Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

You should see the photo.I’m sitting in red dirt,wearing an ugly purple T-shirt.My face is pink and my hair is wet with sweat.Flies buzz around my head.I’m in the Outback of Australia’s Northwest Territory,on a school trip with 20 parents and 20 kids.

It was an odd choice for a holiday.I like sitting by the pool with a can of cola,not flies and frogs.I like being alone and quiet,not a busload of kids.I like freshly washed sheets,not dirty-looking blankets.

But here’s the thing about that photo:I am smiling!

The trip sounded good when I signed up.Guides would take us into the heart of the place,and I would see a new part of Australia,learn about local culture and bond with my youngest daughter.I would also bond with 40 strangers.I just hoped there would be good coffee.

In Darwin,we were herded onto a bus.It quickly became tiresome.The kids were loud and I hated making small talk.But later,when I looked out at the vast,empty land,I was surprised and moved by its beauty.Our guide told us about the land and its culture.I felt far from home.

At a national park,we enjoyed a natural swimming hole.Kids and parents had a great time.

Then we got to the outback.The cabin I shared with my daughter was a brick cell,full of geckos (壁虎) and crickets (蟋蟀),but too dark to see them.

It didn’t matter.The next nine days were packed:waterfalls,lakes,community visits and a trip around Katharine Gorge.We even saw giant crocodiles and baby wallabies.

On our last night,a water pipe broke.We awoke to a mess.Usually,I would have complained and asked for a refund,but it just seemed normal to be dirty.

Indeed,it was impossible to stay clean.We were hiking in red dirt,with temperatures of 35 degrees.Still,I felt a kind of energy I hadn’t experienced in years.

Yes,the coffee was bad,but I was too focused on keeping crickets off my face.

I love that photo of me in the dirt.I look messy,but also happy.Sometimes,it’s another way of traveling.There is beautiful scenery.There is dirt.There is always someone to talk to,and someone to laugh with.

My Ph.D.adviser informed me I had failed my qualifying exam on my third attempt,which meant dismissal from the program.How was it possible that one exam—one hour of my life—could define me as unfit to be a scientist?

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started my Ph.D.program.I struggled with my classes during my first year,spending countless hours studying in the library.I ended that year with increased confidence.But soon my confidence went when I made my first attempt at the qualifying exam.I had switched research projects 5 months earlier,after my first adviser left the university,so I wasn’t so confident going into the exam.Besides,I had never taken an oral exam before,so the experience was terrifying.

Once it was over,my committee told me I’d conditionally passed,which meant I had to take more time to study and prepare to talk about the topic further.I was shaken but still hopeful.But when I retook the exam,I failed again.That’s when I was told I’d have one more chance.

For the next 5 months,I asked my committee chairs for guidance and practiced answering oral questions.I even stopped doing lab work to focus on my exam preparations.I was all in.

When the exam was over,I left the room feeling a mix of fear and relief.But those feelings changed to disappointment the next day after I learned I’d failed.I speak Spanish at home,but I have difficulty translating even the simplest scientific concepts into Spanish.This hampered my ability to comfortably speak the expected “language of science”.

My adviser requested to reinstate (恢复) me to the Ph.D.program,and I’m now back to working on my doctorate.I still have a little voice in the back of my head that I’m not good enough.But I try to stop it by surrounding myself with professors who support me and by staying focused on developing into the great scientist I know I can be.I am much more than that one-hour exam.

5.How did the author feel by the end of the first year?

A.Confident. B.Terrified.

C.Worn out. D.At a loss.

6.Why did the author switch her research project?

A.She found it too hard for her.

B.Her adviser dismissed her from it.

C.She failed the qualifying exam.

D.Her adviser no longer worked there.

7.What affected her performance in the third exam?

A.Lack of preparation.

B.Decreased confidence.

C.Insufficient language skills.

D.Too much time on lab work.

8.Which word can best describe the author?

A.Intelligent. B.Sensitive.

C.Energetic. D.Determined.

CaptureSpiritofYouth

Youth is a relatively brief but vital period in one’s life.During this time,habits and interests that will continue for the rest of your life are formed and developed.　1　 

It’s time to begin the process of self-reliance and self-motivation.Sure,you might have parents and friends to help you.　2　 It builds your character and makes you independent.No one can force you to get good grades or get a perfect job—those responsibilities are yours alone.Only you can be the author of your own life. 

　3　 Train yourself to be strong.Tell yourself that you can summon the will to overcome whatever difficulties come your way.Anything worth doing isn’t easy—it’s best to learn that lesson early.In the end,conquering a difficult task is always worth it,and you can thank perseverance for guiding you there. 

Work hard.There’s nothing better than relaxing at the end of a long day,knowing that you did all you could do for yourself,your family and friends,and your community.Be a person that others admire.　4　 The process of working hard will teach you valuable lessons along the way;most importantly,it will teach you that failure is unavoidable but isn’t something you should ever allow to hold you back.Change your strategy and try again. 

Following these principles will surely bring success in school,work and life in general.　5　 Be self-reliant,persevere through hard times and always work hard to achieve your dreams.
