举一反三
Here I am, a senior. After four years of high school, I have learned a lot of lessons. Some were
good and valuable. And I have also learned others just from growing up and being around other
teenagers.
I started senior year with a 1.5 GPA (=grade point average平均分,相当于65%), which is not
even close to what I am capable of. The last three years I fooled around and cut lots of classes. Now,
I can easily say that it is the only thing in life that I regret. Next year I will watch most of my friends go
to college while I lost that chance. This does not mean that I am giving up on my dreams, but when I
started high school, my goal was to get great grades and go to a competitive college.
At first I blamed the people around me for my bad experiences, but I"ve learned that it"s my fault
when bad things happen. In the last three years I realized that I am the only one in control of myself.
While making my teachers and my peers the excuse for not wanting to go to class, I developed a huge
lying problem.
If I could start over, I would in a heartbeat, but I can"t, so instead of beating myself up, I try talking
to younger teenagers about the importance of doing well in school by explaining the situation I got myself
into. Community college looks like a great opportunity. I am looking forward to taking many credits and
receiving good grades. I see community college as a year to turn my life around. It"s my ticket out of here
to wherever I want to go. I have another chance to make my future and I"ve promised myself I won"t
mess up.
We need to study history so we won"t repeat our past; I"ve studied my personal history, and will
avoid my mistakes in the future. I am ready for the next task in life, the only question is, is it ready for
me?
B. prove that others did wrong to him before
C. improve himself and win others" respect
D. get the opportunity to apply for a good job
B. Others should be blamed for our hard time.
C. Learn from past, don"t make mistakes.
D. Be hopeful, choose community college.
B. confident and responsible
C. sensible and independent
D. honest and ambitious
B. played tricks
C. made faces
D. felt ashamed
often feel that there have been no accomplishments (成就) in their lives. In my first year of college
especially, I saw people get themselves down too quickly. There were two students in my class who failed the first test and seemed to give up immediately. From that day on, they walked into the classroom carrying defeat on their shoulders the way other students carried textbooks under their arms. When they
disappeared for good(长久地), no one took much notice, for they had already disappeared in spirit after
that first test.
I have really wanted to shake them by the shoulders and say: "You are not dead. Be proud and pleased that you have brought yourself here to college. Breathe. Hope. Act." Such people should not use
self-doubts as an excuse for not trying. They should pull themselves together and get to work. They should start taking notes in class and trying to learn. Above all, they should not give up without even trying.
B. lose confidence
C. avoid dangers
D. waste time
B. they were absent from class too often
C. they didn"t get on well with other students
D. they were so much cut off from the rest of the class
B. proudness
C. self-doubt
D. laziness
B. learn from other students
C. feel happy because they are in college
D. try hard before giving up

to implement(实施) in my own family. Basically, each year after Thanksgiving dinner, all of the
people sit around in the living room and each person takes a few minutes and talks about the
thing they are most thankful about over the last year. Everyone in the family takes the question
seriously and answers it honestly, giving thanks for what really matters and adds value to their life.
This is something I"ve actually thought about a lot in the last year, and I really came up with
two things, one obvious and one not so much.
The first one, obviously, is the conception and birth and healthiness of my daughter. She"s a
healthy, happy twomonthold baby who smiles a lot and very much enjoys sitting on her dad"s lap.
I am so thankful for having this wonderful baby in my life, and thankful that she has the gift of
good health.
The second one isn"t my financial turnaround (as some of you might have expected-that was
what I was most thankful for last year). Instead, I am thankful for the discovery of the value of
writing in my life. A year ago, The Simple Dollar was only a few weeks old and was far from
popular yet-according to my data, on Thanksgiving Day last year I had about 60 subscribers.
The process of writing was bringing me enjoyment. This past year showed me otherwise, and I
am deeply thankful for it. After thinking about it for a while, I began to realize that it is a very
powerful and wonderfully positive exercise. You spend time reflecting deeply on the positives in
your life, and you often realize that even when things are bad, you do have lots to be thankful for
because there is a lot of good in your life, and it can shine a bright light even in a dark spot in your
life. I hope to repeat this each year on Thanksgiving, because it brought forth a pretty strong joy in
my life today.
B. Enjoying the warm family atmosphere together.
C. Talking about the things they appreciate most.
D. Talking about their attitude towards future life.
B. her daughter likes playing with her dad
C. her daughter makes her dull life full of fun
D. her daughter is losing weight
B. the author once suffered financial difficulty
C. the author will not go on writing until she discovers the value of writing
D. writing has made the author known nationwide
B. People should find a suitable career.
C. People should reflect on their mistakes.
D. People should hold a positive attitude.
