I met Billy the last summer before college. He was handsome and his irreverence(玩世不恭) was     to me. We liked each other the first instant we met.        , I was a straight A student and my parents had high hopes for me to      an Ivy League (常春藤联盟) school. Billy did not concentrate all his attention        his study and school life. However, we were in love --- so        teenager love. I still remember we had a plan for prom(舞会). It was understood that we had       about where we would dance and drink and party together.
This meant one thing to my parents---panic. And it grew as the        letters began to roll in. Of the eleven schools I applied to, nine accepted me. And one of them was Brown University---the Ivy League      in 1770 in historic Providence, Rhode Island.
There was no         that I was drawn to Brown, but Billy (who had joined the army) was       down south and I had offers      for me there, too. I was torn between my love for him and my family       .
One week        the start of school, my mother had a talk with me. She said I was eighteen years old and I had a         to make--- one that went        beyond the choice of        to attend university.
In August, I      and drove north to Providence. It took several months to      that my life was moving on in a way that was completely different from Billy’s. Brown changed my life, opening doors and giving me the        I now use to think, to learn and to write. Life is always about        it seems, and the older I get, the more I understand this. Still, there are times when I think of Billy because he taught me about love.

A boy walked along Carver Street, singing a sad song. He walked with his head down. Once he looked up and noticed the sign across the empty street, painted on the side of an old house.

　　The boy laboured over the paper. Again he looked out of the window.
　　“Here. Bring it here so I can   34  it.”

He looked at the 46   faces before him, and then asked,” How many completed all five questions?”   47 a hand was raised.
“How many answered four?” Still no hand.
“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly（不安宁的）in their seats.
“One, then? Certainly somebody finished   48 .”But the class remained silent.
The professor put down the papers.” That is exactly what I   49 ,” he said. “I just want you to know that, although you have completed four years of study, there are   50   many things about the   51   you don’t know. These questions you could not   52   are relatively common in everyday practice.” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all   53 this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education had just 54 .”
The years have weakened the name of the professor, but not the   55   he taught.
