Last year, I lived in Chile for half a year．I lived with a Chilean family and had the responsibilities of any Chilean teenager．I had good days and bad days I didn’t understand．

Chuquicamata, my host community, is a mining camp．When I arrived there, I was scared．It was so different　 from what I was used to．There were lots of dogs on the streets, and there was no downtown, few smoothly paved streets, and little to do for entertainment．Rain was not seen very often, earthquakes and windstorms were frequent．

I had studied Spanish for two and a half years and was always one of the best students in my class．But in my first week in Chile I was only able to communicate and needed one person to whom I could explain my shock．I couldn’t speak the thoughts in my head and there were so many．

Most exchange students experience this like me．Culture shock presents itself in everything from increased aggression towards the people to lack of appetite (食欲)．I was required to overcome all difficulty．

As time passed, everything changed．I began to forget words in English and to dream in Spanish and love Chilean food．I got used to not depending on expensive things for fun．Fun in Chuquicamata was being with people. And I took math, physics, chemistry, biology, Spanish, art, and philosophy．

But the sacrifices were nothing compared to the gain．I learned how to accept and to succeed in another culture．I now have a deeper understanding of both myself and others．

Section C

Directions：Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with ONE word that best fits the context．

Parents, especially those of teenagers, care about their children' s education more than anything else．They would do 48．for their children．Many of them spend most of their spare time 49．their children with studies．If they have no time or cannot do it themselves,they would hire family　 teachers 50 ．send their children to after-class schools．It seems as if a better 51．is all that parents expect for children．

How can we explain the present situation? First of all, many parents have realized that future success depends more and more 52．skills and education．Secondly, in a competitive(竞争的)society there are both losers and 53．Those who have better skills and more knowledge　 will enjoy 54.opportunities．

Certainly, it is important to learn to succeed, but the first thing to learn is how to survive, how to be a qualified citizen．55．this is included in good education, the children will surely have a bright future and healthy in body and mind．

PART THREE 　 READING COMPREHENSION

Directions：Read the following　 three passages．Each passages is followed　 by several questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are four choice s marked A, B, C and D．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage．

A

One of the keys to being successful in what you do is persistence．Once you have determined exactly what you want to achieve, you must take massive action on a constant basis in order to succeed．

One of the things you'll notice on your journey towards your goal are roadblocks．That is, you will come across obstacles that seem to jump out of　 nowhere in an attempt to discourage your progress．Actually,　 they are a part of life．Everyone would have every success that ever wanted if there were no obstacles．Your job is to be persistent and work through obstacles．If you find little or no obstacles along the way, you are not really challenging yourself．And when you do reach your goal, you won' t experience the feeling of "sweet success"．Make your goal a challenging one!

If you take the time to study a successful　 person, you will learn that the vast majority of them have had more “failures” than they have had “successes”．This is because successful　 people are persistent; the more they stumble, the more they get right back up and try again．On the other hand, people who don' t get back up and try again never reach success．For example, Walt Disney was turned down 302 times before he got financing for his dream of creating the "Happiest Place on Earth" ．Today, due to his persistence, millions of people have shared "the joy of Disney"．Colonel Sanders spent two years driving across the United States looking for restaurants to buy his chicken recipe．He was turned down 1,009 times! How successful is Kentucky Fried Chicken today!

Having known these facts, keep in mind that you must constantly reevaluate your circumstances and the approach　 you are using to reach your goal．There is no sense in being persistent at something that you are doing incorrectly! Sometimes you have to modify your approach along the way．Every time you do something you learn from it, and therefore　 find a better way to do it the next time．

Today is the day to begin your journey, using consistency and persistency, towards tomorrow's successes!
