Let Moments Inspire You

When I was a teenager I volunteered to work at the water station at a 10,000m race. My job was to hand out water to the runners. I remember being so excited to see all the different kinds of people who passed by and grabbed a cup of water. I saw so many types of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it too! So the next year I signed up for the race.

That first 10,000m race was quite an experience. At times, I didn’t know if I could finish. Then came a defining moment. At one point near the end, a 70-year-old ran past me, very fast and I felt embarrassed that I was 50 years younger than he and I couldn’t even keep up with him. I felt defeated for a second. But then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. He had different abilities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had mine. Remember my goal was only to finish. After a minute, it hit me that this was a lesson I could draw from. I learned something about myself in that moment. I turned my embarrassment into inspiration. I decided that I would not give up on running races. In fact, I would run even more races and I would learn how to train and prepare properly and one day I would be one of those 70-year-olds who was still running. As I crossed the finish line, I was proud of my accomplishment.

In life we all have those moments when we compare ourselves to others. It’s natural. Don’t allow those moments to weaken you. Turn them into motivation and let them inspire you. Use them to show you what is possible. With a proper preparation and training, you can improve your results to achieve anything you want in life.

6．Yo-Yo Ma is one of the most gifted cellists （大提琴手） in the world today．He is known internationally for not only the many classical pieces he performs but also his willingness to think outside of the box musically．
Yo-Yo Ma has recorded over 75albums； many of them strictly considered classical in arrangement，while others differ greatly from classical music．He's worked with musicians like Bobby Mcferrin and Sting，and explored musical forms that range from traditional Chinese music to bluegrass．His musical explorations，including the scoring or performance in numerous films，have won Ma many awards and honors．
Born to Chinese immigrant parents in Paris in 1955，Yo-Yo Ma was already a gifted musician by the time his family moved to the U．S．，when he was seven．One of his first performances where he was much noted was a 1962performance for U．S．President John F．Kennedy．Ma was certainly a genius，appearing on television by the time he was eight and performing with numerous orchestras through his teens．
Like many young extraordinary musicians，Yo-Yo Ma's educational path included the study at the distinguished Juilliard School of Music．Unlike geniuses that stay on a singular path，Ma felt that he wanted to expand his education by taking a traditional liberal arts course at first Columbia and then Harvard University，where he received his bachelor's degree in 1976．He wasn't always certain that he should continue to pursue his career as a cellist，and refers to hearing the work of Pablo Casals，the famous Spanish cellist，as inspiration to continue his studies and performance．
By the early 1980s，Yo-Yo Ma had become internationally known．He also began to express considerable interest in the possibilities of musical education for children．To that end，he made appearances on Sesame Street and other shows targeted at children．
In 1998，Ma started the Silk Road Project，which promotes cooperation among artists，including musicians from around the world．His devotion to bringing together the various cultures represented by the ancient Silk Road is expressed in Ma's political attitude of peace through music．In 2006，the UN Secretary General Kofi Anan named Ma a Peace Ambassador．

66．Which of the following statements is TRUE about Yo-Yo Ma？A．
A．He has explored a wide range of musical forms．
B．He wasn't well-known in the U．S．until the 1980s．
C．He is famous only for the classical pieces he performs．
D．He was determined to become a cellist since childhood．
67．Whose work has had an influence on Ma in deciding to pursue a career as a cellist？C．
A．Bobby McFerrin's．  B．Kofi Anan's．  C．Pablo Casals'．  D．Sting's．

C．University Education：Key Factor to Yo-Yo Ma's Success

16．IT is safe to say that George Bernard Shaw （1856-1950），the Irish-born writer，is more famous for being George Bernard Shaw than he is for his writings today．Few of Shaw's more than 60 plays，novels and essays are performed or read anymore．And yet Shaw genuinely helped make our modern world．Although you'd be lucky to get a chance to see one of his dramas today，in his time he turned the theater into a vehicle for the discussion of social issues，not only in Britain but on the stage of the world．In a way Shaw was someone who created the modern culture of Britain．
Where the theater had been dominated by entertainment，Shaw used it to teach people the importance of paying attention to the issues of their day．The plight （苦难） of the poor and the working class，the situation of women and the institutions of society，such as the education system----Shaw was among the most well-known figures making these topics central to public debate．His first play，Widowers'Houses （1892），deals with the question of slum （贫民窟） housing．His Mrs Warren's Profession （1893）brought a controversial topic to the stage．
Shaw was an important mover and shaker in new political movements too．He was an early member of the Fabian Society，which argued for the socialist cause in the UK．Shaw was also the founder （in 1895）of one of the now most famous colleges in the world，the London School of Economics．
If few of his works have really stood the test of time，many of his quotations have become part of the furniture of the English language．"Youth is wasted on the young，"he wrote．He also knew how to sum up a political philosophy（哲学） in a few memorable words．For instance："A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul．"

63．Shaw's influence on the modern world comes mainly fromA．
A．the changes he brought to the British culture
B．his philosophies on the role of government
C．his awareness of social problems of his day
D．the support for the London School of Economics
64．Widowers'Houses is a play that mainly focuses onB．
A．the failure of the UK education system
B．the housing problems of poor people
C．robbery incidents in slum areas
D．socialist movements in the UK
65．By describing Shaw's quotations as"part of the furniture of the English language"，the author means that Shaw's wordsD．
A．have become the best part of English
B．have greatly developed the English language
C．have made the English language philosophical
D．have become an inseparable part of the English language
66．Which of the following about George Bernard Shaw's works is TRUE？C

  Over time，the high cost of living became a little burden on my already （28）exhausted （exhaust） shoulders．On the other hand，my search for a respectable job had not met with much success．As I had studied literature at university，I found it quite difficult to secure a suitable job in big companies．Mother had said that （29）if I wanted to have a better career advancement，I had to find work in the city．Perhaps，（30）What my mother had told me was deeply rooted in my mind．I just did as she had expected．
  Soon I had lived in the city for over six months but I still did not like it．Apparently，I had difficulty （31）adapting （adapt） myself to life in the city，let alone finding a job to my delight．After nine months of frustration．I eventually decided to go back to my small town．Not until I returned （32）did I realise that a quiet town life was the best for me．
