题目内容
Like a backward tape, time returns to my mom's teens.She is waiting for admission results from a famous high school.She has studied for the test but with joy, since she feels no suffering in learning.Suddenly I spy her jumping and laughing, waving a paper in her hand while her family stands nearby, more shocked than happy.No one else from their village has ever passed the test.
??? Later, at her new high school, I proudly watch as she continues to rise to the top.Many of her essays are published in newspapers, and her classmates seek her advice when a test is approaching. She never refuses them, and I feel honored to be related to such an intelligent person.
??? As I walk with her through her journey, I finally come to the point I have been looking forward to most: her life in America. After passing several tests and finding a kind boss to sponsor her, she becomes a college student at University of California, Los Angeles. At first, I sense her loneliness and panic as she tries to adapt to her new surroundings.Though her English is broken and she knows little about American culture, I can tell she is more than grateful to be here. Here she has access to electricity and running water, and most importantly, better schools. At UCLA, she has so many opportunities to grow and advance in her field.
??? Her journey to America was for just one reason: education.Though having an education will better her life, I know she doesn't do it for herself.My mom wants her children to have an easier life that will not require hard labor.I see what my mom goes through, and I'm filled with gratitude that she has made the brave choice to move here.

阅读下列应用文及相关信息,并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。
首先,请阅读下列为读者来信所写的建议:
A. It seems your friend works extremely hard but doesn't always achieve what she wants.I think she needs to ease the pressure on herself a bit and have some fun.How about suggesting that you both go for a picnic together? Have an outing together so that she is away from her studies.She may open out a bit then. |
B. Discuss this with your parents before you decide anything;they've invested time and money in giving you the best education,and they might want you to continue.Discuss the choices with your school and university,and they might be able to help you out.I assume you will have a few months before you start university.Maybe you can take that time to work and help your parents, and maybe keep a part time job while you attend university. |
C. It is time to confront your mother.It is not her future to decide,but it is yours.If it is a money issue,then you can wait a little longer.If not,then just confront her.Do not be afraid.My suggestion to you is,“Never give up your dream”,aim for what you want,and don't let a simple “no” stop you from what you love. |
D. Confidence comes from within.This often leads to your becoming more confident naturally.Make a plan in your head,try and smile at one complete stranger every day.Build up to making small talk to one person a day if you can.Once you realize that you can do it,then it will only get easier. Join out-of-school activities that you are interested in and you may find lots of people in the same situation as yourself. I wish you luck! |
E. Is it so important to get your exams? Could you find something that really suits you with an understanding company or employer that will help you gain experience and work up the ladder from a practical point of view rather than an academic result.I sometimes think that work experience is more important.You may have to come a bit closer to home and start from there to avoid the upset and ignorance of ot hers.Hope this helps. |
F. You need to believe in your own powers.I guess one way you can learn to do that is to set challenges for yourself,and then work to meet them,one by one.Gradually,you won't be able to deny to yourself that you can get things done.And that will improve your confidence,and will also help you see what you can't do.Start small,and never give in.You should see results in some time.I wish you the best. |

1.I have had learning difficulties all my life and life is impossible.I fail at everything I do and I'm left behind,like years behind.For people with no learning difficulties,life is always easier but that's not me.What people with learning difficulties are left by years while those don't move up the ladder quicker? The people like me are just left labeled a stupid guy,life passes by for me and people without learning difficulties go ahead without failing exams and life is great for them.People like me have to wait another year to repeated exams or maybe two while peers go on.
2.I'm from Europe and it's been a long time that I'm thinking of spending 6 months in the USA.in a High School.It's my dream.I asked my mom but she doesn't want me to go there.She didn't say why!

3.I have a friend.We studied at the same school.Before she did the Entrance Examination,she had hoped to study in the department of Dentistry(牙医).She concentrated on her books.She read the books and did the exercise too much.After we did the Entrance Examination,she told me her scores were not enough.It meant she couldn't study in the department that she had hoped.I still encourage her.She told me she was all right,but I think she was sad.I want to help her feel better.What should I do?
4.I have serious confidence issues,and today I went to my first day of a new school.Unfortunately I have been at the same school previously my whole life.Yeah I have mates outside of school and that,but that one day has just changed everything about how I feel.I thought in my previous school I could make a difference in the world,but now I'm just lost,confused and I know no one.I'm not very sociable either,and just not comfortable with the environment.How can I be more sociable? Confident? Everything? HELP!!
5.I am writing to you to seek advice.My name is Nawel.I'll sit for my BAC exam soon.I'll certainly succeed,but my parents are old and are in need of financial help. I'd really like to help them.However,if I do,I'll have to give up my dream of becoming a doctor.On one hand, if I decided to help,I'll have to give up my registration at University.On the other hand,if I don't,I'll feel guilty of not helping my family.I have no one to turn to.What should I do?
