I came to study in the US last fall. My life had been quite   1  since I arrived at Andover. Although I had quite a few activities, I hadn't taken any official leadership position.

This   2  changed when I received an e-mail from Ms. Griffith, my cluster (a group of dorms) dean (主任),   3  that a new female DC Rep was needed. DC Rep  4  Discipline Committee Representative (代表).   5  boarding school students break serious rules, like using   6  , getting drunk or cheating in their studies. The punishments given to such students are  7  by a DC Rep. I was really interested in becoming DC Rep for my cluster, Pine Knoll,   8  so were five other students. We had to hold  9  and Ms. Griffith asked us to write  10  to be sent to everyone in Pine Knoll.

I thought it hard to write. I didn't want to make any  11  , because they are difficult to keep. I didn't want to say I was experienced, because I was not. So I started my speech by explaining  12  I wanted to become a DC Rep. "I want to serve Pine Knoll and also learn how American boarding schools carry out discipline (紀律)," I wrote  13  .

I made three  14  that said "Vote For Teresa" and put them on every exit of my dorm so that people would   15  my name when they want to vote.

Although I tried hard, I didn't win the election. I was   16  , but my positive (積極的) nature did not allow me to  17  for very long. I actually  18  when my friends tried to comfort me. "Teresa, I am sorry that you didn't win the election," they would say.

"No, don't be sorry for me. I am very happy to have taken part in the election," I said.

It is true; the  19  is much more important than the result. I am surprised and happy to discover my hidden  20  .

I came to live here where I am now between Wounded Knee Greek and Grass Greek. Others came too, and we made these little grey houses of logs that you see, and they are square, It is a bad way to live, for there can be no power in a square.
You have noticed that everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles, and everything tries to be round. In the old days when we were a strong and happy people, all our power came to us from the respectful circle of the nation, and so long as the circle was unbroken, the people were getting rich. The flowering tree was the living center of the circle, and the circle of the four quarters nursed it. The east gave peace and light, the south gave warmth, the west gave rain, and the north with its cold and strong wind gave strength and continuous power. This knowledge came to us from the outer world with our brief. Everything the Power of the World does is done in a circle. The sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. Birds make their nests in circle, for theirs are the same as ours. The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. The moon does the same, and both are round. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves. Our places were like the nests of birds, and these were always set in a circle, the nation’s circle, a nest of many nests, where the Great Spirit meant for us to nurse our children.
But the Wasichus (Indian word for “white people”) have put us in these square boxes. Our power is gone and we are dying, for the power is not in us any more. You can look at our boys and see how it is with us. Where we were living by the power of the circle in the way we should, boys were men at twelve or thirteen years of age. But now it takes them very much longer to be full - grown.
【小題1】.
According to the passage, the Indians _______.

A.don’t have modern instruments in their homes
B.refused to move from round places
C.lived in round places, but were forced to live in square houses

【小題2】.
Two things being compared in the passage are _______.
A.the Indians’ past and present living conditions
B.the Indians’ past and modern beliefs
C.the Indians’ old and new power
D.people and nature
【小題3】.
. In the second paragraph “the four quarters” refers to _______.
A.the four rooms of the Indian’s house
B.the four kinds of natural power
C.the four seasons
D.the four directions
【小題4】.

I came to India a year ago to find a village in which I could live and write but it was many months before I settled down happily in this Himalayan community.I wasted a lot of time looking for the “typical” village, yet no such thing exists. Conditions vary too widely.But the villages I stayed in had much in common—poverty, dirt, ignorance. Often the villagers themselves were puzzled, suspicious. Why had I come? I had put aside my work as a political journalist because my ideas had changed. I had come to believe that what was happening in the Third World was more important than anything else. But to understand how three quarters of the world’s people live, and how their future might affect ours, I felt that I first had to try and share their way of life.In the end I chose a mountain village because it was a little cooler than those in the plains. I took the bus from town along a bumpy road. Then came a rough walk down a steep path to the river. After this I began the climb into the Mils. Whenever I stopped to catch my breath, there was a magnificent view. After several hours’ walk the village came into view.
【小題1】After the writer had arrived in India,________.

A.he spent a year writing about the place he lived in
B.he spent quite some time looking for a suitable place to live in
C.he stayed in an Indian village working for the poor
D.he lived in a Himalayan community for many months.
【小題2】While looking for a typical village, the writer found__________.
A.he was searching for the impossible
B.all the villages were exactly the same
C.he was doing something enjoyable
D.the villagers were curious about him
【小題3】Before coming to India, the writer________.
