As an engineering student, I had a degree and three good job offers. I couldn’t help trembling when I heard about studies which showed that women are at a (n) 1 when it comes to math. However, I discovered: just because a subject is 2 to learn, it does not show you are not good at it. You just have to grit your teeth and work harder to get good at it. 3 you do, there’s a (an) 4 chance you will enjoy it more than anything else.
In eighth grade I took algebra (代数). On one test I got only 1 percent of the 5 answers. I failed the next one, too. I started to 6 maybe I’m just not good at this. I was lucky enough to have a teacher who didn’t take my bad grades as a judgment of my 7 , but 8 as an indication that I should study more. He 9 me aside and told me he knew I could do better. Success grows out of struggles to overcome difficulties. I 10 the following tests, and pulled my grade up to an A.
I studied a lot in college, too. I had moments of fear while sitting below the fluorescent lights in the 11 library on Saturday afternoons, when I 12 that the estrogen (雌性激素) in my body was 13 me from understanding thermodynamics (热动力学).

Here’s a secret: math and science don’t go 18 to most people. No one was 19 born knowing calculus (微积分). But as a famous saying goes: Y nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it.

阅读下列短文, 从所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳答案。
How much rain has fallen on the earth in the past? Man has not always kept weather records. Because scientists need a way to learn about past rainfall, they study tree rings.
A tree's trunk grows bigger each year. Beneath its bark (树皮), a tree adds a layer of new wood each year it lives. If you look at a tree stump (桩), you can see the layers. They are called annual rings (年轮).
On some trees all of the rings are the same width. But the ponderosa pines that grow in the American southwest have rings of different width. The soil in the southwest is dry. The pines depend on rainfall for water. In a year of good rainfall, they form wide rings. In a dry year, they form narrow ones.
Scientists do not have to cut down a pine to know its rings. With a special tool, they can remove a narrow piece of wood from the trunk without harming the tree. Then they look at the width of each ring to see how much rain fell in the year it formed.
Some pines are hundreds of years old and have hundreds of rings. These rings form an annual record of past rainfall in the southwest.
1. The passage mainly tells us about ___________.
[ ]
A. why tree trunks grow bigger
B. how trees grow
C. why and how scientists study tree rings
D. how tree rings are formed
2. From the passage we can see that ___________.
[ ]
A. a tree grows faster when it has a lot of water
B. scientists cut down trees to study tree rings
C. pine trees form wide rings every year
D. the ponderosa pine only grows in the American southwest
3. A new layer of wood grows in a tree ____________.
[ ]
A. each week
B. whenever it rains
C. every year
D. every season
4. Why does a ponderosa pine in the American southwest have rings
of different width? ____________
[ ]
A. Because rainfall differs from year to year.
B. The bigger a pine grows, the wider rings it forms.
C. Scientists control its growth.
D. It grows in the dry soil.
5. Which of the following is true?
[ ]
A. The trunk of a tree never changes in size.
B. Young trees have fewer annual rings.
C. The soil in the southwest is fit for the growth of trees.
D. It is with a special tool that scientists cut down a tree &
查看习题详情和答案>>As we all know, great culture differences lie between China and the west. As a result, they have their own different diet habits.
●The way of paying the bill is different
Chinese like to invite people to dinner and the inviters pay the bill. In England and America, if classmates or friends have a meal together, they usually share the cost. If a man has a meal with a woman, he usually pays the bill. When people hold a birthday dinner party for their friend ,they usually share the cost.

Chinese seldom send the host gifts, but if the host has a certain kind of great event such as a marriage or a funeral, the guests should give the host some dear gifts. In England and America, when people are invited to have a meal by a newly-made friend, they usually give the host some flowers or a bottle of wine or a box of chocolates.
