[江西赣州部分学校2024高二联考] A Florida teen is gaining national attention with her graduation speech and a basket of strawberries. “Care for some strawberries?” Brenda said at her graduation from Mulberry High School. After jokingly acknowledging there might not be enough, she went on, “These are no ordinary strawberries.” She held up a series of strawberries, revealing what each represents: sweat, dirt, aches, and pains.
Brenda described herself as the daughter of two tireless farmers who immigrated from Mexico and spent most of their days working in fields of strawberries, blueberries, and cucumbers. “My motivation has been rooted in my immigrant culture.” Because of this, she chose to focus on that in her address. “Many students used to be ashamed of their upbringing but today, we’re proud of what makes us.”

She explained how she grew up under poor conditions. “I’m motivated by my parents’ hands that lose feeling from laborious work. Despite the hot sun and body pains, they back me up heart and soul in my education, which weighs more strongly with me than anything else. I must work hard and succeed.” Brenda’s heading to Stanford University this fall. She also credited some of her outstanding achievements to her teacher Higgins, who helps immigrant students and the poor.
Her speech has been viewed by thousands online. “Hearing it touched other people’s hearts who said they understood my message, I’m struck the same,” Brenda said later. The principal of Mulberry High School, Michael Young, was one member of the audience getting emotional. “The speech was very powerful—her fruit did help paint a good picture of things she wanted to convey,” Young said.
As for her message to young people struggling, Brenda said, “Past circumstances aren’t in charge of your future. If you’re from a poor family, use every resource and try to better yourself. You’re the author of your story.”

Whether a person is considering starting a small business or changing career paths, passion must be taken into account. While characteristics such as strong values, talent, ambition, intellect, discipline, persistence, and luck all contribute to business and career success, following your passion can often make the most significant difference of all.
Before discussing passion and explaining its significance, we must first define the true meaning of success. Success is usually thought of as making large sums of wealth or achieving a certain level of fame, but true success that satisfies someone is not all about money.
刷阅读理解
21
Success is better defined as achievement of a desired aim or purpose. More than money or fame, most people desire to combine their own passions with their work while making a sustainable income. The more you earn, the less money returns, making money an elusive (难以解释的) definition of success.
For most people, success means being proud of their achievements and being part of something that matters. This is particularly true when it comes to meaningful work. If a person decides to follow their passion, there is a greater likelihood that money and traditional success will follow because the time and effort invested in the venture (风险投资) come with enthusiasm.
If enthusiasm and passion are present, people tend to be more resilient (有承受力的) when facing difficulties. People who are passionate about what they do, rather than just “in it for the money”, tend to be people who have more positive outlooks and can overcome difficulty through problem-solving.
刷阅读理解
22
Also, the more passionate someone is about their job, the more inclined (倾向于……的) they are to work hard on self-improvement, increasing their chances of success.
One of the most successful companies in the world is Apple. Apple’s founder and most remarkable leader was the late Steve Jobs. In a book titled The Innovation secrets of Steve Jobs, writer Carmine Gallo outlines seven factors responsible for Jobs’ success. The book is based on interviews with Apple employees and Steve Jobs himself. The first principle? “Do what you love.” Steve Jobs believed in the power of passion and once said, “People with passion can change the world for the better.” Jobs claimed that his passion for his work made all the difference.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要阐述一个人无论是在考虑创业还是改变职业道路,热情都是必须考虑的因素,与价值观、天赋、抱负、智力、自制力、毅力和运气等特质相比,追随自己内心的热情更有助于企业和事业的成功。
1.What’s the author’s purpose in writing Paragraph 1?( )
A
A.To introduce the topic. B.To make a comparison.
C.To present a problem. D.To give a definition.
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知,作者列举了价值观、天赋、抱负、智力、自制力、毅力和运气等有助于事业成功的特质,但作者指出热情是成功最重要的因素,结合下文内容可知,作者全文都在论述热情对成功的重要性,由此可推断,第一段的目的是介绍主题。故选A项。
刷阅读理解
24
2.What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?( )
B
A.Sometimes you don’t get much reward for your hard work.
B.Money doesn’t always define success.
C.If you want to be successful, you need a steady income.
D.The sign of success is the same for everyone.
解析 词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句以及第三段第二句可知,很多人认为成功就是赚取大笔的财富,或获得一定程度的名声,而大部分人都希望能将自己的爱好与工作结合起来,同时拥有稳定的收入。由此可推知,这里作者是想表达,赚得的金钱越多,能够带来的回报和满足感就越少,人们还会追求金钱以外的东西,金钱并不总是能定义成功。故选B项。
刷阅读理解
25
3.What could we learn from Paragraph 4?( )
C
A.Most people intend to choose meaningful jobs.
B.If you follow most people’s course, success is just around the corner.
C.Working with enthusiasm is more likely to succeed.
D.If you are always proud of yourself, you will succeed easily.
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中的 If a person decides to follow their passion, there is a greater likelihood that money and traditional success will follow because the time and effort invested in the venture come with enthusiasm.可知,带着激情投入工作更有可能获得金钱以及传统意义的成功。故选C项。
刷阅读理解
26
4.What could be the best title for the passage?( )
B
A.The Definition of Success B.Follow Your Passion, and Success Will Follow
C.The Secret to Success D.How to Build a Meaningful Career
解析 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是文章第一段可知,在考虑创业或是改变职业道路时,与价值观、天赋、抱负、智力、自制力、毅力和运气相比,追随自己内心的热情通常更有助于企业和事业的成功。再结合倒数第二段内容可知,一个人越是对自己的工作充满热情,就越能提升自己,从而增加成功的概率。由此可知,B项作为本文标题最为贴切。故选B项。
