I always dreamed of studying abroad, to learn at a world-class university while further exploring the grounds on which these nations achieved new milestones of development with each passing day.

To study abroad after my graduation, I could not stop seeking my dream. To take the first step, I did some brainstorming and explored opportunities on the Internet and finally decided to go for China. There were a number of reasons behind it﹣its advanced education system and thousands of centuries of rich culture inspired me to study there. The primary one was my curiosity how a nation has left many nations behind in a short time at its fast pace of development.

So just like that, I applied, along with some of my friends, for a master’s degree program at Communication University of China. I was the only one who got selected in the said program and in addition, the Chinese Scholarship Council sponsored all of my expenses. This good news was welcomed by my family.

This is my seventh month in Beijing. In my experience so far, one thing that appeared to be missing was the internship（实习） which I tried to find because I want to work here after completion of my studies. After some struggles I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to work as an intern with the Center for China and Globalization（CCG）. It's very exciting to work on their team as a researcher. Now I can proudly say that my decision to choose China as a study destination was the best decision I have ever made.

Chandler Smith grew up being told that he would never accomplish his dream of being a Division 1 athlete. At 5'8" tall and 195 pounds, Chandler was on the small side to be one of the “greats”. Yet even as a high school athlete he decided to work nonstop to achieve his goals. After being accepted onto the University of Houston football team, Chandler continued to try to make a name for himself on the field.

Chandler sat on the bench for his entire freshman year in college. Sophomore year he saw more action. “I didn’t think I was going to play last year, but I had to always be ready,” he said. At the start of Chandler’s junior year the team’s management pulled him aside and dropped a life-changing, and career-confirming offer in his lap: After three years on the team as a walk-on running back, Smith was being given a full scholarship! “My heart dropped,” Smith said. “I didn't even know what to feel or what to think. It was a feeling of ‘wow’. This is really happening. All my hard work has paid off.”

Chandler called his mother Shawn to tell her the news, but when his father Richard wasn't available, he told her not to spill the beans. Later he went home, and chatted about the football season with his father. “I could be getting the first kickoff,” he told his dad. Without missing a beat, Chandler then slipped in the real news: “Something else dad, they told me they put me on a full scholarship.”

“What?” Richard yelled, jumping from the sofa and wrapping his son in a tight embrace. “Congratulations! Hard work.” Then he walked around the living room, clearly too excited to sit still. “Seeing his reaction, I just broke down in tears because I know this is something we have been talking about and expecting for a long time,” Chandler said. “To finally get it and see the benefits of your hard work felt really good.”

1.How did Chandler make it to the University of Houston football team?

C.He earned his name. D.He used physical strengths.

2.What was Chandler's feeling on receiving the good news?

C.He was confused. D.He was satisfied.

3.What do the underlined words “spill the beans” in paragraph 3 mean?

A.Give away the secret. B.Throw off the beans..

C.Prepare for the celebration. D.Hold back the feelings.

4.Which of the following best describes Richard as a father?

The dream of flying like Buzz Lightyear never dies. For years, space-age inventors have tested one wearable jet pack after another. And time after time, the designs have been grounded by dangerous fuels, excessive weight, or very loud noise levels. Now a Canadian inventor has sidestepped those weaknesses with an aquatic jet pack. Designed for travel over lakes or oceans, it’s driven by pressurized water, not burning rocket fuel.

When Raymond Li first told the idea for the aquatic jet pack to his friends, they said he must be nuts. How could a jet pack carry that much water? Its thrust-to-weight rate would be so low and it would never become airborne. Thrust-to-weight rate is a measure of the forward force produced compared with the weight of the vehicle. A vehicle with a low thrust-to-weight rate is relatively heavy for the amount of force it generates.

Li's genius idea was to place the jet pack’s engine and its water pump in a separate boat. The pump would draw water from the lake the boat was floating on. It would then force the water under pressure through a hose connected to the jet pack. The hose would be long enough to let the pack go up as high as 8.5 meters (28 feet) in the air.

Today, Li's invention, the Jetlev-Flyer, is ready to go into production. The pack itself, complete with jet nozzles （管嘴） and handlebars, weighs just 14 kilograms. The boat is a floating pod. To take off, the operator hits a trigger on a handlebar, which starts the pump, and then turns the throttle. Two streams of high-velocity water shoot through the hose and out the nozzles, lifting the operator into the air. The operator hovers there or pushes down on the handlebars, zooming forward at speeds of up to 64 kilometers per hour, pulling the pod behind.

1.All the following factors contribute to the failure of inventing a wearable jet pack EXCEPT ______.

A. excessive water     B. unbearable noise    C. unsafe fuels   D. too much weight

2. The underlined word “sidestepped” in Para. 1 most probably means ________.

A. improved          B. reduced         C. avoided         D. solved

3. Raymond Li’s friends found his idea for the aquatic jet pack was ________.

A. exciting           B. crazy          C. realistic         D. creative

4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. His friends encouraged him to do the invention.

B. He put the engine and its water pump in the same boat.

C. The success of his invention lies in his bravery.

D. His invention finally succeeded and will go into production.

5.Which is the right order to make the Jetlev-Flyer take off?

a. The throttle is turned.                  b. The operator is lifted into the air.

c. A trigger is hit.                       d. Two streams of water shoot out.

The pump is started.

A. c, e, a, d, b          B. c, e, a, b, d            C. e, c, d, b, a          D. e, a, c, d, b
