Unit 15 Learning Section Ⅰ Warm-up Lesson 1-Pre-reading 阅读理解 A When leaving school，I was pleased that my exam results meant that I could study engineering at university.But I also wanted to travel before starting my course.A friend of mine told me about the Schools Exploring Society，an organization which helps students take a gap year (a year between leaving school and going to college)．It has three foreign journeys a year，taking 16－20－year－olds on science and nature trips.I love being outdoors，and a mountaineering trip to Alaska was on offer.So I signed up (报名) immediately. There was one problem，though.I had to raise a large amount of money for the trip.It was a big task，but I managed to make it.I washed cars，worked in a cafe and also sold off some of my old books，clothes and CDs.Then，just before starting out，I started worrying.Can I do this？Am I fit enough？What if I see a bear? Seventy of us traveled to Alaska.The first two days after arrival were spent in a school hall preparing our equipment and five tons of food.Then we left for the beautiful Talkeetna Mountain.On the trip we dug paths and recognized plant species.Then we climbed a mountain that was over 6,000 feet high.It was tiring but exciting. Looking back，a gap year was so right for me.I learned a lot about accepting other people for what they are.We had to help each other and it made me less selfish.My gap year has also made me more able to concentrate (专心)．Now，whenever I’m worried about anything，I think I did Alaska—I can do this! 语篇解读　本文是记叙文。作者介绍了自己在“间隔年”去阿拉斯加的旅游经历以及收获。 1．We can learn from Paragraph 1 that the author________.
