21、I was born in a poor community on the north side of Boston, US, raised by a single mother who didn’t finish 3rd grade, lived each day on food stamps and attended what the media called “the most dysfunctional public school district”. Not many people expected much of me, so I had to expect something of myself.
On my 13th birthday, I bought a poster of Harvard to hang in my room. Being at Harvard became what I dreamt about. Even when my electricity was cut off and I woke up at 5:30 am to pitch blackness, I knew that my poster of Harvard was still hanging only two feet away from me.
Reminding myself of my goal each day made it easy to say no to the same choices I saw my peers making, because those paths wouldn’t have had me closer to my goal. Even poverty could not take away my power to decide what I choose to do with my day. The poster gave me the courage to cold email about 50 Harvard students so I could ask for feedback on my application essays; it gave me the energy to study just one more hour on my SATs when my friends were asleep; and it gave me the determination to submit just one more scholarship application when 180 others had already turned me down.
Every day I could feel myself getting closer and closer to my goal as my writing got better, my SAT score increased, and my scholarship checks started coming in. Finally, an email arrived from Harvard. The first word was “Congratulations!” A month later, Harvard flew me up to visit the campus where for the first time I stepped onto my dreaming land.
Who you are today is the result of the decisions you made yesterday, and who you will be tomorrow will be the result of the choices you make today. Who do you want to be tomorrow?

22、When Harrison School District 2 turned to e-learning last spring, they made sure to provide each student with a laptop and the tools needed to succeed at home. But one remaining need in many families was Internet access.
Christine O’Brien, spokesperson for District 2 said, "When you had many people learning and working from home, sometimes there were Internet glitches. We wanted to avoid that and make sure students in our district could have equal chances to learn and that our families could learn from home as well."
O’Brien said that this year they made sure to survey each of their students to see who exactly needed the Internet.
“This year we were really specific about asking whether families had Internet service at home without a phone," she said. They discovered that about a thousand families needed some sort of Internet connection.
And that’s where Altia came into play. A local software company heard there was an Internet shortage for students and it stepped in to see how they could help. Teaming up with local foundations (基金会), they were able to provide a monthly Internet service that allows many people to have Internet access at the same time. Mike Juran, CEO of Altia said; “At Altia we talked to Randy Rocha at District 2 and I just put out an email to friends and people that I knew and that made its way back to Pikes Peak Community Foundation and Norwood Foundation and people spread that around. Within weeks we were able to get something done."
"The community came together and helped us piece this part. We worked so hard as a school district to get those devices into the hands of students but this was a piece that we weren’t ready to do. We hadn’t budgeted (预算) for it, so the community’s coming together to help our families in this way was really truly amazing," said O’Brien.
【1】What does the underlined word “glitches” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Users.
B．Services.
C．Problems.
D．Repairmen.
【2】What did Harrison School District 2 do according to O’Brien?
A．They kept track of students’ situations.
B．They sold laptops to students cheaply.
C．They kept holding new learning programs.
D．They encouraged students to treat each other equally.
【3】How did Altia help to make e-learning easier?
A．By visiting the families every month.
B．By sending emails to students every week.
C．By setting up a local foundation to raise money.
D．By offering Internet service to students in need.
【4】Why was O’Brien so thankful for the community?
A．It inspired students to be helpful and active.
B．It helped deliver devices to the hands of students.
C．It added a big part to the school’s planned budget.
D．It solved things the school district was unprepared for.
23、Is changing answers in your test a good idea?
Maybe you can answer a question in seconds. However, do not just trust your first instinct (直觉) in a test. Instincts are not about finding the truth. They are about survival. Your brain doesn’t think through most stuff in life. It just uses shortcuts (捷径) to fool yourself into thinking you know.
Do you remember how it felt to be learning something new? At first it could be complicated. There were hundreds of details that your brain needed to look out for. When you’re learning anything new, your brain is working overtime. Now imagine how you feel doing that new thing you learned before. It gets easier, right? Stuff gets easier because the brain starts creating shortcuts for decision making.
When you’re taking a test, these shortcuts are usually your first instincts. If you see an answer that instantly looks related to the question, then your brain is going to start ringing alarm bells ( “ This might be it ” ). The logical part of your brain hasn’t even come into the station and the conductor is screaming, “ All aboard! ”
Changing your answer is letting the logical part of your brain take the wheel. You are going to end up right more often than you end up wrong.
“ But my experience says otherwise! ” That’s because your experience is just another shortcut. When you’re examining your completed test, your brain probably has a shortcut of looking at your wrong answers and skipping the ones you got right. The bright red pen will direct you straight to your problem areas. That means you’re probably not getting a fair representation of your results.
When you get an answer wrong because you changed your answer, you will probably notice it. It will stand out. The bright red circle just pulls your brain in. It forces your attention to it. Since it’s a question you probably spent a minute or two on, you’ll remember why you got it wrong. When you get an answer right because you changed your answer, the opposite happens. There are no red circles directing your attention to how awesomely smart thinking twice was. It will just slide unnoticed while you let your eyes wander over other red marked areas you need to think about.
【1】What will happen when you learn something new?
A．Your brain will look out for a lot of things.
B．Your first instinct will play a part.
C．Your brain will create shortcuts.
D．Your work time will increase.
【2】How does your first instinct work in a test?
A．It stops you thinking logically.
B．It replaces the function of logic.
C．It helps you find the right answer.
D．It fools you into getting a quick answer.
【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to students' experience?
A．They shouldn’t trust their first instincts.
B．Shortcuts make a difference in their tests.
C．They usually change right answers to wrong ones.
D．Changing answers is a good idea of getting higher scores.
【4】What’s the author’s attitude toward changing answers in a test?
A．Doubtful.
B．Supportive.
C．Critical.
D．Unclear.
24、Have you ever realized in the middle of a dream that you’re dreaming? If this happens during a nightmare (噩梦), you can wake yourself up.【1】Want to fly? Go right ahead! People call this type of experience a lucid dream (清醒梦).
The key to lucid dreaming is realizing that you are in a dream. To do that, most people need some sort of signal, often called a “reality check”. One way of checking is to look at a digital clock or words on a page, look away, and then look back again. 【2】Lucid dreaming enthusiasts recommend doing reality checks multiple times every day. The idea is to get so used to doing it during the day that you do it in dreams too.
A handful of high-tech devices and even some apps promise a shortcut to lucid dreams. 【3】 The goal is for the lights or sounds to show up in the dream. Then, the user is supposed to realize, “Hey, I’m dreaming!”
【4】If the lights or sounds are too weak, the user won’t notice them. If they are too bright or loud, they’ll wake up the user. In addition, the device has to identify when the person is actually dreaming. Almost all dreams happen during a stage of sleep called REM (short for rapid eye movement). When scientists want to identify REM sleep, they attach Aurora, a headband, to a person’s head to measure brain waves. 【5】But think twice before you start saving up your allowance for a fancy headband. A recent scientific review of lucid dreaming devices found that none of them consistently produced results.
A．Another way is to keep a dream journal.
B．Unfortunately, this doesn’t always work out.
C．Successful lucid dreams involve practice and effort.
D．These devices shine lights or sounds as reality checks.
E．During dreams, it shines colored lights or play soft music.
F．In a dream, words and numbers often shift or change completely.
G．If it happens during a normal dream, you can decide what to dream about next.
