Jennifer Mauer has needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal of earning a nursing degree. That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin⁃Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor􀆳s degree. Mauer, of Edgar, Wisconsin, grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition (学费), because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling. Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW⁃Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph􀆳s Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four⁃year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jennifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: 44 Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68⁃year⁃old mother helped take care of the children at times. Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honours. Jennifer sacrificed to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. “Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers,” she says. However, her children have learned an important lesson witnessing their mother earn her degree.

The Youth Commission meeting (青年委员会) only just started.

A      How to Improve Your Perseverance     If you􀆳re familiar with the story of the hare and the tortoise, you know that the tortoise proved that perseverance is much more important than speed.   1   , but fewer people have the patience and perseverance of the tortoise. Here are some tips that can help you to improve your perseverance.     •  2  .     If you don􀆳t know what you want to accomplish, it􀆳s hard to persevere. Choose one or two goals that are most important to you and work towards them, instead of making many projects that may upset you. 35     •Make a list of the steps needed to reach your goal, and cross each step off the list as you complete it.     If you want to master the ability to cook German dishes, you􀆳ll need to read cookbooks, study the recipes, buy ingredients (食料) and practise making the dishes.   3  .     •Make a list of the rewards related to any project to encourage yourself to persevere.

Like the hare, many people start off strong B. And you should focus on every step carefully C. You can􀆳t lose weight only by going on a diet D. Set goals and write them down E. But there are big rewards for doing so F. Write down all these steps and remove each step as you go G. Or you can write out a paragraph or two about how reaching your goal will change your life B Fill in the blanks with suitable words according to the context.     The important thing in life is to have a great goal and the determination to attain it. Living without a goal is like 6.         ( sail) without a compass. Lack of purposes is the cause of most 7.         ( failure). When a great aim has been decided on, determination and persistence are most important.     What separates the successful from the unsuccessful is persistence. Persistence is necessary. If you are persistent, you will succeed. Ludwig van Beethoven 8.         ( undergo) much pressure and hardship before he reached his peak. He tried to fight his way out after he became 9.         ( total) deaf.

And look at all those award cups. It would be a good idea for you to􀆺 Sally: It􀆳s true that I have some wonderful memories. I enjoyed visiting other countries, and the Olympics were very exciting. But I missed more important things. While other girls were growing up, I was swimming. What would you do if you were me? Tom: You know, making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of sweats, failure and discouragement along the way. The real test is whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you choose to persevere. So if I were you, I would hold on to the last. Sally: Well, your words really sound reasonable and encouraging. Thank you very much. Listening, Speaking and Writing Ⅰ. 1. C    2. B Ⅱ. 1.

I went to teach seventh graders math in the New York City public schools. What struck me was that IQ was not the only difference between my best and my worst students. I was firmly convinced that every one of my students could learn the material if they worked hard and long enough. What if doing well in school and in life depends on much more than your ability to learn quickly and easily?     So I left the classroom, and I went to graduate school to become a psychologist. I started studying kids and adults in all kinds of super challenging settings, and in every study my question was, who is successful here and why? In all those very different contexts, the key to success wasn􀆳t social intelligence. It wasn􀆳t good looks, physical health, and it wasn􀆳t IQ. It was grit.     Grit is passion and perseverance for very long⁃term goals. Grit is sticking with your future, day in, day out, not just for the month, but for years, and working really hard to make that future a reality. Grit is living life like it􀆳s a marathon, not a sprint.     Talent doesn􀆳t make you gritty. Our data show very clearly that there are many talented individuals who simply do not follow through on their commitments. In fact, in our data, grit is usually unrelated or even inversely related to measures of talent.
