【题目】Motivated (有内驱力的 ) or Overachieving?
Everyone has the occasional classmate who hands in his work ahead of time with really beautiful handwriting. Some teachers may cheerfully get the homework by saying "Of course you did it early.I'm sure you've done a good job!" Some teachers may feel annoyed because "The deadline is not until next Friday." Behind this student's back are tons of whispers from his classmates, "Ugh, he is such an
overachiever and it's so annoying ..."
If you ask the same student to explain his behavior, he probably says that he is simply "motivated". Such students refuse to call themselves overachievers but prefer "motivated" instead. They want to shy away from the unpleasant term
"overachiever" but choose to embrace the word "motivated" .
Why is the term "overachiever" used as an insult (侮辱 )? Do we not all work hard to achieve our goals? Why does the "motivated" student not proudly call himself an "overachiever" ?
In my personal experience, being called an overachiever in front of my classmates is not pleasant at all. The word is often connected with an unkind smile or sometimes a hint ofjealousy (嫉妒 )."Overachiever" carries the implied (暗指的 ) sense which "over" lends it - you have done too much and you have gone too far. Anyway, it is beyond the proper degree and just annoying to those students who refuse to put in the effort themselves and get unhappy with you for doing so.
A student would rather think of himself as an excellent student and it is motivation that drives him to do his best. What is the implied meaning of "motivated" ? Connected with positive words like willpower, spirit and determination, the "motivated" student would appear to be competing in an event of the brain Olympics.
Although there are differences in their implications, the student who calls himself "motivated" could actually be a secret overachiever, going over the top for all his work; while the "overachiever" is nothing more than a motivated student, driven by the simple desire to do well and willing to put in time and effort. In fact, the choice lies within the student: to overachieve or not to overachieve; to find the motivation to do well and be driven by it, or to sit back and blame others for overachieving to hide his inability to achieve.
【1】According to the passage, overachievers
A. are popular with their classmates B. hand in homework ahead of time
C. are much loved by their teachers D. look down on others for being slow
【2】The word "embrace" in Paragraph 2 probably means "_ ".
A. understand B. explain C. doubt D. accept
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A. Teachers expect students to benefit from their extra work.
B. Students compete with each other to become overachievers.
C. Classmates may laugh at overachievers to hide their inability to achieve.
D. The writer has some pleasant experiences of being called an overachiever.
【4】The writer probably agrees tahat
A. students shouldn't be encouraged to be overachievers
B. students without motivation will become overachievers
C. motivated students make better progress than overachievers
D. motivated students have something in common with overachievers
