18．Dear daughters，
    Most parents tell their children，"You can be anything you want when you grow up．"I feel the same and I say this often．But I also want you to understand that the dream itself comes from hard work，some good luck and good timing．
    Girls，here are some words of wisdom as you make your way in the world，from an entrepreneur（企业家）and from your mama．
1．Be open-minded to changing your path（even several times）along the way
    In high school，I wanted to be a politician．I left my hometown and went off to college in Washington，DC．There，I discovered that I loved to support women．It taught me that I'm creative，a strong leader and great at marketing．As a result，I moved on to be the head of a national healthcare nonprofit．Becoming a mother while in that job opened my mind to launching a breast pump bag（储奶袋）business．Now I run a highly successful company that I started up on my own．
    Figure out what you are good at and what you are passionate about．Keep an open mind，the initial（最初的）path you choose may lead you into other areas．
    Don't waste your money or time，but constantly change what you are doing professionally based on what you are learning about yourself．
2．Failure is critical to your success
    I won't tell you to feel good about failure．Failure can be heartbreaking．But I will tell you that every failure I've had along the way has absolutely made me better．
    Failing the big math exam in high school and going to summer school was embarrassing．I eventually passed，and I've never failed an exam again．I learned from that experience to ask for help．Now，I ask for help in business all the time．
    Being passed over for a significant job opportunity that I was more than qualified for because of unfair assumptions （being too young for the role） hurt me．I had a three-month pity party．And then I went out and got a big job at a national organization at age 27．It's okay to get angry!Take that and turn it into positive action．
    I'm proud to be a role model to you as a mom and an entrepreneur．I hope I inspire you to believe that you can be anything you want and you can have everything on your list．It will be my pleasure to watch your lives unfold before my eyes．
    Love，
    Your Mom

37．D 细节理解题．根据句子 constantly change what you are doing professionally based on what you are learning about yourself．不断地改变你在做什么，在你学什么专业的基础上，可以看出作者认为一个人应该乐意改变他们的职业之路．所以答案选D．

39．B 细节理解题．根据文中句子 I learned from that experience to ask for help．Now，I ask for help in business all the time．我从那次经历中学到了寻求帮助，现在，我一直在寻求帮助，所以答案选B．

9．The Common Application for college，known as the Common App，is a timesaving tool accepted by more and more schools each years--public，private，large，and small．Depending on where you plan to apply，you may be able to save yourself from writer's cramp（痉挛）because you only have to complete it once，filling out the typical pages of information just a single time．After that，you can send it out over and over again in clear photocopy form．Better yet，it can be completed online at www．commonapp．org．
    Member schools of the Common Application organization are allowed membership only if they stick to a whole applicant evaluation process．If you're checking the sites of your favorite colleges and they're members of the organization，then there's a good chance they'll have a link right on their site that will take you straight to the college Common Application at its home website．As an added bonus，several dozens of these schools will reduce or give up their application charge if you apply online．
    It's not unusual for some colleges to require a brief supplement（补充）unique to their school in addition to the Common Application．Many of those supplements require applicants to write an extra essay or two，so if you plan to use the Common Application，make sure you're submitting everything that the school is requesting．
    There're rumors（谣言）that some schools don't treat the Common Application with the same regard as their own unique applications．Thankfully，such rumors appear to be mostly just that--rumors．Colleges accepting the Common Application promise to give it equal weight，and they do．In fact，more and more schools now only use the Common Application．
    For a list of participating schools and to access the college Common Application online，visit www．commonapp．org．Peterson's is your guide to college information．Use Peterson's college search to find the best college or university for you．

1．We all have weaknesses and strengths-no matter who we are．Sometimes the weaknesses seem to outweigh the strengths．Some people get sick easily，for example．
Many people leave it and accept it as just bad luck-but not everyone．Some people facing huge limitations still manage to achieve a lot．They rise above their weaknesses and do not allow them to limit their possibilities．It's your choice
I attended a school prize-giving ceremony not so long ago and the guest speaker was Andrew Becroft，who had a severe stutter （口吃） as a child．Instead of allowing this to limit him，he chose to work hard to overcome it．He is now the Principal Youth Court Judge for New Zealand．
Lots of people face far more limitations than you do．They may be disabled or are born into extreme poverty．But no matter what the limitation，you will always find people who have overcome it．
Here are some more examples：
Brett Eastburn has no arms or legs and yet is an inspirational speaker and also a very good wrestler．He shares his story in a brief video on his site．
Ringo Starr，drummer for the Beatles，came from a very poor background．He was constantly suffering from illnesses as a child and spent lots of time in hospital．Here is his inspiring story．
Helen Keller became ill and lost her sight and hearing when 19months old （before she'd learned to speak）．She went on to become a world famous author and speaker．
Wilma Rudolph was the 20th of 22children．As a child she suffered various diseases，leaving her left leg and foot weak and deformed．Doctors said she would never walk again．She went on to win 3gold medals in track during the 1960Olympic games．
Mark Inglis lost both of his legs below the knees in a mountaineering accident，but has since climbed Mt Everest．No one would have predicted these successes．
These above are cases involving individuals with limitations．They were just people with problems．If one of these people had told you what they hoped to achieve，you would have nodded kindly while quietly thinking to yourself that they had no chance．And yet the results spoke for themselves．
Most of us will never have to face the kinds of challenges these people faced．Yet most of us will never achieve to the degree that these people have either．
If Mark Inglis can climb the highest mountain in the world without legs，what can you do？

54．The author mainly wants to tell usC．
A．no one can predict others'success
B．we all face challenges in life
C．not to let weakness limit our possibilities
D．to accept who we are．
55．If a disabled boy is interested in making speeches，who may he learn from？A
A．Brett Eastburn and Helen Keller
B．Ringo Starr and Helen Keller
C．Brett Eastburn and Ringo Starr
D．Wilma Rudolph and Mark Inglis
56．When people with limitations tell what they want to achieve，one will probablyD．
A．shake his head kindly
B．believe what they have said
C．keep quiet
D．think there is no possibility
57．What can we infer from the last underlined sentence？B
A．No one can achieve what Mark Inglis has achieved．
B．What we can achieve depends on how we choose
C．Mark Inglis is the only one to climb the highest mountain without legs
D．Mark Inglis wouldn't have climbed the high mountain if he hadn't lost legs．

2．A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night's sleep．But now a study has found it really does help people nod off-if it is milked from a cow at night．
Researchers have discovered that"night milk"contains more melatonin（褪黑激素），which has been proved to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety．
The study，by researchers from Seoul，South Korea，involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night．
Those given night milk，which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin，were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime，according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food．
Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer．
While the effect of cows milk harvested at different times has not been tested on humans up to now，taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night．
Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content，which helps people to relax．
Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening．The more fat you take in before bedtime，the greater burden you will put on your body at night．

12．According to the text，the mice fed with daytime milkC．
A．started sleep more easily
B．were less active
C．were more anxious
D．woke up later
13．Which of the following is TRUE of melatonin according to the text？A
A．It's used in sleeping drugs
B．It exists in milk in great amount
C．It can make people more energetic
D．It's been tested on mice for ten years
14．What can be a suitable title for the text？D
A．Milk Drinking and Health
B．Fat，Sugar and Health
C．An Experiment on Mice
D．Night Milk and Sleep
15．How does the author support the theme of the text？B
A．By giving examples．
B．By providing research results．
C．By explaining statistical data．
D．By stating arguments．
