The other day, as I walked to school, I passed small construction area. It was not far away in my school. I notice a man bringing a bunch of things: shoes, blankets, some canned food, and clothing. Perhaps the items were gathered from his family and some of his friend. He started laying it down for people to take. Certainly, I was curious about what things would be going. But I rushed there after school. I saw that much of the items were taken by others. I have read lots of inspired stories of kindness. This is probably the sweetest act of kindness I’ve been witnessed so far.

In the fall of 1985. I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.

My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college an the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.

Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.

You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 18. Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant talking as few as one class each semester.

The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, But I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.

In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！

I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember；little steps add up to big dreams.

1.When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be ( )

A. a writer B. a teacher C. a judge D. a doctor

2.Why did the author quit school in her second year of college? ( )

A. She wanted to study by herself.

B. She fell in love and got married.

C. She suffered from a serious illness.

D. She decided to look after her grandma.

3.Which of the following can best describe the author ? ( )

A. Caring and determined.

B. Honest and responsible.

C. Ambitious and sensitive.

D. Innocent and single-minded.

For the last 10 years, job listing site CareerBuilder has put out a list called “The Most Unbelievable Excuses for Calling in Sick.” For example, an employee said he couldn’t come in because his false teeth flew out the window while he was driving down the highway. The excuses were gathered through a survey that ran among 3,000 workers and 2,000 hiring managers.

The list is entertaining but there is a more serious issue hidden in this story. Federal law does not require private employers to give any paid sick leave, making the US the only one of the world’s wealthiest nations that doesn’t guarantee workers this right. Since 2006, cities and states have been adopting their own paid sick leave laws. California, Washington. DC and 13 cities including New York now require many employers to provide some sort of paid sick leave. But according to the Institute for Women’s Policy Research, 39% of private employees still have no access to paid days off. In the CareerBuilder survey, 38% of respondents said they go to work when they’re sick because they can’t afford to miss a day’s pay. The survey also shows that workers are taking a risk when they come up with far-fetched excuses. Nearly one in five employers says they have fired an employee for calling in sick with a fake excuse. If you’re spending the day at the beach while pretending to be ill, don’t post about it on Facebook. Nearly one in four employers (24%) has caught an employee lying about being sick by checking social media.

The motto of this story: If you really are sick, don’t come to work and spread your bacteria around the office. But if you just want to stay home, go with “I’m running a fever.” rather than one of these ridiculous excuses.

1.The underlined word “far-fetched” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.

A. impossible to find B. likely to be true

C. difficult to believe D. easy to believe

2.What problem is exposed in the survey?

A. Many employees have no access to paid sick leave.

B. Private employers make their workers work extra hours.

C. Some employees are not satisfied with their boss.

D. Private employers sometimes break the Federal law.

3.An employee will run the risk of being fired if he ______.

A. asks for sick leave

B. lies about being sick

C. posts his holiday on Facebook

D. spreads bacteria around the office

4.What will the author present following the last paragraph?

A. A list of survey data.

B. A list of serious issues.

C. A list of reasonable facts.

D. A list of ridiculous excuses.

Years of expecting this time has finally arrived; there were times when I thought we would never get here. We are having three graduations in one family. My daughter is graduating from 4-year College in nursing, and my son is graduating from a high school, and I also just graduated last week. The dream was planted many years ago. I had always dreamt of going back to school, but it was too worrying and too hard.

Three years ago, I lost one of my dear friends. She died suddenly someday. All those thoughts of “someday” seemed to take on different meanings. So, I decided to take a course, then I took two. I finally took 4 courses. When I was in the second week of school, my family was in a terrible car accident. My husband, my two children and I were on our way to visit my another daughter at work in another city for her twenty-third birthday, and we were hit by a truck a half mile from our house. My husband was seriously hurt, and I was told by doctors many times it was a miracle(奇迹) that he had survived a serious head injury.

The three of us were barely passing after that time period. I had a broken arm and could not write. However, none of us had cold feet. As one of the top ten students in the college, my daughter graduated from college and got her Bachelor’s Degree. My son was admitted to a famous university after his graduation. I am proud of them.

As my password, I called myself “mountain climber.” The journey was difficult and every hill seemed higher to climb. Last week, the highlight of my life was walking across that platform and getting my degree six months before I turn fifty. I am proud of myself, too.
