Does going to college really pay off？Certainly!
I remember taking __小题1:__ English class in college on the short story. Our first assignment was to read __小题2:__ short stories and then discuss which one was better. After __小题3:__(read)both，I wasn’t sure. Over the __小题4:__ several months, my professor taught me __小题5:_ one story was so much better than the other.__ 小题6:__ was rich in metaphor(隐喻)and character development, _小题7:__ the other was humorous 小题8:_ too shallow. I couldn’t see this at first. Yet,
in a few months, my brain got reeducated and __小题9:__ could see the difference between good and bad writing and could appreciate literature at a whole new level.
Going to college helps build a strong mind, which leads __小题10:__ greater success in one’s life.
小题1:an
小题2:two
小题3:reading
小题4:next
小题5:why
小题6:One
小题7:while
小题8:but
小题9:I
小题10:to
小题1:an 考查冠词。class此处为可数名词单数形式，其前须用冠词。再根据此处表泛指，而English是以元音音素开头，故填an。
小题2:two 考查数词。根据本句中“which one was better”以及下文“After … both”中both的提示可推断此处表示“两个短篇故事”，故填two。
小题3:reading 考查动名词。after 是介词，括号中所给词是动词，故只能填动名词reading。
小题4:next 考查形容词。根据该空修饰名词months，应填形容词，再由语境可知，此处表示“在接下来的几个月”，故填next。
小题5:why 考查名词性从句引导词。根据上文“discuss which one was better”可推断，教授是给我们讲解为什么其中一个故事要比另一个故事好，故填why。
小题6:One 考查不定代词。由语境可知，故事有两个，再根据习惯搭配“one...the other...”可推断填One。
小题7:while 考查并列连词，while表示前后对比的意思。
小题8:but 考查连词。根据“humorous”和“too shallow”在逻辑上的转折关系可推断，此处填连词but连接两个形容词。
小题9:I 考查人称代词。根据该空在句中作主语可判断应填名词或代词。结合语境可知该空应指作者本人，故填I。
小题10:to 考查介词。lead to为固定搭配，意为“导致”。
