A Full-Time School Called Life

You are enrolled in a full-time school called “life”. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, but you have designed them as part of your curriculum.

Why are you here? What is your purpose? Humans have sought to discover the meaning of life for a very long time. What we and our ancestors have to overlook, however, is that there is no answer. The meaning of life is different for every individual.

Each person has his or her own purpose and distinct path, unique and separate from anyone else’s. As you travel your life path, you will be presented with numerous lessons that you will need to learn in order to fulfill that purpose. The lessons you are presented with are specific to you; learning these lessons is the key to discovering and fulfilling the meaning and connection of your own life.

As you travel through your lifetime, you may encounter challenging lessons that others don’t have to face, while others spend years struggling with challenges that you don’t need to deal with. You may never know why you are blessed with a wonderful marriage, while your friends suffer through bitter arguments and painful divorces, just as you cannot be sure why you struggle financially while your peers enjoy abundance. The only thing you can count on for certain is that you will be presented with all the lessons that you specifically need to learn; whether you choose to learn them or not is entirely up to you.

The challenge here, therefore, is to align (与……保持一致)yourself with your own unique path by learning individual lessons. This is one of the most difficult challenges you will be faced with in your lifetime, as sometimes your path will be radically different from others. But remember don’t compare your path to the people’s around you and focus on the disparity between their lessons and yours. You need to remember that you will only be faced with lessons that you are capable of learning and are specific to your own growth.

Our sense of fairness is the expectation of equity—the assumption that all things are equal and that justice will always prevail. Life is not, in fact, fair, and you may indeed have a more difficult lift path than others around you, deserved or not. Everyone’s circumstances are unique, and everyone needs to handle his or her own circumstances differently. If you want to move toward calm, you will be required to move out of the comparing yourself with others rather than appreciating your own special uniqueness. You miss out on learning your individual lessons by distracting yourself from feelings of bitterness and anger.

1．According to the passage, how can the meaning of your life be realized?

A. Having the same opinions as others.

B. Taking the distinct path from others.

C. Learning the lessons presented to you.

D. Doing the different things from others.

2. From the passage we know _______.

A. everyone has his own track to follow

B. the same thing usually happens to the peers

D. a wealthy man must have a wonderful marriage

A. are beyond your power

B. keep you from growth

C. limit your development

D. help you with your success

4. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. All things are equal and justice will always prevail.

B. You should learn to appreciate your specific uniqueness.

C. One has to fix his mind on unfairness of circumstances.

D. The teachers have designed the lessons as part of your curriculum in the life school.

5．Life is called a full-time school, because _______.

A. it is full of all lessons to learn

B. you have plenty of time to learn lessons

C. you meet with specific lessons every day

D. there are so many subjects for you to choose

6. 请用30个左右的词概括文章大意

Ⅳ. 读写任务

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

No wonder English poses (构成) such a challenge to non-native speakers. This most global of languages has more words than any other, over 1 million according to the Global Language Monitor. Out of this number, the average American college student has mastered between 8, 000—15, 000.   

Realizing that words are the building blocks of language, many Chinese students try hard to catch up. They make out long lists of words—often in alphabetical order—and simply memorize their definitions(释义) and Chinese meanings.   

The bad news is that definition memorization does them little good when it comes to college entrance tests like the SATs. For these tests, a student needs to understand, not simply parrot words studied.   

The good news is that there are better ways to build an academic English vocabulary. One of them is:  

Vocabulary learning system  

The first thing to do is to develop an organized, but easy means of collecting and learning new words. We recommend a card system that includes the following information:  

Word-Simple Definition in English—Phrase or Sentence-Related Words—Synonyms (同义词) and Antonyms (反义词) - with a Chinese translation on the reverse (背面) of the card.   

The advantage of this system is that with a single card, a student can learn not just one word but a group of related words.   

Keep your cards on a detachable (可分离的) metal ring, so you can carry them around and add to your collection daily.

【写作内容】

1. 以约30个词概括以上短文的主要内容;

2. 然后以约120个词以“有什么记单词的好办法? ”为主题写一篇短文，并包括如下要点：

1）举例说明你的英语老师教给你某种记忆单词的好方法；

2）说明好的记忆单词方法的重要性;

3）为应对高考你将如何加强单词记忆？

【写作要求】

1. 你可以使用实例或其他论述方法支持你的论点，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接引用阅读材料中的句子;

2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。

【评分标准】概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，语篇连贯。

Ⅳ.【参考范文】

In the passage the author tells us some bad and poor ways of memorizing English vocabulary and advises a vocabulary learning system, which enables students to learn a group of related words.  

Since I entered school, my teachers have told me a lot of methods of memorizing English vocabulary. Association is a method with which we can think about a word from one to another. For example we want to memorize the word “tree”, do not remember t-r-e-e so far. We should enlarge it to the following: stick, branch, trunk, stem, leaf, shoot, root, in the tree, on the tree, pine tree, apple tree, etc. . By this means, we can associate many separate words and expressions, and the result will be much better.  

If we have mastered good methods of learning English words, we can enlarge a greater number of them by using less time, and thus get twice the result with half the effort. We can also improve the learning efficiency.

As a senior 3 student, in order to cope with the college entrance exam, I need to strengthen the memorization of English vocabulary since we can easily forget what we have learned. I will try to use all sorts of methods to help myself to memorize all the required vocabulary. Only in this way can I get a high mark in the college entrance exam.
