I ALMOST failed out of college and it nearly broke my self-confidence. I had been at the top of my high school class, the total golden child. So when I decided that I wanted to attend Columbia University for graduate school, I was sure it would be close to impossible.
My goals were to prove to myself that my years of academic success in secondary school had not happened by chance and prepare for a career in children’s media. But first I had to get in.
So I enrolled (报名) in a GRE test prep course and threw myself into the class. The first part was pretty scary and by the third, I knew it wasn’t going to get any easier. I reconsidered my plan to take the GRE.
For the first time in my life, I considered how I should go about getting into graduate school. What were my special skills? Would any of them get me into graduate school?
I got a job working on a project sponsored by the dean’s (系主任的) office on campus and enrolled in a class. I had a new plan: Be a top student in the class while working on campus, get letters of recommendation from my boss and my professor, then hope that playing to my strengths like writing interesting papers would be enough for my application.
I worked my butt off (很努力工作) that semester. With finals approaching, I felt confident I would get an “A” in the course, so it was time for step two. I asked my boss to write a letter of recommendation. She immediately agreed. But my professor said no. She did not know me well enough and the semester was not completed. However, I decided I just would not take no for an answer. I asked if she would least write a short note unofficially supporting my application. After some uncomfortable conversations, she finally agreed. In the end, I got in!
I revisit that moment of persistence (执着) again and again. I have leapt into many other opportunities since then. Now I am starting a company born out of my graduate school research in children’s media. Our first product is a mobile game for teen girls that breaks down major life milestones (里程碑) into missions (任务). On its surface, the product helps girls connect with each other. But it also helps them develop the tools to live life without limits.

A. the beginning of the GRE course was really frightening
B. she realized by the third part of her GRE class that her plan wouldn’t work

A. developing my physical power
B. making use of what I am good at
C. doing something to the best of my ability

3.One of the reasons why the professor refused to write a letter of recommendation was that ______.
A. the author had almost failed out of college
B. the author was not a top student in high school
C. the author was not her favorite student in the class
D. the professor did not know enough about the author

Those accustomed to looking through thousands of books in big bookstores may find Japan’s Morioka Shoten a little strange．That’s because this tiny bookstore that is located in luxury shopping district of Ginza，in Tokyo offers just one title to its customers．
Opened in May 2015，Morioka Shoten(Japanese for bookstore)is the brainchild of Yoshiyuki Morioka．The experienced bookseller began his career as a bookstore clerk in Tokyo’s Kanda district before branching out to open his own store．It was here while organizing book readings that he realized that customers usually came into the store with one title in mind．Morioka began to wonder if a store could exist by selling many copies of just one single book．In November 2014，he partnered with his two friends，to establish a unique bookstore with the idea‘A Single Room，A Single Book．’
Like its offering，the bookstore is simple．The selections that are picked by Morioka change weekly and vary widely to attract customers with different interests．Recent choices include The True Deceiver，all award-winning Swedish novel by Tove Jansson，Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales．and a collection of artist Karl Blossfeldt’s photography of plants．Morioka has also displayed books written by famous Japanese authors Mimei Ogawa and ito Akagi．
To highlight his single offering，Morioka often uses clever methods．For example，when selling a book about flowers，he decorated his shop with the ones that had been mentioned in the book．He also encourages featured authors to hold multiple talks and discussions so they can connect with customers．Morioka says his ultimate goal is for the customers to perience being inside a book，not just a bookstore!
Risky as the idea might seem，things appear to be going well．Morioka says he has sold over 2,100 books since he opened it．Things can only get better given that his bookstore is becoming increasingly popular not just among the locals but also visitors from other countries•

It is reported that conservation groups（自然环境保护小组）in North America have been arguing about the benefits and dangers of wolves．Some groups believe wolves should be killed．Other people believe wolves must be protected so that they will not disappear from the wilderness(荒野)
For Killing Wolves
In Alaska，the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago，because hunters were killing hundreds of them for sport．However, laws were established to protect the wolves from sportsmen and people who catch the animals for their fur．So the wolf population has greatly increased．Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply．
A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family．People in the wilderness also hunt deer for food．Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by changes in the wilderness plant life．When the deer can’t find enough food，they die．
If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer，their prey(猎物)will disappear some day．And the wolves will．too．So we must change the cycle of life in the wilderness to balance the ecology（生态学）．If we killed more wolves，we would save them and their prey from dying out．We’d also save some farm animals．
In another northern state，wolves attack cows and chickens for food．Farmers want the government to send biologists（生物学家） to study the problem．They believe it necessary to kill wolves in some areas and to protect them in places where there is a small wolf population．
Against Killing Wolves
If you had lived long ago，you would have heard many different stories about the dangerous wolf．According to most stories，hungry wolves often kill people for food．Even today，the stories of the “big bad wolf'＂will not disappear．
But the fact is that wolves are afraid of people．and they seldom travel in areas where there is a human smell．When wolves eat other animals，they usually kill the very young or the sick and injured．The strongest survive．No kind of animal would have survived through the centuries if the weak members had not lived．And has always been a law of nature．
Although some people say it is good sense to kill wolves，we say it is nonsense! Researchers have found wolves and their prey living in balance．The wolves keep the deer population from becoming too large, and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life．
The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used by people．Even if wilderness land is not used directly for human needs, the wolves can’t always find enough food．So they travel to the nearest source, which is often a farm．Then there is danger．The “big bad wolf” has arrived! And everyone knows what happens next．
1.According to the passage，some people in North America favor killing wolves for all the following reasons EXCET that ．
A．there are too many wolves
B．they kill large numbers of deer
C．they attack cows and chickens for food
D．they destroy the wilderness plant life

A．wolves help to keep the ecological balance in the wilderness
B．there is too small a wolf population in the wilderness
C．there are too many deer in the wilderness
D．wolves are afraid of people and never attack people
3.According to those against killing wolves，when wolves eat other animals， ．
A．they never eat strong and healthy ones
B．they always go against the law of nature
C．they might help this kind of animals survive in nature
D．they disturb the ecological balance in the wilderness
4.The last sentence “And everyone knows what happens next” implies that in such cases ．
A．farm animals will be in danger and have to be shipped away
B．wolves will kill people and people will in turn kill them
C．wolves will find enough food sources on farms
D．people will leave the areas where wolves can live
