A. a wanted ad B. a travel guide C. a science report B From an early age, we were taught that if we wanted to be successful, we had to study hard and get good results at school. In fact, good students may just end up doing jobs they don’t like, and some even lead an unhappy life. Why is it like that? In some parents’ eyes, school grades matter most for their kids. In reality, there are many things to consider besides the school subjects, for example, how to be a happy person, what to do to keep healthy, and how to get along well with others. That is to say, school is not just enough if you want to have a great life. Doing well in school is different from doing well in life. Studies show that people who failed at school may not end up failing in life. You may have already known that some famous people, like Thomas Edison and Steve Jobs, didn’t do very well at school or even failed to finish school. In fact, there are a lot more than just the big shots who are successful in life without finishing school. They seize (抓住) every chance to learn and finally make it to the top. Life is really a long lesson, so long that you can’t define (界定) a person’s success by just one section (部分) of it. If you have already finished school, keep learning because what you have learned at school will never be enough to live a satisfying life. If you are still studying, whether you are good or bad at school, don’t take your school results too seriously as long as you have put your heart into it. Keep learning to make the most of your talents (天赋). That’s how you can live a happy and successful life. 24. What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing Paragraph (段落) One? A. To introduce a topic. B. To give examples. C. To provide a solution. 25. In some parents’ eyes what’s the most important for their kids based on Paragraph Two? A. Being happy. B. Staying healthy. C. Getting good grades. 26. What does the underlined expression “big shots” in the third paragraph mean? A. 好学生 B. 神枪手 C. 大人物 27. According to the passage which sentence may agree with the writer’s idea? A. It takes money to be successful. B. School grades aren’t everything. C. Successful people never finish school.
