三、阅读理解
I must have looked deep in thought, or as deep in thought as an 11-year-old man can, when my grandmother glanced up from her weeding to ask, "You have something on your mind, don't you "
"Yes, I was thinking that someday I want to be an Olympic speed skating champion like my hero, Eric Heiden. I want to be a doctor like my parents and I want to help children in Africa. "
I immediately knew I had the right person when a knowing smile flashed across her face. "Johann, of course! You can do anything you want to do!" she said simply. And with my grandmother's support, I set out to pursue my passions.
14 years later, I was well ready to take hold of my first dream: becoming an Olympic champion. The Olympics in 1994 were in my home country, Norway. As I entered the Olympic stadium, I wasn't the best athlete, and many had doubts about my ability to perform well. But I had something special working for me. I had a woman in the first row who believed in me following my passions just as much as I did. For the first time ever, my grandmother was going to see me skate.
It happened. Breaking a world record, I won the gold.
As I stood on the podium(领奖台) that I had dreamed
about my entire life, a curious question popped into my head. Why me Why did I win, given all the other incredible competitors out there The reason had to be more than a grandmother who shared a belief in her grandson's dream. The question led me to only one answer: because I wanted to make a difference in the world, and with all the media attention on my success, I could.
I immediately knew what that difference had to be: hope in the lives of the children in Africa. Six months earlier, I'd been invited to Eritrea as an ambassador for Olympic Aid.
四、七选五
Investing in yourself
Figuring out how to invest your money can be a difficult task. This is something that you will want to learn how to do.
①________ Things that will improve your knowledge, skills or health are all great investments. However, before you start, you need to be clear about what you will gain from doing all of these things.
You may think investing in yourself means investing in your education. ②________ There are some other things you can do as well as buying a gym membership card or learning a new skill.
So what are some specific things you can do ③________ Reading books can really expand your mind and allow you to learn different skills and gain knowledge. I'm talking about the books where you will actually learn a new skill, not fiction books.
You can also take courses and attend seminars. These programs are taught by people with a high level of knowledge or skill. ④________ Only in this way can you avoid being fooled by some sales presentations.
Moreover, investing in yourself is a safe way to keep your money. Although a savings account is seen as the most secure investment, that isn't 100% safe. Even if you never experience your bank closing down, the return is little when inflation(通货膨胀) is taken into consideration. ⑤________ But over time, they will show up in terms of your happiness level as well as your level of success.
A. The benefits will stay with you.
B. This is just one way.
C. If you aren't a reader, you should start with that.
D. The more you do this, the more valuable you will be.
E. The best way to invest your money is to invest it in yourself.
F. Of course, you need to do some research before investing.
G. When you invest in yourself, you may not see gains right away.
