When other nine-year-old kids were playing games, she was working at a petrol station. When other teens were studying or going out, she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street. But she overcame these terrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholarship and gain entry to Harvard University. And her amazing story has inspired a movie, “Homeless to Harvard:The Liz Murray Story” , shown in late April. Liz Murray , a 22-- year-- old American girl, has been writing a real--life story of willpower and determination. Liz grew up in the shadow of two drug--addicted parents. There was never enough food or warm clothes in the house. Liz was the only member of the family who had a job. Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just 15 years old. The effect of that loss became a turning point in her life. Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died, she decided to do something about it. Liz went back to school. She threw herself into her studies, never telling her teachers that she was homeless. At night, she lived on the streets. “What drove me to live on had something to do with understanding, My understanding was that there was a whole other way of being. I had only experienced a small part of society,” she wrote in her book Breaking Night. She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on. She used the benefits that come easily to others, such as a safe living environment, to encourage herself that "next to nothing could hold me down". She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University. But Liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father, who has also developed AIDS. "I love my parents so much. They are drug addicts. But I never forget that they love me all the time." Liz wants moviegoers to come away with the idea that changing your life is "as simple as making a decision". 小题1: The word “setback” in the first paragraph most probably means___________?A.danger | B.difficulty | C.unhappiness | D.disaster | 小题2:What’s the best title of the passage?A.Liz’s Harvard Dream | B.Bitter Childhood of Liz | C.Liz’s Love for Her Parents | D.Liz’s Struggle for Her Life | 小题3:What actually made Liz throw herself into her studies ?A.Her parents’ addiction to drugs | B.Her mother’ s disease | C.Lack of food and clothes | D.Her mother’ s death | 小题4: According to the passage, which is NOT true about Liz? A.strong-- willed | B.envious | C.determined | D.respectful |

Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean. As he got closer he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?” The young man paused, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfish in the ocean.” “I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?” “The sun is up and the tide is going out, and if I don’t throw them in they’ll die.” “But, young man, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!” The young man listened politely, then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves and said, “It made a difference for that one.” There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can know that gift, we will gain through the strength of our visions the power to shape the future. We must each find our starfish. And if we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be better. 小题1: One day, the wise man saw the young man .A.dancing along the beach | B.walking with a dancer | C.picking up starfish for sale | D.trying to save as many starfish as possible | 小题2: Near the end of the passage, “something very special” refers to .A.the gifts from friends | B.the strength of making decision | C.our own starfish | D.the ability of shaping one’s own future | 小题3: From the last two paragraphs, we can learn that .A.the wise man realized something new and important | B.the wise man thought it was foolish of the young man to throw starfish into the ocean | C.the young man had the ability to make a difference | D.it is necessary for us to save starfish on the beach | 小题4: The writer told this story in order to show us .A.how and where we can write a good article | B.everyone can do something for the future | C.wise men are sometimes stupid | D.young people are actually wiser than old people |
