Going to school can be a demanding obstacle for many, but some people are well prepared for the challenge. For Dylan Kuehl, being a student has been a challenging joy. The 38-year-old has had a passion for studying, and believes that the more he learns, the more he learns to see the world differently. This open-minded approach and enthusiastic mindset are all the most inspiring as Kuehl has Down syndrome (唐氏综合征).
He knows the struggle of breaking new ground from a lifetime of experience of being different. He has sustained his ability to shine as a unique individual by graduating from The Evergreen State College in Washington State. Kuehl is the first person with Down syndrome in the college’s 51-year history to earn a four-year degree. Not only that, but this also makes him the first person with Down syndrome in Washington state to achieve this remarkable milestone.
Kuehl’s passion for creativity led him to study for a Bachelor of Arts degree. He enjoyed classes inpainting and dance as part of his curriculum, but his primary focus was writing. Out of 900 graduates, he was one of three to be selected to give an address at the graduation ceremony.
“Celebrate your abilities,” Kuehl tells his fellow students in his speech. “Live your life with ambition and pride.”We can all take a leaf out of this inspiring man’s book which is about enthusiasm, positivity, determination and a whole lot of motivating hard work.
Aside from graduating college, Kuehl is also an entrepreneur (企业家). He started his own visual and performing arts company called DK Arts in 2005, where he sells his own artwork and glass jewelry. He plays the drums in a band called Living the Dream, advocating for inclusion through his music.

Since the pre-historic times man has had an urge to satisfy his needs. Be it hunger, shelter or search for a mate, he has always controlled the situations to his advantage. Probably this might be the reason why we humans are the most developed of all living species on the earth. As we climbed the steps of development we somehow left behind common sense and logical thinking. We forgot that we have stopped thinking ahead of time.
If you are hungry, what do you do Get a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet. Just like your stomach even your mind is hungry. But it never lets you know because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover favorite star and many such things. So, it silently began to care about your needs and never let itself grow. When mind looses its freedom to grow creativity gets a full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next ” “Why can’t I think ” “Why am I always given the difficult problems ” Well this is the result of using our brain for thinking of not-so-worthy things.
Hunger of the mind can be actually satisfied through reading. Now why reading and not watching TV Because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from the childhood. Just like that to develop other aspects of our life we have to turn to reading. You have innumerable number of books in this world which will answer all your “How to ” questions.
Once you read a book, you just don’t run your eyes through the lines, but your mind decodes it and explains it to you. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed. Now this seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas. The same seed if used many times can help you link and relate a lot of things of which you would have never thought in your wildest dreams! This is nothing but creativity. More the number of books you read your mind will open up like never before. Also this improves oral skills to a large extent and makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary. Within no time you start speaking English or any language fluently with your friends or other people. And you never seem to run out of the right words at the right time.

I’m an American-born Chinese. I wouldn’t say I’m more American than Chinese or vice versa. My character was equally molded by both cultures. For a long time, I was comfortable with being from two cultures. I was fluent in “Chinglish”.
However, as I grew up, something unexpected rose, causing a parallel tension between the two corresponding cultures. During Chinese events when I was in China, the host would sometimes make fun of America. My relatives would look at me and laugh, asking me how I felt. But how could I respond to a question like that If I said I was uncomfortable, it would just make me seem even more American in their eyes. But I couldn’t pretend to laugh either. So, I often just stayed quiet and smiled.
Sometimes, I’d leave China feeling less Chinese than when I went in.
This past summer, on my way back to Rochester, a man at the airport kept asking my father and I where we were from. When I told him I was from the United States, he didn’t seem to believe me.
He then went on to ask the terrible question, “But like where are you really from, like, where were you born ” And no matter how specific our answers were, the man still seemed a little doubtful. He then went on to ask us if we knew where Tampa, Florida was and if we knew anything about it. It’s moments like these when I realize that sometimes my appearance makes it hard for me to seem fully American.
These experiences made me question if I was more Chinese or American.
I felt like I was neither. So, if I wasn’t completely one culture or the other, what was I In China, I would feel more American, while in America, I would feel more Chinese. There was no balance between my two cultures.
But this doesn’t mean that I don’t embrace (拥抱) both my identities. I love both my Chinese cultural identity and my American one. I just need to learn to love them together.
12．How did the author feel about his identity at the very beginning

B．Because he was unable to speak fluent Chinese at his hometown.
C．Because he had lost face in front of his relatives and friends.
D．Because he was treated as an American by his Chinese relatives.
14．What made the man at the airport keep questioning where the author was from

Jobs that use both technical and creative thinking are among the fastest-growing and highest-paying ones, according to a new report from Burning Glass Technologies, a job market analytics (分析) company in Boston.
It studied millions of job postings to better understand the skills companies require. What they discovered was that many want workers with experience in such new abilities as big-data (数据) gathering and analytics, or design using digital technology.
Burning Glass came up with the term “hybrid jobs” to describe these kinds of positions, which require skills not normally found together. For example, these hybrid jobs might require people with skills in data science and advertising, or engineering and sales. “The jobs of the future don’t involve just one skill,” says Matt Sigelman, chief manager of Burning Glass.
The company expects general job growth of about 10% between 2018 and 2028, but the hybrid jobs by 21%. What’s more, hybrid jobs pay more than positions that call for a traditional set of skills. For example, a marketing manager mastering a database program gets paid 41% more than a traditional one, with an average yearly salary of $100, 000. Moreover, an engineer who improves her sales skills and becomes a consulting engineer for a software company can more than double her pay from $180, 000 to $400, 000.
While data shows that workers who fail to update their skills will be able to find fewer jobs, people in hybrid jobs are less likely to become out of date, with only 12% possibility of being replaced by machine, compared with 42% for general jobs, says Burning Glass. Hybrid jobs are mostly not beginner roles, so they mainly go to workers with years of experience and, most importantly, more training after leaving college. That means workers, bosses and educators will have to think about how to better prepare people for these roles.
16．Why did the company research into job advertisements
A．To understand the growth of best paid workers.
B．To compare workers’ experience with new abilities.
C．To find out companies’ requirements about skills.
D．To tell the possible changes in future job market.
17．Which of the following jobs can be hybrid
A．Data engineer.
B．Machine operator.
C．Marketing manager.
D．Medical consultant.
18．How much is a traditional marketing manager possibly paid every year
A．$180, 000. B．$71, 000.
C．$41, 000. D．$10, 000.
19．Which of the following is the best title for this passage
A．How to Get Trained for Jobs
B．The Skills for “Hybrid” Jobs
C．Future Jobs Requiring “Hybrid” Skills
D．Tips on Finding Fastest-Growing Jobs
D．The biodegraded tree sap.
20．What is the suitable title of the passage

B．Coffee Recycled in a Creative Way
C．The Revolution of Manufacturing Industry
D．The Improvement of Environmental Awareness
