Since finishing my studies at Harvard and Oxford. I’ve watched one friend after another land high-ranking, high-paying Wall Street jobs. As executives(高级管理人员) with banks, consulting firms, established law firms, and major corporations, many are now
21
on their way to impressive careers. By society’s
22
, they seem to have it made.
On the surface, these people seem to be very lucky in life. As they left student life behind, many had a
23
drink at their cheap but friendly local bar, shook hands with Longtime roommates, and
24
out of small apartments into high buildings. They made reservations at restaurants where the cost of a bottle of wine
25
a college year’s monthly rent. They replaced their beloved old car with expensive new sports cars.
The thing is, a number of them have
26
that despite their success, they aren’t happy. Some
27
of unfriendly coworkers and feel sad for eight-hour workweeks devoted to tasks they
28
. Some do not respect the companies they work for and talk of feeling tired and
29 . However, instead of devoting themselves to their work, they find themselves working to support the
30
to which they have so quickly become
31 .
People often speak of trying a more satisfying path, and
32
the end the idea of leaving, their jobs to work for something they
33
or finding a position that would give them more time with their families almost always leads them to the same conclusion; it’ s
34
. They have loans, bills, a mortgage（抵押贷款）to
35
, retirement to save for. They recognize there’s something
36
in their lives, but it’s
37
to step off the track.
In a society that tends to
38
everything in terms of dollars and cents, we learn form a young age to consider the costs of our
39
in financial terms. But what about the personal and social costs
40
in pursuing money over meaning? These are exactly the kinds of us tend to ignore — and the very ones we need to consider most.

I used to believe in the American Dream, which meant a job, a mortgage (按揭), credit cards, success. I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us
36
chasing the same thing.
One year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell
37
. I found myself homeless and alone. I had my truck and $ 56. I
38
the countryside for some place I could rent for the
39
possible amount. I came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road
40
the Potomac River in West Virginia. It was
41
, full of broken glass and rubbish. I found the owner, rented it, and
42
a corner to camp in.
The locals knew nothing about me,
43
slowly, they started teaching me the
44
of being a neighbor. They dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began
45
around to chat. They started to teach me a belief in a
46
American Dream—not the one of individual achievement but of
47
.
What I had believed in, all those things I thought were
48
for a civilized life, were nonexistent in this place.
49
on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my
50
with my neighbors.
Four years later, I moved back into
51
. I saw many people were having a really hard time,
52
their jobs and homes. I managed to rent a big enough house to
53
a handful of people. There are four of us now in the house, but over time I’ve had nine people come in and move on to other places. We’d all be in
54
if we hadn’t banded together.
The American Dream I believe in now is a shared one. It’s not so much about what I can get for myself; it’s about
55
we can all get by together.

A Leap（跳跃）to Honor
Leaping on a narrow balance beam（平衡木） is not easy. But Lola Walter, a 13-year-old gymnast, is an expert at it.
To perfect her skills, Lola
36
for four hours a day, five days a week. At the state championships in March, she finished seventh out of 16 girls.
That’s especially impressive,
37
she is legally blind, born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift constantly. She often sees double and can’t _38
how far away things are.
When she was little, her mom
39
that even though she couldn’t see
40
, she was fearless. So her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the
41
right away and gymnastics became her favorite.
Though learning gymnastics has been more
42
for her than for some of her tournaments, she has never quit. She doesn’t let her _43
stop her from doing anything that she wants to.
She likes the determination it takes to do the sport. Her biggest
44_ is the balance beam. Because she has double vision, she often sees two beams. She must use her sense of touch to help her during her routine. Sometimes she even closes her eyes. “You have to
45_ your mind that it’ll take you where you want to go,” says Lola.
To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most
46
for anyone because it’s four inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didn’t fall
47
the beam. In fact, she got an 8.1 out of 10---- her highest score yet.
Lola doesn’t want to be
48
differently from the other girls on her team. At the competitions, the judges don’t know about her vision _49 _. She doesn’t tell them, because she doesn’t think they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her _50
attitude.
Lola never thinks about
51__. She is presently at level 7 while the highest is level 10 in gymnastics. Her
52
is to reach level 9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to pass down what she’s learned to other kids
53
she grew up.
Lola is
54
of all her hard work and success. She says it’s helped her overcome problems in her life outside gymnastics, too. Her
55
for others is “just believe yourself”.

"Look, it's Baldy!" A boy shouted in my direction across the playground. Even though I was used to regular insults(侮辱) because of the
11
on my head, it was
12
horrible to hear. I sighed as I headed back to the class.
When I was just 20 months old, I suffered serious
13
after a bowl full of hot oil fell on my head. I was
14
to hospital and had to stay there for weeks while the doctors
15
to save my life. "Holly's very
16
to be alive," they told Mum and Dad. "But she'll be
17
with scars on her head, and of course her hair won't grow there."
As a child, I cared much about my scars, so I
18
wore a scarf to cover them up when I left home.
19
I didn't, people would call me horrible names like Baldy. Although my friends were always comforting me, they never
20
understood how it felt.
Then through the hospital I was
21
to a children's burns camp, where children like me can get any help. There, I
22
14-year-old Stephanie, whose burns are a lot more serious than mine. But she is so
23
that she never lets anyone put her down. "You shouldn't
24
what people say about what you look like because we're not different from anyone else, Holly," she
25
me. "And you don't need to wear a scarf because you look great
26
it!" For the first time in my life I could speak to someone who'd been through something
27
. So weeks later, at my 13th birthday party,
28
by her bravery, I gave up my scarf and showed off my scars. It felt amazing not having to
29
away behind my scarf.
Now, I am
30
of what I look like and much happier, because I have realized it is your personality（个性）that decides who you truly are.

after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy
39
because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the
40
to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “
41
for
it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.
Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the
42
of it! When I first started
43
the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much
44
what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get
45
and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid.
46
, I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to
47
on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t
48
“just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the
49
and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive
50
in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the
51
— friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
With my
52
self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from
“53”
in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself,
54
raising my hand— even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent
55
I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.

48. A. want
B. do
C. support
D. know
【答案】D
【解析】考查动词辨析。修饰后句“just yet”（恰好现在），那么我不满现状而加倍努力训练，现在又说恰好现在的状态我不对自己太过苛责，那么首先可排除“支持”，无关选项；而因为我在发奋努力训练，现在“想要”或者“支持”的东西自然是要严格要求的，那么排除A、B，最终选择D，不对自己恰在此时知道的东西过多苛责。
49. A. steps
B. orders
C. rules
D. games
【答案】C
【解析】考查名词辨析。前文叙述我连规则都不知道，于是发奋练球的直接结果就是知道了规则并且已经知道了动作。50. A. roles
B. part
C. mind
D. value
【答案】B
【解析】考查名词与形容词competitive及动词词组win over(争取到)相关联，那么首先可排除D，竞争与价值不能匹配；而我的竞争绝不是一个“角色”那么简单，也不仅存于“思想”，于是选择B。51. A. process
B. operation
C. movement
D. situation
【答案】A
【解析】考查名词辨析。破折号的作用是解释说明，那么知道尊重我的努力的朋友一定是看到我的成长的朋友，也即我在这个过程中认识的朋友，于是选择A。

chat with a stranger. But a change, no matter how
