Dear Peter,
I hope this mail finds you well. I am Li Hua, in charge of our school’s English radio station. I am writing to seek your advice.
Our English radio station plans to improve programs. First, we’ll add a “Daily English Corner” where students can share stories in English. Second, we’ll invite foreign teachers to record short lectures on Western culture. We value your advice a lot. Could you share your thoughts on these ideas? We hope the improvements will make the program better.
I would appreciate it if you could give some practical advice. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

Paragraph 1:
The day I graduated, I gave my mum the medal. Her eyes were filled with tears as she held it, saying it was the most precious gift she had ever received. I told her that none of this would have happened if she hadn’t found that scholarship brochure. She hugged me tightly, and I knew at that moment that all the hard times were worth it because they had led us here. Recalling the loan I had got during my college life, I knew I had a long way to go.
Paragraph 2:
I found a good job after college, paid off my loan, and won another scholarship for a master’s degree. My parents moved to a bigger house, and I often took them to visit my college, where we walked around the campus that once felt strange but now felt like home. Dad always says that the best opportunity is the one you work hard to seize, and I know he’s right. This journey has taught me that with love and effort, dreams can come true.

Just under the radar fly many smaller Parisian museums that make space for the
fantastic, the gritty and the unexpected.
Museum of the History of Medicine
The collections exhibited here are mainly medical instruments, especially those from
the 16th to the 19th century. Among the most prized artifacts are the surgical (外科的 )
knife used for Louis XIV’s operation in 1686, and the wooden anatomical (解剖的) model
ordered by General Napoleon Bonaparte in Italy in 1796.
Open time: 2:00 pm—5:30 pm, Monday to Saturday (Closed on Thursday)
Duration: 1—2 hours
Charge: €3.50 (Discount price: £2.50)
Museum of Perfume

effect on memory, mood and experience. The Museum of Perfume is dedicated to
exploring the approach and history behind perfume making.
Open time: 9:00 am—5:30 pm
Duration: <1 hour
Charge: free
Museum of Fairground Arts

Birds of a feather tend to flock together, but birds in personalized period costumes can
only be found in one place.
Australia has an annual duck fashion show. While it sounds like something that
happens when your close friends correct your secret thoughts about fashion, it is, in fact, a
real thing. It has been a part of Sydney’s “Royal Easter Show” for over 30 years. This
annual event, attracting an average of 900,000 visitors, is a celebration of agriculture,
entertainment, and culture in Sydney. The duck fashion show, in particular, has become one
of the highlights, offering a unique and adorable sight that demarcates it from other shows
within the event.
There’s one special event that you can only find at this show. It’s called the Pied Piper
Duck Show, and it’s basically ducks dressed in costumes waddling down a “cat walk”.
The mastermind behind this delightful event is farmer Brian Harrington, an Australian
farmer who organized the event from its beginning until his death in 2015. With his
passion for both ducks and fashion, he has been dressing his ducks according to the latest
fashion trends for each show for about 25 years. Although Brian is gone, the show must go
on, and more and more people regularly attend the fashion show each year.
During the show, ducks model three outfits: daytime, evening, and wedding. Their
outfits have to look as if they’ve stepped out of an 1800s time capsule. Top hats, bustles,
corset dresses, and tiny lady hats are all common sights on the duck runway. Visitors can’t
get enough of the adorable animals, and at the end, they get to vote on their favorites.
Australians are known for strange ideas, but this is a new level of cuteness we can never
have expected!
24. Which can replace the underlined word “demarcates” in Paragraph 2?
A. Prevents. B. Distinguishes. C. Protects. D. Requires.
25. Which of the following best describes Brian Harrington?
A. Creative and admirable. B. Traditional and reliable.
C. Cautious and confident. D. Wealthy and generous.
26. What do we know about the three outfits?
A. They result from the visitors’ voting.
B. They represent future fashion concepts.
C. They actually feature 19th-century styles.
D. They are recycled from historical materials.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. The life story of an Australian farmer.
B. A duck farming competition in Sydney.
C. A special duck fashion show in Australia.
D. The history of Sydney’s Royal Easter Show.

AI has captured the spirit of the times in recent years, especially since the release of
OpenAI’s ChatGPT in 2022. As AI is catching on, it promises to change learning for the
better.
Already, there are AI-powered tutoring (辅导 ) tools that can support learners. One
2024 study, led by the University of Oxford, found that school students in Ghana who used
an Al-powered math tutor through WhatsApp for half an hour, twice a week, over eight
months had “higher” math growth scores than those in a control group.
“Until now, expert, personalized tutoring has been too expensive for people,” points
out Joseph South, chief-innovation officer at the International Society for Technology in
Education. “AI-powered tutors can offer this experience for online learners at an affordable
price.”
However, there are still possible problems to address. AI can present fiction as fact,
which could mean students might “learn” incorrect information. Similarly, AI can develop
biases (偏见) based on the data used to train it, and possibly pass them on to learners. In
addition, experts warn that any educational institution needs to have strict rules on what
student personal information can be fed into AI tools, to reduce privacy risks.
But, to some, the biggest risk is to the learning process. “As students increasingly
depend on AI tools, they may use them as quick solutions, which will influence their
ability to pick up basic learning skills,” says Emily DeJeu, assistant teaching professor of
business management communication at Carnegie Mellon University. “Is that good for
them in the long term?” she asks. “This is still an open question.”
To protect students, she suggests “we need government rules to provide guidance to
schools”. And she adds: “The greatest risk of all with AI is doing nothing. The world has
changed and is changing. We should change how we teach and what we teach to welcome
AI.”
28. What can we conclude from the 2024 study in Ghana?
A. Students prefer AI tutors to human ones.
B. AI tutors are intended for poor math learners.
C. Students are eager for free personalized tutoring.
D. AI tutoring helps improve math grades to some degree.
29. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. AI’s development trends. B. AI’s data management.
C. AI’s potential disadvantages. D. AI’s information security.
30. What is the biggest risk regarding AI according to Emily DeJeu?
A. The behavior of taking no action.
B. The increase in the learning process.
C. The attitude of ignoring future plans.
D. The over-dependence on learning skills.
31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Influence of AI’s Rapid Update
B. The Concern about Modern AI Technology
C. AI in Education: Opportunities and Challenges
D. AI Tools: Replacing Traditional Teaching Forms

For the first time, scientists have mapped the 3D structure of DNA from a
52,000-year-old mammoth (猛玛象). This advance, published in Cell, let researchers piece
together the creature’s genome (基因组) accurately and find signs of past gene activity in
its cells.
Ancient DNA usually appears in short, broken pieces. It is from these pieces that
researchers have identified new species of early humans, and rewritten the history of how
horses were tamed.
“This new work opens up major new possibilities of exploring the biology of extinct
species,” says Adrian Lister, a paleontologist at the Natural History Museum in London.
“This is an astonishing study.”
For more than a century, many geneticists have doubted these types of structures could
be preserved in fossils. In living creatures, DNAmolecules (分子) twist or wind as proteins
turn various genes on or off. After organisms die, however, these molecules start to break
apart, forming pieces that spread out like dye in water. The DNA in the mammoth sample
broke up but didn’t spread: the pieces ran into a rare molecular traffic jam, so they got
stuck in place, keeping complete chromosome structures as tiny as 50 nanometers across.
The team says the sample probably held up so well because it underwent
freeze-drying. Soon after the mammoth died, permafrost (永冻层) blanketed its body. The
low temperature slowed the motion of its molecules, and the dry atmosphere in tundra
regions meant there was no water available for the DNA pieces to move through, leaving
the sample more shelf-stable than the average supermarket snack.
The researchers aren’t sure how likely it is that other fossils could have remained just
like the 52,000-year-old sample. But Aiden, a geneticist at the Baylor College of Medicine,
hopes the study will pave the way for scientists to identify other samples ready for this type
of study. “I’m looking on the bright side, and there are a lot more samples like this waiting
to be discovered,” he says.
32. What is the significance of this new discovery?
A. Giving gene activity a new definition.
B. Recovering lost species of early humans.
C. Discovering the differences in the genome.
D. Promoting further research on extinct species.
33. How does DNAmolecules behave after an organism dies according to scientists?
A. They remain the same in water. B. They break down into pieces.
C. They disappear as little structures. D. They turn into various molecules.
34. Why is the supermarket snack mentioned in Paragraph 5?
A. To show the good preservation of the sample.
B. To tell the importance of low-temperature storage.
C. To explain the connection between freezing and drying.
D. To compare the the characteristics of mammoths and snacks.
35. Which may best express the author’s attitude to the study?
A. Worried. B. Crazy. C. Uncaring. D. Approving.

Steve Jobs died at age 56 on October 5, 2011. Although about 14 years passed, his best
creativity advice is never out of season. 36 .
As Steve Jobs said, “Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people
how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just
saw something.” As defined by Steve Jobs, one of the most creative activities we can do is
to look for connections. Linking things together is a most creative venture. 37 ;but,
equally important, it trains us to look for similarities that are not always apparent or
obvious.
38 . As a result, it becomes more difficult to discover creative possibilities
because our mind is trapped in familiar ways of thinking (often, the result of how we were
educated). 39 : Ask a friend or colleague to give you a completely random set of
eight words—words that come from diverse fields and have no apparent connection. Or, go
through a newspaper or magazine and randomly point to eight separate words. Then, divide
the words into as many different categories as you can (each category must have a
minimum of two items) within a two-minute time frame.
For example, I recently asked my wife to give me eight random words. Here’s what
she shared: valance, trip, book, snow, sheets, rug, tired, painting. 40 :
things in the living room (valance, book, rug, painting)
things with the letter “e” (valance, sheets, tired)
white things (snow, sheets, painting)
things humans do (trip, tired)
things viewed vertically (valance, book, painting)
things viewed horizontally (valance, sheets, rug)
things manufactured in a foreign country (sheets, rug)
things that go in a washing machine (sheets, rug)
A. Here’s one way to break free
B. It creates connections in our brain
C. Here are just a few categories I came up with
D. As thinkers, we frequently get locked into old habits
E. There are category training ways to learn various words
F. In fact, his insights into creativity continue to shine brightly
G. Of course, we can take this idea one step further in other ways

In 2018, I came to China to study at Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics

poverty, inequality, and limited access to education and healthcare were stark (严峻的 )
realities that I witnessed firsthand. These experiences fired my 60 (determine) up to

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。
I was born in one of the poorest neighborhoods of Caracas, Venezuela. My dad was a
truck driver and my mom was working in a factory when they met. Both had moved from
the countryside looking for better opportunities, and in a way they found them. At least
they had electricity in their new house.
Neither Mom nor Dad went to school, but Dad was an avid (热衷的 ) reader and
encouraged us to be like him, and they spared no efforts to make sure we did what they
could not. I studied hard to make them proud. I was always number one in my class,
teachers loved me and I loved learning new things every day.
By the time I was fifteen, we had discussed what I wanted to do when I grew up. Dad
dreamed of me being a lawyer, while I wanted to become a journalist most.
Mum was very excited about my future too. One day she came home with a brochure
from one of the most famous, and expensive colleges, which had a journalism school. I
tried to tell her it was impossible for me to be accepted. Mom said there was only one way
to find out: by taking the admission test. I fell back on my last argument—money. We
could not afford it. At that point she smiled and opened the brochure she had been holding.
Among the descriptions was a very small paragraph indicating that there was a
scholarship program. I decided to let her dream a little longer, and I agreed to submit my
application and took the exam.
The first surprise came when I saw my name on the list. Only one other kid from my
high school was accepted that year.
I won’t say college was easy. I did feel out of place most of the time. I had to borrow
materials and books because we could barely find the money to pay the percent the
scholarship didn’t cover, much less for other things. I had only one pair of jeans and two
tops.
I didn’t go on vacation to Miami or Europe, but I still got good grades and met best
friends I could ever imagine.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150左右;

The day I graduated, I gave my mum the medal. _____________________________

W: Well, sure. We saw the water rising, and we just put the furniture up on blocks and waited a few hours for the rain to stop.
M: Thank goodness the water didn’t reach your house!
W: Yeah, we were lucky.
M: But it looks like you lost some cars. That’s a shame.
W: Yeah, they floated into the back field.
M: That’s a huge loss, isn’t it?
W: Well, yeah, but we do have insurance. We should be able to replace them.
M: And what’s happening here?
W: Oh, that’s my brother. He usually drives down to the river to go fishing.
M: So, I guess this week he’s fishing from your front yard?
W: Mmm-hmm. But the water is supposed to fall tomorrow.

W: Good afternoon. Can I help you find something?
M: Yes. I’m looking for a gift for my nephew.
W: Wonderful. We have many toys for children. How old is your nephew?
M: Three years old. I usually buy him books for his birthday, but this year, I want to get him something else.
W: OK. How about a bicycle? You can teach him to ride it.
M: Well, um, that might be a bit expensive for me.
W: How about a toy musical instrument?
M: Those are cool, but he already has some.
W: Well, does he like to play games?
M: He’s too young to play video games.
W: I don’t mean video games. I mean games that you could play with him.
M: That’s a great idea. If I buy him a game, then I can come over and play with him!
W: We have over a hundred games to choose from. They are at the back of the store. Follow me.

W: Waiter! Waiter!
M: Yes, may I help you?
W: These pancakes are terrible.
M: I’m sorry to hear you don’t like your pancakes, ma’am. May I ask exactly what’s wrong with them? They look just like our usual breakfast pancakes.
W: Really? They taste so sweet to me.
M: I see. Sweeter than usual?
W: Usual? Are pancakes usually sweet? Where I come from, they should be salty, with onions and peppers in them. These just taste like soft sweet bread.
M: Salty pancakes, huh? May I ask where you’re from?
W: I’m from Beijing.
M: Wow. I’d love to try the pancakes there. In the United States, pancakes are usually sweet. And we put butter and honey on them, too.
W: Butter? Is that what’s in this little plate you brought me?
M: Yes, ma’am. I’m sorry you don’t like your order. Perhaps you’d like me to bring you something that’s not so sweet. Bacon and eggs, maybe? Or a nice, warm bowl of porridge?
W: No, thanks. I don’t have time for that. When in Rome, do as the Romans do, I guess. Pass me that fork…

Hey, Sheila. Remember you asked me about how I keep my flowers so fresh and pretty? I know yours usually die and dry up very quickly after you buy them. I have a few really easy tips for plant care that will make your flowers last for many days. The first thing you need to do is save the little pack of flower food. It comes with the flowers you buy at the store. I always buy extra packs because they’re not expensive at all. Then when you get home, you must put the flowers in water right away — right after you cut off the bottoms. Cut the flowers one to two inches from the bottom. Then fill a vase with water and mix in a packet of flower food. Make sure the water fills three-quarters of the vase so the flowers have enough to “drink”. The last tip is to remember to fill with water every few days. When the water is low, it means the flowers are “thirsty”. If you follow these simple rules, your flowers will stay beautiful and fresh for weeks!

Just under the radar fly many smaller Parisian museums that make space for the fantastic, the gritty and the unexpected.
Museum of the History of Medicine
The collections exhibited here are mainly medical instruments, especially those from the 16th to the 19th century. Among the most prized artifacts are the surgical (外科的) knife used for Louis XIV’s operation in 1686, and the wooden anatomical (解剖的) model ordered by General Napoleon Bonaparte in Italy in 1796.
Open time: 2:00 pm—5:30 pm, Monday to Saturday (Closed on Thursday)
Duration: 1—2 hours
Charge: €3.50 (Discount price: £2.50)
Museum of Perfume
Though it’s not often considered as essential as sight or sound, scent has a profound effect on memory, mood and experience. The Museum of Perfume is dedicated to exploring the approach and history behind perfume making.
Open time: 9:00 am—5:30 pm
Duration: <1 hour

Birds of a feather tend to flock together, but birds in personalized period costumes can only be found in one place.
Australia has an annual duck fashion show. While it sounds like something that happens when your close friends correct your secret thoughts about fashion, it is, in fact, a real thing. It has been a part of Sydney’s “Royal Easter Show” for over 30 years. This annual event, attracting an average of 900,000 visitors, is a celebration of agriculture, entertainment, and culture in Sydney. The duck fashion show, in particular, has become one of the highlights, offering a unique and adorable sight that demarcates it from other shows within the event.
There’s one special event that you can only find at this show. It’s called the Pied Piper Duck Show, and it’s basically ducks dressed in costumes waddling down a “cat walk”.
The mastermind behind this delightful event is farmer Brian Harrington, an Australian farmer who organized the event from its beginning until his death in 2015. With his passion for both ducks and fashion, he has been dressing his ducks according to the latest fashion trends for each show for about 25 years. Although Brian is gone, the show must go on, and more and more people regularly attend the fashion show each year.
During the show, ducks model three outfits: daytime, evening, and wedding. Their outfits have to look as if they’ve stepped out of an 1800s time capsule. Top hats, bustles, corset dresses, and tiny lady hats are all common sights on the duck runway. Visitors can’t get enough of the adorable animals, and at the end, they get to vote on their favorites. Australians are known for strange ideas, but this is a new level of cuteness we can never have expected!
24. Which can replace the underlined word “demarcates” in Paragraph 2?
A. Prevents. B. Distinguishes. C. Protects. D. Requires.
25. Which of the following best describes Brian Harrington?
A. Creative and admirable. B. Traditional and reliable.
C. Cautious and confident. D. Wealthy and generous.
26. What do we know about the three outfits?
A. They result from the visitors’ voting.
B. They represent future fashion concepts.
C. They actually feature 19th-century styles.
D. They are recycled from historical materials.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. The life story of an Australian farmer.
B. A duck farming competition in Sydney.
C. A special duck fashion show in Australia.
D. The history of Sydney’s Royal Easter Show.
C
AI has captured the spirit of the times in recent years, especially since the release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in 2022. As AI is catching on, it promises to change learning for the better.
Already, there are AI-powered tutoring (辅导) tools that can support learners. One 2024 study, led by the University of Oxford, found that school students in Ghana who used an Al-powered math tutor through WhatsApp for half an hour, twice a week, over eight months had “higher” math growth scores than those in a control group.
“Until now, expert, personalized tutoring has been too expensive for people,” points out Joseph South, chief-innovation officer at the International Society for Technology in Education. “AI-powered tutors can offer this experience for online learners at an affordable price.”
However, there are still possible problems to address. AI can present fiction as fact, which could mean students might “learn” incorrect information. Similarly, AI can develop biases (偏见) based on the data used to train it, and possibly pass them on to learners. In addition, experts warn that any educational institution needs to have strict rules on what student personal information can be fed into AI tools, to reduce privacy risks.
But, to some, the biggest risk is to the learning process. “As students increasingly depend on AI tools, they may use them as quick solutions, which will influence their ability to pick up basic learning skills,” says Emily DeJeu, assistant teaching professor of business management communication at Carnegie Mellon University. “Is that good for them in the long term?” she asks. “This is still an open question.”
To protect students, she suggests “we need government rules to provide guidance to schools”. And she adds: “The greatest risk of all with AI is doing nothing. The world has changed and is changing. We should change how we teach and what we teach to welcome AI.”
28. What can we conclude from the 2024 study in Ghana?
A. Students prefer AI tutors to human ones.
B. AI tutors are intended for poor math learners.
C. Students are eager for free personalized tutoring.
D. AI tutoring helps improve math grades to some degree.
29. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. AI’s development trends. B. AI’s data management.
C. AI’s potential disadvantages. D. AI’s information security.
30. What is the biggest risk regarding AI according to Emily DeJeu?
A. The behavior of taking no action.
B. The increase in the learning process.
C. The attitude of ignoring future plans.
D. The over-dependence on learning skills.
31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Influence of AI’s Rapid Update
B. The Concern about Modern AI Technology
C. AI in Education: Opportunities and Challenges
D. AI Tools: Replacing Traditional Teaching Forms
D
For the first time, scientists have mapped the 3D structure of DNA from a 52,000-year-old mammoth (猛玛象). This advance, published in Cell, let researchers piece together the creature’s genome (基因组) accurately and find signs of past gene activity in its cells.
Ancient DNA usually appears in short, broken pieces. It is from these pieces that researchers have identified new species of early humans, and rewritten the history of how horses were tamed.
“This new work opens up major new possibilities of exploring the biology of extinct species,” says Adrian Lister, a paleontologist at the Natural History Museum in London. “This is an astonishing study.”
For more than a century, many geneticists have doubted these types of structures could be preserved in fossils. In living creatures, DNA molecules (分子) twist or wind as proteins turn various genes on or off. After organisms die, however, these molecules start to break apart, forming pieces that spread out like dye in water. The DNA in the mammoth sample broke up but didn’t spread: the pieces ran into a rare molecular traffic jam, so they got stuck in place, keeping complete chromosome structures as tiny as 50 nanometers across.
The team says the sample probably held up so well because it underwent freeze-drying. Soon after the mammoth died, permafrost (永冻层) blanketed its body. The low temperature slowed the motion of its molecules, and the dry atmosphere in tundra regions meant there was no water available for the DNA pieces to move through, leaving the sample more shelf-stable than the average supermarket snack.
The researchers aren’t sure how likely it is that other fossils could have remained just like the 52,000-year-old sample. But Aiden, a geneticist at the Baylor College of Medicine, hopes the study will pave the way for scientists to identify other samples ready for this type of study. “I’m looking on the bright side, and there are a lot more samples like this waiting to be discovered,” he says.
32. What is the significance of this new discovery?
A. Giving gene activity a new definition.
B. Recovering lost species of early humans.
C. Discovering the differences in the genome.
D. Promoting further research on extinct species.
33. How does DNA molecules behave after an organism dies according to scientists?
A. They remain the same in water. B. They break down into pieces.
C. They disappear as little structures. D. They turn into various molecules.
34. Why is the supermarket snack mentioned in Paragraph 5?
A. To show the good preservation of the sample.
B. To tell the importance of low-temperature storage.
C. To explain the connection between freezing and drying.
D. To compare the the characteristics of mammoths and snacks.
35. Which may best express the author’s attitude to the study?
A. Worried. B. Crazy. C. Uncaring. D. Approving.

Steve Jobs died at age 56 on October 5, 2011. Although about 14 years passed, his best creativity advice is never out of season. 36 .
As Steve Jobs said, “Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something.” As defined by Steve Jobs, one of the most creative activities we can do is to look for connections. Linking things together is a most creative venture. 37 ;but, equally important, it trains us to look for similarities that are not always apparent or obvious.
38 . As a result, it becomes more difficult to discover creative possibilities because our mind is trapped in familiar ways of thinking (often, the result of how we were educated). 39 : Ask a friend or colleague to give you a completely random set of eight words—words that come from diverse fields and have no apparent connection. Or, go through a newspaper or magazine and randomly point to eight separate words. Then, divide the words into as many different categories as you can (each category must have a minimum of two items) within a two-minute time frame.
For example, I recently asked my wife to give me eight random words. Here’s what she shared: valance, trip, book, snow, sheets, rug, tired, painting. 40 :
things in the living room (valance, book, rug, painting)
things with the letter “e” (valance, sheets, tired)
white things (snow, sheets, painting)
things humans do (trip, tired)
things viewed vertically (valance, book, painting)
things viewed horizontally (valance, sheets, rug)
things manufactured in a foreign country (sheets, rug)
things that go in a washing machine (sheets, rug)
A. Here’s one way to break free
B. It creates connections in our brain
C. Here are just a few categories I came up with
D. As thinkers, we frequently get locked into old habits

I have been passionate about public welfare since childhood, but I never imagined that a Chinese figure 56 (name) Lei Feng would become an essential part of my life.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
I was born in one of the poorest neighborhoods of Caracas, Venezuela. My dad was a truck driver and my mom was working in a factory when they met. Both had moved from the countryside looking for better opportunities, and in a way they found them. At least they had electricity in their new house.
Neither Mom nor Dad went to school, but Dad was an avid (热衷的) reader and encouraged us to be like him, and they spared no efforts to make sure we did what they could not. I studied hard to make them proud. I was always number one in my class, teachers loved me and I loved learning new things every day.
By the time I was fifteen, we had discussed what I wanted to do when I grew up. Dad dreamed of me being a lawyer, while I wanted to become a journalist most.
Mum was very excited about my future too. One day she came home with a brochure from one of the most famous, and expensive colleges, which had a journalism school. I tried to tell her it was impossible for me to be accepted. Mom said there was only one way to find out: by taking the admission test. I fell back on my last argument—money. We could not afford it. At that point she smiled and opened the brochure she had been holding.
Among the descriptions was a very small paragraph indicating that there was a scholarship program. I decided to let her dream a little longer, and I agreed to submit my application and took the exam.
The first surprise came when I saw my name on the list. Only one other kid from my high school was accepted that year.
I won’t say college was easy. I did feel out of place most of the time. I had to borrow materials and books because we could barely find the money to pay the percent the scholarship didn’t cover, much less for other things. I had only one pair of jeans and two tops.
I didn’t go on vacation to Miami or Europe, but I still got good grades and met best friends I could ever imagine.

The day I graduated, I gave my mum the medal. _____________________________
