When I packed up my life and moved from the comforts of my little hometown to Waco, I remember feeling 56 (lose). All my friends were so excited to start their own lives, but I just wasn’t sure 57 I was ready for that yet. Many things worried me. But I hid my fears and when the time 58 (final) came, I hugged my mother goodbye, made the two-hour one-way drive from Coppel to Waco, and set up my new room.

For the first few weeks, I didn’t miss home or really feel any kind of emotion at all except tired. There was so much for me to learn 59 I hadn’t had time to think about anything. My energy 60 (direct) towards figuring out campus, adjusting to college-level classes and remembering the names of every new person I met. I explored every corner, 61 (look) for the perfect place to study. I learned to set 62 (I) a schedule of getting groceries, cleaning my room and doing my laundry on Sundays.

Nowadays, in my second semester, I feel like I have almost adapted 63 the university life. The transition from high school to college wasn’t 64 difficult as my mind made me think it would be. One of the best 65 (thing) college has taught me is how to be independent.

第二节：读后续写（满分25分）

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

The event that stands out in Tom’s memory happened one morning when Tom was only ten years old. He was at home with his elder sister Jane. Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices. At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud, but he soon realized this time it was different.

“Quick! Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop.” someone yelled.

Then a thick burning smell filled the air. When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate, a thick cloud of smoke greeted him. The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.

Jane, who had been playing the violin in her room, hurried to the living room. They rushed out of the door and along the corridor（走廊）through the smoke.

They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane stopped in her track. She turned around and headed back the way they came. Tom had no idea what she was doing, but he followed suit.

Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them, who they called Makcik, Malay for auntie. Jane began banging on Makcik’s door, but got no answer. As the smoke thickened around them, Tom could see many of their neighbors—some still in their pyjamas—running for safety. The thought of fear crossed his mind.

“She would have run for safety like everyone else!” Tom cried. However, Jane refused to give up. “I know Makcik’s still inside.” She said she was familiar with Makcik’s daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping. She pounded the door. “Go downstairs. Go now! Go!”
