I had just delivered a memorable speech, and I was about to learn how
the judges decided my performance. The audience leaned forward and a
period of silence fell across the room. I felt the drum rolled in my heart.
The third-place winner was announced. The name was not mine. Then the
second-place winner, still not me. At last, the moment of truth came. I was
about to either enjoy the warmth of victory or regret the months’ preparation.
My heart felt closer to the latter.
Losing is a part of life, and I have dealt with it on more than one occasion.
However, it was an indescribable feeling to drive a 200-mile round trip, get up
very early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of
four competitors in my group. After Lincoln lost the 1858 Illinois Senate race,
he said, “I felt like the 12-year-old boy who kicked his toe. I was too big to
cry and it hurt too bad to laugh.” Oh yeah, I could relate.
I had spent many hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research
for the Lincoln Bicentennial Speech Contest. After not placing in the first year
of the contest, I really wanted to compete again. Lincoln had many failures,
but he never allowed them to defeat his spirit or ambition, so I was not going
to give up on a second contest! I reworked my speech for the following year,
but again I did not place.
I couldn’t accept the fact that I failed twice in something that I had worked
so hard on, until I thought about my hero. Never mind the lost prize money
and praise—through learning stories about Lincoln, I discovered that I can fail
successfully.
4.How did the author feel after finishing his speech?
A Delighted. B. Annoyed. C. Thrilled. D. Nervous.
5. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. He was regretful about his not being fully prepared.
B. He felt upset for getting up early on a chilly morning.
C. He once kicked and hurt his toe when he was 12 years old.
D. He turned out to be the last one of his group in the contest.
6. Why did the author decide to enter the second contest?
A. He was eager to prove himself to be the best contestant.
B. He was inspired by the never-give-up spirit of Lincoln.
C. He was willing to enjoy the warmth and joy of victory.
D. He was determined to win the prize money and praise.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. A memorable hero in my life
B. Never mind others’ judgments
C. Losing is an indescribable feeling
D. Stand up from where we tripped over
C
It has been four years since Grandma Joy told her grandson that she had
never seen the most beautiful views of America. Since then, they have gone
on many cross-country trips.
Brad Ryan had been feeling tired of studying in a vet school when he
visited his 85-year-old grandma in 2015. He hoped that spending some quality
family time would help lift his spirits.
As he was telling his grandma stories of his travels, however, he was
heartbroken to hear that she had never seen the ocean or mountains. Ryan then
asked his grandmother if she would like to go hiking with him. Needless to
say, she was more than happy to agree.
They have since visited 29 different national parks across America---
from the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado to the Acadia National Park in Maine.
Over the four years, Ryan and his grandma have driven 25,000 miles through
38 states. And it has greatly affected his quality of life. “Seeing it through my
grandmother’s eyes, who every morning wakes up and is thankful to be alive
has taught me how to live,” Ryan said. “With her, I’ve had to slow down and
see life in a different way, which has made it a lot richer.”
“I love my grandma so much, and it’s just really giving me a lot of peace
when she passed away. I can go back to these places, feel her spirit, and feel
connected to her,” he added.
Ryan posted all of their trips on Facebook. He hopes more young people
will spare time to be with their elders. “I want young people to know that
hanging out with your grandparents is cool. And there’s so much we can learn
from our elders,” Ryan said.
8. Why did Brad Ryan visit his grandma in 2015?
A. To cheer himself up. B. To please his grandma.
C. To take his grandma to travel. D. To share his travelling experiences.
9. How did Brad Ryan feel when he heard his grandma had never seen the
ocean or mountains?
A. Shocked. B. Sad. C. Doubtful. D. Excited
10. What influence did Brad Ryan’s grandma have on him?
A. She made him live a better life. B. She helped him find his life goal.
C. She told him to have peace of mind.
D. She gave him a lot of encouragement.
11. What is Brad Ryan’s purpose of posting their trips online?
A. To advise young people to take a trip.
B. To share his joy of travelling with his grandma.
C. To encourage the young to keep their elders company.
D. To show young people what they can learn from their elders.
D
When you were at school, the last thing you probably wanted to do was
spend your weekends going to work. There was homework to do, sport to play
and fun to have. But our parents probably persuaded us to find a job to earn
some money and get some life experience. When I was a teenager I had a
paper round: delivering newspapers to people's homes. I then progressed to a
Saturday job in a supermarket: stacking shelves and working at the checkout.
Today in the UK you are allowed to work from the age of 13, and many
children do take up part-time jobs. It's one of those things that are seen almost
as a rite of passage(成人仪式).It's a taste of independence and sometimes a
useful thing to put on your CV(简历).Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable
lessons about working with adults and also about managing their money.
Some research has shown that not taking up a Saturday or holiday job
could be deleterious to a person later on. A 2015 study by the UK Commission
on Employment and Skills found that not participating in part-time work at
school age had been blamed by employer's organizations for young adults
being ill-prepared for full-time employment, but despite this, recent statistics
have shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a part-time job
has fallen by a fifth in the past five years.
So, does this mean that British teenagers are now afraid of hard work?
Probably not. Some experts feel that young people feel going out to work will
affect their performance at school, and they are under more pressure now to
study hard and get good exam results-and a good job in the long term.
However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and
College Leaders, told BBC News that "Properly regulated (控制的)part-
time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will
need in their working lives." In reality, it's all about getting the right balance
between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest.
12.How did the author feel about doing part-time jobs on weekends when he
was a teenager?
A.Unwilling. B.Interested.C.Delighted. D.Angry.
13 .Which of the following may NOT be the benefit of school children's
doing part-time jobs?
A.Learning to be independent. B.Gaining some life experience.
C.Being prepared for future jobs.D.Spending what they earn as they like.
14 .What does the underlined word "deleterious" in Paragraph 3 probably
mean?
A.valuable. B.harmful. C.necessary. D.beneficial.
15.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A.Students should spend all their time on studies.
