Understand your directional future, and plan ...

Understand your directional future, and plan ahead, but most of all plan a life which is full of excitement and a life which you’ll enjoy living.

As the manager of the World Youth Organization, I must say, “It is not quite easy to get this position.” My parents have always been top supporters for my educational progress rather than my true passion, which of course is the World Youth Organization. There have been many arguments when it comes to the controversial topics. Time after time I have to protect my belief and hope it will come true one day.

Proving one wrong, especially your parents, is a tough ride. But when you love something, you constantly put up a fight. You stand for what you believe in, which is one of the most important aspects of life. Any parent or carer would require too much, “You must go to university”, “You will not get anywhere without that degree.” All of those sentences make the perfect sense, when you’re dreaming of becoming a nurse, doctor, teacher or scientist, or a career path which requires that important degree. But I believe what many parents see is that when one has the degree, he/she is automatically set on the right path of life.

However, when the truth is bitter, it doesn’t always go smoothly. If I am not full of passion, will I lead a happy life? Possibly. Will I be true to myself ? No. However, if you are enthusiastic about the subject you study, you are willing to do everything to make it a reality.

A person can take many paths in life, and you just need to find the best one for yourself. I strongly agree with considering something to fall back on just in case plan A doesn’t go well. Stick with your passion as plan A, unless staying in college can ensure you are going to be okay in the future.

Follow your passion, be prepared to work hard, be devoted and above all, don’t let anyone limit your dreams.

1.What attitude do the writer’s parents hold towards his choice?

A.Supportive. B.Negative. C.Positive. D.Interested.

2.Which of the following can cause a fight between you and your parents in the writer’s view?

C.You hold on to your belief. D.You study hard for the degree.

3.What does the underlined part “plan A” in the fifth paragraph refer to?

A.Your passion. B.Your happy life,

C.The subject you study. D.The college you will go to.

4.What is the most important thing in exciting life, according to the last paragraph?

A.Love. B.Hard work. C.Devotion. D.Independence.

5.What is the best title for the passage?

A.Always Stick with Your Passion as Plan A B.A Generation Gap Between Children and Parents

Life is difficult.

But life is no longer difficult once we truly understand and accept it.

Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that their difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.

What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is painful. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.

Yet, it is in this whole of solving problems that life has its meaning.

Problems are the serious test that tells success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit we encourage the human ability to solve problems just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurts, instruct.” It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.

1.From the passage, it can be inferred that ______.

A. not everybody has problems

B. we become stronger by facing and solving the problems in life

C. life is difficult because our problems bring us pain

D. people like to complain about their problems

2.The writer uses just one short sentence in the first paragraph probably to ______.

A. save space　　　　　　　　　 B. persuade readers

C. make readers laugh　　　 D. get readers’ attention

3.According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to ______.

A. encourage them to learn

B. make them suffer

C. help them learn to deal with pain

D. help them understand life is difficult

4.“Those things that hurt, instruct.” From Benjamin Franklin suggests that ______.

A. we do not learn from experience

B. we do not learn when we are in pain

C. pain teaches us important lessons

D. pain cannot be forgotten

高二英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

Most of us are already aware of the direct effect we have on our friends and family. But we rarely consider that everything we think, feel, do, or say can spread far beyond the people we know. Conversely(相反地), our friends and family serve as conduits(渠道) for us to be influenced by hundreds or even thousands of other people. In a kind of social chain reaction, we can be deeply affected by events we do not witness that happen to people we do not know. As part of a social network, we go beyond ourselves, for good or ill, and become a part of something much larger.

Our connectedness carries with it fundamental implications(影响) for the way we understand the human condition. Social networks have value precisely because they can help us to achieve what we could not achieve on our own. Yet, social network effects are not always positive. Depression, obesity, financial panic, and violence also spread. Social networks, it turns out, tend to magnify(放大) whatever they are seeded with.

Partly for this reason, social networks are creative. And what these networks create does not belong to any one individual—it is shared by all those in the network. In this way, a social network is like a commonly owned forest: we all stand to benefit from it, but we also must work together to ensure it remains healthy and productive. While social networks are fundamentally and distinctively human, and can be seen everywhere, they should not be taken for granted.

If you are happier or richer or healthier than others, it may have a lot to do with where you happen to be in the network, even if you cannot recognize your own location. And it may have a lot to do with the overall structure of the network, even if you cannot control that structure at all. And in some cases, the process feeds back to the network itself. A person with many friends may become rich and then attract even more friends. This richget-richer dynamic means social networks can dramatically reinforce two different kinds of inequality in our society: situational inequality and positional inequality.

Lawmakers have not yet considered the consequences of positional inequality. Still, understanding the way we are connected is an essential step in creating a more just society and in carrying out public policies affecting everything from public health to the economy. We might be better off vaccinating(接种疫苗) centrally located individuals rather than weak individuals. We might be better off helping interconnected groups of people to avoid criminal behavior rather than preventing or punishing crimes one at a time.

If we want to understand how society works, we need to fill in the missing links between individuals. We need to understand how interconnections and interactions between people give rise to wholly new aspects of human experience that are not present in the individuals themselves. If we do not understand social networks, we cannot hope to fully understand either ourselves or the world we inhabit.

1.What can be inferred from the first paragraph?

A.We can't be easily affected by strangers.

B.We are connected and form a social network.

C.We have negative effects on other social members.

D.We will not make a difference in a specific group.

2.What does the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ?

A.something larger B.our connectedness

C.the human condition D.a social network

3.A social network can be compared to a commonly owned forest because ______.

A.it remains healthy and productive.

B.it tends to magnify negative things.

C.it is creative and shared by people in the whole society.

D.what it creates can be enjoyed by everyone in the network.

4.What's the author's purpose in writing the passage?

A.To introduce the characteristics of social networks.

B.To urge people to understand how our society works.

C.To show the significance of understanding social networks.

D.To explain the possible consequences of ignoring social networks.
