C.can make our life exciting and dramatic
D.can enter another beautiful world發(fā)布:2025/1/1 18:0:1組卷:6引用:3難度:0.6 -
