World Series, the United States
A century’s worth of the World Series has seen many exciting matches. To get to the series,
each of the 32 teams in the major leagues must experience a 162-game season, followed by three
playoffs. The first is a best-of-five series, followed by two best-of-seven series.
Super Bowl, the United States
The Super Bowl is so big that even the commercial advertisements are worth watching.When
it was held for the first time in 1967, there were plenty of empty seats and it attracted a small TV
audience. It is the competition between the top team from the American Football Conference and
the top team from the National Football Conference for the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
24 Hours of Le Mans, France
Skill,speed and stamina are the three dimensions that mark the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The
competition is set on a non-permanent track at Circuit de la Sarthe near the city of Le Mans in
France. The winner is the car, driven by a team of three drivers, which covers the greatest distance
in 24 hours. The first Le Mans contest took place in May 1923. Today it is held every June.

B
As children we are well-trained to find the right answer. We are rewarded for A's, the honor
roll and acing the test. Our education trains us to follow the rules and deliver the expected answers.
When we do, awards and congratulations follow. Yet when we grow up, it gets a little harder. Life
and careers don’t have tests with an A if we get the “right” answer.
I recently had coffee with a college student who will graduate. She is struggling with what
she wants for her career. She wants her parents to be proud of her and to continue the success she
has had in school. She also talked about other students in her graduating class who are set to do
"some big things," like working for impressive companies. Yet she wasn't sure of the right answer
for using her degree. She said that deep down she was hoping that someone might give her the
answer.
We both agreed that it comes down to not looking for the right answer, but her answer. The
grown-up definition of the “right answer” is different than that in school. What would you do if
you weren't afraid? It takes time to know these answers. And they can change over time and at any
point in your career. My encouragement is to get valued advice and input, of course, but finally to
look within yourself for the answers. It helps to come back to:
What do I want to be known for? What is my definition of success? What am I best at? If I
had no fears, what would I do? What is one step I can take today to move me toward my goal
(even if it's not perfectly clear)?
I find these types of questions are more helpful at getting to our unique answer rather than
“right answer” questions, such as: What will my parents want? What degree or job will mark me
as accomplished to the world? What is my best option based on where I work today?
24. What does the author mean to say in the first paragraph?
A. Life is harder for adults than children.
B. Academic excellence is not necessary.
C. It is not helpful to follow the rules in school.
D. Rules in life are different from those in school.
25. What is wrong with the college student?
A. She does badly in her studies.
B. Her parents are not proud of her.
