高二下学期月考试题 第一部分阅读（共两节，满分50 ） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5 分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项 A Dear daughters,     Most parents tell their children, “You can be anything you want when you grow up.” I feel the same and I say this often. But I also want you to understand that a dream itself comes from hard work, some good luck and good timing. Girls, here are some words of wisdom as you make your way in the world. 1.Be open-minded to changing your path along the way. In high school, I wanted to be a politician. I left my hometown and went off to college in Washington, D.C. There, I discovered that I loved to support women. It taught me that I’m creative, a strong leader and great at marketing. As a result, I moved on to be the head of a national healthcare nonprofit（非营利机构）.Becoming a mother while in that job opened my mind to launching a breast pump bag business. Now I run a highly successful company that I started up on my own. I’m not a politician!   2.Failure is critical to your success Failure can be heartbreaking. But I will tell you that every failure I’ve had along the way absolutely made me better. Failing the math exam in high school and going to summer school was embarrassing.I eventually passed and I've never failed an exam again. I learned from that experience to ask for help.Now, I ask for help in business all the time. I’m proud to be a role model to you as a mom and an entrepreneur.I hope I inspire you to believe that you can be anything you want. It will be my pleasure to watch your lives unfold before my eyes.       Love, Your Mom 1.In the writer’s opinion,what does it take to realize one’s dream?
