she tore it up.
揧ou can't say it's not a great university, s just because Papa went there.”
揟hat's not it at all. And it is a top university.?She e was still holding the pieces in her hand.“But we can't afford to send you to college.”
揑 wouldn't dream of asking you for money. Do you want mfe to get a job to help support you and Papa? Things aren't that bad,
are they?”” she said.“I don't expect you to help support us.”
Father borrowed money from his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop. His chief customers were his old college friends. To get new customers,
my mother had to help. She picked up a longforgotten membership in the local league of women,
so that she could get to know more people. Whether those people would turn into customers was another question. I knew that my parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment(投资) could show returns. What's more,
they had not wanted enough to be rich and successful; otherwise they could not possibly have managed their lives so badly.
I was torn between the desire to help them and change their lives,
and the determination not to repeat their mistakes. I had a strong belief in my power to get what I wanted. After months of hard study I won a full college scholarship (奖学金). My father could
hardly contain his pride in me,
and my mother eventually gave in before my success.

“Confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable traits(品质)in the Americans. They show confidence in the way they talk, the way they smile, the way they dress and the way they walk. Living and competing with all these confident American students, I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and instructor. As a student, being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind. Don't mind if it sounds simple or silly. Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all. What's worse, the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue—this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive.
Being confident for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it. Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace. But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their Speeches(The course I'm teaching here is public speaking). Modesty is a trait highly valued in China, but it won't be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program.
20. To compete with American students it's very important to ________.inion of a student who ________.. The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if ________.o give a speech
23.We learn from the second paragraph that ________.le
D.modesty can help you through an American graduate program
24. The passage is mainly developed by ________. figures
D.telling personal experiences
