In July, my daughter Becky graduated from Washington High School. During the graduation party, one of her classmates gave a simple speech that I will remember. She talked about the “givers” of this world. She said, “You are a success if you make another person smile. If you are a friend to someone who needs a little help, you get an ‘A’!”

After the party, when all the students were outside the hall trying to find their parents and friends, a man and his wife came to me and asked if I was Becky’s mom. I said yes and the man handed me a gift and told me how much they would like thank Becky for her kindness to their daughter, Jessica, during the school sports meeting the week before.

Jessica’s left leg was hurt and she was not able to finish the up-hill race. Becky was worried about her and kept going back to check on her. Jessica’s dad told me that Becky had shown more kindness for her daughter than even the coach, and that he and his wife would never forget her kindness. Of course, by this time I had tears in my eyes, I was so proud of her.

I asked her, “So, does Becky get an ‘A’?”

He just smiled and said, “She gets an ‘A’!”

1.The speech the writer will always remember is about ______.

A. how to succeed　　 　　 B. helping others

C. how to study well　　 D. making friends

2. After the party, Jessica’s parents looked for the writer to ______.

A. give her a gift from Becky

B. ask her how to get an “A”

C. learn about Jessica’s behavior

D. thank Becky’s kindness for Jessica

3. Jessica ______ during the sports meeting.

A. hurt Becky’s leg B. fell from the hill

C. hurt her left leg　 D. lost the race

4.Which of the following is the best title(题目) for this passage?

A. She gets an “A” B. A graduation party

Hi, everyone! I will graduate from high school in June. Some of my foreign friends have asked me about the process of entering an American university(综合性大学), so here I will tell you how it works.

First you have to choose which university you want to go to. This is not easy, as there are over 3,000 universities and colleges in the USA. Do you want to stay near home, or do you want to go far away? What do you want to study? Once you have decided what is important to you, I would suggest choosing about five schools to apply to (申请). This way, if one or two schools do not accept you, you still have a chance of being accepted by the others.

After you have chosen which schools you would like to apply to, you have to finish an application form for each one. You also need to ask two or three of your teachers to write letters to the universities explaining why you would be a good university student. For many people, the worst part of applying for university is taking tests. Depending on which college or university you want to go to, you have to take either the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), which tests your language, math and writing skills, or the American College Test (ACT), which tests your knowledge in English, math, science and history.

After you have been accepted to a university, you need to be able to pay for your study there. To help students pay for their education, the government offers loans（贷款）which students do not have to repay until after they graduate. Scholarships（奖学金）are also available to students who have excellent grades, who are good players or who have financial（财政）needs. Because university tuition is so expensive, many students also work part-time while they are at university.

University courses are quite different from classes at high school. You only go to each class two or three times a week, you have to study a lot more outside of class. Classes are much bigger too and some can have as many as 200 students in them. There will be many new things to learn, but I think I will enjoy university.

I graduated from college recently and moved to Washington by myself. While I was in college, it was really easy to meet new people. But "out in the real world", I was finding it really hard.

"Good idea!" my sister answered excitedly. "Hey, you might even meet the perfect guy."

"OK, now you're starting to sound like Mom," I said. "Thanks a lot for the advice. I'm going online right now. I'll let you know what happens. Will you be home tonight?"

"No, but I'll be here all day tomorrow, so give me a call," my sister replied. "Good luck!"

What does it take to graduate from university? Some papers or high scores in exams? Well, these are not enough if you are a student at Tsinghua University.

According to a new rule of the university, students must prove themselves in the swimming pool. They need to pass a swimming test of at least 50 meters, and those who fail the test will be required to take a swimming course throughout their school years. By the time they graduate, they will have known how to swim; otherwise they can't graduate with their bachelor's deegrs(学士学位).

The news made waves in Chinese social media(媒体). Some people praised the university for requiring a necessary skill that can save lives, and they also believed that the rule would help improve students' health. However, others questioned if it was fair to expect those who come from inland cities(内陆城市） to be able to swim.

In fact, this is not a new rule. Tsinghua University first made swimming a requirement in 1919 but later gave it up because the number of students became too large and there were not enough swimming pools in the school for them to learn swimming.

Anyway, it is sill good news that Chinese students' health has become more and more valued.

Why not just take this chance to learn one more life-saving ability?

1.According to the passage, what does it take for a student to graduate from Tsinghua University?

A.Some papers. B.High scores in exams.

C.Passing a swimming test D.All of the above.

2.The underlined phrase "made waves" in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________.

A.caused a heated discussion B.spread widely

C.made a requirement D.proved the rule

3.What is the passage mainly about?

A.Different people hold different opinions about a new rule.

B.Tsinghua University has made a new rule of graduation.

C.Chinese students' health should be more and more valued.

D.There is a new chance to learn another life-saving ability.
