　　June 2004
　　School is out, junior year is over and the senior year is next. On the last day of school, all of us juniors were so excited to say that we are officially seniors-the class of 2005. We finished our last exams and received our grades. And that research paper I was so worried about. Well. I passed it with flying colours.
　　Our annual spring dance show went smoothly and was great. Even though it was an emotional night for all the seniors and other members who were leaving the team, we had to hide our sadness and put smiles on our faces for the show. The audience enjoyed the show so much, and some people even said that they wanted to stand up and dance with us. Oh, what fun we had!Since summer has begun, I have started thinking about my senior year and how close I am to heading into that big world. Honestly I am scared to death because what I'm going to do in college will basically determine my future. I mean, I look back on my three years in high school and see that I have done what I needed to, but I also see some things I've done. But I have learned, and will not make the same mistakes twice. My junior year was the toughest: getting ready for my senior year, keeping my grades up, all of those national tests, and just handling the pressure. Although the pressure was tough, my friends and family were there to support me and keep my hopes high. They made sure that I wouldn't fall, and if I did, they would just pick me right up.
　　Everything is going so well in my life right now. My school life and my personal life are on the straight path again. I'm ready for my last year in high school and my first year in college, but I'm still wondering what college I will be going to. Soon enough I will know which college, and a new chapter will begin in my book of life.
　　根据短文内容,简要回答下列问题.
　　1. Is this passage a letter or a diary? _______________________________________
　　2. What grade is Miss Christa in now? _______________________________________
　　3. How about their spring dance show? _______________________________________
　　4. What does the word pressure mean here in Chinese? _______________________________________
　　5. What college will Miss Christa go? _______________________________________
