My daughter Kelly is a cautious person. She needs to warm up to situations, and is hesitant(犹豫的) to try new things. When with close friends, she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants. But when that comfort zone is not around her, she is shy and nervous.
This has been challenging for me at times. “Shy” is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me. But this has been a year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane (习泳区） in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels. And this year she completed her first kids’ triathlon (三项全能).
On Saturday, with a thunderstorm coming soon and my son’s birthday party later in the day, we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her, we got all the equipment she'd need, and we kept talking about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn, she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times. She was nervous but trying to keep it together.
And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water, my heart soared. My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen. She dominated （主宰） that swim, crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.
I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasn’t because she did a sport or anything like that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn't seen before.
All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling. She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day. I won the chance to see my girl shine. Shine on, sweet baby.

A “smart drug” taken by students to improve their performance really does work, scientists have found.
The drug modafinil（莫达非尼） is currently used to treat sleep disorder, but it is widely used off-label by students to help them revise for exams or focus on long essays.
Until now, there has been a lack of clear evidence over whether it can actually boost concentration and alertness. But a new analysis of the research revealed it does improve planning and decision making, flexibility, learning and memory, and even creativity.
The findings raise serious ethical(处方的，道德的) questions about whether modafinil should be “classified, tolerated or condemned”, scientists said.
Professor Guy Goodwin, President of the European College said: “It’s the first real example of a ‘smart drug’, which can genuinely help, for example, with exam preparation.”
Previous ethical discussions around smart drugs assumed major effects of the drugs before 
it was clear that there were any, he added.
He continued “If correct, the present update means the ethical debate is real: how should we classify, tolerate or condemn a drug that improves human performance?”[
A fifth of university students across the country claim to have taken smart drugs, according to surveys by student newspaper The Tab.
And the use of modafinil is most widespread at Oxford University, where a quarter of students have reported to have used it.
Over the years, universities have discussed how best to respond to the use of smart drugs, and some have suggested Olympic-style doping tests for students sitting exams.
Professor Goodwin said there should be a society-wide debate on how modafinil should be licenced and regulated, as well as what universities should do ab
out its use.
He said: “Regulation has been and remains uncertain. We cannot know either if demand for modafinil in the same societies will actually be significant, whether society will be more accepting and how regulation will then be framed.”
1.Who are likely to turn to the “smart drug” modafinil?
A. Children who lack strength.
B. Students who have poor memory.
C. Old people who have poor sight.
D. Patients who have a heart disease.
2.Why does the writer refer to the students of Oxford University?
A. To show smart drugs enjoy popularity among college students.
B. To prove Oxford University students suffer from a heavy load.
C. To tell us smarts drugs use have spread to England.
D. To explain why Oxford University students are clever.
3.What is the topic of passage?
A. “Smart drugs” also have side effects.
B. Students are addicted to “smart drugs”.
C. A “Smart drug” raises ethical questions.
D. A more effective “smart drags” should be developed.
4.What does Professor Goodwin think of ‘smart drug’ modafinil?
A. Modafinil used as a ‘smart drug’ should be forbidden.
B. Regulation on modafinil remains to be discussed.
C. Our society should accept the use of modafinil.
D. Regulation on modafinil being used as a “smart drug” is necessary.
