My house, furniture and everything I’d owned was sold to pay debts that I didn't’ even know I had. In a week I had lost my husband, my home and my parents who had refused to accept a divorce in the family. I’d lost everything except my four teenage children. I used every penny I had to buy five plane tickets from Missouri to Hawaii. Everyone said I was crazy to think I could just go to an island and survive. I was afraid they were right. Knowing that no one in the world was going to help us, I rented a cheap apartment. I worked 18 hours a day and lost 30 pounds because I lived on one meal a day. One night as I walked alone on the beach, I saw the red orange glow of the lave (火山岩) pouring out of Kilarea Volcano in the distance. It was time to live my imagination! The next day I quit my job and invested my last paycheck in art supplies and began doing what I loved. I hadn’t painted a picture in 15 years. I wondered if I could still paint. My hands trembled the first time I picked up a brush. But before an hour had passed, I was lost in the colors spreading across the canvas in front of me. And as soon as I started believing in myself, other people started believing in me, too. The first painting sold for $1,500 before I even had time to frame it. The past six years have been filled with adventures. My children and I have gone swimming with dolphins, watched whales and hiked around the volcano. We wake up every morning with the ocean in front of us and the volcano behind us. The dream I had more than 40 years ago is now reality. I’m living freely and happily ever after. 1.

I worked 18 hours a day and lost 30 pounds because I lived on one meal a day.”可知，作者带着四个孩子去夏威夷 后，没人帮助，住廉价的公寓，一天工作 18 个小时，吃一顿饭，故可推断她去夏威夷为了谋 生。 3、答案解析：答案为 C。本题为推理题。结合全文，作者 50 岁的时候，婚姻瓦解，带着四个 孩子到夏威夷，偶然的机会发现了生财之道，利用自己以前的爱好谋生，自力更生，奋斗不息， 可推断她是位有决心的伟大女性，故 A 选项正确。由作者的经历和最后一段的倒数第二句话 “The dream I had more than 40 years ago is now reality.” 可知，作者一直喜欢绘画， 故 B 选项正确。由最后一段首句 “The past six years have been filled with adventures.” 可推断，作者喜欢冒险生活，故选项 D 正确。 由第三段最后一句话 “The first painting sold for $1,500 before I even had time to frame it.” 可知，作者的第一幅画在抽空上框之前就卖了$1,500，选项 C 与文意不符。故答案为 C。 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 3 4、答案解析：答案为 D。本题考查文章标题。全文描述了作者离婚后去夏威夷如何发现谋生 的机会，如何过上幸福自由的快乐生活。故答案为 D。 2016 高考英语****阅读理解。 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。 In December, 2010, many American newspapers publish a list of the best books of the year. Freedom by Jonathan Franzen is one of the most repeatedly praised books on this year's list of favorites. It tells about the ups and downs of the Berglund family over many years. Mr. Franzen fills the book with sharp observations about American politics, culture and society. Jennifer Egan's book A Visit from the Goon Squad takes place in 13 chapters over 40 years.

Follow your passion. This piece of advice provides the foundation for modern thinking on career satisfaction. But this can be a problem. I've spent the past several years researching and writing about the different 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 5 strategies we use to seek happiness in our work. It became clear early in the process that the suggestion to ” follow your passion" was flawed, for it lacks scientific evidence. However, it doesn't mean you should abandon the goal of feeling passionate about your work. The reality emphasizes that things are quite complicated. Passion is earned. Different people are looking for different things in their work, but generally, people with satisfying careers enjoy some combination of the following features: autonomy，respect，competence，creativity，and a sense of impact. In other words，if you want to feel passionate about your livelihood，don't seek the perfect job，but seek to get more of these features in the job you already have. Passion is elusive (难捉摸的）.Many people develop the rare and valuable skills leading to passion , but still end up unhappy in their work. The problem is that the features leading you to love your work are more likely to be useful to you than your organization. As you become increasingly ‘‘valuable”，for example, your boss might push you toward traditional promotions that come with more pay and more responsibility, as this is what is most useful to your company. However, you might find more passion by applying your value to gain autonomy in your schedule or project selection. Passion is dangerous. I've watched too many of my peers fall into anxiety and chronic job-hoppirig due to the ‘‘follow your passion” advice. The issue is expectations. If you believe we all have a pre-existing passion，and that matching it to a job will lead to instant workplace happiness,reality will always pale in comparison. Work is hard. Not every day is fun. If you're seeking a dream job, you'll end up frustrated, again and again. Don't set out to discover passion. Instead, set out to develop it. This path might be longer and more complicated than what most cheerful career guides might advocate，but it's a path much more likely to lead you somewhere worth going. 67.
