And more 42 , I made a decision: to go to college, so I began to 43 for the entrance exam. I finally passed the exam and went to Cambridge to read English. I met my wife there and I was 44 I made that decision, otherwise I wouldn’t have had a happy family. Looking back on what I’ve 45 , I come to know that if you devote yourself to it, nothing is impossible.

点评：本文作者回忆了自己由年轻时的“问题少年”，到做出决定考大学，最后成功的进入剑桥大学的一个蜕变过程。答题前一定要读懂全文，弄清文章要表达的思想，注意前后段落之间的关系。答题中，一定要认真分析，注意选项与上下文的关系，与前后单词的关系。对于一时没有太大的把握的题可以放到最后再来完成，因为有时答案可以从下文内容体现出来。答完后再通读一篇文章，看看所选选项能不能是语句通顺，语意连贯。
