A
When you’re choosing a college, a lot of factors probably may be considered: the school’s reputation, the classes offered, and the professors in your major, to name a few. However, considering the increasing competitiveness of universities to attract more and more applicants, many schools now offer extra benefits to be enjoyed by all of their students. Here are some of the coolest:
University of Missouri
When you think of a campus gym, you probably picture a room equipped with old weights and out-of-date machines. However, at the University of Missouri, you can enjoy one of the best campus fitness centers in the country. It features an “indoor beach” complete with a waterfall and a lazy river, as well as a full-service spa. Even if you don’t normally enjoy working out, Missouri’s fitness center will give you a reason to go to the gym.
High Point University
If you see yourself quickly tired of dining hall food — something that happens to almost all of us — High Point University in North Carolina has a great option for you: a private steakhouse for students. It’s a first-class restaurant, and, best of all, you don’t have to pay for the meal out of your own pocket. You can use your dining dollars instead.
Set on Hall University
If you’re stressing out about the extra cost of technology when you start college, Seton Hall has great news for you: all freshmen are given free laptops through the university’s Mobile Computing Program. As a freshman, you’ll receive a laptop already set up with all of the software that you’ll need as a student. Then, after two years, you’ll receive a new and updated laptop designed to carry to through until after you graduate.
New York University
If you’re a fan of museums, NYU (New York University) is the perfect university for you not only are you located in the heart of a city featuring some of the best museums in the world, but the university will even provide you with free admission to many of them. You can take advantage of visiting free museums at any time you want — and you’ll never be bored on the weekends.

Rob Shuter is a gossip columnist (漫谈栏作者), born partially deaf, with severely limited function in the one arm that is shorter than the other. Shuter’s own experience made him not only interested in what distinguishes people from one another, but also confident in his own differences.
Where does he gain such confidence? Shuter says that his family helps him grow up in spite of his special needs. “My mum taught me that being different wasn’t just fine, it was great,” he says. That opinion helped him handle many challenges that he faced.
Being a disabled child affected not just how he saw himself, but how Shuter saw other peopled who didn’t quite fit in. He says, “It made me really aware of how I look at people: I make eye contact; I really listen. I try not to judge a book by its cover and to find beauty in the strangest places.”
That’s why he never tucks away his arm and speaks so openly about his experience. “I have got a huge scar down my arm and if somebody asks or looks at it weirdly (怪异地), I don’t feel bad for myself or bad for them,” he says. “It’s true in beauty too when you notice things on your face or your body that nobody else does. The more out in the open my arm is the fewer people notice it.” He said again, “If you have a spot on your face, you really don’t need to cover it up. Just own it! If you are losing your hair, own it! The amount of effort and time people spend trying to cover something up, even their own personalities, is ridiculous.”
That candor (坦率) has worked well in his professional life. The gossip columnist refers to himself on his website as Naughty But Nice Rob. He’s honest about the stars’ faults, but he tries to do it through a lot of humor and kindness, in the same way he treats himself.
31. Rob Shuter is probably interested in ________.
A. judging people by their appearance
B. writing novels about the society
C. talking about his working experience
D. telling one’s difference from another’s
32. How does Rob Shuter think of his physical difference?
A. He is a bit unhappy and helpless.
B. He doesn’t think it is bad but great.
C. He thinks it has a deep effect on him.
D He thinks bad things mean good ones.
33. What does the underlined phrase “tucks away” mean?
A. Covers up. B. Notices. C. Shows up. D. Explains.
34. Which is absurd in the opinion of Rob Shuter?
A. Often making mistakes.
B. Laughing at someone else.
C. A scar being in the face.
D. One’s covering up his faults
35. Which of the following can describe Rob Shuter?
A. Naughty, active and kind.
B. Friendly, loyal and clever.
C. Honest, humorous and confident.
D. Respectful, social and reasonable.

The Tianjin Binhai Public Library was described by The Daily Mail as “the world’s ultimate library” in 2017, and “breathtaking” was the word chosen for it. One book at the library and you’ll see why. With its futuristic design and walls loaded with books, it’s the dream library of every book lover.
But as the awe continues, there’s a burning question lying in the back of our minds: When physical bookstores are closing down one by one, what makes libraries immune from digitalization? And do we still need libraries as we’ve got the Internet in our hands?
Reporter Ian Clark has the answer. “Libraries are not declining in importance - people are simply changing the way they use them,” he wrote. What Clark means is that libraries have shifted from simply being storehouses of books to a medium to help “bridge the gap between the haves and the have-nots”. According to him, Libraries Are Essential. Since not everyone can afford a smart phone, a tablet or an Internet connection, and not everyone has the know-how to search the internet efficiently, it’s public libraries that make sure that these resources and technologies are available to a larger group of people. And one of the pitfalls that come with online materials is that they’re not always trustworthy. “Google doesn’t tell you what you’re not getting, so people need to evaluate the quality and completeness of what they see on their screens, ” Sarah Pritchard, dean of libraries at Northwestern University, told Northwestern Research Magazine. And libraries are usually where that “evaluation” happens.
But all of these practical functions aside, we still need the physical space that a library provides. It’s something that's called a “third place”, according to the Seattle Times. This is a place in which we can fully concentrate on our study and work without easily getting distracted. And compared to other “third places” like coffee shops, libraries have a “non-commercial nature” that allows you to relax completely. “Nobody is trying to sell you anything in the library. There is no pressure to buy and there is no judgment of your choices,” Anne Goulding, a professor at Victoria University in New Zealand, said. “There are few other spaces that you can just ‘be’ without somebody questioning your presence or your motivation.”
36. The attraction of the Tianjin Binhai Public Library lies in _______.
A. world's ultimate library B. design and book walls
C. every book lover's dream D. reports on The Daily Mail
37. The underlined word “pitfalls” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. problems B. functions C. mistakes D. trends
38. What would Ian Clark probably agree with?
A. Libraries have changed the way people read.
B. Libraries are as important as they used to be.
C. Libraries are better used by the poor than the rich.
D. Libraries are made more available to more people.
39. What advantages do libraries have over coffee shops according to Anne Goulding?
A. Libraries make people less likely to get distracted.
B. Libraries give people more motivation and inspiration.
C. Libraries provide people with a wider range of choices.
D. Libraries allow people to read without fear of being judged.
40. Where can you probably find the above passage?
A. In a news report. B. In an introductory speech.
C. In a science magazine. D. In a fashion brochure.

Bethany Hamilton has become a source of inspiration for millions through her story of faith, determination and hope. And now her story has become a major movie which is entitled Soul Surfer.
Born into a family of surfers on February 8, 1990, on the island of Kauai Hawaii, Bethany began surfing at a young age. At the age of eight, Bethany entered her first surf competition---- winning both the short and long board divisions and sparking a love for surf competition within her spirit.
On October 31, 2003, at the age of 13. Bethany was attacked by a 14-foot tiger shark while surfing just off the shore of Hawaii. Bethany said, “It came out of the blue. I had no warning at all; not even the slightest sign of danger on the horizon. The waves were small and inconsistent, and I was just kind of rolling along with them, relaxing on my board with my left arm dangling (悬摆) in the cool water. I remember thinking, ‘I hope the surf picks up soon...’”
“That's all it took: a split second. I felt a lot of pressure and a couple of lightning fast tugs(猛拽) .Then I watched in shock as the water around me turned bright red. Somehow, I stayed calm. My left arm was gone along with a huge piece of my surfboard...”
Her friends had to get her to the beach which took 20 minutes of paddling. After losing more than 40 percent of her blood and making it through several surgeries, Bethany was well on her way to recovery due to an unbelievably positive attitude.
In January 2004, Bethany made her return to surf competition and with no intention of stopping, Bethany continued to enter and shine in competitions. Initially, she adopted a custom-made board that was longer and slightly thicker than standard and had a handle for her right arm, making it easier to paddle, and she learned to kick more to make up for the loss of her left arm.
Just over a year after the attack, she took first place---- winning her first National Title. Now she competes with the world's best and travels the globe.
51. What was Bethany Hamilton's dream when she was young? (No more than 10 words)
52. What is the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 3? (No more than 5 words)
53. According to the passage, how did Bethany make a recovery? (No more than 10 words)
54. How did Bethany surf when she started surfing again? (No more than 15 words)
55. Please explain how you are inspired by Bethany Hamilton. (No more than 20 words)

A
When you’re choosing a college, a lot of factors probably may be considered: the school’s reputation, the classes offered, and the professors in your major, to name a few. However, considering the increasing competitiveness of universities to attract more and more applicants, many schools now offer extra benefits to be enjoyed by all of their students. Here are some of the coolest:
University of Missouri
When you think of a campus gym, you probably picture a room equipped with old weights and out-of-date machines. However, at the University of Missouri, you can enjoy one of the best campus fitness centers in the country. It features an “indoor beach” complete with a waterfall and a lazy river, as well as a full-service spa. Even if you don’t normally enjoy working out, Missouri’s fitness center will give you a reason to go to the gym.
High Point University
If you see yourself quickly tired of dining hall food — something that happens to almost all of us — High Point University in North Carolina has a great option for you: a private steakhouse for students. It’s a first-class restaurant, and, best of all, you don’t have to pay for the meal out of your own pocket. You can use your dining dollars instead.
Set on Hall University
If you’re stressing out about the extra cost of technology when you start college, Seton Hall has great news for you: all freshmen are given free laptops through the university’s Mobile Computing Program. As a freshman, you’ll receive a laptop already set up with all of the software that you’ll need as a student. Then, after two years, you’ll receive a new and updated laptop designed to carry to through until after you graduate.
New York University
If you’re a fan of museums, NYU (New York University) is the perfect university for you not only are you located in the heart of a city featuring some of the best museums in the world, but the university will even provide you with free admission to many of them. You can take advantage of visiting free museums at any time you want — and you’ll never be bored on the weekends.

Rob Shuter is a gossip columnist (漫谈栏作者), born partially deaf, with severely limited function in the one arm that is shorter than the other. Shuter’s own experience made him not only interested in what distinguishes people from one another, but also confident in his own differences.
Where does he gain such confidence? Shuter says that his family helps him grow up in spite of his special needs. “My mum taught me that being different wasn’t just fine, it was great,” he says. That opinion helped him handle many challenges that he faced.
Being a disabled child affected not just how he saw himself, but how Shuter saw other peopled who didn’t quite fit in. He says, “It made me really aware of how I look at people: I make eye contact; I really listen. I try not to judge a book by its cover and to find beauty in the strangest places.”
That’s why he never tucks away his arm and speaks so openly about his experience. “I have got a huge scar down my arm and if somebody asks or looks at it weirdly (怪异地), I don’t feel bad for myself or bad for them,” he says. “It’s true in beauty too when you notice things on your face or your body that nobody else does. The more out in the open my arm is the fewer people notice it.” He said again, “If you have a spot on your face, you really don’t need to cover it up. Just own it! If you are losing your hair, own it! The amount of effort and time people spend trying to cover something up, even their own personalities, is ridiculous.”
That candor (坦率) has worked well in his professional life. The gossip columnist refers to himself on his website as Naughty But Nice Rob. He’s honest about the stars’ faults, but he tries to do it through a lot of humor and kindness, in the same way he treats himself.
31. Rob Shuter is probably interested in ________.
A. judging people by their appearance
B. writing novels about the society
C. talking about his working experience
D. telling one’s difference from another’s
32. How does Rob Shuter think of his physical difference?
A. He is a bit unhappy and helpless.
B. He doesn’t think it is bad but great.
C. He thinks it has a deep effect on him.
D. He thinks bad things mean good ones.
33. What does the underlined phrase “tucks away” mean?
A. Covers up. B. Notices. C. Shows up. D. Explains.
34. Which is absurd in the opinion of Rob Shuter?
A. Often making mistakes.
B. Laughing at someone else.
C. A scar being in the face.
D. One’s covering up his faults
35. Which of the following can describe Rob Shuter?
A. Naughty, active and kind.
B. Friendly, loyal and clever.
C. Honest, humorous and confident.
D. Respectful, social and reasonable.
【答案】31. D 32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲的是漫谈栏作者Rob Shuter虽然天生部分失聪,一只手臂比另一只短,功能严重受限,但是他对自己充满了信心。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“Shuter’s own experience made him not only interested in what distinguishes people from one another, but also confident in his own differences.(Shuter自己的经历使他不仅对人与人之间的区别感兴趣,而且对自己的差异充满信心。)”可知,Rob Shuter可能对分辨出彼此的不同感兴趣。故选D。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“My mum taught me that being different wasn’t just fine, it was great.(我妈妈告诉我,与众不同不仅好,而且很棒。)”可知,Rob Shuter不认为他的身体差异是不好的,而觉得这是很好的,故选B。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段的“speaks so openly about his experience(如此坦率地谈论他的经历)”和“If you have a spot on your face, you really don’t need to cover it up. Just own it! If you are losing your hair, own it! The amount of effort and time people spend trying to cover something up, even their own personalities, is ridiculous.(如果你脸上有斑点,你真的不需要把它遮住。承认吧!如果你正在脱发,承认吧!人们花费大量的精力和时间试图掩盖一些事情,甚至是他们自己的个性,这是荒谬的。)”可知,他不主张把自己的缺陷遮住,所以划线词所在句子表示“这就是为什么他从不收起他的手臂,如此坦率地谈论他的经历”,划线短语意为“遮盖”,和covers up意思相近,故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“If you have a spot on your face, you really don’t need to cover it up. Just own it! If you are losing your hair, own it! The amount of effort and time people spend trying to cover something up, even their own personalities, is ridiculous.(如果你脸上有斑点,你真的不需要把它遮住。承认吧!如果你正在脱发,承认吧!人们花费大量的精力和时间试图掩盖一些事情,甚至是他们自己的个性,这是荒谬的。)”可知,在Rob Shuter看来一个人在掩盖他的缺陷是荒谬的,故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Shuter’s own experience made him not only interested in what distinguishes people from one another, but also confident in his own differences.(Shuter自己的经历使他不仅对人与人之间的区别感兴趣,而且对自己的差异充满信心。)”可知,他是自信的;第四段的“That’s why he never tucks away his arm and speaks so openly about his experience.(这就是为什么他从不收起他的手臂,如此坦率地谈论他的经历。)”可知,他是诚实的;根据最后一段的“The gossip columnist refers to himself on his website as Naughty But Nice Rob.(这位八卦专栏作家在自己的网站上称自己为“顽皮但不错的Rob”。)”可知,Rob Shuter是诚实、幽默、自信的,即可以用Honest, humorous和confident来描述他。故选C。
C
The Tianjin Binhai Public Library was described by The Daily Mail as “the world’s ultimate library” in 2017, and “breathtaking” was the word chosen for it. One book at the library and you’ll see why. With its futuristic design and walls loaded with books, it’s the dream library of every book lover.
But as the awe continues, there’s a burning question lying in the back of our minds: When physical bookstores are closing down one by one, what makes libraries immune from digitalization? And do we still need libraries as we’ve got the Internet in our hands?
Reporter Ian Clark has the answer. “Libraries are not declining in importance - people are simply changing the way they use them,” he wrote. What Clark means is that libraries have shifted from simply being storehouses of books to a medium to help “bridge the gap between the haves and the have-nots”. According to him, Libraries Are Essential. Since not everyone can afford a smart phone, a tablet or an Internet connection, and not everyone has the know-how to search the internet efficiently, it’s public libraries that make sure that these resources and technologies are available to a larger group of people. And one of the pitfalls that come with online materials is that they’re not always trustworthy. “Google doesn’t tell you what you’re not getting, so people need to evaluate the quality and completeness of what they see on their screens, ” Sarah Pritchard, dean of libraries at Northwestern University, told Northwestern Research Magazine. And libraries are usually where that “evaluation” happens.
But all of these practical functions aside, we still need the physical space that a library provides. It’s something that's called a “third place”, according to the Seattle Times. This is a place in which we can fully concentrate on our study and work without easily getting distracted. And compared to other “third places” like coffee shops, libraries have a “non-commercial nature” that allows you to relax completely. “Nobody is trying to sell you anything in the library. There is no pressure to buy and there is no judgment of your choices,” Anne Goulding, a professor at Victoria University in New Zealand, said. “There are few other spaces that you can just ‘be’ without somebody questioning your presence or your motivation.”
36. The attraction of the Tianjin Binhai Public Library lies in _______.
A. world's ultimate library B. design and book walls
C. every book lover's dream D. reports on The Daily Mail
37. The underlined word “pitfalls” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. problems B. functions C. mistakes D. trends
38. What would Ian Clark probably agree with?
A. Libraries have changed the way people read.
B. Libraries are as important as they used to be.
C. Libraries are better used by the poor than the rich.
D. Libraries are made more available to more people.
39. What advantages do libraries have over coffee shops according to Anne Goulding?
A. Libraries make people less likely to get distracted.
B. Libraries give people more motivation and inspiration.
C. Libraries provide people with a wider range of choices.
D. Libraries allow people to read without fear of being judged.
40. Where can you probably find the above passage?
A. In a news report. B. In an introductory speech.
C. In a science magazine. D. In a fashion brochure.
【答案】36. B 37. A 38. D 39. D 40. C
【解析】

【37题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文的“come with online materials is that they’re not always trustworthy(网上的资料并不总是值得信赖的)”可知,网上的资料并不总是值得信赖,即网上的资料存在问题,则划线词意思是“问题”。故选A。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Reporter Ian Clark has the answer. “Libraries are not declining in importance - people are simply changing the way they use them,” he wrote. What Clark means is that libraries have shifted from simply being storehouses of books to a medium to help “bridge the gap between the haves and the have-nots”. According to him, Libraries Are Essential. Since not everyone can afford a smart phone, a tablet or an Internet connection, and not everyone has the know-how to search the internet efficiently, it’s public libraries that make sure that these resources and technologies are available to a larger group of people.(记者伊恩·克拉克将带来答案。“图书馆的重要性并没有下降——人们只是改变了使用图书馆的方式,”他写道。克拉克的意思是,图书馆已经从单纯的图书仓库转变为一种帮助“弥合贫富差距”的媒介。在他看来,图书馆是必不可少的。由于不是每个人都买得起智能手机、平板电脑或互联网连接,也不是每个人都知道如何有效地搜索互联网,所以公共图书馆可以确保更多的人可以使用这些资源和技术。)”可知,在伊恩·克拉克看来,与电子设备和互联网相比,现实中更多的人可以多多走近图书馆来获取信息和资源。故选D。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的““Nobody is trying to sell you anything in the library. There is no pressure to buy and there is no judgment of your choices,” Anne Goulding, a professor at Victoria University in New Zealand, said.(“在图书馆里,没有人试图向你推销任何东西。没有购买的压力,也没有对你的选择的评判,”新西兰维多利亚大学教授安妮·古尔丁说)”可知,图书馆的优势在于它让人们在阅读时不用担心被评判。故选D。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,根据第一段的“The Tianjin Binhai Public Library was described by The Daily Mail as “the world’s ultimate library” in 2017, and “breathtaking” was the word chosen for it. One book at the library and you’ll see why. With its futuristic design and walls loaded with books, it’s the dream library of every book lover.(天津滨海公共图书馆在2017年被《每日邮报》称为“世界上的终极图书馆”,“令人惊叹”这个词是为它选择的。在图书馆读一本书,你就会明白为什么。它的未来主义设计和装满书籍的墙壁,是每个图书爱好者的梦想图书馆。)”和第二段的“But as the awe continues, there’s a burning question lying in the back of our minds: When physical bookstores are closing down one by one, what makes libraries immune from digitalization? And do we still need libraries as we’ve got the Internet in our hands?(但随着敬畏之情的持续,一个迫切的问题在我们的脑海中挥之不去:当实体书店一个接一个地倒闭时,是什么让图书馆免受数字化的影响?既然我们有了互联网,我们还需要图书馆吗?)”和最后一段的““Nobody is trying to sell you anything in the library. There is no pressure to buy and there is no judgment of your choices,” Anne Goulding, a professor at Victoria University in New Zealand, said.(“在图书馆里,没有人试图向你推销任何东西。没有购买的压力,也没有对你的选择的评判,”新西兰维多利亚大学教授安妮·古尔丁说)”可知,文章讨论了图书馆在数字时代的意义,图书馆在社会中角色的演变,以及关于图书馆在技术进步中的相关性的持续争论,这是探索社会趋势和问题的文章,应该出自专业的科学杂志。故选C。

阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题
Bethany Hamilton has become a source of inspiration for millions through her story of faith, determination and hope. And now her story has become a major movie which is entitled Soul Surfer.
Born into a family of surfers on February 8, 1990, on the island of Kauai Hawaii, Bethany began surfing at a young age. At the age of eight, Bethany entered her first surf competition---- winning both the short and long board divisions and sparking a love for surf competition within her spirit.
On October 31, 2003, at the age of 13. Bethany was attacked by a 14-foot tiger shark while surfing just off the shore of Hawaii. Bethany said, “It came out of the blue. I had no warning at all; not even the slightest sign of danger on the horizon. The waves were small and inconsistent, and I was just kind of rolling along with them, relaxing on my board with my left arm dangling (悬摆) in the cool water. I remember thinking, ‘I hope the surf picks up soon...’”
“That's all it took: a split second. I felt a lot of pressure and a couple of lightning fast tugs(猛拽) .Then I watched in shock as the water around me turned bright red. Somehow, I stayed calm. My left arm was gone along with a huge piece of my surfboard...”
Her friends had to get her to the beach which took 20 minutes of paddling. After losing more than 40 percent of her blood and making it through several surgeries, Bethany was well on her way to recovery due to an unbelievably positive attitude.
In January 2004, Bethany made her return to surf competition and with no intention of stopping, Bethany continued to enter and shine in competitions. Initially, she adopted a custom-made board that was longer and slightly thicker than standard and had a handle for her right arm, making it easier to paddle, and she learned to kick more to make up for the loss of her left arm.
Just over a year after the attack, she took first place---- winning her first National Title. Now she competes with the world's best and travels the globe.

At the age of eight, Bethany entered her first surf competition---- winning both the short and long board divisions and sparking a love for surf competition within her spirit.(Bethany于1990年2月8日出生在夏威夷考艾岛的一个冲浪者家庭,从小就开始冲浪。在八岁的时候,Bethany参加了她的第一个冲浪比赛----赢得了短板和长板组,并在她的精神中点燃了对冲浪比赛的爱。)”可知,Bethany从小就热爱冲浪,想成为一个专业的冲浪者,故答案为To become a (professional) surfer.

【52题详解】
考查句意猜测。根据划线处的下文“I had no warning at all; not even the slightest sign of danger on the horizon. ” 我完全没有得到任何警告;地平线上一点危险的迹象都没有。由此可推断上文描述这个事情太突然了,一点迹象也没有,故答案为It came unexpectedly. Or: It came by surprise.
【53题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第五段“After losing more than 40 percent of her blood and making it through several surgeries, Bethany was well on her way to recovery due to an unbelievably positive attitude.” (在失血超过40%并经历了几次手术后,Bethany的恢复非常顺利,因为她有着令人难以置信的积极态度)可知,Bethany会恢复这么顺利,主要是因为她的态度很积极,故答案为She made a recovery due to an unbelievably positive attitude.
【54题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章倒数第二段“Initially, she adopted a custom-made board that was longer and slightly thicker than standard and had a handle for her right arm, making it easier to paddle, and she learned to kick more to make up for the loss of her left arm.” 起初,她采用了一块比标准的更长、略厚的定制冲浪板,右臂上还有一个把手,这样划起来更容易。她还学会了多踢水,以弥补失去左臂的损失,由此可知,Bethany再一次开始冲浪主要靠定制的冲浪板和右臂,并且多踢水,故答案为She used a custom-made board with a handle for her right arm and kicked more. Or: By using a custom-made board with a handle for her right arm and kicking more.
【55题详解】
主观题,答案不唯一。以下供参考:根据文章第五段“After losing more than 40 percent of her blood and making it through several surgeries, Bethany was well on her way to recovery due to an unbelievably positive attitude.” (在失血超过40%并经历了几次手术后,Bethany的恢复非常顺利,因为她有着令人难以置信的积极态度)、第六段“In January 2004, Bethany made her return to surf competition and with no intention of stopping, Bethany continued to enter and shine in competitions. ”(2004年1月,Bethany重返冲浪比赛,不想停下来,Bethany继续参加比赛并发光)以及最后一段“Just over a year after the attack, she took first place---- winning her first National Title.” (袭击发生一年多后,她获得了第一名----,赢得了她的第一个全国冠军。由此可推断,Bethany面对困难的时候没有失去信心和勇气,并且用积极的态度战胜困难并获得最终的胜利)可知,她的故事告诉我们信念和决心可以帮助我们战胜困难/在困难面前,我们不应该灰心,故答案为Bethany's story tells me that faith and determination can help overcome difficulties. Or: We should not lose heart in the face of difficulties, and we can overcome them with courage and strong determination.
