How to Apply for Scholarships
Unlike most financial aid, scholarships allow you to earn money for college without the worry of needing to pay it back. Here is some advice on how to apply for and potentially win a scholarship!
Finding Scholarships that Fit Your Needs. Scholarships are often offered to specific groups of people, and your background can open up scholarship opportunities.
★ If looking for scholarships in the US, you can start by searching the U.S. Department of Labor’s scholarship search.
★ If you come from a military family, look on the Federal Student Aid website for information on scholarships available to you.
★ If you know what colleges you plan to apply to or are already admitted into a certain college, look for merit scholarships(优秀奖学金) offered by these specific schools. You can find this information on their website or through the financial aid office.
★ Some colleges and private organizations offer service-based scholarships. If you have been particularly engaged in serving one specific cause, see if there are scholarships which specifically offer money to students who have served that cause.
Writing Scholarship Essays. Do some research on the organization offering the scholarship and write down what they care about in one sentence. This will help you better understand your audience and consider ways to tailor your application to their expectations. For example, let’s say the organization wants to invest in future leaders. In your essay, you should include stories that demonstrate your abilities as a leader (in big or small settings). Please note: the last thing a scholarship committee wants to read is an essay lacking real personal information or flavor. Write in a voice that is true to who you are. Tell stories to illustrate your points but never lie about your experiences. Most importantly, don’t be disqualified for silly reasons like word limits, spell check and deadlines.
Finding the right recommenders. Choose a teacher, coach, or employer who knows you well. Academic references should come from teachers and school administrators, while character references can come from employers, coaches or unrelated adults who you interact with regularly. Avoid relatives and friends. Sponsors naturally assume that their opinions are not objective and may not take them seriously as a result.
pared with other financial aid, what’s the advantage of scholarships
A. It needn’t be paid back.
B. It is easier to apply for.
C. It can satisfy all your needs.
D. It offers a larger sum of money.
37. If you’ve already been admitted into a university, which scholarship best suits you
A. Department of Labor’s scholarships. B. Merit scholarships.
C. Federal Student Aid scholarships. D. Service-based scholarships
38. What should be avoided in writing scholarship essays
A. Doing some research beforehand.
B. Offering supporting evidence.
C. Adding some fictional stories.
D. Keeping the deadline in mind.
39. Who is not qualified for being a recommender
A. Your uncle. B. Your employer. C. Your colleague. D. Your teacher.
40. From which is the text probably taken
A. A textbook. B. A travel brochure
C. A science magazine. D. An official website of a university.
【答案】36. A 37. B 38. C 39. A 40. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何申请奖学金。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Unlike most financial aid, scholarships allow you to earn money for college without the worry of needing to pay it back.”(与大多数经济援助不同,奖学金让你赚到上大学的钱,而不用担心需要偿还。)可知,与其他经济援助相比,奖学金的优势是它不需要偿还。故选A项。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“If you know what colleges you plan to apply to or are already admitted into a certain college, look for merit scholarships offered by these specific schools.”(如果你知道自己打算申请哪所大学,或者已经被某所大学录取了,那就去看看这些学校提供的优秀奖学金吧。)可知,如果你已经被一所大学录取,优秀学生奖学金最适合你。故选B项。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Write in a voice that is true to who you are. Tell stories to illustrate your points but never lie about your experiences.”(用真实的自己的声音来写作。讲故事来阐明你的观点,但绝不要对你的经历撒谎。)可知,在写奖学金论文时应该避免增加一些虚构的故事。故选C项。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Avoid relatives and friends. Sponsors naturally assume that their opinions are not objective and may not take them seriously as a result.”(避开亲朋好友。赞助者自然认为他们的意见不客观,因此可能不会认真对待。)故可推知,你的叔叔没有资格成为推荐人。故选A项。
40题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章大意以及“If you come from a military family, look on the Federal Student Aid website for information on scholarships available to you.”(如果你来自军人家庭,可以在联邦学生援助网站上查找奖学金信息。)和“You can find this information on their website or through the financial aid office.”(你可以在他们的网站上或通过财政援助办公室找到这些信息。)故可推知,这篇文章可能是来自大学的官方网站。故选D项
B
Ten years ago, when I was in junior school, Mrs. Amatuli was my language teacher. One day at lunch time, I was getting ready to eat my cold fish sandwich as usual and suddenly Mrs. Amatuli asked me if she could buy the sandwich from me. She explained that I could use the money to buy a hot lunch from the cafeteria. I was very pleased. I never bought my lunch from the cafeteria. It was too expensive for my family, and I always carried my lunch and took the bag back home to use again the next day.
Seeing that other students went to the cafeteria after class, I felt my heart was filled with admiration. You can imagine how pleased I was when I had the opportunity to buy a hot lunch. Kids always complained about the cafeteria food but I really wished to buy it. When we finished lunch that day, Mrs. Amatuli took me aside and explained why she had bought my sandwich. She said she was a Catholic and Catholics didn’t eat red meat on Fridays — they ate fish on Fridays. From then on, every Friday she bought my fish sandwich and with the money I could get in line with other kids for a hot lunch.
One year later, I knew from a classmate that Mrs. Amatuli was not a Catholic and her family was not rich. She bought my cold sandwich because she knew that a poor girl would be excited at the simple act of having a hot lunch. She wanted to help me! I will never forget her sympathy and generosity. I will be grateful to my dear teacher, Mrs. Amatuli, forever.

Old age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older. Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50. In fact, they say by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were when they were 18 years old.
The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of 18 and 85. The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 24 and 25. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply(突然地) after people reached their fifties.
The study also showed that men and women have similar feeling patterns as they grow older.
However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.
Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their feelings. They so spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be connected to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being(幸福) related to age.
46 According to the survey of the Gallup Organization people are most likely to become happier.
A. when they are between the ages of 18 and 85
B. when they come to their old age
C. when they are in their twenties
D. when they are 18 years old
47. You may have the highest level of stress when you are at the age of ______.
A. 20 B. 25 C. 35 D. 40
48. According to Arthur Stone, old people may .
A. have a positive attitude towards their life
B. know how to spend money wisely
C. dream about good things every day
D. control their behaviors better
49. Who would probably show the greatest interest in the passage
A. Those who are worried about getting old
B. Those who are single and unemployed
C. Those who feel unhappy all the time
D. Those who suffer from mental stress
50. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Women Are Easier to Be Happy in Life
B. The Young Are Happier Than the Old
C. Getting Older Means Getting Happier
D. The Younger, the Happier
【答案】46. B 47. B 48. A 49. A 50. C

American love pets. Many pet owners treat these friends as part of the family. Sometimes they spice their pets’ life with entertaining videos and amusing toys. If they have an eye for fashion, pet owners can dress their pets in fashionable clothes. For special occasions, they can use perfume to make their dogs smell well.
Leading a dog’s life in America isn’t such a bad thing. Many grocery stores sell various pet foods to owners eager to please their pets. In Houston, Texas dogs can have their dinner delivered to their homes. Well-to-do dogs can attend doggy daycare center, which is usually expensive, while their owners work.

They provide care and adoption service for homeless and abused (被虐待的) animals. Vet (兽医) can give animals an incredible level of medical care for an incredible price. People can even bury their pets in a respectable cemetery.
The average American enjoys having pets around for a good reason. Researchers have discovered that interaction with animals lowers a person’s blood pressure. Dogs can offer protection from burglars and unwelcome visitors. Cats can help rid the home of unwanted pests. Pets even encourage social relationships: they give their owners an appearance of friendliness, and they provide a good topic of conversation.

How to Apply for Scholarships
Unlike most financial aid, scholarships allow you to earn money for college without the worry of needing to pay it back. Here is some advice on how to apply for and potentially win a scholarship!
Finding Scholarships that Fit Your Needs. Scholarships are often offered to specific groups of people, and your background can open up scholarship opportunities.
★ If looking for scholarships in the US, you can start by searching the U.S. Department of Labor’s scholarship search.
★ If you come from a military family, look on the Federal Student Aid website for information on scholarships available to you.
★ If you know what colleges you plan to apply to or are already admitted into a certain college, look for merit scholarships(优秀奖学金) offered by these specific schools. You can find this information on their website or through the financial aid office.
★ Some colleges and private organizations offer service-based scholarships. If you have been particularly engaged in serving one specific cause, see if there are scholarships which specifically offer money to students who have served that cause.
Writing Scholarship Essays. Do some research on the organization offering the scholarship and write down what they care about in one sentence. This will help you better understand your audience and consider ways to tailor your application to their expectations. For example, let’s say the organization wants to invest in future leaders. In your essay, you should include stories that demonstrate your abilities as a leader (in big or small settings). Please note: the last thing a scholarship committee wants to read is an essay lacking real personal information or flavor. Write in a voice that is true to who you are. Tell stories to illustrate your points but never lie about your experiences. Most importantly, don’t be disqualified for silly reasons like word limits, spell check and deadlines.
Finding the right recommenders. Choose a teacher, coach, or employer who knows you well. Academic references should come from teachers and school administrators, while character references can come from employers, coaches or unrelated adults who you interact with regularly. Avoid relatives and friends. Sponsors naturally assume that their opinions are not objective and may not take them seriously as a result.

Ten years ago, when I was in junior school, Mrs. Amatuli was my language teacher. One day at lunch time, I was getting ready to eat my cold fish sandwich as usual and suddenly Mrs. Amatuli asked me if she could buy the sandwich from me. She explained that I could use the money to buy a hot lunch from the cafeteria. I was very pleased. I never bought my lunch from the cafeteria. It was too expensive for my family, and I always carried my lunch and took the bag back home to use again the next day.
Seeing that other students went to the cafeteria after class, I felt my heart was filled with admiration. You can imagine how pleased I was when I had the opportunity to buy a hot lunch. Kids always complained about the cafeteria food but I really wished to buy it. When we finished lunch that day, Mrs. Amatuli took me aside and explained why she had bought my sandwich. She said she was a Catholic and Catholics didn’t eat red meat on Fridays — they ate fish on Fridays. From then on, every Friday she bought my fish sandwich and with the money I could get in line with other kids for a hot lunch.
One year later, I knew from a classmate that Mrs. Amatuli was not a Catholic and her family was not rich. She bought my cold sandwich because she knew that a poor girl would be excited at the simple act of having a hot lunch. She wanted to help me! I will never forget her sympathy and generosity. I will be grateful to my dear teacher, Mrs. Amatuli, forever.

Old age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older. Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50. In fact, they say by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were when they were 18 years old.
The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of 18 and 85. The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 24 and 25. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply(突然地) after people reached their fifties.
The study also showed that men and women have similar feeling patterns as they grow older.
However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.
Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their feelings. They so spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be connected to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being(幸福) related to age.
46. According to the survey of the Gallup Organization people are most likely to become happier.
A. when they are between the ages of 18 and 85
B. when they come to their old age
C. when they are in their twenties
D. when they are 18 years old
47. You may have the highest level of stress when you are at the age of ______.
A. 20 B. 25 C. 35 D. 40
48. According to Arthur Stone, old people may .
A. have a positive attitude towards their life
B. know how to spend money wisely
C. dream about good things every day
D. control their behaviors better
49. Who would probably show the greatest interest in the passage
A. Those who are worried about getting old
B. Those who are single and unemployed
C. Those who feel unhappy all the time
D. Those who suffer from mental stress
50. What would be the best title for the passage

B. The Young Are Happier Than the Old
C. Getting Older Means Getting Happier
D. The Younger, the Happier

American love pets. Many pet owners treat these friends as part of the family. Sometimes they spice their pets’ life with entertaining videos and amusing toys.
