In the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl going to Howard University, aiming at a law career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different story to tell.

My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to leave college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.

Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a mix of adopted(收养)and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To put eyes on him was wonderful---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy then followed son No.3. in 2003, I gave birth to another boy.

You can imagine how engaged I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each term

The hardest part was feeling sorry about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to give up, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.

In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!

I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you are looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you are in the middle of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process(过程). Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.

Twenty-five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creative enough, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.

According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK company, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger(博客), or “vlogger(视频博主)”. The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.

This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.

In the past, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting(互动) with their fans about everyday life.”

However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame and fortune. For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever.

Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don’t necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It’s an online platform(平台) for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that’s enough for him.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A. Most young Britons choose to be vloggers as their job.

B. The Internet is influencing young Britions’ career choice.

C. The Internet is taking the place of traditional studios.

D. Young Britons can not find jobs without the Internet.

2.Why do more and more young Britons choose to be vloggers?

A. Vloggers can earn little fame and money on the Internet.

B. There is too much competition in the traditional show business.

C. The Internet makes it convenient to become vloggers.

D. Anyone with a computer will surely become a star.

3.What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?

A. Only a few vloggers can be successful.

B. A vlogger can not earn fame and fortune.

C. People often see the bright side of being a vlogger.

D. Dreams will always remain to be dreams.

4.What do young people like David do on the Internet?

A. Learn from others.　　 B. Become an online hit.

C. Hold running races.　　 D. Mix jobs with hobbies.

5.What is the meaning of the underlined word, “fame” in the fifth paragraph?

C. being wise and healthy

D. getting a large sum of money

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

I graduated in 2004 and moved to Israel, making a career as an English teacher. I am always looking for interesting projects to get my students more inspired to learn the language. Through Facebook, I saw that Kirstin, a friend of mine, was teaching at a school in an East African country. I contacted Kirstin and asked her if she would like to do a letter exchange between my students in Jerusalem and her students in Tanzania.

It took a while to wait for Kirstin’s answer because Internet access is not easy to come in the countryside of Tanzania, but when she finally was able to connect, she responded with a huge yes.

Two months later, a package arrived. The students gathered around my table in class, and we went over the letters together. “My name is Nelson,” one letter read. “I am 13 years old. I live in Njombe, Tanzania. I like to play ball, to ride a bike, and to read books.” Below the handwritten letter was a colorful drawing of a boy wearing traditional Tanzanian clothing.

My students were excited. “This is so cool! What a great project,” shouted one of my students, Hadas. This was followed by a group of students asking if we could travel to Tanzania to meet their new friends. One student, Nir, suggested maybe they could simply become friends on Facebook instead. “The kids don’t have Facebook accounts. And there’s very limited Internet access in their area of Tanzania, I explained to them.

It was hard for my students to imagine that there were places in the world where teens did not have online social networking systems.

The pen pal project gave my students the chance to not only practice their English, but to also learn about other areas in our world.

1.Why did the author get in touch with Kirstin?

A.To get to know East Africa.

B.To learn English online from her.

C.To let two classes write to each other.

D.To ask her for advice about teaching English.

2.How did Kirstin react to the author’s request?

A.She turned it down. B.She accepted it willingly.

C.She replied immediately. D.She never showed up online.

3.What was the attitude of the author’s students toward the project?

A.Disappointed. B.Uncaring.

C.Favorable. D.Doubtful.

4.What is the best title for this text?

A.Two Heads Are Better Than One

B.A friend In Need Is A Friend Indeed

C.How Writing Letters Improves People’s Relationships

D.How A Class Pen Pal Project Connected Two Continents
