When I was a kid，we farmed 200 acres with mules (骡子), and the most naughty one was Robe. It’d frequently jump out and run off. But when asked why he liked it, Dad would say, “When it comes to farm work, Tobe comes up to standards (标准).”
Dad died when I was 11, and we had to sell the farm. Those were hard years, but Mom managed to give me my first music lesson. Before long our neighbors liked my songs so much that I decided to make a career of singing.
At 17 I left home for the radio station in Jackson and discovered how inexperienced I was. I made up my mind that I would practice until I came up to standards. I took u job as a driver. Given 25 cents a run, I could spend the rest of the time practicing. Finally, when I was good enough, I began playing for audiences nationwide.
By now, though, we had two kids and I knew what a family was without a dad, so I quit the performance and entered the most depressing years of my life with all the clothing, homework, and duties wound the house. That was when I thought about Tobe. It was self-willed, but in the field, where it mattered, Tobe came up to standards. So I started doing some listening and made a discovery. My kids’ lifestyle may be different. But where standards are concerned--for things like honesty and courage-they often do better than some of us.
Not long ago Dick told me he was going lo apply for a job at a TV station. “I know the general manager. I’ll put in a good word,” I said. “I’d rather go alone,” he replied. “If I’m not good enough yet to do the job, I shouldn’t get it.”
Then I realized he wanted to be up to standards. I felt proud the minute he came home shouting, “Dad, I got the job!”

People have long called college the “great equalizer,” meaning it gives students from all backgrounds the same opportunities or similar chances for success. A study announced in February 2017 supports this idea.
The findings may not come as a surprise to some. For example, it showed a degree from an “Ivy League” or another highly selective school helps students from low income families a great deal. Ivy League is a term for eight private universities in the northeastern United States. Many people consider them to be among the best for higher education in the world.
The study found that about 60 percent of the lowest income students at lvy League schools earned as much as students from the highest income families later in life. But the high cost and strong competition to attend one of these schools can be a barrier (障碍) for many students.
What may be more interesting is what less widely known colleges can do. The study identified 10 less selective universities that also helped large numbers of students escape poverty. This proves that any given college can be a tool for success.
However, there are other things to consider. The study notes that Ivy League and other top schools are less likely to admit students from low-income families. On average, a young person from the highest income background is 77 percent more likely to attend one of the highest income background is 77 percent more likely to attend one of these schools than someone from the lowest income background.
Also, while a college education may help almost everyone, higher income students still have an advantage. The students born into the highest income families still earned at least two percent more after college than anyone else. This is because people from wealthier families have more connections that can help their children.
8. What finding attracts the author’s more attention
A. Non-famous schools also benefit students.
B. t is quite competitive to enter famous schools.
C. College education has great effects on students.
D. Ordinary schools do better than well-known ones.
9. What is unfairness of the lvy League and other top schools
A. They bring too much stress on students.
B. They charge too much for education.
C. They look down upon poor students.
D. They offer more chances to the rich.
10. What factor mentioned in the text can affect a student’s income
A. College major courses. B. Different universities.
C. Family background. D. Records of study.
11. What is the best title of this text
A. You Don’t have to Choose the Most Famous Schools
B. Does a College Education Help All People Equally
C. Is College Education a Must For Poor Students
D. Well-Known Universities Help You Succeed
D
As its name suggests, the common swift is a common bird that lives all across Europe and much of Asia, but their flight time is anything but common. It currently holds the record for the most time spent in the air per year, with data showing that some species can spend up to 10 months out of 12 without landing even once. They drink and eat in the air, feeding on any insects that they can catch in flight. They can mate in the air as well, and they can also sleep in the air by gliding on warm air currents known as “thermals”.
A team of researchers at Lund University developed a new type of micro-data logger to track the birds’ movements, and fitted them to 19 common swifts that were later caught again. Without going into too much detail about the results of the study, the findings showed that common swifts spent over 99% of their time during the 10-month non-breeding period in the air.
“A few swifts in our study never landed during this period,” study author Anders Hedenstr m told Seeker, adding that he believed the birds somehow sleep while flying. The study didn’t analyze how common swifts can do that, but it’s supposed that it is through a mechanism similar to that of frigate birds and Alpine swifts, which also can stay in the air for months.
Common swifts are born to fly. Their bodies have adapted to the almost non-stop flight-their wings are long and narrow, their legs are short and light, and they have an almost perfect aerodynamic shape. They also change their feathers very slowly over a period of six months, so as not to affect their flight.
Swifts generally have a higher survivability rate compared to most birds and their love of flight is believed to directly influence that. Being in the air for long periods of time means they don’t have to worry about meeting predators except those catching then by accident. Data shows that common swifts can reach ages of 20 years or more, and fly over three million kilometers. That’s seven round trips to the moon.
12. What can we know about the common swifts
A. They fly in the air all the year around.
B. They are the only birds without landing for months.
C. They stay longer in the air than any other bird.
D. They can’t fly long without warn air currents.
13. Why did the researcher fit the micro-data logger to the swifts
A. To limit their flight range. B. To catch more swifts.
C To record their activity. D. To measure their flight height.
14. What’s the paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Common swifts’ perfect flying body structure. B. The reasons for common swifts’ long flight.
C. The speed of changing their feathers. D. The differences of their movements.
15. What can we infer from the text
A. Some swifts can fly far to the moon. B. Swifts don’t have natural enemies.
C. Flight contributes to swifts’ long life. D. The higher the swifts fly, the safer they are.

People have long called college the “great equalizer,” meaning it gives students from all backgrounds the same opportunities or similar chances for success. A study announced in February 2017 supports this idea.
The findings may not come as a surprise to some. For example, it showed a degree from an “Ivy League” or another highly selective school helps students from low income families a great deal. Ivy League is a term for eight private universities in the northeastern United States. Many people consider them to be among the best for higher education in the world.
The study found that about 60 percent of the lowest income students at lvy League schools earned as much as students from the highest income families later in life. But the high cost and strong competition to attend one of these schools can be a barrier (障碍) for many students.
What may be more interesting is what less widely known colleges can do. The study identified 10 less selective universities that also helped large numbers of students escape poverty. This proves that any given college can be a tool for success.
However, there are other things to consider. The study notes that Ivy League and other top schools are less likely to admit students from low-income families. On average, a young person from the highest income background is 77 percent more likely to attend one of the highest income background is 77 percent more likely to attend one of these schools than someone from the lowest income background.
Also, while a college education may help almost everyone, higher income students still have an advantage. The students born into the highest income families still earned at least two percent more after college than anyone else. This is because people from wealthier families have more connections that can help their children.
8. What finding attracts the author’s more attention
A. Non-famous schools also benefit students.
B. t is quite competitive to enter famous schools.
C. College education has great effects on students.
D. Ordinary schools do better than well-known ones.
9. What is unfairness of the lvy League and other top schools
A. They bring too much stress on students.
B. They charge too much for education.
C. They look down upon poor students.
D. They offer more chances to the rich.
10. What factor mentioned in the text can affect a student’s income
A. College major courses. B. Different universities.
C. Family background. D. Records of study.
11. What is the best title of this text
A. You Don’t have to Choose the Most Famous Schools
B. Does a College Education Help All People Equally
C. Is College Education a Must For Poor Students
D. Well-Known Universities Help You Succeed

As its name suggests, the common swift is a common bird that lives all across Europe and much of Asia, but their flight time is anything but common. It currently holds the record for the most time spent in the air per year, with data showing that some species can spend up to 10 months out of 12 without landing even once. They drink and eat in the air, feeding on any insects that they can catch in flight. They can mate in the air as well, and they can also sleep in the air by gliding on warm air currents known as “thermals”.
A team of researchers at Lund University developed a new type of micro-data logger to track the birds’ movements, and fitted them to 19 common swifts that were later caught again. Without going into too much detail about the results of the study, the findings showed that common swifts spent over 99% of their time during the 10-month non-breeding period in the air.
“A few swifts in our study never landed during this period,” study author Anders Hedenstr m told Seeker, adding that he believed the birds somehow sleep while flying. The study didn’t analyze how common swifts can do that, but it’s supposed that it is through a mechanism similar to that of frigate birds and Alpine swifts, which also can stay in the air for months.
Common swifts are born to fly. Their bodies have adapted to the almost non-stop flight-their wings are long and narrow, their legs are short and light, and they have an almost perfect aerodynamic shape. They also change their feathers very slowly over a period of six months, so as not to affect their flight.
Swifts generally have a higher survivability rate compared to most birds and their love of flight is believed to directly influence that. Being in the air for long periods of time means they don’t have to worry about meeting predators except those catching then by accident. Data shows that common swifts can reach ages of 20 years or more, and fly over three million kilometers. That’s seven round trips to the moon.
12. What can we know about the common swifts
A. They fly in the air all the year around.
B. They are the only birds without landing for months.
C. They stay longer in the air than any other bird.
D. They can’t fly long without warn air currents.
13. Why did the researcher fit the micro-data logger to the swifts
A. To limit their flight range. B. To catch more swifts.
C To record their activity. D. To measure their flight height.
14. What’s the paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Common swifts’ perfect flying body structure. B. The reasons for common swifts’ long flight.
C. The speed of changing their feathers. D. The differences of their movements.
15. What can we infer from the text
A. Some swifts can fly far to the moon. B. Swifts don’t have natural enemies.
C. Flight contributes to swifts’ long life. D. The higher the swifts fly, the safer they are.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. C
