2.1 Thank you. I’m honored to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. Truth be told, I never graduated from college. And this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. No big deal. Just three stories.2 My second story is about love and loss.3 I was lucky—I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents’ garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees. We just released our finest creation—the Macintosh—a year earlier, and I just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. And so at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.

3.1. Don’t give upIf we would ever accomplish anything in life, let us not forget that we must (1)___. If we would learn (2)___ lessons in school, we must be (3)___ and not give up whenever we come to anything difficult. We shall find many of our lessons very hard, (4)___ let us consider that the harder they are, the better they will do to us if we will persevere and learn them(5)___.But there are some (6) ___us who are ready to give up when they come to a hard example in mathematics, and say, “I can’t do this.” They never will if they (7)___ so. “I can’t” never does anything worthwhile, but “I’ll try” accomplishes (8)___.Let us remember that we shall meet with difficulties all through life. They are in the (9) ___ of everyone. If we will only try and keep trying, we shall be sure to (10)___ and overcome every difficulty we meet.

4.There is a special life stage that our generation goes through. It is the ()period, during which we move from adolescence to adulthood. We learn who we are and what we stand for and what inspires us. Also, in this period we are () with a lot of pressure from our parents who want us to make something out of ourselves.My parents have already expressed feelings of () over my future with academics and life. When I expressed to them recently that I would not mind graduating in five years instead of four in order to study abroad to () myself with the world, they seemed so shocked. That idea sounded foreign and to them was () to lack of ambition.Apart from that, my mother has ()to me that she is worried that I am not searching for a boyfriend. I () this stupid idea of marrying out of college since it does not suit me one bit. Women today can get what they want out of life without a man, even children, as it becomes more () for women to adopt children.I personally want to stay in school as long as I can to ()my academic work, possibly complete a law degree and start a career, and then after, and only after, begin to think about () to marriage. If my math is correct, that means I will be more or less "ready" for marriage at the age of 29 or 30, the age when my mother had me.

5.[单选题]The thinking habit that changed my lifeI remember one evening three years ago, when my life was very different. I was overweight. I was deeply in debt. I was a smoker.

13.My College Life When my college life begins, I feel it is quite different from senior high school life.Above all, there are various activities on the campus. They arouse our enthusiasm and we all like to take part in them, from which we benefit much. Besides, we have to learn how to look after ourselves. When I was in senior high school, I lived with my parents and they took perfect care of me. But now, I’m in a new place. If I still depend on others, I would never adapt myself to the new surroundings. So college life makes me mature. In senior high school, teachers would drive me to study if I did not work hard. But now it seems to be another story—study becomes my own business (actually it should always be).More often than not, I am in the classroom studying on my own. Therefore, I can say it is the college life that lets me know how to study. Our school library is a good place for students to study in the reading room quiet and comfortable. The books there really help me a lot. Not only does reading widen my knowledge, but it also enriches my life. In addition, I can apply for a part—time job if I am not busy. It helps me accumulate the practical experience, which is important to a college student. Once I was asked to describe my college life with some simple words, I thought it over and said, “colorful, wonderful rewarding …”Tell whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F) according to the text. In order to adapt to the new environment, a college student must depend on himself.选项： A:正确; B:错误

14.Spend or Save? Do you feel as confused as I do with this question, "Should I spend or should I save?" I think that the messages we get from our environment seem to defy common sense and contradict each other. Here's a familiar example: If we don't pay our credit card bill on time, we get demanding, nasty emails from the credit card company saying something like: "Your failure to pay is unacceptable. Pay immediately or you'll be in trouble!" Then, as soon as we pay, we get a follow-up email in a charming tone telling us how valuable a customer we are and encouraging us to resume spending. Which depiction is correct: a failing consumer in trouble or a valued customer? The gap between these two messages is enormous.The paradox is that every day we get two sets of messages at odds with each other. One is the "permissive" perspective, "Buy, spend, get it now. You need this!" The other we could call an "upright" message, which urges us, "Work hard and save. Suspend your desires. Avoid luxuries. Control your appetite for more than you truly need." This message comes to us from many sources: from school, from parents, even from political figures referring to "traditional values". Hard work, family loyalty, and the capacity to postpone desires are core American values that have made our country great.It's been calculated that by the age of 18, the average American will have seen 600,000 ads; by the age of 40, the total is almost one million. Each advertisement is doing its utmost to influence our diverse buying decisions, from the breakfast cereal we eat to which cruise line we will use for our vacation. There is no shortage of ideas and things to buy! Now, of course, we don't remember exactly what the products were, but the essential message is cemented into our consciousness, "It's good to satisfy your desires. You should have what you want. You deserve the best. So, you should buy it – now!" A famous advertisement said it perfectly, "I love me. I'm a good friend to myself. I do what makes me feel good. I derive pleasure from nice things and feel nourished by them. I used to put things off. Not anymore. Today I'll buy new ski equipment, look at new compact cars, and buy that camera I've always wanted. I live my dreams today, not tomorrow."What happens as we take in these contradictory but explicit messages? What are the psychological and social consequences of this campaign to control our spending habits? On one hand, we want more things because we want to satisfy our material appetite. Most of us derive pleasure from treating ourselves. On the other hand, a little voice inside us echoes those upright messages: "Watch out, take stock of your life, don't let your attention get scattered. Postpone your desires. Don't fall into debt. Wait! Retain control over your own life. It will make you stronger."

16.A man was telling one of his friends why he was content with his married life. "My wife makes all the small decisions," he explained, "and I make all the big ones, so we never try to have too much influence in each other's business and never get annoyed with each other. We have no complaints and no arguments." "That sounds reasonable," answered his friend sympathetically. "And what sort of decisions does your wife make?" "Well," answered the man, "she decides what jobs I apply for, what sort of house we live in, what furniture we have, where we go for our holidays, and things like that." His friend was surprised. "Oh?" he said. "And what do you consider important decisions then?" "Well," answered the man, "I decide who should be President, whether we should increase our help to poor countries, what we should do about the atom bomb, and things like that." 1）、The man was content with his married life because he and his wife loved each other deeply. 选项： A:T B:F
