12.First lady Michelle Obama has some advice for some Tennessee High School graduates:Strike your own path in college and life and work to overcome(克服) difficulties with determination and courage.
The first lady told the 170graduates that she spent too much of her own time in college focusing on academic achievements.While her success in college and law school led to a good job,she said,she ended up leaving to focus on public service.
"My message to all of you today is this:Do not waste a minute living someone else's dream."she said."It takes a lot of real work to discover what brings you joy…and you won't find what you love simply by checking boxes or padding your GPA(夸大成绩)."
She said the school reminded her of her own high school experience in Chicago."My No.1goal was to go to a high school that would push me and challenge me."she said."I wanted to go somewhere that would celebrate achievement,a place where academic success wouldn't make me a target(目标) of laughing at or bullying,but instead would be a badge of honour(荣誉的象征)."But Mrs.Obama said pitifully that not all students have the same opportunities."Unfortunately,schools like this don't exist for every kid,"she said."You are lucky."
The first lady told graduates that failure may be a part of their college lives and careers,and that how they respond to any difficulties will define them."That's when you find out what you're really made of in those hard times."she said."But you only do that if you're willing to put yourself in a position where you might fall."
Overcoming difficulties has been the hallmark(特征) of many great people,she said."There's this guy Barack Obama…he lost his first race for Congress,and now he gets to call himself my husband."The first lady joked:"I could spend a whole afternoon talking about his failures."

56.What's the purpose(目的) of Michelle's visit to Tennessee High School?D
A.To give a speech to the graduates.

分析 本文通过米歇尔.奥巴马在田纳西州学校里演讲告诉我们要想成功,要有自己的人生目标并能够克服困难.

解答 56-58 DCB
56.D 推理题.根据文章第一句First lady Michelle Obama has some advice for some Tennessee High School graduates可知本文主要叙述的是米歇尔.奥巴马给Tennessee High School的学生的建议.故D正确.
57.C 推理题.根据文章第4段最后一句"Unfortunately,schools like this don't exist for every kid,"she said."You are lucky."她说像那样理想的学校不是每个学生都会遇见,但是你们很幸运.也就是说这些学生所在学校是很好的.而这所学校是Tennessee High School.故C正确.
58.B 推理题.根据文章最后一段第一句Overcoming difficulties has been the hallmark(特征) of many great people,she said."There's this guy Barack Obama…克服困难是很多伟人的特征,接下来她就列举了奥巴马的例子.说明她提到奥巴马主要是为了举例说明.故B正确.

点评 这是一篇人物故事类阅读.做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

1.Forgiveness
To forgive is a virtue,but no one has ever said it is easy.When someone has deeply hurt you,it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate.However,forgiveness is possible,and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.People who forgive show less sadness,anger and stress and more hopefulness,according to a recent research.
(51)B Try the following steps:
Calm yourself.(52)F You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure:a beautiful scene in nature,or someone you love.
Don't wait for an apology.Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize.They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way.(53)G Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.
Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者).Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused your pain.Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings,learn to look for the love,beauty and kindness around you.
(54)D If you understand your offender,you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness,fear,and even love.You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.
Don't forget to forgive yourself.(55)E But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don't do it.

A.Why should you forgive?
B.How should you start to forgive?
C.Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.
D.Try to see things from your offender's angle.
E.For some people,forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.
F.To make your anger die away,try a simple stress-management technique.
G.If you wait for people to apologize,you could be waiting an awfully long time.
