Question

When I was a teenager growing up in Russia, I wanted to leave school and have my own life. The only way I could do this was to work in the local brick factory in my town, or get married. I was nervous when I told my father I wanted to leave school. I thought he would say, " No! You are going to college. " He took me by surprise when he said, "OK. We'll go to the brick factory. "
Two days later, he took me to the factory. I had a very romantic idea of working in a factory. ' I had imagined everyone to be friends working together and having fun. I even imagined there would be music and singing. I guess I had watched too many movies as a teenager.
When we arrived at the factory gates, my father spoke to the guard and one minute later we were inside. My father said, "Take your time. Look around." I walked around the factory looking at the building, the workers, and listening to the noise. It was horrible. I ran back to my. father and said, "I want to go home. "
He asked me, "What do you think of the factory?"
"It's terrible," I replied.
"And marriage is even worse!" he said.
I went back to school the next day thinking about studying hard so I could get into a good college. I enjoyed studying English so I decided to major in languages at college. Thanks to my father and our trip to the brick factory, I now work at the United Nations and my father is very proud of me. I married a very good man and my life is much better than it would have been working in the factory!

【主旨大意】文章介紹了“我”想退學(xué)，父親用特殊的方式拒絕了，使“我”感觸很深，然后努力學(xué)習(xí)，考上了大學(xué)。
1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章的首句When I was a teenager growing up in Russia,可知。
2. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)去磚廠前后的情況可以判斷“她認(rèn)為工廠的生活比學(xué)校的豐富多了”，故選B項(xiàng)。
3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章可以判斷“他通過讓她去工廠工作來表示不同意”，因此，方式很特別，答案為B項(xiàng)。
4. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由I ran back to my. father and said, "I want to go home. "可知“她改變的主意”。
5.詞義猜測題。 由下文中的"It's terrible," I replied.可以得知horrible的意思是“糟糕的”。
