(顶点) of years of hard work. my graduation day. was not.i remember that weekend two years ago, family and friends had traveled far to watch our class walk across the stage. but like everyone else in my graduating class, i had watched the economy go from bad to worse during my senior year. we graduates had degrees, but very limited prospects (前景). i hadnt secured a job, and i knew that the next day, when my lease (租约) ended, i would no longer have a place to call home. the weeks ahead werent easy. i gathered up everything i couldnt carry and put it into storage. then, because i had no opportunities in my small university town, i packed up my car and drove to california to find work. but what i thought would take a week dragged into two, then four, and 100 job applications later, i found myself still jobless. the due date to begin paying back my student loans was creeping even closer. have you ever felt utter dread? that feeling became a constant in my life. the most frustrating part was no matter how much i tried, i just couldnt seem to make any progress. so what did i do to maintain my sanity? i wrote. something about putting my words on a page made everything clearer. something about writing gave me hope. i channeled my frustration into a childrens book. beyond the river was the story of an unlikely hero, a little fish who refused to give up. and then one day, with no writing degree or contacts in the writing world just hard work and perseverance i was offered a publishing contract for my first book. after that, things were in place, i was offered a second book deal. then, a few months later, i got an interview with the walt disney company and was hired shortly after. the moral of this story is dont give up, even if things look bleak now. two years ago i was drinking cold soup right out the can. things change. all we need is the courage to push beyond the river. 54. when it was time to graduate, the author felt _.a. bored b. relieved c. depressed d. hopeful 55. after the authors graduation, _.a. he went on a short trip with his family to california b. things turned even worse than he had expected c. he focused on writing instead of applying for jobs d. he found his salary was hardly enough to pay back his student loans 56. when did the authors career life begin to run smoothly according to the article?a. after he got his first publishing contract. b. after he began to write his book beyond the river. c. after he finished his book beyond the river.d. after he got hired by the walt disney company. 57. what is the main message the story intends to convey?a. opportunity lies everywhere. b. perseverance is essential to success. c. its important to adapt yourself to society. d. we should devote ourselves to whatever we do. dfor a long time being happy was considered something that just happened, and there was nothing special to do about it. now we know that getting along with ourselves and with other people is something that we can work at. it is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better. one way is being unselfish, not wanting everything our own way or demanding the best share of everything, including the attention of our friends. another way is to look for good points, not bad ones in other people. it is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be.you dont have to be spineless (懦弱) in order to be popular. in fact, you will be liked and respected if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights. but do it politely and pleasantly. being friendly and polite to your own group, to older people, to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you is one way to develop a good character.you cannot expect to be perfect, and so you must learn not to be too unhappy when you make a mistake. everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to be blamed unless he refuses to learn from them. many young people become discouraged when they recognize in themselves qualities that they do not like-selfishness, laziness and other unpleasant qualities. just remember that we all have some of these faults and have to fight against them.at the same time, it is important to remember that, while you are probably no worse than others, chances are that you are not much better, either. the surest way to be happy is to think yourself above other people.when something is wrong, it is good sense to try to make it right. perhaps you dont like a teacher or a classmate .try to see why, and look at yourself, too, to be sure that you are not doing something to make that person dislike you. in time, things may turn out all right if you just keep trying to be pleasant and polite. if things do not turn out all right, then you will simply have to get along the best you can with the situation, without thinking too much about it. worrying never helps in a situation you cant change.58.one of the two ways the author suggested for us to get along well with others is _.a. to draw the attention of our friendsb. to demand the best share of everythingc. to look for treasure in order to be successfuld. to pay more attention to other peoples strong points59.the passage implies that in order to be a happy person, one should consider oneself _.a. no better than othersb. not the same as othersc. as having something better than othersd. as having better chances than others60.the purpose for the writer to write the passage is to _.a. train you to be perfectb. show you the way to be happyc. tell you how to act when you dislike a persond. teach you how to be popular among your friends第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下框的a-f选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余选项。a. be in control of yourself.b. set up your education goals.c. develop good study

the best investment (投资) a person can make. the higher ones level of education, the more income they will be likely to earn and the better life will probably be. students should make the effort to get
