閱讀測驗

In high school, I was a big fish in a small pond. I was a high scorer on the basketball team and a regular on the honor roll. My teachers held me up as a good example for others to follow, and younger students would ask me for advice. I felt quite good about myself, but I soon made a terrible discovery, which is known as college.

In my first month at college, I found that I was too short to make the basketball team. I also realized that I wasn’t quite as smart as I had thought. Daily life turned out to be a struggle, too. Social skills, however, turned out to be even more difficult to master. Although the university had 10 times as many teachers and students as my high school, no one was really interested in me. In a short time, I had gone from being a big fish in a small pond to being a fish out of water.

But I decided to make an effort to get to know my roommates and the other schoolmates, and slowly, I started to have friends. Though I didn’t get into the college team, I played pickup (臨時組成的) basketball. As to my classes, I met some upperclassmen who taught me patiently, and my grades got better.

After first semester finals, I headed home for a holiday. To my surprise, I discovered that I missed college. Without realizing it, I had done a lot of growing up in my semester away, and that is no fish story.
