I grew up on a farm outside Port Clinton, Ohio. I was the youngest son, with four brothers and four sisters. By the late 1960s, most of us were married and had families of our own. I worked full time and also had a part-time job on a tree farm.

One day, while I was visiting my parents in late summer or early fall, Dad mentioned he’d always wanted a maple tree for the yard. Mom agreed that it was pretty. Since it was hard for my parents to go shopping, I figured this was a great opportunity to get them something they’d appreciate. I also thought if they wanted one tree, two would be even better. I checked the price at work and decided it was a bit more than I could afford – but all of my brothers and sisters agreed to chip in (凑钱).

In northern Ohio, you don’t plant maple trees at Christmas, so we decided to surprise Mom and Dad with a special Christmas in October before the ground froze. Then my sisters went into action, planning a big holiday turkey dinner.

On the chosen Sunday, we all met at my house and loaded the trees in a pickup truck. I dressed up as Santa Claus. Then off we went, nine cars loaded with people and food. When we arrived at my parents’ house, Dad came out of the back door, thinking something was wrong. He and Mom were amazed when we told them why we were there.

When Christmas rolled around, of course, we couldn’t go to our parents’ house empty handed, so Mom and Dad got double presents that year. Almost half a century later, I still drive by the old farmhouse and smile when I see those big, handsome trees and remember giving a special gift to special people on Christmas in October.

What were the best things about Los Angeles?

One of my favorite things about Los Angeles is the weather. I hate the cold and it never really gets that cold there. Plus, most of the time it’s usually sunny. I also loved going to the beach during the summer. There’s so much to do at the beach, but my favorite thing was going with my friends and having a picnic on the sand.

Where were the worst things about being there?

I definitely disliked that you had to drive everywhere to get around because the city is so spread out. Los Angeles has a ton of traffic and sometimes it takes a long time to get somewhere close by just because the streets are crowed with traffic. Also, a lot of people complain about the pollution.

Was it easy to meet people?

I think people there are pretty nice in general, but normally you only meet people through school or through work. I went to school there so that’s how I met most of my friends. I guess you could also try meeting people by going out to clubs or bars.

What did you usually do there?

If I was with my friends, we’d go out to dinner, see a movie, or sometimes go out to a club. There’s always something to see or do in Los Angeles whether it’s a museum exhibit or a concert, so we were rarely bored.

Many people have gotten pretty good at showing their best side on camera.

Three years since Oxford Dictionaries named it “word of the year”, the selfie has already become an important part of online culture. But in Asian countries like China, Japan and South Korea, many people won’t post pictures on social media without editing their faces with photo editing apps such as Meitu Xiuxiu.

According to The Telegraph newspaper, these hugely successful, homegrown photo editing apps specially focus on two clear psychologies (心理) of Asian users, and in particular, women: the eagerness to post selfies and the desire to look whiter than they really are.

As the US style website Mic put it, “What actually makes a good selfie comes from what we consider beautiful, and that is greatly different by culture.”

Photo editing apps play to Asian women’s dreams of achieving a more “Westernized” look that comes from having a more oval-shaped (瓜子形的) face, whiter skin and bigger eyes.

With the slide of a finger, the apps let them change their faces, just like they are having plastic surgery (整容).

Without a doubt, editing facial characteristics with an app has become something that people do for fun, and it isn’t harmful in most cases. But it is important to know that “the gap between reality and our online lives is widening as we sit on our phones playing plastic surgeon”, The Telegraph noted.

Growing up in one of the poorest communities on the south side of Atlanta, US, not many people expected much of me, so I had to expect something of myself.

On my 13th birthday, I bought a poster of Harvard to hang in my room. Being at Harvard became what I dreamt about: I saw myself attending class in Sanders Theater, studying in Widener Library and eating in Annenberg Hall. I’d begin my day by asking myself these two questions: “What do I want in my life?” and, “Are the things I am doing today going to get me closer to that life?”

Reminding myself of my goal each day made it easy to say no to the same choices I saw other teenagers making, because those paths wouldn’t have gotten me closer to my goal. I found that being poor could not take away my power to decide what I choose to do with my day. Asking myself those questions gave me the energy to study just one more hour on my SATs when my friends were asleep; and it gave me the determination to send just one more scholarship application when 180 others had already turned me down.

Every day I could feel myself getting closer and closer to my goal as my writing got better, my SAT score increased, and my scholarship checks started coming in. March 31st, 2011, an email arrived from Harvard. The first word was “Congratulations!” A month later, Harvard invited me to visit the campus where for the first time I got to see inside Sanders Theater, tour Widener Library and eat dinner in Annenberg Hall.

Who you are today is the result of the decisions you made yesterday, and who you will be tomorrow will be the result of the choices you make today. Who do you want to be tomorrow?

【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文,描述了作者使人生活在贫穷地区,但没有放弃梦想,最后取得了成功。

32. What does Paragraph 1 infer? ( )

AThe city of Atlanta is not a good place to live in.

BMany people believe that the writer will succeed.

CThe author grew up in the north side of Atlanta.

DLiving in a poor area didn’t stop her dreaming.

33. Which was the writer’s goal of working hard? ( )

ABeing admitted to Harvard.

BAttending class in Sanders Theater.

CStudying in Widener Library.

DEating dinner in Annenberg Hall.

34. Which didn’t help the writer stick to her goal? ( )

AAsking herself two questions every day.

BTouring in the Harvard campus.

CReminding herself of her dream.

DRefusing to do what she shouldn’t do.

35. What can we learn from the writer’s experience? ( )

ASuccess starts with believing in yourself.

BYou’ll never regret doing the right thing.

CWho you are begins with what you do.

DYou’re responsible for your own actions.

One morning last week I looked out of my study window and saw that it was a fine day. No, it was a wonderful day: the sun shone down from a sky without even a single cloud.

But later that day, hard at work at my desk, I heard a loud noise on the roof. Turning to the window, I saw that the sky was now the color of charcoal (木炭). Two minutes later the rain poured, making rivers of water.

_ It’s extremely variable (易变的). Go ahead with your picnic in the local park by all means, but don’t suppose that because the sun is shining now, it will be when you open your pack of sandwiches. _

The weather in Britain is not always bad. _ This is one of the biggest reasons why the British talk so often about the weather. Wherever there are strangers standing or sitting close together, and talk cannot be avoided, the conversation focuses on the weather: “Yes, the weather has been good, hasn’t it?” or “_

The unexpected change of the weather is something that every British can agree on. _ Even those with different opinions on everything else in the world, such as the current argument in the UK about membership of the European Union, can talk about the weather without leading to a quarrel.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了英国天气多变和英国人为什么多谈论天气的原因。

AIt is just changeable.

BThat makes it a safe topic of conversation.

CYou’d better take an umbrella, just in case.

DWhat shocking weather we’ve been having!

EStrangers will choose to talk about the weather to break the ice.

FThis story will give you some idea about weather in Britain.

GAre you going for a picnic?
