I took all the advanced classes and tried to do well in the exams with my mind set on going to a key school. I just knew that I would somehow become famous and be able to afford the car and the dream house. All the way through junior years, my mind was planning this beautiful future.‎ Then in the eleventh grade, many losses changed my mind. First, one of my friends died at 16. Soon after, my great-grandmother passed away, followed by my beloved fourth-grade teacher. These events left me not knowing what to do or where to go. Death had never touched me so closely.‎ After a long period of emptiness, it finally struck me: Life is not promised and neither is future success. Though I was attempting to achieve material success, I was ‎ not enjoying my daily life. I realized that finding inner peace, purpose and happiness will stick with me forever and that is real success.‎ Enjoying life’s precious quirks (偶发事件) makes an ordinary person more successful than a wealthy person who isn’t content and takes everything for granted. The summer before senior years, my attitude changed greatly. Instead of memorizing facts, I began learning skills. Instead of focusing on the future, I focused on today and the many blessings and successes that came with it.‎ I still get excellent grades, but now I devote weeks to studying instead of struggling for exams, and I think about the future with a deeper sense of meaning. For me, being successful means truly living life each day.‎ ‎4. The reason why the author changed his idea of success is that ________. ‎ A. he can’t afford his house ‎ B. he lost a few beloved persons in a short time C. he didn’t know what to do or where to go ‎ D. his beloved teacher died ‎5. According to the author, which of the following is the real success for a person?‎ A. Being famous. B. Material achievements.‎ C. Good car and big house. D. Truly living life each day.‎ ‎6. What does the author want to tell the readers?‎ A. His opinion about success. B. The true meaning of studying.‎ C. How to achieve success. D. The true meaning of life.‎ ‎7. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?‎ A. He didn’t want to take all the exams.‎ B. His teacher died before the death of his great-grandma.‎ C. The author didn’t do well in all the exams. ‎ D. The author thinks that success is not promised.‎ ‎ ‎ C ‎ More students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年) before going to university. It used to be the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year ‎ phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.‎ This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).‎ That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.‎ But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship – young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to￡15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacating periods,” he said.‎ ‎8. What do we learn about the gap year from the text?‎ A.It is flexible(灵活的) in length. B.It is a time for relaxation C.It is increasingly popular D.It is required by universities ‎9. According to Tony Higgins, students taking a gap year ____.‎ A. are better prepared for college studies B. know a lot more about their future job C. are more likely to leave university in debt D. have a better chance to enter top universities ‎10. How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?‎ A.He’s puzzled B.He’s worried C.He’s surprised D.He’s annoyed ‎11.What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?‎ A.Attend additional courses. B.Make plans for the new term C.Earn money for their education D.Prepare for their graduate studies ‎ ‎ D Two of the saddest words in the English language are“if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they express regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment. My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right”. I always try to live by the “ extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment，whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫)onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table. I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you” . When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday，I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he’ 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all. I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that possibility. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional happiness. 12. Which of the following is an example of the extra minute rule?                A. Start the car the moment everyone is seated.    B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.       C. Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.    D. Move an object out of the way before it trips someone. 13.The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to               ‎ A. keep her appointment with the eye doctor        ‎ ‎ B. meet her father who was already an old man. C. join in the holiday celebration of the company               D. finish her work before the deadline approached.  14.The underlined word foregone in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to             A. abandoned               B. lacked    C. avoided             D. wasted   15.What is the author's attitude to the words "if only"?                     A. Positive            B. Doubtful           C. Indifferent D. Negative 第二节 阅读填空（每小题2分, 共10分）.‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Interruptions are one of the worst things to deal with while you’re trying to get work done. 16 , there are several ways to handle things.
