大学英语（三）综合复习资料 I. Reading Comprehension Passage 1 I arrived in the United States on February 6,1966, but I remember my first day here very clearly.

I did not feel tired, so I continued to walk around the city. I wanted to see everything on my first day. I knew it was impossible, but I wanted to try.
