In her eyes, I saw pride for the first woman in our family to achieve a university education, her own plans of becoming a teacher and my grandmother's dreams of finishing school now fulfilled. Irealized I was standing on their shoulders. It was all their hard work, the endless house chores and their toughness that had brought me to this moment.
My grandmother Aspasia loved to tell us stories of her first years at elementary school on the small island of Chios, Greece: the songs she learned, her handwriting and her good marks. All this changed inGrade 4 when the family sent her to a local embroideress(刺绣女工) to learn the trade. And after she got married at 23, she had to abandon her needlepoint and devoted the rest of her life to her family,raising four children.
My mother Poppy was able to finish high school on Chios. She was an excellent student, and her parents encouraged her to pursue her dream of becoming a teacher. Unfortunately, the Greek civil wasclipped her wings. She ended up marrying and looking after her family.
As I grew up on Chios, my mother always urged me to get the university education that she was deprived(剥夺) of. When I started going to school, all I ever had to say to escape house chores was thatI needed to study. Sometimes I wanted to help her out with cooking Or baking, but my mother would say, “No. Go back to your homework! That is your main job. That takes priority (优先处理的事) !”
On my university graduation, my mother presented me with my grandma's special pendant. My heart overflowed with gratitude. I took my mother's hands in mine and kissed them. “Thank you ... for everything!”
Months after my university graduation,I got a scholarship to pursue graduate studies in AncientClassics in England.
One night, my grandmother appeared in my dreams standing at the doorway of my student room.She told me how proud she was that I was following my dream of education, one that was denied to the previous generations of our family's women. “You have come a long way!” she said.

What is your calling What is your purpose in life What did you come to this world to do Every day we read about how we should find our purpose and pursue it throughout our lives in order to find meaning and contentment. There are even scientific studies that show people who view their work asa calling rather than just a career or a job have a higher life and work satisfaction. So, what exactly this calling
I've personally struggled with this concept for many years. I knew that happiness not only came from a present state of joy, but also from the pursuit of an objective that gave me something to pursue.That is, until I found myself feeling empty despite my achievement of those goals.
And as I reflected on these feelings of emptiness and boredom that had arisen despite my successes,I realized something. Meaning and satisfaction come from a personal devotion to what we do and the intrinsic (固有的) fulfillment we get from it. It has nothing to do with financial gain, social advancement or any other type of external reward or motivation. It is about doing something that we love. It is about focusing our efforts and spending our time on passions that light the spark inside of us and allow us to share with the world the unique gifts we possess.
I had never before stopped to think about what I found intrinsically rewarding or fulfilling.Financial gain and external recognition were pretty much the only drivers I knew. More so, I thought this calling meant having one passion we were born with to pursue relentlessly(不懈地).
So I spent some years trying to find this long-lost purpose of mine. I discovered during that time passions l had no idea l even had. Yet. I wasn't sure how to make them into my life purpose. I searched for an answer but couldn't find it. It wasn't until I came to understand the truths about our purpose in life that I was able to find my place in this world. (
5
)
Our purpose can consist of various things that make us feel alive. As we grow and evolve throughout the different stages in our lives, we may discover new passions and desires that change our sense of purpose and calling.
We all have a longing for lives that give meaning to our existence. The difference lies in how we go about accomplishing this. We must each find our own“shine” and then shine on.
61. According to the passage, the calling refers to .
A. one's view about careers
B. a task one has to carry out
C. a life-long career one chooses
D. a strong desire or sense of duty to do a job
62. Which of the following belongs to the author's previous drivers for finding fulfillment
A. Financial gain and external recognition.
B. Pursuing passions relentlessly.
C. Discovering new passions.
D. Finding purpose in life.
63. What is the real purpose in life according to the author
A. Trying to do everything that you can.
B. Trying to achieve your ambitious goals.
C. Doing meaningful things with your passion.
D. Doing something that can be successful easily.
64. According to the 5th paragraph, we know that .
A. the author spent some years making changes
B. the author used to think he had no passion at all
C. the author didn't know how to search for the life purpose
D. the author has known his passions since he started to work
65. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage
A. It's wise to give up discovering our one true passion.
B. It's useless to pursue financial gain and external recognition.
C. It's necessary to find our own calling and pursue it with vigor.
D. It's important to share our passion with the world without stopping.
