When other teens were studying or going out, she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street. But she overcame these terrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholarship and gain entry to Harvard University. And her amazing story has inspired a movie, “Homeless to Harvard：The Liz Murray Story , shown in late April.Liz Murray , a 22- year- old American girl, has been writing a real-life story of willpower and determination. Liz grew up in the shadow of two drug-addicted parents. There was never enough food or warm clothes in the house. Liz was the only member of the family who had a job. Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just 15 years old. The effect of that loss became a turning point in her life. Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died, she decided to do something about it.Liz went back to school. She threw herself into her studies, never telling her teachers that she was homeless. At night, she lived on the streets. “What drove me to live on had something to do with understanding, My understanding was that there was a whole other way of being. I had only experienced a small part of society, she wrote in her book Breaking Night. She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on. She used the benefits that come easily to others, such as a safe living environment, to encourage herself that "next to nothing could hold me down". She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University. But Liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father, who has also developed AIDS. "I love my parents so much. They are drug addicts. But I never forget that they love me all the time."Liz wants moviegoers to come away with the idea that changing your life is "as simple as making a decision".51. The word “setback in the first paragraph most probably means_?A. danger     B. difficulty       C. unhappiness    D. disaster52. Whats the best title of the passage? A. Lizs Harvard Dream  B. Bitter Childhood of Liz C. Lizs Love for Her Parents          D. Lizs Struggle for Her Life53. What actually made Liz throw herself into her studies ?A. Her parents addiction to drugsB. Her mother s diseaseC. Lack of food and clothes         D. Her mother s death54. According to the passage, which is NOT true about Liz? A. strong- willed      B. envious C. determined    D. respectful B Count Me OutCall me old-fashioned. Call me old. Call me what you want, but I refuse to become part of this new Internet world.I do not possess a computer at home or at the office. Actually, I stopped going to an office 35 years ago, when all communications were done with a pen, a typewriter, or, if the matter was of world-shaking importance, over the telephone. Likewise, if you like something advertised in a newspaper or magazine, you visited the shop selling it at the given address, or you phoned the number shown. Then you spoke to the fellow and asked for further details.Tell me what you think of the following ad that appeared the other day in the newspaper. It was for a cure for cancer and this is what it said: “Awareness is the key. Visit spfulford. com at the awareness site. There was no address or telephone number for the site. So what do unfortunate people without a computer do if they are seeking a cure for their illness?There are, I am told, certain advantages in having access to the Internet. You can, for example, send love messages across the world or even get married to someone that you meet online. This bit doesnt interest me; I have been happily married for 60 years. There are, of course, other activities for Internet users besides finding love. They can pay bills, order groceries, or discuss with their doctors.And this is by no means all. More amazing things are yet to come in the near future. I read a newspaper report recently that quoted Stephen Hawking, an important British scientist. “The complexity of a computer as it exists today is probably less than the brain of an earthworm, he said. “But, as technology advances, computers will become more complex, and a time may come when the Internet may develop consciousness. In other words, the Internet will be able to think, have feelings, and may well be able to act on its own.If Professor Hawking is right, I may change my attitude to computers. As I grow older each day, I would like one of those that not only thinks for me but also accepts responsibilities for all my mistakes.55Whats the meaning of the title “Count Me Out?AGet me out of the Internet world.BComputers are trying to take control of life.CModern technology pushes old people away.DDo not expect me to be a supporter of the Internet.56According to Paragraph 2, the author thinks computers are .AunnecessaryBconvenientCexpensiveDadvanced57What might the author like about the future computer?ATaking blames.BCuring illnesses.CDelivering messages.DResponding to emotions.CIt is true that shyness can be a disadvantage socially for those who suffer from it seriously. I mean real shyness, not somebody who is simply quiet. Quiet people could be shy, but on the other hand, they may just be observing because they are unsure of you or others in your company. They may be capable of being extrovert (性格外向的) and sociable, but on some particular occasions, they are quiet.I have learnt from my experience that those who observe and listen more and talk less can gain a position of strength. This means that even a very shy person, the type who is reluctant to talk in company (在交际场合) , especially new company, can become a strong person in just about anything they choose. Remember, knowledge is power, and a shy introvert (性格内向的人) is in a better position to gain knowledge than an extrovert. Introverted people can give great attention to learning, and as good listeners they can take in an enormous amount from others. Over time, people can come to respect them far more than the extrovert who speaks a lot. Usually about themselves.What does it take , then for a very shy person to be that successful person they have always wanted to be ? They may only need one more thing to push themselves on their wa
