While I studied at school, I felt great difficulty in learning my Latin translations. I was always very 　36　in using a dictionary, and 　37　it most difficult, while to other boys it seemed no 　38　.

　　I formed an alliance(盟友) with a boy in the Sixth Grade. He was very clever and 　39　read Latin as easily as English. My friend for his part was almost as 　40　troubled by the English essays he had to write for the headmaster as I was 　41　these Latin words. We agreed together that he should 　42　me my Latin translations and that I should do his essays. The arrangement 　43　wonderfully. The headmaster seemed quite 　44　with my work, and I had more time to myself in the morning. On the other hand, once a week 　45　I had to compose the essays of my friend. For several months no difficulty 　46　, but once we were nearly caught out.

　　One afternoon, the headmaster 　47　my friend to discuss one essay with him in a lively spirit. “I was interested in this 　48　you make here. I think you might have gone further. Tell me 　49　you had in your mind.” The headmaster continued in this 　50　for some time to fear of my friend. However, the headmaster, not wishing to 　51　an occasion of praise into 　52　of fault-finding, finally 　53　him go. He came back to me like a man who had had a very narrow 　54　and I made up my mind to make every effort to study my 　55　.

When other nine-year-old kids were playing games, she was working at a petrol station. When other teens were studying or going out, she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street. But she overcame these terrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholarship（奖学金）and gain entry to Harvard University. And her amazing story has inspired a movie, “Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story”, shown in late April.

　Liz Murray, a 22-year-old American girl, has been writing a real-life story of willpower and determination. Liz grew up in the shadow of two drug-addicted（吸毒）parents. There was never enough food or warm clothes in the house. Liz was the only member of the family who had a job. Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just 15 years old. The effect of that loss became a turning point in her life. Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died, she decided to do something about it.

　Liz went back to school. She threw herself into her studies, never telling her teachers that she was homeless. At night, she lived on the streets.“What drove me to live on had something to do with understanding, by understanding that there was a whole other way of being. I had only experienced a small part of the society,”she wrote in her book Breaking Night.

　She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on. She used the benefits that come easily to others, such as a safe living environment, to encourage herself that “next to nothing could hold me down”. She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University. But Liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father, who has also developed AIDS. “I love my parents so much. They are drug addicts. But I never forget that they love me all the time.”

　　Liz wants moviegoers to come away with the idea that changing your life is “as simple as making a decision”.

1.In which order did the following things happen to Liz?

　　a. Her mother died of AIDS.   　b. She worked at a petrol station.

　　c. She got admitted into Harvard.　d. The movie about her life was put on.

　　e. She had trouble finding a place to sleep.

2.The main idea of the passage is ________.

3.What actually made her go towards her goal?

4.When she wrote “What drove me to live on...I had only experienced a small part of the society”, she meant that ________.
