When I graduated frm high schl, I wanted t majr in cmparative literature.
But, nce I fund ut my friends were ging int “real” majrs, like marketing, nursing,
and engineering, I figured I needed t d the same t ensure a gd career. S I changed
my mind and chse Business Management as my majr. I frced myself t believe that
I wuld enjy it and succeed in the future, but eventually I exhausted myself
understanding the ecnmy and trying new marketing techniques. Cming ut f this
experience, I realize it is kay t be different frm thers and t study things like
classics, art histry and ther majrs ffered in the Cllege f Humanities (人文学科)!
The wrries mst peple have abut a Humanities degree and finding a career
afterwards are that the majrs are t abstract, and ne will nt btain any applicable
高二英语试卷 第 6 页，共 9 页

skills. Actually ideas discussed in Humanities classes, which are ccasinally different
frm what peple cmmnly believe, ffer a brad perspective (视角). Hw culd ne
effectively be an unbiased (无偏见的) writer with nly a knwledge f the ppular
pinin f sciety? Hw culd ne speak persuasively with clsed minds? Only seeing
the wrld thrugh a single perspective leads t missed learning, missed friendships,
and missed grwth! With a brader perspective, we will be mre free, mre pen-
minded, and less limited in what we can becme!
STEM (science, technlgy, engineering, and mathematics) graduates learn actual
skills in their studies, while humanities majrs learn “sft skills” like cmmunicating
effectively thrugh writing critically and speaking persuasively, synthesizing (综合)
ideas thrugh gathering and interpreting infrmatin, and develping cultural
awareness. D thse sft skills sund useless and inapplicable t yu? Think f it. Hw
ften d yu cmmunicate with thers? Prduce ideas? Encunter peple frm ther
cultures? Every day. Every SECOND f every day. S why nt master these skills?
If yu chse a majr in the Cllege f Humanities, yu will be needed. The jb
market is quietly creating thusands f penings a week fr peple wh can bring a
humanist’s grace t ur rapidly evlving high-tech future. Yur skills will be valuable
t any wrkplace yu hpe t be in. Chase after yur dream majr with all yur energy,
n matter what ther peple think.
56. Why did the authr chse Business Management as his majr at first?
A. He was tired f learning cmparative literature.
B. He believed Business Management was mre practical.
C. He wanted t g t the same university as his friends.
D. He came t enjy learning marketing techniques.
57. Accrding t the authr, what is a pssible way t gain a brad perspective?
A. Making mre friends and learning frm them.
B. Opening yur mind t future pssibilities.

When my husband Ash tld me he was planning t turn dwn sme perfectly gd
jb ffers and start his wn business, I was surprised. I advised against it. But Ash's
mther, wh had run her wn business, said: “Why nt give it a g?”
My mther-in-law was right. Ash started Present Mdel Management. He lves it:
the pressure (压力) he has nw is lwer. Plus, he can take the kids t schl if he wants.
Watching him succeed inspired me t take my wn leap. After 12 years f wrking
as a childminder, I knew that smething had t change. I lved the kids, but I’d been
singing “Twinkle Twinkle” fr 12 years. I nly became a childminder in rder t be
hme with my wn children. Nw that they are mre independent, I have time t try
smething mre exciting.
I set up @family_feasts t recrd what ur family eats: healthy, tasty meals n a
sensible budget (开支). Frm there, I started a WrdPress blg t hld the recipes (食
谱). When I started sharing weekly meal plans, the feedback (反响) was amazing.
That's what peple want: inspiratin.

started a cking class fr 8-10-year-ld children at my daughter’s primary schl.

watch the kids learn: they’ve burnt and cut themselves, but they're really starting t
understand flavrs.
The next thing that tk ff was children’s ckery birthday parties. Peple have
bked thse thrugh wrd f muth. Frm the strength f my blg, I've published
recipes with the BBC and C-p Fd Magazine. My final dream is t write a family
ckbk ne day.
I'm s glad that Ash and I tk this leap. We plan ur wrk arund the kids. We
pay urselves less than befre, but we als spend mre sensibly. I lve the freedm f
ur life, the time we have tgether, and the excitement f building a cmmunity f kids
wh will be able t feed themselves.
61. What was Ash’s mther’s attitude twards his plan? (n mre than 5 wrds)
62. Why did the authr want t change her jb as a childminder? (n mre than 10
wrds)
63.What was the authr’s third business? (n mre than 15 wrds)
64. What des the underlined wrds prbably mean in the last but ne paragraph?
