I thought if l could get an internship,可知，作者無意中聽到來自舊金山的一家大公司在自己所住酒店的隔壁開派對，她在想自己能否在那家公司得到一個實習的機會，因此，2011年作者去達拉斯是為了尋找一個實習機會，故選D。（2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的By leaving Texas, I learned that it is so much more rewarding to try the unfamiliar than to stay in the fortable.可知，作者認識到嘗試不熟悉的東西比呆在舒適區(qū)更有意義，也就是說作者從這個經(jīng)歷中學到的最大的教訓是跳出舒適區(qū)是有意義的，故選B。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的I wasn39。t invited to the StubHub party.

Sam and I developed a very special bond over the next years. At one point, my husband and I decided to move to a new home in New Jersey. Our neighbor, whose cat had recently had kittens, asked if we would like one. We were a little apprehensive about Sam39。s jealousy and how he would handle his turf（地盤）being invaded, but we decided to risk it. We picked a little, gray, playful ball of Fur. She raced around chasing imaginary mice and squirrels and jumped from table to chair in the blink of an eye, so we named her Lightning. At first, Sam and Lightning were very cautious with each other and kept their distance. But slowly, Lightning started following Sam — up the stairs, down the stairs, into the kitchen. Later, when they slept, it was always together。 when they ate, it was always next to each other. When I took either one out, the other was always waiting by the door when we returned. That was the way it was for years. Then, without any warning, Sam was diagnosed as having a weak heart. I had no other choice but to have him put down. The pain was nothing pared with what I experienced when I had to walk into our house alone. This time, there was no Sam for Lightning to greet and no way to explain why she would never see her friend again.In the following days, Lightning seemed heartbroken. I could see the disappointment in her eyes whenever anyone opened the front door, or the hope whenever she heard a dog bark. One day as I walked into our living room, I happened to see Lightning was lying next to the sculptured replica（復制品）of Sam that we had bought a few years ago, one arm wrapped around the statue39。s neck, contentedly sleeping with her best friend.（1）What does the underlined word apprehensive in paragraph 2 mean?
