though, with an iq of 150 at 17, im anything but stupid. the fact was that i was found to have adiid(注意力缺陷多动障碍). anxious all the time, i was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time. however, when something did interest me, i could become absorbed. in high school, i became curious about the computer, and built my first website. moreover, i completed the senior course of computer basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses. while i was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. i wanted to go to college after high school, but couldnt . so, i was killing my time at home until june 2012 when i discovered the online computer courses of your training center. since then, i have taken courses like data science and advanced mathematics. currently, im learning your probability course. i have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your video. this has given me a purpose. last year, i spent all my time looking for a job where, without dealing with the public , i could work alone, but still have a team to talk to. luckily, i discovered the jobdata analystthis month and have been going full steam ahead. i want to prove that i can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors. thank you. youve given me hope that i can follow my heart. for the first time, i feel good about myself because im doing something, not because someone told me i was doing good. i feel whole. this is why youre saving my life. yours, tanis21.why didt tanis go to college after high school? a. she had learned enough about computer science b. she had more difficulty keeping foucesed c. she preferred taking online courses d. she was too slow to learn22.as for the working environment, tains prefers_. a .working by herself b. dealing with the public c. competing against others d. staying with adhd students23.tanis wrote this letter in order to_. a. explain why she was interested in the computer b. share the ideas she had for her profession c .show how grateful she was to the center d. describe the courses she had taken so farb“did you hear what happened to adam last friday?” lindsey whipers to tori. with her eyes shining, tori brags，“you bet i did, sean told me two days ago.” who are lindsey and tori talking about? it just happened to be yours truly, adam freedmam, i can tell you that what that what they are saying is (a) not nice and (b) not even true. still, lindsey and tori arent very different from most students here at linton higt school, including me. many of our conversations are gossip(闲话)。i have noticed three effects of gossip: it can hurt people, it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in a group.an important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. usually, gossip spreads information about a topic-breakups, trouble at home, even dropping out-that a person would rather keep secret. the more embarrassing or shameful the secret is, the juicier the gossip it makes. probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie. people ofen think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain. if we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? the answer lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction it gives us. sharing the latest rumor(传言)can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others dont. similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group.” in other words, gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority(优越感). gossip also can have a third effect :it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. professor david wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group. translated into high school terms, this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what john wore or what jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention. the dos and donts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook. the effects of gossip vary depending on the situation. the next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, thing about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story” might have.24.the author uses a conversation at the beginning of the passage to _ .a. introduce a topic b. present an argumentc. describe the characters d. clarify his writing purpose25.an important negative effects of gossip is that it _ .a. breaks up relationships b. embarrasses the listenerc. spreads information around d. causes unpleasant experiences26.in the authers opinion, many people like to gossip because it_ .a. gives them a feeling of pleasure b. help them to make more friendsc. makes them better at telling stories d. enables them to meet important people27.professor david wilson think that gossip can _ .a. provide students with written rules b. help people watch their own behaviorsc. force school to impove student handbooks d. attract the polices attention to group behaviors28.what advice does the author give in the passage?a. never become a gossiper b. stay away from gossipersc. dont let gossip turn into lies d. think twice before you gossip.cif you are hungry, what will you do? grab a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? just like stomach, even your mind will be hungry. but it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover, favorite star and many such absurd things. so it silently begins to hide your needs and never lets itself grow. when mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity gets its full stop. this might be the reason why we all sometimes think “what happens next?”, “why cant i think?”, “why am i always given the difficult problems?” well, this is the result of using our own karma(宿命)of using our brain for thinking of not-so-worthy things.hunger of the mind can be actually satisfied through extensive reading. but why is it reading but not watching tv? because reading has been the most educational tool used by us right from the childhood. just like that to develop other aspects of our life, we have to turn to reading for help. you have a number of books in the world which will answer all your “how-to” questions. once you read a book, you just dont run your eyes through the lines, but your mind decodes it and explains it to you. the interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed. now this seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas. the same seed, if used many times, can help you link and relate a lot of things, which you would never thought of in your wildest dreams! this is nothing but creativity. the more books you read, the wider your mind will become. also this improves your speech-making skills to a large extent and also makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary. when you start speaking english or any other language fluently with your friends or other people, you never seem to run out of the right words at the right time.actually, i had a problem in speaking english fluently, but as i read, i could improve significantly. so guys, do join me and give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. now what are you waiting for? go, grab a book and let me know!29. what does the author mean by saying that our mind is hungry?a. we dont read books b. our creativity gets a full stop.c. we dont know what to do next d. we dont have a good memory30. ones mind is hungry because it_a. is mentally busy with many absurd things b. cant work out things wellc. loosens its freedom to forget d. begins to pay careful attention to his needs31. which of the following is not the advantage of reading?a. helping you enlarge your vocabulary b. helping you develop your creativityc. helping you improve your speaking skills. d. helping you run your eyes through the lines.32. by reading more, we are sure to_a. speak english fluently b. store books in
