12.First lady Michelle Obama has some advice for some Tennessee High School graduates:Strike your own path in college and life and work to overcome(克服) difficulties with determination and courage.
The first lady told the 170graduates that she spent too much of her own time in college focusing on academic achievements.While her success in college and law school led to a good job,she said,she ended up leaving to focus on public service.
"My message to all of you today is this:Do not waste a minute living someone else's dream."she said."It takes a lot of real work to discover what brings you joy…and you won't find what you love simply by checking boxes or padding your GPA(夸大成績)."
She said the school reminded her of her own high school experience in Chicago."My No.1goal was to go to a high school that would push me and challenge me."she said."I wanted to go somewhere that would celebrate achievement,a place where academic success wouldn't make me a target(目標(biāo)) of laughing at or bullying,but instead would be a badge of honour(榮譽的象征)."But Mrs.Obama said pitifully that not all students have the same opportunities."Unfortunately,schools like this don't exist for every kid,"she said."You are lucky."
The first lady told graduates that failure may be a part of their college lives and careers,and that how they respond to any difficulties will define them."That's when you find out what you're really made of in those hard times."she said."But you only do that if you're willing to put yourself in a position where you might fall."
Overcoming difficulties has been the hallmark(特征) of many great people,she said."There's this guy Barack Obama…h(huán)e lost his first race for Congress,and now he gets to call himself my husband."The first lady joked:"I could spend a whole afternoon talking about his failures."

56.What's the purpose(目的) of Michelle's visit to Tennessee High School?D
A.To give a speech to the graduates.
B.To help Obama win respect.
C.To welcome new students.
D.To give the graduates some advice.
57.According to Michelle,C.
A.it's enough for the students to study well at school
B.she was a target of laughing at or bullying when studying at school
C.it's lucky for the students to study at Tennessee High School
D.most great people met with difficulties on their way to success including Obama
58.Why did Michelle mention Obama in the last paragraph?B
A.To make the students know more about Obama.
B.To offer an example of overcoming difficulties.
C.To give advice on how to be a great man.
D.To talk about his failures.

分析 本文通過米歇爾.奧巴馬在田納西州學(xué)校里演講告訴我們要想成功,要有自己的人生目標(biāo)并能夠克服困難.

解答 56-58 DCB
56.D 推理題.根據(jù)文章第一句First lady Michelle Obama has some advice for some Tennessee High School graduates可知本文主要敘述的是米歇爾.奧巴馬給Tennessee High School的學(xué)生的建議.故D正確.
57.C 推理題.根據(jù)文章第4段最后一句"Unfortunately,schools like this don't exist for every kid,"she said."You are lucky."她說像那樣理想的學(xué)校不是每個學(xué)生都會遇見,但是你們很幸運.也就是說這些學(xué)生所在學(xué)校是很好的.而這所學(xué)校是Tennessee High School.故C正確.
58.B 推理題.根據(jù)文章最后一段第一句Overcoming difficulties has been the hallmark(特征) of many great people,she said."There's this guy Barack Obama…克服困難是很多偉人的特征,接下來她就列舉了奧巴馬的例子.說明她提到奧巴馬主要是為了舉例說明.故B正確.

點評 這是一篇人物故事類閱讀.做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

1.Forgiveness
To forgive is a virtue,but no one has ever said it is easy.When someone has deeply hurt you,it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate.However,forgiveness is possible,and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.People who forgive show less sadness,anger and stress and more hopefulness,according to a recent research.
(51)B Try the following steps:
Calm yourself.(52)F You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure:a beautiful scene in nature,or someone you love.
Don't wait for an apology.Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize.They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way.(53)G Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.
Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者).Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused your pain.Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings,learn to look for the love,beauty and kindness around you.
(54)D If you understand your offender,you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness,fear,and even love.You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.
Don't forget to forgive yourself.(55)E But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don't do it.

A.Why should you forgive?
B.How should you start to forgive?
C.Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.
D.Try to see things from your offender's angle.
E.For some people,forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.
F.To make your anger die away,try a simple stress-management technique.
G.If you wait for people to apologize,you could be waiting an awfully long time.
