It seemed as if I didnt blend in(融入) with my classmates, and I found myself struggling academically. I searched to find some help in the college, but wasnt able to find much.My experience made me realize that there was a need for a group who could help the non-traditional students become successful and be better used to college life. I worked to help ESU (educational service unit) create such a group. We have to deal with study, family and our jobs at the same time. I wanted to provide resources to help make the change easier and less scary than my own experience was.The group I set up has now grown to over seventy members who help old students and support one another. Were currently working on a program to provide free babysitting for any college student that might need childcare. This would make things like studying in the library during the final weeks much easier.Helping to found this student organization makes me feel wonderful inside. I would love to know that by forming this group, it has helped so many non-traditional students on their college journey. Success can be measured in many different ways. I measure my success by helping others and giving back when I can. My grandmother often told me the world would be a better place if we cared about and helped each other. People dont care how much you know until they know how much you careshow them your care.5. Whats the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To complain about the difficulties in college.B. To ask for help in academics.C. To introduce the background of the topic.D. To describe the authors interesting experience.6. It can be inferred from the passage that the authors group _.A. mainly deals with academic problemsB. aims to reduce old students pressure from lifeC. wants to help others get used to the jobsD. mainly looks after children for old students7. Through the group, the author _.A. is happy to know she is cared aboutB. realizes her dreamC. understands her grandmothers wordsD. feels successfulCA survey revealed the average Asian dad spent one minute a day with his children. I was shocked. I mean, a whole minute? Every day? Get real. Once a week maybe. The fact is, many Asian males are terrible at kid-related things. Actually, I am one of them.Child-rearing(养育) doesnt come naturally to guys. My mother knew the names of our teachers, best friends and crushes. My dad was only vaguely aware there were short people sharing the apartment. My mother bought healthy fresh food at the market every day. My dad would only go shopping when there was nothing in the fridge except a jar of capers and a bay leaf. Then hed buy beer. My mother always knew the right questions to ask our teachers. My dad would ask my English teacher if she could get us a discount on school fees. My mother served kid food to kids. My dad added chili sauce to everything, including our baby food. The truth is, mothers have superpowers. My son fell off a wall once and hurt himself all over. I demanded someone bring me a computer so I could google what to do. My wife ignored me and did some sort of chanting phrase such as “Mummy kiss it better,” and cured 17 separate injuries in less than 15 seconds. Yes, mothers are incredible people, but they are not always right. Yet honesty forces me to record the fact that mothers only know best 99.99 per cent of the time. Here are some famousslip-ups. The mother of Bill Gates: “If youre going to drop out of college and hang out with your nerdy friends, dont come running to me when you find yourself penniless. ” The mother of Albert Einstein: “When you grow up, youll find that sitting around thinking about the nature of time and space wont pay the grocery bills.” The mother of George W. Bush: “Youll never be like your dad, who became President of the United States and started his own war.”8.The tone for the writer to write the passage is.A .humorous B. disapprovingC.serious D. critical9.In Paragraph 2 the writer makes a comparison between mothers and fathers to prove that _.A. females love kids more than malesB.males are not good at child-rearingC. child-rearing is difficult both for females and malesD. my dad is not interested in child-rearing10.What does the underlined word “slip-ups” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Stories. B. Mistakes C. Disadvantages. D. Shortcomings11.The last paragraph is mainly developed by _.A. analyzing causesB. following the order of spaceC. making comparisons D. providing different examples DSome people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. Im not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances dont come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and thats just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in additional to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising. To become great at certain things, itll require even more time, time that most people wont put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you dont enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. Its sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and theres a huge chance that youre wrong anyway.Whatever you do , if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If youre not willing to put in the time and work, dont expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work wont guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.12. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about .A. the importance of successB. the meaning of successC. the standards of success.D. the reasons for success 13. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word that refers to .A. setting a practical goal.B. being good at something.C. putting in more time.D. succeeding in life14. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?A. Successful people like to show their great skills.B. People need to achieve success at the cost of life. C. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.15. What is the main theme of the passage?A. One cannot succeed without time and practice.B. Being good is different from being great.C. Having a goal is vital to success.D. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。注意：E涂AB、F涂CD、G涂ADWays to make a great first impressionYouve heard it a million times already, but it really does take only a few seconds to make that all-important first impression ( 印 象 ).
