Olympic gold medalist Morolake Akinosun walked through the halls of her high school in Illinois in the US, surprised at how little had changed at her old high school other than the green color on the walls.

Akinosun won her medal with the 400-meter relay team at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro this summer. Her return to her high school recently included a chance for the young woman to tell what she’s learned since running track for Wsubonsie more than fours year ago.

Her first piece of advice to the crowd of students was asking them to listen to their parents. “ They see things you can't see,” she said. “ In high school I thought I was on the top of the world.”

In Akinosun’s case, her parents encouraged her to consider going to the University of Illinois, which at the time had a team that was coached by Olympic medal winner Tonja Buford-Bailey. “ I wouldn’t be where I am today without my parents,” she said.

Her parents saw Buford-Bailey as a good fit to coach their daughter, something Akinosun said she didn’t understand at the time. It didn’t take long, however, for her to see they were right and she ended up following Buford-Bailey to the University of Texas at Austin when the coach took a job there. Akinosun admitted it was three years before she told her parents they were right.

Becoming an excellent athlete who can take part in the Olympics needs serious dedication. She says her success came from viewing herself as an athlete-student instead of a student-athlete.

“I always put track and field first, and then comes school,” Akinosun said. A social life comes last.“It’s about sacrifices(牺牲). You can’t be on the track team unless you’re chosen,” she added.

Making athletics the most important thing in her life meant devoting her time and energy fully, no matter how she might feel on a given day. “ I never missed a training session (环节) in my four years in college,” she said. “It’s my job; it’s what I do. Think about that when you want to sleep in.”

1.Which of the following statements is TRUE about Akinosun according to the article?

A. She was a big fan of Buford-Bailey in high school.

B. She make up her mind to win Olympic gold medals in high school.

C. She still doesn’t want to admit that her parents helped her a lot.

D. She is thankful to her parents for finding her the right coach.

2.According to Akinosun, she became a successful athlete because ______.

A. she had great confidence in herself.

B. she always put training before anything else.

C. she was pushed by her coach to train hard.

D. she could keep a good balance between school and training.

3.The underlined word “dedication” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ______.

A. a strong desire B. knowing oneself

C. a clear purpose D. devoting her time and energy fully

4.What’s the best title of the passage?

A. How Akinosun spent her high school years.

B. The story of Akinosun’s success.

C. Being an athlete is not easy.

D. Akinosun’s advice to her schoolmates.

A poem starts with a thought, an idea, or an emotion felt from the heart．Poems can be happy or sad, deep-thinking or even humorous．The choice is up to you and your imagination as to what you will create．

Your first step is to write down the idea or thought that you have and you want to turn into a poem．Next, you should turn the thought into a free verse(自由诗体)poem．Free verse poems are much easier to write as there are no steadfast rules to write them．Some free verse doesn’t even have any rhyme or meter．

Now, rewrite your thoughts into lines．Now is the time to look at your lines and remember that the poem should have a beginning, a middle, and an end, just like a story, a book, or a movie．

Reread your poem several times and listen to the words and to the rhythm of each line．Now is the time to shorten or lengthen each line in order to create a smooth-sounding poem．Even though it is a free verse poem, you can choose to make each line rhyme with the next line if you want to．

Now go back and reread your poem again. Check for proper punctuation(标点)as well as for the proper spelling of each word. Think up a suitable title for your poem. It would be a good idea to set your poem aside for a while and then return to it later．

Then, reread it again with a fresh mind and make some necessary changes．

If you decided to continue writing poetry, it would be a good idea to investigate(研究) some books about creating poetry, and to attend some local workshops. Check out the available resources on the Internet as well as what is available at your local public library.

Nowadays, the destruction of forests is one of most serious environment problems. From that I understand, people are destroying thousands of square kilometers of trees every day. This is killing hundreds of wild animals live in the forests. But something must be done. Unfortunately, we don’t do everything to protect the forests.

People who cut down trees should go to prison. That’s what happens in some country to people who sell plastic bags. That’s what should happened to people who destroy the forests. I can’t help but to think that we must protect wildlife for future generations. Hopeful, our children will be even much responsible than we are today.

Are billionaires good with exams as well as their money? Or are they more likely to have escaped school at the first opportunity and worked their way up to make their fortunes?

A study of the educational background of some of the world’s wealthiest people shows that they are much more likely to have gone to university, and they are more likely to have a postgraduate degree(硕士或博士研究生学位) than no degree at all.

It doesn’t give much support for the image of self-taught entrepreneurs (企业家), who rely on their own wisdom rather than higher education.

The study, by insurance company GoCompare, examined the educational background of people appearing in the top 1 00 billionaire lists by Forbes magazine over the past 20 years.

It shows that 76 percent of these billionaires have a degree. Forty-seven percent of them have a bachelor’s (学士) degree, 23 percent a master’s (文/理科硕士) degree and 6 percent a doctorate(博士学位). The most popular subjects were the ones related to economics and engineering. There were many more studying sciences than arts.

The school attended by the global super rich are also much more likely to be world-class universities, rather than local ones. Harvard University is the single most likely name to be found on the resume(履历) of a billionaire, though one of the most famous names on the rich list, Bill Gates, dropped out of Harvard before finishing.

Stanford University in California and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have become the launchpads for a rising number of tech billionaires. Google’s co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin were both postgraduates at Stanford. Borthers Charles and David Koch, who are among the world’s biggest oil tycoons, both got their bachelor’s and master’s degrees from MIT.

Among U.K. universities, the London School of Economics and Political Science and the University of Cambridge have the most multi-billionaires on the Forbes list, while Oxford has produced Rupert Murdoch.

1.The study has found all of the following EXCEPT .

A. most billionaires are not self-taught geniuses

B. billionaires are much more likely to have received higher education

C. nearly half of those on Forbes’ top 100 billionaire lists have a bachelor’s degree

D. there are more billionaires without degree at all than those with a master’s degree

2.Of the following subjects, what is the most likely to have been a college major of a billionaire?

A. Computer science. B. Art history.

C. English literature. D. Law.

3.What does the underlined word “launchpads” in Paragraph 7 mean?

A. Favorite places of famous people.

B. Effective starting points for a career.

C. Places on the Internet that help you find information.

D. Places where rockets and other spacecraft are sent into space.

4.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?

A. The study was carried out by Forbes magazine.
