阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D选项中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
When John Milton , writer of “Paradise Lost” ,entered Cambridge University, in 1625, he was already skilled in Latin after seven years of studying it as his second language at St. Paul’s School, London. Like all English boys who prepared for college in grammar schools ,he had learned not only to read Latin but also to speak and write it smoothly and correctly .His pronunciation of Latin was English ,however ,and seemed to have sounded strange to his friends when he later visited Italy.
Schoolboys gained their skill in Latin in a bitter way. They kept in mind the rules to make learning by heart easier. They first made a word-for-word translation and then an idiomatic translation into English .As they increased their skill ,they translated their English back into Latin without referring to the book and then compared their translation with the original .The schoolmaster was always at hand to encourage them. All schoolmasters believed Latin should be beaten in.
After several years of study ,the boys began to write compositions in imitation of the Latin writers they read. And as they began to read Latin poems ,they began to write poems in Latin .Because Milton was already a poet at ten ,his poems were much better than those painfully put together by the other boys. During the seven years Milton spent at university ,he made regular use of his command of Latin. He wrote some excellent Latin poems ,which he published among his works in 1645.

Growing up on a tobacco farm, Emma Avery was used to
hard times. When she was seven, her family’s farmhouse burned to the ground.
Her father made a temporary (临时的) shelter, where eight people had to sleep in two beds. As soon as
Emma and her four brothers and two sisters were big enough, they were out in
the fields.
Emma would find her comfort
in school, even as a C student, thanks to one teacher. When she moved on to
middle school, Emma was alarmingly far behind her classmates. She kept her head
down, trying not to be noticed, struggling to catch up, and feeling like an
outsider.
Then one day, when Emma was
16, a teacher named Mr. Potts changed everything. Looking his students in the
eye, Mr. Potts said, "Being a C student does not mean you do not have a
valuable contribution to make. Some of you have to work in the fields in the
evening and do not have time to study. But if you do your best, you have a gift
to give."
The teacher’s words made Emma
believe she could do well, and she worked harder. In the end she won a
scholarship to St. Paul’s College, graduated with a degree in elementary
education in 1967, and got a job in the public-school system. Then, at George
Washington University, she received a master’s in education in 1970, and
afterwards in the same year she married Ron Smothers.
Over the next six years, Emma
taught in public schools in Miami. In 1976, after saving $10,000, she opened
her first restaurant in Los Angeles. Eventually Emma stopped teaching, and her
business expanded (扩展) to six restaurants.
In gratitude (感激) for what she has been able to
achieve, Emma donates a lot. She has no idea how much money she’s given away.
She says, "Those I want to help are the C students who just need help,
direction and confidence."
1.The
first paragraph serves to show that Emma ______.
A．was poor and had no time to study B．was born on a tobacco farm C．was sad to lose her house D．was kind enough to help support the family
2.From the text we learn that Emma ______.
A．won a scholarship to George Washington University B．was unsuccessful as a businesswoman C．was thankful to Mr. Potts D．disliked teaching, and gave up the job
3.From the second paragraph we can infer that Emma was
______.
A．unintelligent B．unconfident C．hard-working D．Considerate
4.The text mainly wants to tell us ______.
A．confidence is the first step to success B．memory of the past is the teacher of the future C．something attempted, something done D．nothing is impossible to a willing heart
