Are you worried by the rising crime rate? If you are, then you probably know that your house, possessions and person are increasingly in danger of suffering from the tremendous rise in the cases of burglary and assault(攻擊).

16、Passage Four

College is a new and different experience for me. I'm away from home, so I have many things to adjust to, such as being on my own and meeting many different types of people. There are a lot of things that I like about college that I would like to describe for you.

First of all, living at college gives me a sense of responsibilityand of being on my own. My parents aren't around to say, No, you're not going out tonight. or Did you finish your homework? Everything I do has to be my decision, and that makes me responsible for my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I could open an account. And when I got to the bank, I had to decide whether to have a checking or savings account and whether or not to get a credit card. Decisions! Decisions!

Friendly people is another thing I like about college. On the first day I came to Marymount University here in Virginia from New York, I was a bit confused about where I was going. My mother and I drove in. We did not know the building we were supposed to go to, but the guard was very nice. With a smile, he told us what building we were looking for and where we could park our car. My room was on the first floor of New Gerard, and I knew I had to go through some glass doors, but my mother and I didn't know which ones. Some students saw me and asked, Are you a new student? When they found out I was looking for New Gerard, one said, Oh, just follow us; that's where we're going. Even now I feel comfortable in the dorm(學(xué)生宿舍) because there are friendly people around to talk with.

I do like a lot of things about college, but that doesn't mean I don't think about things at home. Although I like college, I can still get homesick. New York is a very good place, too! And sometimes I miss it!

The text is perhaps written by()

A、A.a new student

B、B.a new teacher

C、C.a foreign reporter

D、D.a foreign visitor

17、What does gives me a sense of responsibility in the first sentence of Paragraph 2 mean? It means it makes me feel()

A、A.It''s a student''s name

B、B.It''s a teacher''s name
