My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college an the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait. Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic-and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy. You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo-a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester. The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when youre looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when youre in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want wont arrive in your life on one day. Its a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.21. When the author went to the University of North Carolina 21years ago , her dream was to be_ A. a writer B. a teacher C. a judge D. a doctor22. Why did the author quit school in her second year of college?A. She wanted to study by herself. B. She fell in love and got married.C. She suffered from a serious illness. D. She decided to look after her grandma. 23. What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?A. She was busy yet happy with her family life.B. She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.C. She wanted to remain a full-time housewife.D. She was too confused to make a correct choice.24.Which of the following can best describe the author ?A. Caring and determined.

Software Trainer CAlthough being famous might sound like a dream come true, todays star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the worlds attention. Paparazzi(狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids(小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature. The history of tracking(跟踪) famous people has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy（隐私）. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do. Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever. If fame is so troublesome, why arent all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place. 28. It can be learned from the paragraph 1 that stars today .A. are often misunderstood by the publicB. are difficult to have their privacy(隐私) protectedC. spend too much on their public appearanceD. care little about how they have come into fame29. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.B. The problem faced by famous people has a long history.C. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.30. What makes it much harder to be a public figure today?A. Widespread use of modern media. B. Lack of social attention.C. Lack of good chances. D. Huge population of fans.IV完形填空（共20小题，每小题1分，满分20分） When I was 7 years old , one night, my mother gently asked me a question I would never forget. “Sweetie, my company wants to 31 me but needs me to work in Brazil. This is like your teacher telling that youve done 32 and allowing you to skip a grade(跳级), but youll have to 33 your friends. Would you say yes to your teacher?” She gave me a hug and asked me to think about it. I was puzzled. The question kept me 34 for the rest of the night.

Get out of your comfort zoneWe eagerly accept the familiar and fear the unknown. Break out of your usual patterns and welcome creativity into your life. As stated earlier, the human brain was designed to recognize patterns. 52 In fact, our comfort zone is nothing more than a collection of patterns. As we become more efficient at recognizing and using patterns, we rely less on creativity to find new paths. We should force ourselves out of our comfort zones and open up new possibilities.2. Try different thingsIf you always do what youve always done, youll always get what youve always got. We are creatures of habits and routines, and creativity hates routines. If you usually drive to work, take the subway for a few days. 53 Interrupt your routine, experiment and try something new. New things are often creative, but the same old
