一、阅读理解
A
Growing pains and gains
It’s not easy to grow up. Actually it’s far from easy. Growing up can be a real “pain” for some of us. We are always doing things that someone else makes us do and aren’t allowed to do all the things we like. Sometimes we feel trapped, sometimes we are fearful, and sometimes we just don’t understand why we can’t stay young forever. When we look back on all the hardships in life with a positive attitude（态度）, we realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains!
As a young girl my parents forced my sisters and me to do so many things that I never liked. They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time I hated music ’ just because it was what they wanted me to do. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched my life in so many ways. I realize that my parents and teachers were always pushing me along, not because they wanted me to suffer but because they wanted me to succeed in life. They’ve always wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves.
Every moment of our lives we are either living or dying, so live life to its fullest! We are all going to experience growing pains, but they are just small pains in life. They might seem so huge at the time but we must be strong. Think about how we would feel if we had no fear and live life like that. The future is ours! A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone! If we realize that these pains are just small bumps（凸块）on our road to success we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains!
1. According to Paragraph 1, we learn that when we are young, __________.
A. life is full of joy
B. life is easy for us
C. we know we can stay young forever
D. we sometimes can’t do things we like
2. When the author was young, she was forced by her parents to __________.
A. take music lessons
B. turn gains into pains
C. look back on hardships
D. live a successful life by suffering a lot
3. What does the underlined phrase “to its fullest” mean
A. Directly. B. Completely.
C. Carefully. D. Terribly.
4. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Growing pains are necessary for us to grow up.
B. We all have to experience growing pains.
C. A little hard work and sweat are harmful to us.
D. Life without fear is a better choice for us.
B
As children we are well-trained to find the right answer. We are rewarded for A’s, the honour roll and acing the test. Our education trains us to follow the rules and deliver the expected answers. When we do, awards and congratulations follow. Yet when we grow up, it gets a little harder. Life and careers don’t have tests with an A if we get the “right” answer.
I recently had coffee with a college student who will graduate. She is struggling with what she wants for her career. She wants her parents to be proud of her and to continue the success she has had in school. She also talked about other students in her graduating class who are set to do “some big things”, like working for impressive companies. Yet she wasn’t sure of the right answer for using her degree. She said that deep down she was hoping that someone might give her the answer.
We both agreed that it comes down to not looking for the right answer but her answer. The grown-up definition of the “right answer” is different from that in school. What would you do if you weren’t afraid It takes time to know these answers. And they can change over time and at any point in your career. My encouragement is to get valued advice and input, of course, but finally to look within yourself for the answers. It helps to come back to：
What do I want to be known for What is my definition of success What am I best at
If I had no fears, what would I do
What is one step I can take today to move me towards my goal （even if it’s not perfectly clear）
I find these types of questions are more helpful in getting to our unique answer rather than “right answer” questions, such as: What will my parents want What degree or job will mark me as accomplished to the world What is my best option based on where I work today
1. What does the author mean to say in the first paragraph
A. Life is harder for adults than children.
B. Academic excellence is not necessary.
C. It is not helpful to follow the rules in school.
D. Rules in life are different from those in school.
2. What is wrong with the college student
A. She does badly in her studies.
B. Her parents are not proud of her.
C. She feels puzzled about her life career.
D. She is not sure whether to do “some big things”.
3. When looking for the answer in life, you need to __________.
A. trust your parents
B. listen to your heart
C. follow valued advice
D. learn from your classmates
4. Which of the following questions might not help you to seek your answer
A. What do I love to do
B. What matters most to me in life
C. What will make me look successful
D. What will I regret not doing when I'm 80
