3、Someone asked me this week if I thought we really can have "at all". My immediate answer was "of course", but after thinking it over, I concluded that it depends on a lot of things. In my opinion, the answer of whether or not you can have "it all" has to vary from person to person because we are all so different, and everyone has a differing definition (定义)of "it all". In fact, I believe that even the same individual’s definition of "it all" varies over their life. Most babies believe they have "it all" when they are in the arms of their mommy enjoying a good meal. That’s all it takes! But, as that baby matures, their definitions become more complex, and finding "it all" becomes increasingly a private matter.

I have learned a lot of important life lessons during my search to have "it all". It began in Junior High School, when to have "it all" meant having my own room, getting HBO, and being on the "A" volleyball team at school. And, yes, I achieved those goals and had "it all". At least for a little while. Because the first lesson I learned about having "it all" is that as soon as you get "it all", you want more!

In High School, I thought I only needed one thing to have "it all". I wanted so badly to be a member of the Madrigal Singers, a famous choir sponsored by our school. I finally worked up the nerve to audition(试唱), despite the fact that no one had ever told me I had a special singing talent of that my voice was unique. At least, until my audition, when the director of the choir had no problem telling me how LITTLE talent I had! When I didn’t make the choir, I learned that if my definition of having "it all" means having something that isn’t a god-given gift, I will always be defeated. If, however, I choose to pursue goals that fit with the talents I have, the chance to have "it all" is unlimited!

1.What is mainly discussed in the passage?

       A.How we can have "it all".

       B.Everyone has a differing definition of "it all".

       C.The author’s own experience in having "it all".

       D.Whether we can have "it all" depends on a lot of things.

2.What can we conclude from the second paragraph?

       A.People just can’t get satisfaction from having "it all".

       B.People can have "it all" only when all the goals are met.

       C.It is hard to get a permanent sense of having "it all".

       D.It is easy for the young to get a feeling of having "it all".

3.By his experience of audition for the choir, the author intends to tell us          .

       A.one shouldn’t be discouraged if one fails in having "it all".

       B.having "it all" can’t go beyond one’s own talents

       C.one’s chance of having "it all" is unlimited

       D.having "it all" is just a beautiful fantasy

4.The author believes that           .

       A.the same person always has the same definition of having "it all"

       B.different people have a different definition of having "it all"

       C.not all people can have "it all"

       D.having "it all" takes treat efforts

5.We can infer from the passage that             .

       A.the author has had "it all" in his life

       B.the author doesn’t believe that people can have "it all"

       C.the author has a better idea of having "it all" than before

       D.having "it all" doesn’t have anything to do with one’s age

Dear Sir or Madam, www.jk.zy.w.com
I see your advertisement in a student magazine and I’m interesting to know more about your diving courses. First of all, I should explain that although I can swim I’m not very confident in the water. But you mentioned your advertisement that your instructors are full qualified. Thus I believe they’ll be able to teach someone as me to dive. I have one week’s holiday in the three week of June and would like to know that if there’s a course running at that time. How much does a week’s course worth? Finally, if I decide to go ahead, are there any special equipment I need to buy or is everything provided by your company?
I am looking forward to hear from you.
Sincerely yours,
Tom

Jascha Richter once sang “don't need too much talking without saying anything” to reveal his lonely feeling in a crowd.

   Dad always told me never to ever reveal my true opinions towards other people if such opinions are negative. He said this is the “Chu Shi Zhe Xue”, the philosophy of dealing with social network.

   It seems that everybody here just follows this philosophy very, very well.

   Friends. I would say that if I were given true friendship I would definitely treasure it with my greatest care. If I really regard someone as my close friend, I would never leave her alone whenever she's in need, either financially or mentally. And I always believe, as long as I treat people with whole-hearted honesty, I would have some rewards—at least, just ONE true friend of the same gender(性别).

    Sometimes I just miss my friends in China. Perhaps when we became friends, we were still young, too young to have been polluted by any dirt in the society. But here, it is simply different. It seems that all of us have learnt how to SURVIVE in a foreign land and such an experience actually makes us learn how to extract (榨取) the most benefits from the surroundings in order to survive.

   All are friends around me. I've looked through all the dark sides of their personalities and yet I have to pretend that I know nothing. THEY ARE GOOD. THEY ARE GOOD. AND WE ARE FRIENDS. And then I can make myself comfortable enough to talk to people I hate the most. And of course, they don't say any words truly from their hearts. Neither do I.

   But, sometimes I just feel unwilling to talk to these people. Sometimes, I just want to be alone, quietly, without being forced to listen to their gossip or other useless words.

   “Standing on a mountain high

Looking at the moon through a clear blue sky

I should go and see some friends         

But they don't really comprehend”

    Jascha Richter expresses my feelings also.

67. What do we know about the writer’s father according to this passage?

A. He is really a good philosopher.                          

B. He possibly gets on well with others.

C. He told the writer to reveal her true opinions.       

D. The passage doesn’t tell us at all.

68. What’s the most probable reason the writer mentions Jascha Richter’s song twice in the passage?

A. She likes Jascha Richter’s song.

B. Jascha Richter is one of her friends.

C. The song expresses her feelings.

D. She uses it to perfects her article.

69. Which of the following statements about the writer is TRUE?

  A. She is now living abroad but doesn’t enjoy the life there.

  B. She absolutely believes in her father’s philosophy.

  C. She shows a positive attitude towards her relationship with others.

  D. She thinks highly of her friends by repeating “They are good”.

70. The writer mostly expresses her ______ in this passage.

A. happiness      B. homesickness    C. sadness           D. loneliness

On October 23, 2011, David Pologruto, a high school physics teacher, was stabbed (刺) by his smart student Jason Haffizulla. Jason got straight A’s and was determined to study medicine at Harvard, yet this was his downfall. His physics teacher gave Jason a B, a mark Jason believed would undermine (损害) his entrance to Harvard. After receiving his B, Jason took a butcher knife to school and stabbed his physics teacher.
How can someone as smart as Jason do something so dumb? Studies show there is little or no correlation between IQ and emotional intelligence.
During my early university years, I regarded myself as an intelligent guy. I got good marks in mathematics, physics, and other subjects. I thought such skills would surely give me a bright future. After one year of study with decent marks, I began to see two major classes of students. The first category of students turned up to few lectures, partied every weekend, enjoyed a great social life, and did minimal work to pass courses. The second category of students were intelligent and hard workers who got good grades and were very focused on their studies. Surely would these intelligent and hard-working students find the great jobs before the other lazier class of students?
Not so. Students are often shocked upon graduation that their qualifications are not as important as they once thought. Graduates enter the workforce only to realize that co-workers hate them and less intelligent people are the ones receiving promotions.
Educational skills are useless in some industries when interpersonal skills are absent. You can have great ideas, theories, and solve complex problems, but if you cannot effectively communicate in a persuasive and exciting manner by relating to your fellow humans, you will face an uphill battle in whatever challenges you encounter. It’s not that people dislike you because of your intelligence; it’s that people dislike you because you’re rude and not understanding. The intelligent person with poor communication skills is insensitive or unaware of others’ emotions.
【小题1】Jason Haffizulla stabbed his physics teacher because       .

A.he was unfairly treated by his teacher
B.he was disappointed with his downfall
C.he was not smart enough at studies
D.he got a worse mark than usual
【小题2】We can infer from the third paragraph that the author        in his early university years.
A.didn’t think communication skills were as important as intelligence
B.didn’t work hard
C.belonged to the first category of students
D.could keep a balance between social life and studies
【小题3】Intelligent people are hated because       .
A.they can solve more complex problems
B.they can’t settle the challenges they meet
C.they are envied for their intelligence
D.they are not understanding enough
【小题4】The main purpose of the text is to tell us       .
A.the relationship between IQ and emotional intelligence
B.what kind of students can succeed in college
C.smart people may have poorer communication skills
D.intelligent students will meet more challenges at work
