    第三篇

    Too Late to Regret It

    When I was a junior,I met a second-year student in my department. He wasn't tall or good-loo-king,but he was very nice,attractive and athletic.He had something that I admired very much.He was natural,warm,and sincere.
    I disregarded（不顾）my parents' disapproval. We were very happy together. He picked me up from my dorm every morning,and after class we would sit alongside the stream that ran through campus, or sunbathe（晒太阳）on the lawn. At night he would walk me back to my dorm. He came from a poor family,but in order to make me happy,he borrowed money from his friend to buy presents and meals for me.Our fellow students looked up to him as a role model,and the girls envied（妒忌）me. He wasn't a local, but wanted to stay here after graduation. I thought we had a future together.
    However,when I got a part-time job during the summer vacation,people began giving me a lot of pressure,saying that a pretty,intelligent girl like me should find a better guy to spend time with. This was also what my family thought. He spent the summer in his hometown,so I was all by myself. When he got back,I began finding faults with him. But his big heart and warmth soon drove all unpleasant thoughts away.However,I had no idea how badly I had hurt him and that things would get worse.
    I had a good part-time job off campus that paid pretty well.With my good performance at school,I also got admission to graduate school at one of China's best universities.He,on the other hand,did not do so well at school or at work.I had to worry about his living expenses,job and scores.
    Almost all my colleagues and friends advised me to break up with him.Then we had a quarrel last June.He was in great pain,and my cold words and bad moods started turning him away.
    Graduation time was drawing near. He said that he couldn't put up with me any more and he said he wanted to go back to his hometown.I was shocked and looked at him in despair.
    True love happens only once,but I found it out too late.

    When did the author fall in love with the boy?
    A:After she had a quarrel with him.
    B:When she was a junior.
    C:When she was a second-year student.
    D:After she found a part-time job.

    答案：B
    解析：
    本题问“什么时候作者爱上了这个男孩？”文章第一段和第二段提到了作者爱上男孩的时间，即大学三年级的时候。其他时间与事实不一致。
    本题问“他做了什么使她高兴？”本题是细节题。文章第二段中提到“为了使我快乐，他向朋友借钱为我买礼物和请我吃饭”。
    本题问“谁建议她与他分手？”文章第五段第一句提到“几乎我所有的同事和朋友都劝我和他分手”。因此选项C“她的同事和朋友”符合题意。
    本题问“为什么他离开了她？”文章最后一段提到“他说他无法忍受我，说他想要回家乡”。显然这是原因所在。所以选项A“他再也无法忍受了”符合题意。
    本题问“当得知他将离开她时，她······”。文章最后一段提到“我感到吃惊，我意识到真正的爱只有一次，但我发现得太晚了”。由此可见，作者对这件事情的感觉是痛苦的。因此选项D“非常痛苦”符合题意。
