In 46 , and most other developing countries, going to university offers a route to a 47 future.

But it is not good to escape from problems by giving up or by making excuses for failures. You may be sure that all young people go through the same difficult process that you are going through: meeting new situations, developing new skills, and testing their abilities.If you are unhappy about something, face it. Try to state the problem in a few words, so that you will know exactly what you are up against. Then see if you can “put your finger” on the cause of your unhappiness. In many cases, we only “think” there is no solution to a particular problem. But often we can overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack.For example, a boy wanted to be a debater (辩论家). When he tried out for the debating team as a freshman, the coach thought he was hopeless. He was shy; he had a high-pitched voice; and his posture (体态) was poor. Although he was given little hope of success, he took advantage of every opportunity to debate. He studied successful speakers and sized up his own weaknesses and assets. Then he spent many hours learning all the facts on the topics for debate, and worked at developing good posture and at speaking clearly. By his junior year, he made the school debating team, and in his senior year he was on the winning team in his state. He achieved his goal because he had made a direct attack upon his problem.Although direct attack is often the best way to meet problems, we have to be realistic in judging situations. Sometimes it is necessary to change the tactics (策略) or the goal .A girl who has plain features may decide that she cannot win popularity with her face, and so she may try to develop an interesting personality, which eventually will get her much further. In this situation, she must change her method of achieving her goal.So, although direct attack is often the best way to handle problems, it is important to study the situation and make a wise decision about what to do.60. What is the main idea discussed in the first paragraph? A. Giving up a puzzling problem.B. Escaping from problems by making excuses for failures. C. Going through the same difficult process. D. Testing peoples abilities.61. The phrase “are up against” in the second paragraph could best be replaced by _. A. are fond ofB. are faced with C. met withD. looked at 62. By taking example from the boy who wanted to be a debater, the author means _. A. you are going through new situations, developing new skills, and testing their abilities B. we can overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack C. it is necessary to change either the tactics or the goal D. it is important to study the situation and make a wise decision about what to do63. Which of the following is the topic sentence of the text? A. It is not good to escape from problems by giving up or by making excuses for failures. B. If you are unhappy about something, face it, and try to state the problem in a few words. C. Although direct attack is often the best way to meet problems, we have to be realistic in judging situations. D. Although direct attack is often the best way to handle problems, it is important to study the situation and make a wise decision about what to do.CRead a whole book in English? Me?Yes, you. Believe it or not that may be easier than you think. Not all classics are too difficult or complicated. So youre not limited to simplified versions (简写本). And the easier books are not for young children.Books in their original versions (原著) may send you to the dictionary. And you might not understand everything you read. But reading one from cover to cover will give you a real sense of accomplishment. The key is to find the right books. Lets take a look at these.The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (C.S. Lewis)Stepping into an old wardrobe, four English schoolchildren find themselves in the magical world of Narnia. In this delightful land, they find friends among the many talking creatures.The children soon discover, however, that Narnia is ruled by the White Witch. Edmund, one of the children, falls under her power. Who can free Narnia? Only Aslan, the great and noble lion. He alone knows the Deeper Magic. But the children themselves must help fight the battle against the White Witch and those who save her.The Old Man and the Sea (Ernest Hemingway)Santiago, an old Cuban fisherman, hasnt caught any fish in more than 80 days. Sailing far out from land, the old man hooks an enormous fish. That begins an agonizing three-day battle. First he struggles against the great fish. Then he must fight off the sharks that circle the little boat and threaten to eat his fish. Exhausted and bleeding, the old man arrives back at shore. But his fish, his beautiful fishHemingway won the Pulitzer Prize for this superb story of strength and courage, of victory and regret.A Wrinkle in Time (Madeleine Lingle)Megs father, a US government scientist, has been missing for many months. He had been experimenting with time travel when he mysteriously disappeared.Now Meg, her little brother Charles Wallace and her friend Calvin will try to rescue him. But first they must outwit the forces of evil they encounter on their journey through time and space. Can they find Megs father before it is too late?This novel is more than just a science-fiction adventure. Its an exploration of the nature of our universe.The Pearl (John Steinbeck)One day Kino, a poor Mexican pearl diver, finds a magnificent pearl. With it he dreams of buying a better life, new clothes and schooling for his son. Instead it brings only evil. His wife pleads with him to get rid of it. “No,” says Kino. “I will have my chance. I am a man.” But when he kills a man who is trying to steal the pearl, Kino and his wife must run for their lives.This tale of dreams, justice and the power of greed is told simply and beautifully.The Long Winter (Laura Ingalls Wilder)Its winter, 1880-8-1, on Americans nort
