共用题干A Personal Look at Klinefelter Syndrome1 I was diagnosed with Klinefelter Syndrome (KS)（遗传性细精管发育不全）a little more than a year ago,at the age of 25,in February 1996.Being diagnosed has been a big sigh of relief after a life of frustrations.Throughout my early childhood and adolescence,I was very shy,reserved,and had trouble making friends.I would fly into rages for no apparent reason.My parents knew when I was very young that there was something about me that wasn't right.2 I saw many psychologists , psychiatrists（精神科医生）,therapists（临床医学家）,and doctors,and their only diagnosis was"learning disabilities".In the seventh grade,I was told by a psychologist that I was stupid and lazy,and I would never amount to anything. After barely graduating from high school,I started out at a local community college.I received an associate degree in business administration,and never once sought special help.I transferred to a small liberal arts college to finish up my bachelor of science degree, and spent an extra year to complete a second degree.Then I started a job as a software engineer for an Internet-based company.I have been using computers for 1 7 years and have learned everything I needed to know on my own.3 To find out my KS diagnosis,I had gone to my general physician for a physical examination.He noticed that my testes（睾丸）were smaller than they should be and sent me for blood work. The karyotype（染色体组型）showed KS , 47 , XXY. After seeing the symptoms of KS and what effects they might have,I found it described me pertectly.But, after getting over the initial shock and dealing with the denial,depression,and anger,I decided that there could be things much worse in life.I decided to take a positive approach.4 There are several types of treatments for KS. I give myself a testosterone（睾丸素） injection once every two weeks.My learning and thought processes have become stronger, and I take greater pleasure in meeting other people and have become more of a leader. Granted,not all of this is due to the increased testosterone level,some of it is from a new confidence level and from maturing.5 I feel that parents who are finding out prior to the birth of their son that he will have KS are very lucky.There is so much they can do to help their child have a great life.I have had almost all of the symptoms at some time in my life,and I've gotten through and done well. The writer used to be pretty________.A:a great lifeB:relieved and happyC:a life of frustrationsD:a good-for-nothingE:shocked and depressedF:shy and reserved

问答题So many high school graduates have no clues what they want to pursue as a career as they head off to college. So, here’s the question: How many times have you changed your major(s) while in college and what prompted the change(s)? The following are opinions from all walks of life. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should: 1. summarize briefly the opinions in the excerpts; 2. give your comment. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.Never Changed Claire | High School Teacher: I actually never changed my major. I declared elementary education immediately and stuck with it. I thought I wanted to minor in math, but before I even took a single math class, I ended up switching to English. Aside from student teaching and a long term sub position in 5th grade immediately following graduation, I’ve actually NEVER taught elementary school. I went ahead and took the Texas exam to get certified k-12 and I’ve only taught high school since. Sometimes I wish I had just done secondary education. Sadly, I don’t actually think any of my education classes in college affected the way I teach—experience has really been the best class I’ve had. Kevin | Accountant: I never changed my major in college! I knew exactly what I wanted, where I was going, and what I ultimately hoped to achieve after graduation with my AAS Degree in Business Management/ Accounting, I went directly to work in my chosen profession and never looked back! It served me well for about twenty-five years. Murphy | Middle School Teacher: I never changed my major in college, but I did not declare a major until the university forced me to. I majored in Political Science simply because it interested me. Of course, when I did declare this major everyone, especially my patents, asked me what I was going to do with it and my answer was always that I wasn’t sure. I ended up receiving a teaching credential two years after receiving my B.A. in Political Science and have been teaching for the last 26 years. Changed Dastice | Clerk: I changed my major from Psychology to Sociology. I still minored in Psych, and also in Women’s Studies. My only drive in changing majors was that I enjoyed the classes more. I figured if I stuck with what I enjoyed then a career would somehow emerge from it once I got my degree. Knowing what I know now, however, I probably would have majored in something like business or law. After graduating with my degree I ended up working jobs that didn’t even require a college education. Experience was far more valuable, I was told. Jenny | College Student: I, for some reason, never knew majors were a huge deal and could be almost as important as your life. I started out as an arts and Spanish major. I then realized the program my school offered for the education major took care of 4 classes I would have to take for my MA. I dropped the art major and went into the education major. My last semester came and I was at a crossroads: take the final course to complete my major in education or the class to complete my Spanish major. I do get a little upset thinking I was only one class away from another major. Gaha | Writer: I changed it once. I started college at eighteen and a little naive as to the working world. I chose to major in Business, not sure why, in fact I don’t think I really even knew what it entailed. It wasn’t until the onset of my junior year that I came to an epiphany that I had only take a couple of business classes because they bored me out of my mind. After taking a look at my transcript, realizing that I was totally into foreign languages and literature, I decided to get into writing. And a new writer was born!
