The letter from the headmaster couldn’t have been clearer: The bus will pick up your new kindergartner at the fixed bus stop. Parents are not to ride with children on the bus and in no way are parents to come to the school, whether to drop off their children or to take pictures. Parking space is not enough, even for teachers, staff, and buses, and additional cars are stopped from parking at the beginning or end of the school day.
That was all understandable but they didn’t know my five-year-old twins. Shy and sensitive, they hid whenever the doorbell rang. My apprehension on that first day of school was that my girls would hide under a bus seat, or somehow get lost or stolen. The first day of school wouldn’t be easy for them and me.
The day finally came. The bus was late, and I watched Morgan and Chloe get on, turn and wave on the top step. Okay, then I ran crazily. But I ran before the bus, not after the bus. Can’t a woman go for a run?
The bus finally overtook me a few hundred yards before the school building. Out of breath, I secretly moved to the front gate, hiding safely behind a large sports car. I had a bird’s-eye view of every child that climbed down the bus steps and walked into the school. I willed my breath to quiet down and I focused hard on just being still because getting caught would be beyond awkwardness. Sweat rolled down my forehead and mixed with the sunblock (防晒霜) I had used hours before, hurting my eyes and making me teary.
A few minutes went by. Two more buses emptied and left, and then there they were! Chloe smiled shyly as the headmaster gave her a big smile and “Welcome!” Morgan stayed tightly behind, but she was smiling and holding her sister’s hand. I said it was the sweat and the sunblock that made me teary. I was lying about that part.
4. What is the main message of the letter from the headmaster?
A. Parents can’t receive pictures of their children at school.
B. Parents are required to park far away from the school.
C. Parents should be in company with their children on the first day.
D. Parents are not allowed to drop off their children at school.
5. What does the underlined word “apprehension” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Promise. B. Fear. C. Plan. D. Impression.
6. What did the author do after watching her twins get on the bus?
A. She went home and waited for them to return in anxiety.
B. She ran after the bus to ensure her twins’ safety.
C. She went for a run before the bus reached the school.
D. She made her way to the school entrance as soon as possible.
7. What caused the author to cry actually?
A. The heat and physical tiredness from running.
B. The regret for not being able to be with her twins.
C. The emotional reaction to seeing her twins happy and safe.
D. The painful feeling from the sunblock getting into her eyes.
C
Conservationists (保护主义者) received good news recently after a big research project found that wildlife conservation projects are really effective.
At the moment, nearly a third of species that are observed by experts are ones classed as endangered due to human activities. Threats to these species include habitat loss and changes in weather patterns such as rising temperatures. Conservation projects aim to help improve species numbers and help them develop.
For the new study, a team of international researchers looked at 665 trials (试验) of conservation efforts between 1890 and 2019. The trials were across the world and focused on lots of different species. The results showed that two thirds of conservation trials either improved biodiversity—the variety of wildlife in an area or slowed down its decline (减少). The researchers said that when conservationist efforts do work, they “really work”.
Efforts to manage meat-eaters along the coast of Florida, US, which helped to improve the numbers of loggerhead turtles and least terns—a type of bird, were a success. Breeding (繁育) certain species and then freeing them into the wild, such as Chinook salmon and Cuban crocodiles, was also a successful conservation method. Although not all efforts were a success, sometimes they helped other species by accident. Off the coast of New South Wales, Australia, protected sea areas were created to improve seahorse numbers. The seahorse population actually fell because the protected waters attracted meat- eaters, such as octopuses, but the octopus population increased.
Although the study was global, there was less focus on Central and South America, Southeast Asia and parts of Africa, where there is less money for research. For the next stage of the study, the plan is to include more regions.
8. What can we know about the 665 conservation trials?
A. Most of them were successful. B. They were carried out in developed countries.
C. Most of their subjects were endangered species. D. They aimed to limit human influences on wildlife.
9. How does the author develop paragraph 4?
A. By providing examples. B. By comparing various species.
C. By presenting causes and effects. D. By listing similarities and differences.
10. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Southeast Asia didn’t pay attention to conservation projects.
B. Money should be raised to support the project.
C. More researchers should take part in the project.
D. The project will be carried out in a wider range of areas.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Climate Changes Affect Wildlife B. Conservation Projects Are Working
C. The Endangered Animal Populations Rise D. Conservation Projects Get Worldwide Attention
D
People experience emotional pain — often in the form of guilt (内疚) — when spending money. This is called the moral tax (道德税) or pain of payment. We can reduce this guilt by separating the enjoyment of a purchase (购买) from its payment. However, the best way to reduce moral tax is by receiving a gift—an item you don’t have to pay for at all!
As a result, the best gifts are items that normally bring particularly high levels of moral tax. This may include goods that appear overpriced and therefore bring particularly bad feelings of guilt upon purchase.
Curiously it’s not about the actual amount of money spent. What matters most are the emotions brought by the gift (or the guilt taken away). Consider the following example as an explanation.
For weeks, Anne has had her eye on a pair of designer shoes. They look incredibly stylish and go perfectly with her new winter coat. She’s got enough money to pay for the shoes but doesn’t think the purchase is necessary. After all, she already owns three other pairs of winter footwear. Still, Anne makes sure to mention the shoes to her husband Alex, and on Christmas morning she is overjoyed to open a large box containing the shoes. She is happy with the gift even though Alex bought it from their family bank account.
Looking at it from an economic point of view, Anne’s happiness doesn’t make any sense. Since she shares a bank account with her husband, it doesn’t matter who buys the shoes. The loss of money is the same either way. How can Anne be happy with Alex making a purchase she previously thought unnecessary? It all comes down to moral tax. By making the payment on Anne’s behalf, Alex cuts her wife’s pain of payment. Anne gets to enjoy her precious shoes guilt-free.
The experts suggest that the best gifts are things that people really want but refuse themselves to avoid feeling guilty. What are your partner’s secret wants and guilty pleasures? Unfortunately, that’s the one question you need to answer yourself.
12. What does the moral tax refer to in the text?
A. The guilt of receiving an expensive gift. B. The problems caused by overspending.
C. The feeling of satisfaction after making a purchase. D. The emotional pain coming from spending money.
13. Why does Anne refuse to buy the shoes herself?
A. She has got a similar pair. B. She is influenced by the moral tax.
C. She decides to put off satisfaction. D. She only wants to use her husband’s money.
14. What may an economist think of Anne’s excitement?
A. Unreasonable. B. Unreal. C. Interesting. D. Expected.
15. What do the experts suggest about the best gifts?
A. They should be practical and useful.
B. They should be expensive to show appreciation.
C. They should be items that people really want but avoid buying due to guilt.
D. They should be items that don’t cost people too much but are meaningful.

There is nothing quite as painful as being rejected. No one likes being rejected. ____16____ And it’s just a part of life, so it’s important to learn some information about it. The following are some suggestions that can help you deal with it.
Do not expect everyone to like you. This is an impossible expectation. ____17____ We can’t all feel connected to each other at all times. Once you have made peace with the realization that inclusion is not always the way things will turn out, you may start feeling calmer and less reactive and hurt.
Sometimes we make each other angry and may be rejected ____18____ We can use the phrase “cooling down” to replace rejection. It might not only be more right but it might also feel kinder and gentler.
____19____ It helps us not only understand our effects on others a bit more but every painful experience encourages us to learn new interpersonal skills and to have more empathy (共情) for the experiences of others.
You do not need to fix everything. Sometimes, it makes sense to sit with some uncertainty and ambiguity (模棱两可). Even if you want to repair everything, this is impossible. Work on learning to be comfortable with a bit of uncertainty. ____20____
A. You don’t like everyone, do you?
B. It is an excellent skill to have and teach.
C. Experiencing rejection is not always a bad thing.
D. We always get opportunities to meet new people.
E But rejection is served up in all sorts of ways and is never easy.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At that time, I worked where my children attended school. It felt more like a volunteer position considering my low pay, but it helped a little. I had no education beyond high school, no special skills or training. My husband, Jim, had never wanted me to work outside the home. He wanted me to be with our children. Great idea in theory, but my reality was telling me I needed to do more, be more.
When I attended classes at our local community college, my husband argued that I was wasting my time and was needed at home. His words pained me, but I argued that life was uncertain and I needed to be prepared for the worst. In truth, I was afraid he was right about wasting my time, but I just had to take the chance.
I had not been a smart student. Growing up, my brothers and I would bring our report cards home from school and dutifully place them in our parents’ hands. Dad would take my brothers’ reports and go over every grade carefully, discussing what the boys needed to do to make the best of their education to prepare for their future. When he looked at my report card, he checked to make sure I was passing everything and then wordlessly handed it back to me. He always told me that I wasn’t going to college. It would be a waste, and there weren’t enough resources to go around.
However, as I began classes at a relatively old age of thirty-four, I discovered that I was indeed smart enough. I found that I could not only hold my own in an academic setting, but I could do well. I had something to prove. I needed to know that I was an intelligent individual. I loved learning. I also wanted to contribute in a bigger way, not only to my family but to the community beyond. I wanted to teach. I wanted to continue and reach that goal. And, I realized, I wanted to prove my father wrong.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Moved by my determination, Jim eventually threw his full support behind me.

The letter from the headmaster couldn’t have been clearer: The bus will pick up your new kindergartner at the fixed bus stop. Parents are not to ride with children on the bus, and in no way are parents to come to the school, whether to drop off their children or to take pictures. Parking space is not enough, even for teachers, staff, and buses, and additional cars are stopped from parking at the beginning or end of the school day.
That was all understandable but they didn’t know my five-year-old twins. Shy and sensitive, they hid whenever the doorbell rang. My apprehension on that first day of school was that my girls would hide under a bus seat, or somehow get lost or stolen. The first day of school wouldn’t be easy for them and me.
The day finally came. The bus was late, and I watched Morgan and Chloe get on, turn and wave on the top step. Okay, then I ran crazily. But I ran before the bus, not after the bus. Can’t a woman go for a run?
The bus finally overtook me a few hundred yards before the school building. Out of breath, I secretly moved to the front gate, hiding safely behind a large sports car. I had a bird’s-eye view of every child that climbed down the bus steps and walked into the school. I willed my breath to quiet down and I focused hard on just being still because getting caught would be beyond awkwardness. Sweat rolled down my forehead and mixed with the sunblock (防晒霜) I had used hours before, hurting my eyes and making me teary.
A few minutes went by. Two more buses emptied and left, and then there they were! Chloe smiled shyly as the headmaster gave her a big smile and “Welcome!” Morgan stayed tightly behind, but she was smiling and holding her sister’s hand. I said it was the sweat and the sunblock that made me teary. I was lying about that part.
4. What is the main message of the letter from the headmaster?
A. Parents can’t receive pictures of their children at school.
B. Parents are required to park far away from the school.
C. Parents should be in company with their children on the first day.
D. Parents are not allowed to drop off their children at school.
5. What does the underlined word “apprehension” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Promise. B. Fear. C. Plan. D. Impression.
6. What did the author do after watching her twins get on the bus?
A. She went home and waited for them to return in anxiety.
B. She ran after the bus to ensure her twins’ safety.
C. She went for a run before the bus reached the school.
D. She made her way to the school entrance as soon as possible.
7. What caused the author to cry actually?
A. The heat and physical tiredness from running.
B. The regret for not being able to be with her twins.
C. The emotional reaction to seeing her twins happy and safe.
D. The painful feeling from the sunblock getting into her eyes.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. C

Conservationists (保护主义者) received good news recently after a big research project found that wildlife conservation projects are really effective.
At the moment, nearly a third of species that are observed by experts are ones classed as endangered due to human activities. Threats to these species include habitat loss and changes in weather patterns such as rising temperatures. Conservation projects aim to help improve species numbers and help them develop.
For the new study, a team of international researchers looked at 665 trials (试验) of conservation efforts between 1890 and 2019. The trials were across the world and focused on lots of different species. The results showed that two thirds of conservation trials either improved biodiversity—the variety of wildlife in an area or slowed down its decline (减少). The researchers said that when conservationist efforts do work, they “really work”.
Efforts to manage meat-eaters along the coast of Florida, US, which helped to improve the numbers of loggerhead turtles and least terns—a type of bird, were a success. Breeding (繁育) certain species and then freeing them into the wild, such as Chinook salmon and Cuban crocodiles, was also a successful conservation method. Although not all efforts were a success, sometimes they helped other species by accident. Off the coast of New South Wales, Australia, protected sea areas were created to improve seahorse numbers. The seahorse population actually fell because the protected waters attracted meat- eaters, such as octopuses, but the octopus population increased.
Although the study was global, there was less focus on Central and South America, Southeast Asia and parts of Africa, where there is less money for research. For the next stage of the study, the plan is to include more regions.
8. What can we know about the 665 conservation trials?
A. Most of them were successful. B. They were carried out in developed countries.
C. Most of their subjects were endangered species. D. They aimed to limit human influences on wildlife.
9. How does the author develop paragraph 4?
A. By providing examples. B. By comparing various species.
C. By presenting causes and effects. D. By listing similarities and differences.
10. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Southeast Asia didn’t pay attention to conservation projects.
B. Money should be raised to support the project.
C. More researchers should take part in the project.
D. The project will be carried out in a wider range of areas.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Climate Changes Affect Wildlife B. Conservation Projects Are Working
C. The Endangered Animal Populations Rise D. Conservation Projects Get Worldwide Attention
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了研究发现保护项目改进了许多物种的生存情况。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The results showed that two thirds of conservation trials either improved biodiversity—the variety of wildlife in an area or slowed down its decline(减少).(结果显示,三分之二的保护试验要么改善了生物多样性——一个地区的野生动物种类,要么减缓了其衰退。)”可知,大多数的保护试验是成功的。故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Breeding (繁育) certain species and then freeing them into the wild, such as Chinook salmon and Cuban crocodiles, was also a successful conservation method.(繁育某些物种并将其放归野外,例如奇努克鲑鱼和古巴鳄鱼,也是成功的保护方法。)”和“The seahorse population actually fell because the protected waters attracted meat- eaters, such as octopuses, but the octopus population increased.(海马的数量实际上下降了,因为受保护的水域吸引了肉食动物,如章鱼,但章鱼的数量却增加了。)”可知,作者通过提供具体的成功实例来展开段落。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although the study was global, there was less focus on Central and South America, Southeast Asia and parts of Africa, where there is less money for research. For the next stage of the study, the plan is to include more regions.(尽管这项研究是全球性的,但对中美洲和南美洲、东南亚以及部分非洲地区的关注较少,因为这些地方的研究资金较少。在研究的下一阶段,计划将更多地区纳入其中。)”可推知,该项目将在更广泛的领域进行。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Conservationists (保护主义者) received good news recently after a big research project found that wildlife conservation projects are really effective.(保护主义者最近收到了好消息,因为一项大型研究项目发现野生动物保护项目确实非常有效。)”和结合文章的主要内容可知,文章主要讨论了保护项目的有效性以及生物多样性的恢复,最能体现文章主题的标题是B项“保护项目正在起作用”。故选B项。
D
People experience emotional pain — often in the form of guilt (内疚) — when spending money. This is called the moral tax (道德税) or pain of payment. We can reduce this guilt by separating the enjoyment of a purchase (购买) from its payment. However, the best way to reduce moral tax is by receiving a gift—an item you don’t have to pay for at all!
As a result, the best gifts are items that normally bring particularly high levels of moral tax. This may include goods that appear overpriced and therefore bring particularly bad feelings of guilt upon purchase.
Curiously, it’s not about the actual amount of money spent. What matters most are the emotions brought by the gift (or the guilt taken away). Consider the following example as an explanation.
For weeks, Anne has had her eye on a pair of designer shoes. They look incredibly stylish and go perfectly with her new winter coat. She’s got enough money to pay for the shoes but doesn’t think the purchase is necessary. After all, she already owns three other pairs of winter footwear. Still, Anne makes sure to mention the shoes to her husband Alex, and on Christmas morning she is overjoyed to open a large box containing the shoes. She is happy with the gift even though Alex bought it from their family bank account.
Looking at it from an economic point of view Anne’s happiness doesn’t make any sense. Since she shares a bank account with her husband, it doesn’t matter who buys the shoes. The loss of money is the same either way. How can Anne be happy with Alex making a purchase she previously thought unnecessary? It all comes down to moral tax. By making the payment on Anne’s behalf, Alex cuts her wife’s pain of payment. Anne gets to enjoy her precious shoes guilt-free.
The experts suggest that the best gifts are things that people really want but refuse themselves to avoid feeling guilty. What are your partner’s secret wants and guilty pleasures? Unfortunately, that’s the one question you need to answer yourself.
12. What does the moral tax refer to in the text?
A. The guilt of receiving an expensive gift. B. The problems caused by overspending.
C. The feeling of satisfaction after making a purchase. D. The emotional pain coming from spending money.
13. Why does Anne refuse to buy the shoes herself?
A. She has got a similar pair. B. She is influenced by the moral tax.
C. She decides to put off satisfaction. D. She only wants to use her husband’s money.
14. What may an economist think of Anne’s excitement?
A. Unreasonable. B. Unreal. C. Interesting. D. Expected.
15. What do the experts suggest about the best gifts?
A. They should be practical and useful.
B. They should be expensive to show appreciation.
C. They should be items that people really want but avoid buying due to guilt.
D. They should be items that don’t cost people too much but are meaningful.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人们在花钱时会感受到的情感痛苦,即所谓的“道德税”,以及如何通过接受礼物来减少这种痛苦。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“People experience emotional pain — often in the form of guilt (内疚) — when spending money. This is called the moral tax (道德税) or pain of payment.(人们在花钱的时候会经历情感上的痛苦——通常表现为内疚。这就是所谓的道德税或支付之痛)”可知,道德税指的就是因为花钱造成的情感方面的痛苦感受。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“How can Anne be happy with Alex making a purchase she previously thought unnecessary? It all comes down to moral tax. By making the payment on Anne’s behalf, Alex cuts her wife’s pain of payment.(亚历克斯买了一件她以前认为不必要的东西,安妮怎么能开心呢?这一切都归结为道德税。通过替安妮付款,亚历克斯减轻了她妻子的付款痛苦)”可推测,安妮自己不买那双鞋是受道德税的影响。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Looking at it from an economic point of view, Anne’s happiness doesn’t make any sense. (从经济学的角度来看,安妮的开心没有任何意义)”可推测,一个经济学家会认为安妮的开心是没有道理的,夫妻俩谁买都是花了家里的钱,unreasonable和doesn’t make any sense.意思相近。故选A项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The experts suggest that the best gifts are things that people really want but refuse themselves to avoid feeling guilty.(专家建议,最好的礼物是人们真正想要的,但为了避免内疚而拒绝自己的东西)”可知,专家建议最好的礼物应该是对方特别想要但自己为避免花钱带来的内疚感而没买的东西。故选C项。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There is nothing quite as painful as being rejected. No one likes being rejected. ____16____ And it’s just a part of life, so it’s important to learn some information about it. The following are some suggestions that can help you deal with it.
Do not expect everyone to like you. This is an impossible expectation. ____17____ We can’t all feel connected to each other at all times. Once you have made peace with the realization that inclusion is not always the way things will turn out, you may start feeling calmer and less reactive and hurt.
Sometimes we make each other angry and may be rejected. ____18____ We can use the phrase “cooling down” to replace rejection. It might not only be more right but it might also feel kinder and gentler.
____19____ It helps us not only understand our effects on others a bit more but every painful experience encourages us to learn new interpersonal skills and to have more empathy (共情) for the experiences of others.
You do not need to fix everything. Sometimes, it makes sense to sit with some uncertainty and ambiguity (模棱两可). Even if you want to repair everything, this is impossible. Work on learning to be comfortable with a bit of uncertainty. ____20____
A. You don’t like everyone, do you?
B. It is an excellent skill to have and teach.
C. Experiencing rejection is not always a bad thing.
D. We always get opportunities to meet new people.

The following are some suggestions that can help you deal with it.(它只是生活的一部分,所以了解一些关于它的信息很重要。以下是一些建议,可以帮助你处理它)”可知,本句与上文构成转折关系,没有人喜欢被拒绝,但还是免不了被拒绝,后文给出建议。故E选项“但是拒绝有各种各样的方式,从来都不容易”符合语境,故选E。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Do not expect everyone to like you. This is an impossible expectation.(不要期望每个人都喜欢你。这是一个不可能的期望)”以及后文“We can’t all feel connected to each other at all times.(我们不可能每时每刻都感受到彼此的联系)”可知,上文提到不要期望每个人都喜欢你,后文提到我们不可能每时每刻都感受到彼此的联系,说明不是每个人都会喜欢你,反过来你也不是每个人都喜欢,故A选项“你不是每个人都喜欢,是吗?”符合语境,故选A。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Sometimes we make each other angry and may be rejected.(有时我们让对方生气,可能会被拒绝)”可知,上文提到让对方生气被拒绝,推测本句承接上文,说明应对方法。故G选项“如果是这样,可能需要几天或几周的冷静期”符合语境,故选G。
【19题详解】
根据后文“It helps us not only understand our effects on others a bit more but every painful experience encourages us to learn new interpersonal skills and to have more empathy (共情) for the experiences of others.(它不仅帮助我们更多地理解我们对他人的影响,而且每一次痛苦的经历都鼓励我们学习新的人际交往技巧,并对他人的经历有更多的同理心)”可知,本段主要论述了被拒绝的好处。故C选项“被拒绝并不总是一件坏事”符合语境,故选C。
【20题详解】
根据上文“You do not need to fix everything. Sometimes, it makes sense to sit with some uncertainty and ambiguity (模棱两可). Even if you want to repair everything, this is impossible.

【答案】范文
My Favorite Sport
Different people like different sports. My favorite sport is basketball.
The first time I watched an NBA game, I became crazy about basketball because the stars looked so cool on TV. I love basketball for two main reasons. For one thing, it requires me to run, jump, switch and try on hit! I am like a wind flying from my goal, which makes me feel so great! For another, basketball, a team sport, makes it necessary to cooperate with others. Therefore, I can make many good friends while playing.
I have played basketball for more than three years and it will still be my favorite sport in the future.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At that time, I worked where my children attended school. It felt more like a volunteer position considering my low pay, but it helped a little. I had no education beyond high school, no special skills or training. My husband, Jim, had never wanted me to work outside the home. He wanted me to be with our children. Great idea in theory, but my reality was telling me I needed to do more, be more.
When I attended classes at our local community college, my husband argued that I was wasting my time and was needed at home. His words pained me, but I argued that life was uncertain and I needed to be prepared for the worst. In truth, I was afraid he was right about wasting my time, but I just had to take the chance.
I had not been a smart student. Growing up, my brothers and I would bring our report cards home from school and dutifully place them in our parents’ hands. Dad would take my brothers’ reports and go over every grade carefully, discussing what the boys needed to do to make the best of their education to prepare for their future. When he looked at my report card, he checked to make sure I was passing everything and then wordlessly handed it back to me. He always told me that I wasn’t going to college. It would be a waste, and there weren’t enough resources to go around.
However, as I began classes at a relatively old age of thirty-four, I discovered that I was indeed smart enough. I found that I could not only hold my own in an academic setting, but I could do well. I had something to prove. I needed to know that I was an intelligent individual. I loved learning. I also wanted to contribute in a bigger way, not only to my family but to the community beyond. I wanted to teach. I wanted to continue and reach that goal. And, I realized, I wanted to prove my father wrong.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Moved by my determination, Jim eventually threw his full support behind me.

When I walked across the stage and received my diploma(文凭) , I felt like I could fly.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Moved by my passion for learning Jim eventually threw his full support behind me. He became the “single” parent while I concentrated on my courses and labored to perfect an essay. As a matter of fact, he did almost all the housework, including cooking, washing, and taking care of our children. Needless to say, it was his constant encouragement and unconditional support that made it possible for me to persist in pursuing my dream until I succeeded.
When I walked ae ross that stage and received my diploma, I felt like I could fly. I looked out at the crowd and saw my husband smiling at me with satisfaction. He was clearly proud of my accomplishment. Returning to school had been a risk. It could have proven my worst fears: I was not smart enough, good enough, or valuable enough. However, I seized he chance to find out who I could be and what I could do. This experience proved that we never know what we can do until we try. More importantly, it reminded me that it is I who am responsible for my life as well as my fate.
