In movies and books， people often describe a decisive moment when they figure out who they are. However， I never thought it actually happened in real life. I never expected to have a “moment” of my own. When it arrived， mine was much more powerful than I could have ever imagined.

During the spring of my junior year， my class watched a documentary called “The Invisible Children”. It was about three college students who take a trip to Africa and document their experience. At first the film was slightly humorous. However， once the group arrived in northern Uganda， the mood changed. They learned what the consequences （后果） of a 23-year war had been for thousands of children. Some had lost family and friends， others were caught by the opposing force and became child soldiers.

Before long， I was sobbing. I couldn’t believe these things were happening， yet at the same time I knew they were. I just hadn’t been paying attention， for in the past 17 years， I was blessedly protected. When the movie ended， I couldn’t get it out of my head. For the next week， I was not myself. Every bite of food I took I thought of Grace， the 15-year-old who had little to eat. When I went to bed， I pictured Sunday， the 14-year-old boy sleeping on a straw mat on the ground in a camp. My whole world changed.

Since that day， I haven’t been able to picture my future in a way that doesn’t involve going to Africa and doing what I can to help. Ultimately， this is why I decided to major in engineering. With an engineering degree， my potential （潛力） for change will be limitless. I will build wells and schools， and design irrigation systems. Engineering is tough， but I know—in what Yeats called “my deep heart’s call”—that this is what I’m supposed to do with my life.

24. How did the author think of a decisive moment at first？

A. It was impossible. B. It was unforgettable. C. It was common. D. It was powerful.

25. How did the movie influence the author？

A. It amused him. B. It changed his attitude towards life.

C. It made him unsure of himself. D. It made him unable to eat or sleep.

26. Why does the author choose to study engineering？

A. To achieve his goal. B. To gain recognition.

C. To challenge himself. D. To realize his childhood dream.

27. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear？

A. Celebrity. B. Health. C. Education. D. Science.

The men of influence in our lives are usually our fathers， brothers， grandfathers， uncles， and friends and they play an important role in our lives. They lead by example， teaching us how to move physically through our world， how to be strong in the face of adversity （逆境）， how to be wise， and how to provide for ourselves and our families.

My dad taught me how to have natural fun， playing baseball in his stocking feet. Today my dad continues to influence me in positive ways. He has faced a challenging health problem over the past few months and has carried on with his life in much the same way as he did before his illness， going about his daily business a bit slower and needing to take more rests but still living his life the way he wishes to.

My grandfather taught me the value of being trusted. My father-in-law influenced my life in a different way. He was quiet， loving and a man of power. When he spoke， I listened， as he did not speak unless he had something to say.

My loving husband has encouraged me to be strong and independent， to think for myself， and not to look to him for permission. My husband has also taught me to adapt with him to the ever-changing reality of his journey with illness， and he has met each one with courage and dignity.

I have learned much from the men who have had an influence on my life. For all that I have learned and for the role they played and continue to play in my life， I am forever thankful.

Exams are brain-burning. The silence of the hall; the beating of the clock; the watchful eye of the teacher; the proud expression of the person sitting at the neighboring desk who has finished 15 minutes early. It therefore seems hardly surprising that those who feel anxious about taking tests do worse than those who do not. But different from the existing point of view， the recent study published in Psychological Science by Maria Theobald suggests it is the pressure of revision （復(fù)習(xí)） that affects your exam performance.

To test this idea， Dr Theobald worked with 309 German medical students who were preparing for their final exam， the most important that they take. During the 100 days before the real exam， these students used an online digital-learning app which presented them with old exam questions and recorded their performance. And 40 days before the real exam， they also took a mock （模擬） exam. Their levels of anxiety were also be recorded and assessed （評(píng)定）， every day for 40 days before the real exam and also on the day of that exam.

What Dr Theobald found was not what she expected. Anxiety on the day of the test did not predict exam performance at all. What did predict it was the level of knowledge a student showed in the mock exam and the earlier practices.

It turned out that what really affected students were high levels of anxiety during the weeks before the exam took place. The greater a student’s anxiety in the days before the exam， the lower his or her knowledge gain was during that period. To reduce this anxiety， she gives some advice for students to consider as they revise. First， they can raise their belief in their own abilities by reminding themselves of just how much they know. Second， they can diminish the importance of the test by reminding themselves that， while it is important， it is not a life or death situation. It really isn’t.

32. What influences exam results based on the existing view？

A. Exam levels. B. Exam schedule.

C. Pressure of the exam hall. D. High expectations from others.

33. How did Dr Theobald carry out the study？

A. By interviewing students. B. By collecting the former data.

C. By referring to experts’ advice. D. By tracking students’ performances.

34. What does the underlined word “diminish” in the last paragraph probably mean？

A. Reduce. B. Affect. C. Realize. D. Understand.

35. What can be the suitable title for the text？

A. Never Too Late to Revise B. Never Put off Revision till Tomorrow

C. Anxiety in Revision， Failure in Exam D. The More Pressure， the Better Results
