For example, a person who is very good at math can go to a famous college but also can be a good football player .This experience made me think again that I must try to find where my own interests might lead me . To be honest, it was not easy . However, I never felt sorry to choose this way because it helped me understand myself . If I took the College Entrance Examination,as we call it gaokao in China, it could never possibly do .When I entered high school, I took gaokao seriously because it seemed to me a great way to show how good at my lessons . However,as I grew older, I realized gaokao did make me work hard at my lessons, but the pressure also pushed many other activities out of my life, like guitarplaying . Although I had no time for it, I will still get to it in the future .No doubt, gaokao provides a way of choosing those who are successful in their studies . But it is really important for all of us to rethink what “ talent ” really is today . This is because we now live in a world in which all of our other human qualities ( 品质）are needed for success, not just the high grade .Ken Robinson once said, “ the society depends on different kinds of talents . ” However, gaokao pays too attention to a persons grades but little to his other qualities. And it is these qualities that makes life colorful and fun .As high school students, we can not change the present situation of eduction, but we are always free to think outside of the box . Although good school grade is still useful, I hope one day we will see our education also welcomes the amazing possibilities in different people .（1）The US College pay special attention to _.A . studentsfamily background .B . the different achievementC . studentsideas about way of life .D . the school a student is from .（2）When at high school, the writer _.A . had a lot of activitiesB . did not work hard at her lessonsC . did well in gaokaoD . had no time to play the guitar .（3）From the passage, we know that the writer may _.A . go to college in AmericaB . give up the US college interview .C . become a good football player in the US.D . change the present situation of eduction .（4）Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A .
