(建议用时40分钟)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
When I was young, my mother didn’t have the money to send me to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with education. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself. But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4: 30 in the morning.
We need every one of you to develop your talents and your skills so that you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems. If you quit on school—you’re not just quitting o n yourself, but you’re quitting on your country. No one’s written your destiny(命运)for you, because you write your own destiny. You make your own future. That’s why today, I’m calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education and do everything you can to meet them. Your goals can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time reading a book.
But whatever you decide to do, I want you to commit(对……做出承诺) to it. I want you to really work at it. I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star. No one’s born being good at all things. You become
good at things through hard work. You’re not a good athlete at the first time you do a new sport. You don’t hit every note at the first time you sing a song. You have to practice.
