Andrea Speranza wanted to be a firefighter long before she had the right word for her wish.After one childhood adventure at a construction site ended with an iron nail embedded (嵌入) in her leg and an emergency call to the fire department,she found herself in awe.“As they gave me the medical treatment,I thought they could help everybody and do anything,” says the now 52-year-old.
In 2000,Andrea Speranza achieved her dream of becoming a firefighter joining the Halifax Regional Fire Service.Her job was exactly as satisfying as she imagined it would be,except for one thing:she still hadn't seen another woman in her role—not in a magazine,not on television,not in real life.Speranza decided that she wanted to help young women see that they,too,could have a career like hers.
The result was Camp Courage,a program for girls aged 15 to 19 who want to learn more about firefighting.In 2006,Speranza and about 20 volunteers welcomed their first 17 participants,recruiting (招募) attendees through advertising in schools.Over the course of eight days,the girls discovered the ins and outs of being first responders:learning how to put out fires,deliver first aid and even use the jaws of life (救生颚) on a car.
Camp Courage now runs one session every year in Halifax and is free to attend.To offset costs,Speranza and her fellow campers fundraise by holding everything from car washes to comedy nights.Hopeful campers must also submit an essay describing how they plan to help their community,or a specific individual in need.And they have to deliver on the plan—from building a bench for a senior at a bus stop to launching a local chapter of the Kids Help Phone.
Hundreds of girls have passed through Camp Courage,and 36 percent are doing exactly what 52-year-old Speranza hoped they would:working as first responders across the country.This past summer,the camp held its first session for young women in Halifax,as well as its first national camp in Calgary with plans to roll out more in 2023.

(2025·湖北武汉高一期中调研)
Just being intelligent doesn't mean someone will be successful.And just because someone is less intelligent doesn't mean that person will fail.That's one take-home message from the work of people like Angela Duckworth,who works at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
Like many other scientists,Duckworth wondered what makes one person more successful than another.When digging deeper,Duckworth found that the people who performed best shared a quality independent of intelligence.They had what she now calls grit(毅力).Duckworth developed a set of questions to test it.She calls it her“grit scale(等级)”.
In one study of people aged 25 and older,she found that as people age,they become more likely to stick with a project.She also found that grit increases with education.People who finished college scored higher on the grit scale than people who quit before graduation.People who went to graduate school after college scored even higher.
She then did another study on college students.Duckworth wanted to see how intelligence and grit influenced performance in school.So she compared scores on college-entrance exams,which measure IQ,to school grades and scores on the grit scale.Students with higher grades tended to have more grit.That's not surprising.Getting good grades takes both smarts and hard work.
But some people counter that this grit means success.Among those people is Marcus Crede,an associate professor at Iowa State University in Ames.He recently pooled the results of 88 studies on grit.Together,those studies tested nearly 67,000 people.And grit did not predict success,Crede found.
However,he thinks grit is very similar to someone's ability to set goals,work towards them and think things through before acting.
“Study habits and skills,test anxiety and class attendance are far more strongly connected to school grades than grit,” Crede says.“We can teach students how to study well.We can help them with their test anxiety,” he adds.“I'm not sure we can do that with grit.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍达克沃思和马库斯·克雷德各自的研究,对影响毅力的因素、智力和毅力对成功的作用等方面进行了阐述。
5.What can we know from the first two paragraphs?
A.Intelligence determines success.
B.Not all smart people will succeed.
C.Duckworth redesigned a grit scale.
D.Grit decides how intelligent one might be.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的 “Just being intelligent doesn't mean someone will be successful.And just because someone is less intelligent doesn't mean that person will fail.”和第二段中的 “When digging deeper,Duckworth found that the people who performed best shared a quality independent of intelligence...calls grit(毅力).”可知,聪明并不完全意味着一个人会成功,不那么聪明也并不意味着一个人一定会失败,除智力外,还有其他特质如毅力有助于成功。由此可知,不是所有的聪明人都能成功。故选 B项。
6.What might influence a person's grit according to Angela Duckworth's findings?
A.Lifestyle. B.Family.
C.Personality. D.Education.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的 “She also found that grit increases with education...People who went to graduate school after college scored even higher.”可知,达克沃思认为受教育程度可以影响一个人的毅力。故选 D 项。
7.What does the underlined word“counter” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.Comment. B.Disagree.
C.Recognise. D.Warn.
答案:B
解析:词义猜测题。根据上文的 “When digging deeper,Duckworth found that the people who performed best shared a quality...calls grit(毅力).”和第四段的实验介绍可知,达克沃思认为毅力是成功所需要的一种品质。结合画线词所在句中的 But 可知,该句陈述的观点与上文相反,即一些人反对毅力意味着成功这个观点。由此可知,画线词意为“反对”。故选 B项。
8.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Grit can hardly be taught.
B.Grit can be improved easily.
C.Grit is strongly related to test anxiety.
D.Grit has nothing to do with school grades.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,克雷德认为学习方法或是考试焦虑都能通过教授一些方法来获得或消除,但是教会学生如何获得毅力有一定难度。故选 A 项。
