A
Dear God
Now that I am no longer young I have friends whose mothers have passed away I have heard these sons and daughters say they never fully appreciated their mothers until it was too late to tell them
I am blessed with the dear mother who is still alive I appreciate her more each day My mother does not change but I do As I grow older and wiser I realize what an extraordinary person she is How sad that I am unable to speak these words in her presence but they flow easily from my pen
How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for life itself For the love patience and just plain hard work that go into raising a child For running after a toddler for understanding a moody teenager for tolerating a college student who knows everything For waiting for the day when a daughter realizes how wise her mother really is
How does a grown woman thank a mother for continuing to be a mother For being ready with advice (when asked) or remaining silent when it is most appreciated For not saying I told you so when she could have said these words dozens of times For being essentially herself loving thoughtful patient and forgiving
I don't know how dear God except to bless her as richly as she deserves and to help me live up to the example she has set I pray that I will look as good in the eyes of my children as my mother looks in mine
A daughter

For a clearer picture of what the student knows most teachers use another kind of examination in addition to objective tests They use essay tests which require students to write long answers to broad general questions such as the following Mention several ways in which Benjamin Franklin has influenced thinking of people in his own country and in other parts of the world
One advantage of the essay test is that it reduces the element of luck The student cannot get a high score just by making a lucky guess Another advantage is that it shows the examiner more about the student’s ability to put facts together into a meaningful whole It should show how deeply he has thought about the subject
Sometimes though essay tests have disadvantages too Some students are able to write rather good answers without really knowing much about the subject while other students who actually know the material have trouble expressing their ideas in the essay form Besides in an essay test the student’s score may depend upon the examiner’s feelings at the time of reading the answer If he is feeling tired or bored the student may receive a lower score than he should Another examiner reading the same answer might give it a much higher mark Because of this the objective test gives each student a fairer chance and of course it is easier and quicker to score
Whether an objective test or an essay test is used problems arise When some objective questions are used along with some essay questions however a fairly clear picture of the student’s knowledge can usually be obtained
( ) 4 What may have been discussed in the previous paragraphs
A The essay test B How teachers test their students
C How students write their essays D The objective test
( ) 5 The essay test is preferred because ________
A it shows more about the student’s understanding of the subject
B it tests the student’s knowledge of the material as well as his expression of ideas
C it gives each student a fairer chance
D its scoring may be influenced by the examiner’s feelings
( ) 6 The underlined word this ( Para 3 ) refers to the fact that ________
A students may receive a lower score in an essay test
B another examiner usually gives the answer a higher mark
C different examiners may give the same essay different scores
D the objective test gives each student a fairer chance
( ) 7 According to the passage which of the following statements about the objective test is NOT true
A It is more objective than the essay test in terms of scoring
B It allows the student to guess the correct answer without really knowing the material
C It shows the student’s ability to think about difficult problems
D It is easy and quick to score

There's no Indian blood in his veins He's been a killer only in a song As for the bullet hole it's an old scar left by a doctor who opened a cyst
People who know Johnny Cash well say he's a gentle guy a generous guy but not a tough guy How did the stories get started Some of them like the story about the Indian grandmother he made up long ago to add excitement to his career Others like the bullet hole simply got started Now there's little the singer can do to change people's minds They just want to believe it he says

If your recurring (常性) dreams are worrying you you can rest assured and needn’t worry Psychologists say in the vast majority of these cases this is just the mind’s way of dealing with stress and conflicts (突) problems and concerns It’s a good thing
They can be surprisingly vivid and real or fragmented (零散) and weird They can be comforting or frightening Our dreams can tell us a lot about what we are really thinking particularly when we are at life’s passages or turning points Dreams give us an xray of our unconsciousness (潜意识)
Lisa Oppenheim had the same dream whenever she was about to move to a new home or a new city It’s always just a feeling of needing to stay safe Experts say disturbing dreams often occur around major life events For Lisa it was moving For others it can be marriage or divorce the death of a loved one or pressure at work
Doctor Siegel has studied the meaning of dream for nearly 30 years He believes stressful or upsetting dreams can be a sign of what’s buried deep inside our minds
He said Dreams are important to survival They are very important to the balance of our psyche (心灵) They help us work out problems that we’re having every single day They go to the cutting edge of what’s stressful what’s bothering us and what we’re working out in our lives Dreams can guide us and in order to find that guidance to find that deep source of wisdom that’s in our dreams every night we need to pay attention to our dreams
But many dreams are scary and horrible How can we understand these nightmares Doctor Siegel says they are reflecting especially intense emotion or unresolved conflict The stronger the emotion in the dream whether it’s pleasure or fear the likelier the dream is to be important
Knowing what your recurring dreams or nightmares mean can be liberating Some nightmares can be a sign of serious psychological problems such as postdramatic stress disorder If they are extremely disturbing or violent or the cause of severe anxiety you should see a professional therapist
( ) 12 People will have recurring dreams when they _______
A live with great pressure or have great events B do the same things all their lives

If I could give everyone one piece of advice about the college application process it would be this 16
Be different from the beginning Don’t wait until the summer after junior year or worse the fall of senior year to begin this process 17 You might be seeing the stress in seniors who are frantically (疯狂) visiting colleges writing essays and completing applications
18 Do some research and think beyond the usual suspects (备选) before you find the most suitable choice Colleges compare students from the same high school with the same measuring stick since they read all the applications together If your coursework and test scores don't look good enough it will be more challenging to be accepted However your leadership or special talents may be more impressive if you are one of only a few students applying to a certain college
Be different in the activities you choose and follow your interests not your friends 19 It could be tutoring the environment dancing writing or starting a business but take part for the right reasons Your activities should be meaningful and tell a story about who you are
Be different in what you write about in your essay to stand out It is the one tool that gives you total control so use it wisely Write what you want them to know about you not what you think they want to read Brainstorming your essay topic is a selfreflection process 20 Find something unique
A Try to develop your talents
B Be different in preparing your college list
C Stay away from topics that everyone writes about
D Dare to be different
E Imagine what people are usually interested in
F Starting early will relieve much stress
G Find something that matters to you or something you care about
