Ali couldn’t wait until September. June had been 36 , with all those school – leaving exams to do. He spent July 37 . The exam results finally arrived in August. He knew he wasn’t the most intelligent boy. 38 , it was really important for him to do well. He just wanted to get away from his 39 .
For Ali, going to university was not a chance to 40 his education as most of students do, 41 a chance to get away from his hometown to 42 new people, to become a totally 43 person. The town he lived in was a very small town. There were a few shops on the main street. There wasn’t anywhere for young people to meet, so they spent time walking up and down the main street. Everybody knew 44 else in his town. Ali was 45 eager to leave. He didn’t really know what his ambitions were yet, but he was 46 he had them.
His hands 47 as he opened the envelope. He took out the letter, and sighed with 48 . It was OK. He hadn’t done 49 , but his grades were good enough. He had got a place at the University of Rummidge. The course started in 50 .
When he got off the train at the main station in Rummidge, he felt 51 at last. The whole world was before him. Rummidge wasn’t a beautiful place, but that didn’t 52 to Ali. He was looking forward to 53 new things.
The University was a short 54 from the city center. It was much more attractive than the 55 of the city. Rummidge wasn’t the oldest university in Britain, nor the most prestigious (有影响力的), but Ali didn’t mind. For him, it was a new world, a new start.
