My brother's first year at college was terrible.

　　题干大意：我哥哥在大学的第一年过得非常糟糕。定位到文中第二段的第三、四句，“So he took his second choice, and off he went to a first year. When he came home for summer vacation, he said he'd move to Rhode Island near Brown, find a job, and do whatever he could to become known in the area.”，所以他选择了第二志愿的学校，去大学上了一年。当他回家度暑假的时候，他说他会搬到布朗附近的罗德岛，找份工作，然后尽一切可能在这个地区出名。文中没有提及我哥哥在学校的第一年是否过得很糟糕，故选C。
