Dream is a common word in our daily life. As we all know, people like to use it to express the strong desires they have for our future. Some young people dreamed of becoming scientists when others wish to become astronauts.

In my opinion, what matter most is that we should be responsible our society and its citizens. I want to be independent and have a strongly sense of responsibility. And also I want to be helpful to those in the trouble. Beside, I will learn modestly from those devoted themselves to our society. I do hope all of us can make every efforts to live our dreams.

2 . You will experience a lot of changes through your teenage years. The changes may seem difficult. They may seem to happen quickly. Don’t panic!     1     You are a young adult now!

In this way you can make healthy balanced decisions.     2     You may already know your career path or you may have no idea at all what you want to do. Both situations are fine!

5 . Just a few years out of law school, I decided that I wanted to write fictions. The only thing I had ever published before was a law-review article. I had made great efforts to write when I came home at night after work, but I was too tired. I decided to quit my job.

I began my new life on a February morning. I sat down at my kitchen table at 7:30 am and made a resolution. Every day I would write until lunchtime. Then I would lie down on the floor for 20 minutes to rest my mind. After that, I would return to work for a few more hours.

In my first year, I sold two stories. Then I wrote a novel, but I thought it wasn’t good enough, so I ended up putting it in a drawer. My second novel, Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, was published to glowing reviews and received the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction.

My success sounds like a familiar story, but actually it was far from sudden. I quit my job, and for every story I published in those years, I had at least 30 rejections. The novel that I put away in the drawer took my four years. My breakthrough came in 2006, 18 years after I first sat down to write at my kitchen table.

Sometimes genius (天才) is just the thing that comes out after 20 years of working at your kitchen. Also, doing something truly creative requires the energy of youth. Orson Welles made his masterpiece, Citizen Kan, at 25. T. S. Eliot wrote The Love Song of J. Afred Prufrock at 23.

1. When did the author decide to devote himself to writing fictions?

A．When he was tired from his work.

B．Straight after graduation from law school.

C．On being informed his law-review article came out.

D．When his hobby was disturbed by his work.

2. We can infer from the second paragraph that the author       .

A．led a wealthy life

B．arranged his life reasonably

C．was too diligent to relax himself

D．remained single

3. What does the author mainly intend to tell us in this passage?

A．Failure is the mother of success.

B．A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

C．It is never too old to learn.

D．It is the first step that costs troublesome.

4. Why did the author give the example of Orson Welles and T. S. Eliot?

A．To make a comparison between them and himself.

B．To show creativity needs energy and efforts.

C．To persuade the readers of their great talents.

D．To recommend their two masterpieces.

6 . A couple of weeks ago, when we were leaving one of those horrible giant trampoline bouncy(弹跳床)places, my 11－year－old daughter said to me, “I don't think I'm very athletic, you know, like Rocket (her brother). He seems to be really good at ______.”

What came out my mouth ______ me: “No, you're kind of not.”

Okay, let me ______. As you may have guessed, this child has been with me for about 11 years, so I've had enough time to ______ her engaging in physical acts: jumping, climbing, running, and organized sports.

And the kid is just ______ me: two left feet. If anybody was ever NOT a “natural”______， that person is me.

But even ______ these facts, my first instinct(本能反应)was to show her with some ______： “Oh, no honey. You're good at sports! You just have to keep ______！” But I decided to tell her the ______， and I could see it hurt a bit.

So I said more: “Ava, we all have things we are particularly, ______ good at. Like you and ______. You're in the 5th grade and read Charles Dickens. That isn't ______， but you've done it without even trying. But all of us also have things that we are ______ in. If we wan to get good at those things, we have to put in twice the ______ of the people around us to get to a decent(相当的)point and even harder if we want to ______.”

She was nodding. She totally ______ it. Why? Because it's the truth. Sometimes I wonder why we run around talking nonsense(胡扯)to our kids when they can ______ the truth. And they can smell rubbish from a mile away. In other words, they can easily recognize you are ______. In addition, if they don't know where they ______ now, they'll never know how to get somewhere new.

7 . Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day, and, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the community. If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, else-there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased (停止). When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man.

What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible. The words were few, but they became memorably impressed on my mind. “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread.”

To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections (memories). In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.

1. Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph?

A．Wealth results from honest effort.

B．The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life.

C．For some people, no way can be found to escape the realities of life other than scotch and soda.

D．The men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees.

2. The underlined sentence “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread” means ________.

A．Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your face

B．No pains, no gains

C．Failure is the mother of success

D．Bread comes from the sweat on your face

3. We learn from the passage that the author ________.

A．was a wealthy person in the community

B．held a positive attitude towards an active life

C．was fond of associating with celebrities (名人)

D．kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed

4. What is implied in the passage by the writer?

A．To use wealth properly, cat, drink and be merry.

B．Where there is a will, there is a way.

C．As life is but like a dream, a man is like a fruit tree.

D．If you cease to struggle, you cease to live.

8 . When Boris left school, he could not find a job. He tried hard and he wrote letters to many companies until he could not afford to buy any more stamps. Boris began to lose his confidence, then depressed. Still he went on trying and still he failed. He began to think that he had no future at all.

“Why don’t you start your own business?” one of his uncles told him. “The world is a money-locker. You’d better find a way of opening it.”

“But what can I do?”

“Get out and have a look round.” advised his uncle. “See what people want; then give it to them, and they will pay for it.”

9 . Once upon a time, there was a poor fisherman who always dreamed of becoming rich. He wished to become a millionaire, and     1     did his wife.
