阅读理解。     I got my first driver"s license in 1953 by taking driver education in my first year at Central High School
in charlotte, North Carolina. Four years later when it was time to renew my license I was a married woman

counter my North Catroina driver"s license ready to renew, the man told me that I was under age by Maryland
law since I was not yet 21. "Mr Henry Smith your husband to sign for you," he said.
     I argued, pointing to a very large belly of mine, "I am married. I am having a baby. Why shoud I have to

阅读理解。     Most dog owners feel that their dogs are their best friends. Almost everyone likes dogs because they try
hard to please their owners. One of my favorite stories is about a dog who wanted his owner to please him.
     One of my friends has a large German shepherd (牧羊狗) named Jack. Every Sunday afternoon, my friend
takes Jack for a walk in the park. Jack likes these long walks very much.
     One Sunday afternoon, a young man came to visit my friend. He stayed a long time, and he talked and
talked. Soon it was time for my friend to take Jack for his walk, but the visitor didn"t leave. Jack became very
worried about his walk in the park. He walked around the room several times and then sat down directly in
front of the visitor and looked at him. But the visitor paid no attention. He continued talking. Finally, Jack could
n"t stand it any longer. He went out of the room and came back a few minutes later. He sat down again in front
of the visitor, but this time he held the man"s hat in his mouth.
     German shepherds aren"t the only intelligent dogs. Another intelligent dog is a Seeing Eye dog. This is a
special dog which helps blind people walk along the streets and do many other things. We call these dogs
Seeing Eye dogs because they are the "eye" of the blind people and they help them to "see". Seeing Eye dogs
generally go to special schools for several years to learn to help blind people. 1. The writer tells the story about the dog Jack to show that _____.A. it, like many other dogs, always tried to please its master

     In early autumn I applied for admission to college. I wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell University, but
my mother fought strongly against it. When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports
ground of Cornell, she tore it up.
     "You can"t say it"s not a great university, just because Papa went there."
     "That"s not it at all. And it is a top university." She was still holding the pieces in her hand. "But we can"t
afford to send you to college."
     "I wouldn"t dream of asking you for money. Do you want me to get a job to help support you and Papa?
Things aren"t that bad, are they?"
     "No," she said. "I don"t expect you to help support us."
     Father borrowed money from his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop, His chief customers were
his old college friends. To get new customers, my mother had to help. She picked up a long-forgotten
membership in the local league of women, so that she could get to know more people. Whether those people
would turn into customers was another question. I knew that my Parents had to wait for quite a long time
before their small investment (投资) could show returns. What"s more, they had not wanted enough to be rich
and successful; otherwise they could not possibly have managed their lives so badly.
     I was torn between the desire to help them and change, their lives, and the determination not to repeat their
mistakes. I had a strong belief in my power to go what I wanted. After months of hard study I won a full
college scholarship (奖学金). My father could hardly contain his pride in me, and my mother eventually gave
in before my success.

阅读理解。
In the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am later I am still a bright- eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell. My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at 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 adopt 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 81. 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 talking 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 you"re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you"re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won"t arrive in your life on one day. It"s a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.
