日训 DAY 2 阅读理解 & 七选五 & 语法填空 & 短文改错 第 1 页 DAY 2 阅读理解 & 七选五 & 语法填空 & 短文改错 日训——阅读理解篇章训练 广东深圳高级中学 2021 月考 体裁：记叙文 主题语境：个人经历——付出的过程最重要 难度：中 建议用时：7 分钟 When people find out my son Sam is a competitive mathlete, they usually ask if my husband and I are “math people”. The answer is definitely not. We were both decent math students, but nothing like Sam, who participates in math competitions and spends most of his spare time doing or thinking about math. However, ninth grade was tough for Sam. He left the world of middle school math, where he was kind of a big fish, and started swimming with the high school kids. To prepare for a competition, he took multiple practice tests, which were sometimes as long as three hours. In the end, he didn’t do as well as he’d hoped in the most recent competition and was rejected by a math camp he’d applied to. One day, he wandered into my office, clearly depressed. “I don’t know why I didn’t do better,” he said, flopping down into a chair. “Maybe I should just quit.” I quite understood his feeling. “You can always quit. The only person it really matters to is you, and if it isn’t important to you anymore, then quit.” Sam sighed, “I don’t want to quit. I just feel like the whole year’s been a waste. Maybe I’m not good enough.” There it was. The thought always haunts us all that we just aren’t good enough, and that all our hard work won’t matter in the end because we don’t have “it", something we need to turn our effort into success. Actually, it is absolutely not. We should learn to commit ourselves to something because it’s beautiful and worth our while, not because we’re certain we’ll succeed. We can’t control the outcome, only our input. To devote time to something with no guarantee of success is risky and terrifying. But, so is everything. 1.
