I ALMOST failed out of college and it nearly broke my self-confidence. I had been at the top of my high school class, the total golden child. So when I decided that I wanted to attend Columbia University for graduate school, I was sure it would be close to impossible.
My goals were to prove to myself that my years of academic success in secondary school had not happened by chance and prepare for a career in children’s media. But first I had to get in.
So I enrolled (报名) in a GRE test prep course and threw myself into the class. The first part was pretty scary and by the third, I knew it wasn’t going to get any easier. I reconsidered my plan to take the GRE.
For the first time in my life, I considered how I should go about getting into graduate school. What were my special skills? Would any of them get me into graduate school?
I got a job working on a project sponsored by the dean’s (系主任的) office on campus and enrolled in a class. I had a new plan: Be a top student in the class while working on campus, get letters of recommendation from my boss and my professor, then hope that playing to my strengths like writing interesting papers would be enough for my application.
I worked my butt off (很努力工作) that semester. With finals approaching, I felt confident I would get an “A” in the course, so it was time for step two. I asked my boss to write a letter of recommendation. She immediately agreed. But my professor said no. She did not know me well enough and the semester was not completed. However, I decided I just would not take no for an answer. I asked if she would least write a short note unofficially supporting my application. After some uncomfortable conversations, she finally agreed. In the end, I got in!
I revisit that moment of persistence (执着) again and again. I have leapt into many other opportunities since then. Now I am starting a company born out of my graduate school research in children’s media. Our first product is a mobile game for teen girls that breaks down major life milestones (里程碑) into missions (任务). On its surface, the product helps girls connect with each other. But it also helps them develop the tools to live life without limits.
1.The writer stopped taking the GRE prep course because ______.
A. the beginning of the GRE course was really frightening
B. she realized by the third part of her GRE class that her plan wouldn’t work
C. Columbia University would not accept the GRE test
D. she didn’t put all her efforts into the GRE course at first
2. The underlined words “playing to my strengths” in Paragraph 5 probably mean “ ______”.
A. developing my physical power
B. making use of what I am good at
C. doing something to the best of my ability
D. doing something with all the strength I have
3.One of the reasons why the professor refused to write a letter of recommendation was that ______.
A. the author had almost failed out of college
B. the author was not a top student in high school
C. the author was not her favorite student in the class
D. the professor did not know enough about the author
4. The writer succeeded in getting into the graduate school because of ______.
A. her “A” grade
B. her strong letters of recommendation
C. her strong determination and her good plan to make herself stand out
D. her interest in children’s media and outstanding skills in writing interesting papers

It was the end of my first day as a waitress in a busy New York restaurant. My cap had gone away, and my feet hurt. The loaded plates I carried seemed to be heavier and heavier. Tired and discouraged, I didn’t seem able to do anything right. As I made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream order a dozen times, I was ready to stop. Then the father smiled at me as he handed me my tip. “Well done,” he said, “you’ve looked after us really well.” Suddenly my tiredness disappeared. I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how I’d liked my first day, I said, “Fine!” Those few words of praise had changed everything. Praise is like sunlight to human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it. And yet, most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold criticism(批评), but are unwilling to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise. Perhaps that is why one word of praise can bring such pleasure.
It’s strange how chary we are about praising. Perhaps it’s because few of us know how to accept it. It’s especially rewarding to give praise in areas in which effort generally goes unnoticed.An artist gets admired for a glorious picture,a cook for a perfect meal.But do you ever tell your laundry (洗衣房)manager how pleased you are when the shirts are done just right? In fact,to give praise costs the giver nothing but a moment’s thought and a moment’s effort.
1.Which of the following can’t describe the writer’s situation before she got her tip?
A. She was tired. B. She was busy.
C. She was sorry. D. She was confident.
2.According to the passage,which of the following is least likely to be given praise?
A.An artist. B.A cook.
C.A waitress. D.A laundry manager.
3. The underlined word “chary” in Paragraph 2 means_________.
A. careless B. cautious
C. unwilling D. greedy
4.What is the best title of the passage?
A.Why Do You Praise Others?
B.Why do You Criticize Others?
C.Be Generous to Give Others Praise!
D.Don’t Criticize Others!

It was the end of the school term and my son Tom had less than three months left before he would finish his six years at high school. During this time he had developed a love for basketball. Sadly, because of my work over the last twelve months, I had only been able to attend a few of his games; however, I was determined to get to his last game for the school term.
Tom’s team came out in the first 10 minutes with a burst of goals that saw them leading by just over 20 points at the end of the first half. The second half changed as the other team quickly played themselves back into the game. Tom’s team started to miss an increasing number of shots. It was at that point that the coach called his first time out.
The noise of the spectators (观众) became quiet as the coach spoke to them. He had the team standing in a half circle, but he squatted (蹲) down, looking up at them and fiving some very calm and clear instructions on what they needed to do in the last couple of minutes. As he stood up to allow the team to return to the court, I saw him give some further words of encouragement to all of them.
You could see that he knew that the team was fighting to save the game and that he needed to lift them up. By squatting down he placed himself in a position where he was talking up to them, rather than down or at them, and as the players went back onto the court his words of encouragement served to lift their energy and spirits.
Well, Tom’s team went on to win the final by 5 points. As I drove away I thought about what can happen to us all in our everyday life. One of my favourite quotes is about the half filled glass of water --- “Is it half full or is it half empty?” Like the coach, the answer to this quote all depends on how you look at things.
1.Why did the writer come to see his son play basketball?
A. Because his son would graduate from high school.
B. Because he felt sorry for never watching his son play.
C. Because it was a final his son played a key role in.
D. Because he had a strong interest in basketball himself.
2.By squatting down, the coach wanted to _____ .
A. talk about what the players were doing wrong
B. make the players feel better
C. prevent spectators from hearing what he said
D. show his anger at the bad performance of the players
3.What is the writer’s attitude towards the coach?
A. Negative. B. Supportive. C. Interested. D. Unconcerned.
4.What can we infer from the passage?
A. A father should care about his son at school.
B. Playing hard is rewarded with a close match.
C. What a coach says has the most influence on players.
D. Looking at things positively is important in hard times.
