    One of the big challenges that students face in applying to universities abroad is writing the application essay．

    The essay topics all have something in common．They attempt to get at what type of person you are, what motivates you，and what you feel passion for．In a single 500-word piece of writing，

admissions officers（招生负责人）attempt to gather all about you．So your task is of your personality on the essay and make yourself special．

You can try and guess what the admissions officers like．But that won’t work．The essay will sound empty and become another dull piece of writing，which admissions officers get thousands each year．

    It is true that admissions officers aren’t exactly looking for anything．The answer is just as open-ended as the question itself．If they ask for someone who has inspired you, it could be anyone．It could be a grandmother, a teacher, or even a character from a movie．A lot of people will say their dad．But since you really feel it, you’ll have a lot to write about．

    There are some important things to remember．These admissions officers want good writers．You don't have to be Ernest Hemingway, but you have to be able to form an interesting story．That means revision（校对）and editing，cutting out stupid grammar mistakes，reading it over several times，leaving it for a few days and looking at it again．Whatever you do, make sure the essay is as good as possible．

    Also，you should use exciting language and really make the reader feel the same passion as you do．It also means finding something unique about your point of view, something that other people might not think of．For example，if you want to write about your dad, you can focus on a specific anecdote（趣闻）about him ．Admissions officers love personal stories that ring true．

The purpose of the passage is to give advice on how to_________．

       A．choose an essay topic          B．read the officers’ minds

       C．be a good writer             D write an effective application

The underlined part of paragraph 2 suggests that you__________．

       A．stick enough stamps before posting your application essay

       B．write something unique in an essay to impress the readers   

       C．take the task of showing off yourself seriously  

       D．pay attention to your personal essay

When admissions officers ask who has inspired you，they mean to________．

       A．know about your family members      B．understand you better

       C．find out what your father does           D．discover your personal affairs

According to the writer, it is wise to produce an essay with__________．

A．500 beautiful words  B．many funny things  C．truthful specific stories  D．indirect answers

This is the age of being busy. Many of us live in busy places and have busy lives. Even the roads are busy as we try to get from here to there. Adults are busy going to jobs and taking care of their families. Kids are busy, too, going to school and doing a lot of homework after school and on weekends.

  Busy isn’t bad, necessarily. If you are not busy enough you might be bored. But if you are too busy, you might break down. For example, if you have a soccer game that runs late on a school night and you haven’t eaten dinner or done your homework, that’s a not-so-fun kind of busy. We wanted to know what kids thought, so we did a kidsPoll about being busy with 882girls and boys aged 9 to 13.

   Almost all of them said they felt stressed because they were too busy. About half said they felt this way once in a while or some of the time. But 17% said they felt this way most of the time and 24% said they felt this all the time! Oh dear, that’s no fun.

  Only 4% of kids said they wanted less free time and 18% said they already had just the right amount. But, no big surprise, 61% of kids wish they had a lot more free time. If they had more time, most would spend it hanging out or playing with friends.

 Often, adults plan large parts of a kid ’s day, especially during the school year. kids can’t tell their parents they’ll be skipping school(逃学) today to get more free time! But they can tell their parents they’d like to play a game or read a book during their free time instead of watching TV.

The purpose of the first paragraph is to _____.

A. Introduce the topic

B. Support the main idea

C. Raise the topic sentence

D. Attract the readers’ attention

According to the passage, the KidsPoll is done to carry out research on _____.

A. How kids arrange their free time

B. What kids think of being busy

C. How many kids felt stressed

From the passage, we can infer that the writer agrees kids can_____.

A. Spend their free time hanging or playing out

B. Get a lot more free time from their parents

C. Have a right amount of free time with permission

D. Get more free time from school work sometimes
