     Nothing is impossible if you set your mind on it. My name is Jessica. I come from South Africa. Ten years ago, I began to go to a middle school in the USA because my family moved to California. I was not a smart student and was very quiet. I couldn’t learn English well. I lost my confidence (自信). In listening classes, I always copied my friend’s paper because I couldn’t understand what I was listening to.

I tried my best to improve my English. I read a lot of English books and talked with my classmates in English, but it didn’t work well. I felt so frustrated about my English. Some of my classmates often laughed at me.

That hurt me, so I made a big decision in my life. I left school. I tried to get a job, but with my poor English it was very hard for me. I kept trying and trying. I finally got a job as a salesgirl in a department store. Gradually (渐渐地)，my spoken English has improved a lot. Now I am manager of a company.

Ⅲ. 阅读理解

 [语篇解读]本文讲的是Jessica在学英语方面遇到的困难，以及她努力学习英语的经历。

1. B  推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Ten years ago, I began to go to a middle school in the USA because my family moved to California.”可推断五年前Jessica可能住在加利福尼亚，故答案为B。

2. C  细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In listening classes, I always copied my friend’s paper because I couldn’t understand what I was listening to.”可知，Jessica在听力课上总是抄她朋友的试卷，因为她听不懂自己正在听的东西，故答案为C。

3. B  词义猜测题。根据其前的描述可知，Jessica尽最大努力提高她的英语，但是效果不好，其后还提到了“我的一些同班同学经常嘲笑我”，由此可推断，Jessica觉得很沮丧，frustrated的含义是“沮丧的”，和upset同义，故答案为B。

4. A  推理判断题。根据第一段和第二段的描述可知，Jessica并不喜欢她在那所中学的生活，故选项A是正确的描述。

5. C  推理判断题。通读全文可知，从Jessica的故事中，我们可以感悟到“如果你努力，你可以把每件事都做得很好”，故答案为C。
