2. Grading Systems in the U. S.
Most colleges use letter grades like A, B, C, D, F,
and some use plus or minus like B- or C+. To
compute students' averages they say A=4, B=3,
C=2, D=1, F=0. It takes an average of 2.0 to
graduate. Grades of F must be repeated to get
credit. Most students take 5 or occasionally 6
courses per semester, and most courses are 3
credits. It usually takes between 120 and 130
credits to graduate. A few colleges use
numerical grades instead of letters. If so, most
likely A=90, B=80, C=70, D=60, but this may be
up to the professor.

Reading B: Para 1-2
Para 1 After four years, the time has come. In
less than two weeks, I will have graduated. I
look back now and I can't believe how fast it all
went. I can still remember the first day of
classes, looking on the map on the back of the
Schedule of Classes and asking where the
classroom building was. Now I'm a senior,
looking at freshmen with envy. Every day I wish
I could freeze time and make the next two
weeks go more slowly. I know a lot of people who
can't wait to graduate, but for me it's the
opposite. I want to turn back time instead and
cherish every day of my college experience once
again.
Unit 1 College Life
16
1. In less than two weeks, I'll have graduated:
I'll have graduated within two weeks.
不到两周，我就要毕业了。
This is an example of the use of the future
perfect tense. The future perfect tense tells us
something that will be past at or before a
certain time in the future.
e.g. By this time next week, you'll have taken your
examination. 到下周这个时候，你就考完了。
I hope that everything I have told you will not
have been forgotten by the next lesson.
我希望到下次上课时你们还记得我给你们讲了些什么。

He looks back at the four years of his college
days with satisfaction.

3. Every day I wish I could freeze time and
make the next two weeks go more slowly.
每天我都祈愿时间会凝滞，接下来的两周过得更慢
一些。
"wish" is followed by a subjunctive clause here.
Examples:
I wish it were cooler. (It is not cool. It is hot.)
我希望更凉一些。
I wish you had come to the cinema with us last
night. ( You didn't.)
你昨晚要和我们一起看电影该多好。

Para 2 For me, college has been a great learning
experience, and most of the learning process
has taken place outside of the classroom. My
sophomore year of college was perhaps the most
remarkable year of my life. This was the year
that I finally convinced my mom that I was
going to be OK living on campus, and she finally
let me go. This was the year that I made some
lifelong friends, and through many triumphs and
failures I came to know more about myself. My
sophomore year involved experimenting with new
things, such as camping in mountains, attempting
to present some lousy poems to newspapers and
drawing cartoons of my teachers in class.
Unit 1 College Life

4. ... and through many triumphs and failures I
came to know more about myself:
I had experienced many successes and many
failures. It was through these successes and
failures that I got to know myself better.
历经多次的成功与失败使我对自己有了更多的了解。

是多么重要。

众的想像力。

Reading B: Para 3-6
Para 3 As I walk down the familiar routes on
campus, I find myself doing a lot of soulsearching and reminiscing. I find myself wanting
to start all over again and recapture the fun and
excitement of my college days. I have been
panicking at the idea of graduating. I have been
going to school for as long as I can remember,
and I feel like there is so much more that I
want to learn, but instead I have to graduate.
The world is enormous and the possibilities are
endless. For the past four years I have been
surrounded with a safety net. The student
status has been a somewhat comforting feeling,
giving me an escape from the realities of the
world outside.

6. As I walk down the familiar routes on campus,
I find myself doing a lot of soul-searching
and reminiscing.

8. I have been panicking at the idea of
graduating:

Para 4 With less than two weeks left of school,
I'm getting a queasy feeling deep down every
time I think about the fact that I'm going to be
graduating. For as long as I can remember, I
have been a student. I feel like I'm living in
denial about graduating. Every time I get asked
about what I'm going to do after college I feel
like screaming at the top of my lungs. I don't
know what I want to do with the rest of my life.
It's too difficult to even contemplate the idea
that soon I will be waking up in the mornings and
not have a class to which I should be going.
Unit 1 College Life

10. I am getting a queasy feeling deep down
every time I think about the fact that I'm

adverbial clauses of time.

Para 5
On a recent interview, I was asked, "Is this the
profession you want for the rest of your life?" I
was amused and almost laughed at the question,
but I gave an honest answer. I don't know what
the future holds. During the last four years I
have changed my mind so many times, the idea
of a lifetime commitment to a certain job seems
like torture.
