Unit 4 Global warming 阅读理解·组块专练——练速度 (限时：35分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2016·济南市高三调研) For twenty years, I saved all my college course notes and textbooks: thats a lot of paper. Worse, its not easy to carry them around — and trust me, they arent light — on at least seven moves. Yet I never once looked at them. They sat in our basement, covered in a thick layer of dust. If books and papers could wonder, theyd wonder why they were still under our stairs after all those years. When would the Big Day come? Well, the Big Day eventually did arrive; only it was different than expected. My wife, always more accepting changes than I am, finally talked me into clearing out the entire mess. The pain I experienced was also unexpected. What hurt me was to come across those terrible papers Id written, which reminded me of my poor study habits, and an embarrassing lack of comprehension. It was great to get rid of them. But it was also a clearing of personal history. At first, I struggled with this. The truth was in the record that my books, my notes, and my papers were primary source materials, documenting an important time in my life. To clear them out was to clear out the truth. What Ive learned since taking this leap is that the process is more important than the truth. I feel as if much of my real education during my college years isnt in the documents but now in me. So I am glad to free myself of this physical burden. And whats better is that I dont need to look back to those painful moments. They belong to the past. You might want to consider doing something similar, either under the stairs of your basement or in your mind. What is the personal rubbish piling in your life? Clear it out and make your life awesome. 语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者下决心清除了堆积多年的大学课本和笔记后，从开始纠结“清除了过去的记录，就清除了过去的历史”到最终明白“过程才最重要”的道理。 1．Why was the author finally determined to desert all the college materials?
