People say going to college will change your life and that everyone should have the chance to challenge themselves with a college experience. But my parents never had that opportunity. 1.________
All during high school I wondered if I would go to college and if I would have what my parents never had. I would think about my future, about college and what I wanted to do when I grew up. But then there were thoughts of not going, of believing what others said about college and thinking I had no chance to go.

She told me about her college experience and all the fun times she'd had. 4.________
This conversation changed me. 5.________ If I hadn't talked with her, I wouldn't know where I would be today. I now want to make something of myself. I want to become somebody that I wasn't before. I want to go to college.
A. She made the decision that she should continue her education.
B. She told me not to miss out on it because I would regret it.
C. It made me feel comfortable with myself and helped me believe in myself.
D. She knew my family could not easily afford my college expenses.
E. They didn't have the money or family to help or motivate them.
F. I didn't have money and knew my parents didn't either.

How to overcome challenges in your life
We all face tough and difficult challenges in life. To overcome challenges you need to have that “never quit” attitude in life. If you develop it, you’ll overcome quite a bit.
Motivate yourself. Say “YES, I CAN.” The challenge should bring out the best of you in this situation. Slow it down, and think that process through. 1. If you develop that mindset (心态), you’ll get it done.
2. Remain calm when you’re facing serious troubles and problems in life. You have to recollect yourself, and calm down. You can’t solve problems when you’re panicking. Take a deep breath, relax, and slow it down. Think things through calmly.
Let failure and fear fuel you in a positive way. Everyone fails at times. If you fail the first, second, or third time, don’t give up. 3.
Learn what made you fail and overcome these challenges.
Simplify the challenge you’re facing. Make the challenge easier than it is. 4. As you get through each step, you develop more confidence and you believe you can get it done, and then you will.
Stay positive and confident. 5.You have to find out all the ways you can use to overcome it, and put them to full use with all your effort. It’s our own mental stability that’s the difficult part. When you do it mentally, you’ll actually be able to do it.
A. Stay calm and cool headed.
B. Think the best, not the worst.
C. Start by breaking it down into steps.
D. To overcome a challenge, you have to believe you can really do it.
E. Most people will avoid any challenge, because they’re scared of failing.
F. Develop that confidence in saying there’s no way you’re going to fail at this.
G. Pick yourself up, and learn from why you’ve failed, and move on in a positive direction.

A couple of weeks later, the bartender decided to clear this out and inquired: “I do not want to pry, but could you explain, why do you order three beers all the time?” The man replied: “It seems strange, isn’t it? You see, my two brothers live abroad at the moment, one – in France and another – in Italy.

Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.
1.________ Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.

Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
3.________ They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “4.________ Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”

Humans have long been interested greatly in the idea of being able to walk on water. Sadly, biological facts prevent us ever realizing this dream without artificial aid—we simply weigh too much, and all our weight pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink.
However, several types of animals can walk on water. One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicus basilicus, a lizard (蜥蜴) native to Central and South America. It can run across water for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the water's surface with its feet. The lizard will reach a speed of 20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans, we would need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create enough “hitting”.
But fortunately there is an alternative: cornflour(玉米淀粉). By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water (and it does take a lot), you can create a special mixture that doesn't behave like normal water. Now, if the surface of the water is hit hard enough, particles(微粒) in the water get together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of this adequately thick liquid of cornflour.
Fun though all this may sound, it's still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice. If you must do it, then keep the water wings(救生圈) ready in case you start to sink—and take a bath afterward!
1.Walking on water hasn't become a reality mainly because humans _________.
A. are not interested in it
B. are afraid to make an attempt
C. have not invented proper tools
D. have biological limitations
2.What do we know about Basilicus basilicus from the passage?
A. It is light enough to walk on water.
B. It can run across water at a certain speed.
C. Its huge feet make it able to stay above water.
D. Its unique skin keeps it from getting wet in water.
3.What is the function of the cornflour according to the passage?
A. To help the liquid behave normally.
B. To turn the water into solid.
C. To create a thick liquid.
D. To make the water move rapidly.
4.What is the author’s attitude toward the idea of humans’ walking on water?
A. It is risky but beneficial.
B. It is impractical though possible in thoery.
C. It is crazy and cannot become a reality.
D. It is interesting and worth trying.
