To be exact, the thoughts of the future have kept me up countless nights and made me worry enough to do poorly on more than one test. Because of this, words of wisdom are a source of comfort. Steve Jobs gave a speech to Stanfords graduating class in 2005 and his words resound repeatedly in my mind whenever I think about my future. It was not always like that, though. It started when I became a junior, when college came into view. Its the first big step to making your life your own. So when Jobs discussed his life as a student, some fears were eased. He also felt the need to attend college to make something of himself. He faced what many are extremely afraid of: uncertainty. His lack of understanding caused him to stop attending college and focus on what he felt was important. His story had a happy ending, of course, since he certainly turned out well. This does not mean that students should not attend college, but rather that they should not worry so much. Youll get where you need to go, even if your path is a bit more winding(蜿蜒的) than youd like. Jobs talked about the hardships in his work. His love of his work helped him carry on and he got where he was meant to be, which restates the point: dont panic. One particular part of his speech stayed with me. Steve Jobs quoted the saying “Stay hungry, stay foolish” and it has become my motto. Staying foolish is realizing that you are still a fool, no matter how much you have learned or experienced. There is always more to explore. Staying hungry is wanting to find those things about which you are still uneducated. Steve Jobss level of success is attainable, and I aim to prove that. With the will power to go into the world living every day like it and allowing the future to take care of itself, I will do great things. In the last moments of my life, Ill be proud of what I have done and hope to have all the wisdom a person could wish for.51.

A. the wisdom drawn from a speech B. the most impressive quote in life C. a memorable meeting with Jobs D. an experience of a speechBRecently, e-cigarettes (electronic cigarettes) are becoming popular with many smokers. Should ecigarettes be a new choice for the smokers trying to get rid of the habit? Reactions from Americans are mixed.More than half of the people questioned in a survey think ecigarettes should be controlled by the US Food and Drug Administration, but 47 percent believe the ecigarettes should be available to the smokers who want to quit.“In the hunt for a safer cigarette, ecigarettes are becoming a popular choice among those either trying to quit or looking to replace standard tobacco smoke with an alternative that manufacturers claim to be safer,” Zogby International, which conducted the survey，said in a statement.About half of the 4,611 adults who took part in the survey had heard about ecigarettes，which are batterypowered，or rechargeable cigarettes that vaporize a liquid nicotine solution.They do not produce smoke but a water vapor without smell. Sold mostly on the Internet, ecigarettes were first made in China.Last year the World Health Organization (WHO) warned against using ecigarettes，saying there was no evidence to prove they were safe or helped smokers break the habit.The WHO said people who smoke ecigarettes breathe in a fine fog of nicotine into the lungs.Nearly a third of people questioned in the survey think that ecigarettes should be allowed in places where smoking is forbidden, because they dont produce smoke, but 46 percent disagree. Men who were aware of the availability of ecigarettes were more likely than women to say they should be a choice available to smokers who want to quit.Young people, aged 18-29, and singles were the groups most open to trying ecigarettes.Smoking is the single largest cause of preventable death worldwide, according to the WHO.55. What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A.American smokers ought to try ecigarettes.

The Smurfs (蓝精灵) cute little blue cartoon dwarfs(小矮人) which are inspired by Nordic fairy tales made their first TV appearance in the US in 1981 and ever since have been childhood friends to many people all Over the world. The storyline is quite simpleThe Smurfs are living happily in their mushroom houses in the middle of a forestThen one day the evil wizard Gargamel discovers their village and sends them by magic to the present-day New York CityThe Smurfs have to find their way home and conquer Gargamel along the waySo, just why, more than half a century later, is the simple story still so beloved by young andold? Mario Cacciolotto, a BBC reporter, believes it is due to the fact that the Smurfs lives do not have any particular cultural implication and argues that they could offer a model for societyVeronique Culliford, daughter of the Smurfs creator Pierre Culliford, agreesThey are unique creations, she says They do not involve politics or religionThey are multi-cultural and everybody around the world can recognize themselves in the SmurfsEveryone can apply their very nice values of friendship, kindness and helping others to their own lives, regardless of where they come fromIn the Smurf world, everyone has their own skill and is willing to use it for the benefit of others without expecting any rewardTheir village is run as a collective (合作公社) and has no form of currencyThis has even led to debates about whether the artist intended the Smurfs as a metaphor (暗喻) for socialism The series wasnt just about sweet-looking dwarfs, said Alan Mechem of the British Smurf Collectors ClubHe thought that Culliford wanted it to show things like equality and tolerance59.

Everyone knows about such students. We see them frequently in TV situation comedies and in movies like Revenge of the Nerds. They get high grades, all right, but only by becoming dull laborers, their noses always stuck in a book. They are not good at social communication and look clumsy while doing sports.Then, how do we account for Domenica Roman or Paul Melendres?Roman is on the tennis team at Fairmont Senior High School. She also sings in the choral group, serves on the student council and is a member of the mathematics society. For two years she has maintained As in every subject. Melendres, a freshman at the University of New Mexico, was student-body president at Valley High School in Albuquerque. He played soccer and basketball well, exhibited at the science fair, and meanwhile worked as a reporter on a local television station. Being a speech giver at the graduation ceremony, he achieved straight As in his regular classes, plus bonus points for As in two college-level courses.How do super-achievers like Roman and Melendres do it? Brains arent the only answer. “Top grades dont always go to the brightest students, ” declares Herbert Walberg, a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, who has conducted major studies on super-achieving students.“Knowing how to make the most of your innate(天生的) abilities counts for more. Much more.”In fact, Walberg says, students with high IQ sometimes dont do as well as classmates with lower IQ. For them, learning comes too easily and they never find out how to get down. Hard work isnt the whole story, either.“Its not how long you sit there with the books open, ” said one of the many-A students we interviewed.“Its what you do while youre sitting.”Indeed, some of the
