In the fall of 1985, I was a bright eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty one years later I am still a bright eyed dream er and one with quite a different tale to tell.
My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.
Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic—and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son . In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.
You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four b oys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo—a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college fulltime. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.
The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They ofte n
wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.
In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!
Everything you want won't arrive in your life in one day. It's a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.

B. Drop.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg spoke Chinese for about 30 minutes in a talk at Tsinghua University, which surprised Chinese students.
Clayton Dube, head of the Institute, praises Zuckerberg's effort. "To speak Chinese means you begin to think as Chinese people do, which is vital if you're to be culturally competent."
Zuckerberg's talk raises a larger question: is Chinese the language of the future? Could it replace English as the world's international language? Chinese already has the most native speakers. And China may soon pass the US as the world's largest economy.
The study of Chinese is increasing around the world. In 2009, about 60,000 American college students were studying Chinese.
"As China rises you can expect more people will adopt the language. But I don't think Chinese is
going to replace English.” says Clayton Dube. "American movies, music, television, video games have wide audiences. So far China's success in this field has been very limited. It doesn't have a huge following outside China."
Andres Martinez, a famous professor, says English, with its association with freedom, will remain the global language." In many languages, the "you" form is different depending on the person you're talking to .But in English if I'm talking to President Obama or if I'm talking to my closest friend or my son, it’s ‘you.'"
Chinese is also a more difficult language to learn, which would take a native English speaker 2,200 hours to reach professional fluency. Chinese grammar is much simpler, but Chinese has a tone and writing system that is more difficult for adult learners to master.
A survey by Gallup showed for most Americans, Brits, and Australians, learning a foreign language is a choice, not a necessity. China Daily estimates that 400 million Chinese are studying English. That means China has more English learners than the . has English speakers.
25. The main idea of the passage is _______.
A. why Chinese is becoming popular
B. whether Chinese will take the place of English
C. what makes English a global language
D. the great importance of the Chinese language
26. Which factor may prevent the development of the Chinese language?
A. The population of speaking Chinese.
B. Its complicated grammar.
C. China's limited success in films or music overseas. diverse dialects.
27. More foreigners begin to learn Chinese because_____.
A. Chinese is going to replace English
B. Chinese is easy to learn
C. Mark Zukerberg’s speech influences them
D. people are aware of the importance of Chinese
28. From Andres Martinez’ words, we know that h e thinks English ______.
A. can show the idea of equality
B. is superior to other languages
C. can be easy to learn
D. has many forms of ' you'
C
Robots industry is developing so rapidly that there is no denying that we may one day find ourselves surrounded by robots.
The humanoid (human like) robots with two legs su ch as Honda Motor Co. Ltd’s ASIMO would likely have an easier time climbing up stairs inside homes than a robot that moves on wheels, developers say. But it will be some time before such devices make their way into people’s homes. “They may look smart, but they are still quite stupid,” Shimoyama said. “I don’t think they will ever be as smart as humans.”
While safety is an obvious concern, robots also need to be sensitive to people’s needs. Researchers at Fujitsu Frontech Ltd and Fujitsu Laboratories respo nsible for developing “Enon”, a guide and patrol (巡逻) robot designed for use in shopping malls and corporate facilities (公开场合), are working on this.
Enon, which has a humanoid upper body but no legs, is equipped with a touch screen on its chest and space in its stomach to carry loads weighting up to 10 kg.
In guide mode, it will check a newcomer and approach the person with a nod and a greeting: “Are you a visitor? Hello.”
Visitors requiring directions can point to icons (图标) displayed on Enon’s chest s creen. If the restroom icon is pressed, the screen will display a map that shows the way.
The robot will then face and point in the direction of the restroom, although it won’t actually walk the visitor there.
Enon is now in use at four locations in Japan, including a shopping mall near Tokyo. The main goal is to make it more helpful for the elderly.
“People who work in the transportation sector often ask whether we can build a robot that will find elderly people who look lost in train stations, and ask them if they are all right,” said Toshihido Marita, director of Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd’s autonomous system laboratory. “Actually that is
hard to do, very hard,” he said.
29. What can we know about robots according to the text?
A. They will replace human one day.
B. They are difficult to control.
C. They can do whatever humans do.
D. They will be widely used in our life.
30. What does Shimoyama think of robots?
A. Safe.
B. Friendly.
C. Stupid.
D. Kind-hearted.
31. What is people’s concern about robots?
A. Safety.
B. Appearance.
C. Weight.
D. Size.
32. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. The disadvantages of robots.
B. The development and use of robots.
C. The benefits that robots bring.
D. The history of robots.

So in order not to get lost in your circumstances, you should be the one who takes action first and takes the lead.

Instead, focus on appreciating things that you may take for granted. ___40______ .It might not sound like much. But this simple two-- minute exercise can help you to uncover a lot of the happiness that is already in your daily life.

Every student will be faced with the question after he passes the college entrance examinations: Should I choose a good major or a good university first? Maybe this is a common question for most of all the students. Some students prefer to consider majors first so that they can learn what they are interested in. It will also make it possible for them to take their favourite jobs in the future. However, thos e who think differently believe that the environment is important to one’s development and that graduates from leading universities are often more likely to find a good job. In my opinion, the best choice is a good major at a good university. If we cannot obtain both, the first thing to consider is a good major, because no matter where we study, we can still achieve a lot in a certain field if we try our best。
