You’ve got to know your own value, know what you want, and stick with it. That’s what T. McDowell’s advice to others is, and it’s certainly worked for him. This high school senior is currently the owner of Immersion Imaging, a successful company specializing in Internet commerce solutions and online financial databases.
McDowell launched the company in 2012, which was originally called 4th Dimension Graphics. Two years later, it was recognized as Immersion Imaging. Surprisingly, he didn’t begin the company with the assistance of any partner, but instead founded it on his own with the experience and contacts that he already had.
“It’s always been a one - person operation. I could easily take on partners or scale up the business some more, but I want to keep it this way for now,” McDowell said. I don’t lack any contracts right now. I like it because it’s flexible, so that if I need more income, I can do more; and if I take a break for a while, I don’t have any problems.” If McDowell spends between 30 and 60 hours a week working, Immersion Imaging will offer him a steady income.
Part of the reason why McDowell ended up in the computer industry might be explained by the exposure he had as a child. However, he spends his free time on more than just computers. His real interest lies in aviation. With his business spirit and success, McDowell won’t have a problem realizing his dreams of the sky one day
1．What does McDowell’s company focus on (No more than 10 words)
2．Why does McDowell want his company to be a one-person operation (no more than 5 words)
3．What does the underlined phrase “scale up” probably mean (One word)
4．How can he enjoy a steady income (No more than 10 words)

Why are so many people unhappy in their jobs There are two primary reasons. First, some people are convinced that earning a living is wasting time that they could spend enjoying themselves or uncovering their true talents.
If this is the case with you, recall your last long vacation. Was it two weeks of complete enjoyment More likely it was a week and a half of fun in the sun, with another half a week of “Boy, I can’t wait to get back to work.” If you didn’t feel such vacation blues, then imagine taking a leave of absence. You could use it to work on a novel, attend classes or just sit around watching TV. At the end of three months, in all likelihood, your self-respect would be at an all-time low. While all work and no play are not good, all play and no work are disastrous. We need to feel we are accomplishing something. We also need some form of order in our lives.
The second and perhaps more common reason for people not to like their work is that they feel trapped. Once you’ve been at a company for five years and get married, have a mortgage and a child, you often feel you have very little choice about jumping ship if things aren’t turning out as you’d planned. A steady paycheck can be the biggest restrict of all. People hate having to do something because they have no other choice.
If you find yourself hating your job, your option takes the form of an up-to-date resume. You might also take a weekly glance through the help-wanted section, and make some visits to industry functions where low-key networking can take place. You’re not giving up on your current job. Rather, you are providing yourself with an option. If things get unbearable at work, you could jump ship.
At the core of adopting a positive attitude to your workplace is, above all, assuming responsibility for your own situation. Most people feel controlled by their environment, but they really aren’t. They have to learn to manage that environment so they can get from it what they need.
6．What are people likely to do after a long vacation according to the author (No more than 10 words)
7．What can people get from work according to the second paragraph (No more than 10 words)
8．How do you interpret the underlined word in the last paragraph (One word)
9．What do you think is the main idea of the passage (No more than 15 words)
10．What will you do if you hate your job one day in the future (No more than 20 words)

My love for Rio started on a girl’s holiday in the year 2006. It was love at first sight. Six months after returning to my hometown of London I decided to leave my job as a Board Director at a public relations (PR) company, packed up everything and moved here.
Unable to continue my profession of PR without the required language fluency. I fell into buying and selling properties while enjoying everything that Rio had to offer. One thing led to another and before long, I had become a property agent and in 2010 set up In Town Property, which today is one of Rio’s top property letting and buying companies.
I’ve always had a deep love for dance and I was immediately drawn to samba. I love its exciting rhythm, and the joy and freedom it offers. On arrival I decided it would be necessary to learn Portuguese but just as important would be samba. Within my first few months living here I had begun samba lessons.
In 2011 I paraded in the Rio Carnival festival for the first time. It was a wonderful experience. I’d never felt more happiness than singing loudly as I sambaed all the way down the street. Since then I have been in the parade every year.
Over the last years, I have had the opportunity to parade with some of Rio’s top samba schools, such as Mocidade, Beija-Flor, and Império da Tijuca. In 2017, I had the great honor of dancing for Império da Tijuca on its first float (花车). It was an unbelievable experience!
I’ m so passionate about this city, carnival and samba. They bring joy to the world and I want to share my love and experience with others. I think everyone needs a chance in life to live out their dreams and can’t wait to bring this magic to you!

Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur (创业者), who in May 2015 set up her business AilieCandy. By the time she was 13, her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids’ teeth, instead of destroying them.
It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, “Why can’t I make a healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it ” With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.
With her dad’s permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently, she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria.
Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moore’s product — CanCandy.
As CanCandy’s success grows, so does Moore’s credibility as a young entrepreneur. Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created, and she’s also positive about what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile.
Meanwhile, with her parents’ help, Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life. Although she founded her company early on in life, she wasn’t driven primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles. She donates 10% of AilicCandy’s profits to Big Smiles. With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.

Today you could get a ticket if you don’t drive on your side of the road. Worse yet, you could have a head-on collision(正面碰撞). But in 1917, Dr. June McCarroll could not get drivers to understand what seems so obvious today.
June McCarroll was born in New York in 1867. Unlike most young women of her age, she attended medical college in Chicago. After her husband became ill, the couple moved to Southern California in 1904.
In 1917, while driving down a familiar road near Indio, California Dr. McCarroll had a driving accident. In order to avoid a head-on collision with a truck going in the opposite direction, her car was driven off the road and into a ditch (沟). This gave Dr. McCarrolla new idea—paint lines on the road, separating lanes(车道) with a center line.
“My car and I found ourselves face-to-face with a truck on the highway. It did not take me long to choose between a sandy ditch to the right and a ten-ton truck to the left! Then an idea struck me.”
McCarroll wrote to the local government. However, the government didn’t take McCarroll seriously. After receiving no response to her letters, McCarroll took her idea and matters into her own hands. She painted a white line down the center of the street to make two separate lanes of traffic as a way to prevent future collisions.
Dr. McCarroll then asked women’s groups through the state of California to organize letter writing campaigns to state and local politicians and in 1924 California approved of the practice of painting traffic lines on highway roads. The safety practice quickly spread to other states, then other countries. By virtue of the lines, thousands of accidents are prevented and an untold number of lives are saved each year.
21．What is the text mainly about (no more than 10 words)
22．What encouraged the idea of painting lines on the highway (no more than 5 words)
23．How did the local government treat McCarroll’s suggestion at the beginning (no more than 10 words)
24．What do the underlined words “By virtue of” in Paragraph 6 probably mean (no more than 5 words)
25．According to the last two paragraphs, what do you think of McCarroll (no more than 20 words)

During the final term of my theater and performance degree at the University of Leeds, I found myself standing outside Berkeley Court care home with three classmates and an underdeveloped idea. We planned to hold some interactive workshops with the residents to try to inspire memory and social engagement.
I remember being nervous, aware that we were working with people who were vulnerable, and that I had no idea what I was doing. Some residents were almost nonverbal, some were clearly not with ability. Some were happy to see us, and some were not.
I had decided to play music at the end of the session. We went with the song My Way because the residents, all roughly 80 years old, were probably listening to the hit song in their late 20s.
Once I pressed play, it was as if a spell had been cast. Nearly everyone in the room stood up and sang what seemed like every word. I was so profoundly moved. Many of them were communicating much better. It looked and felt like magic.
Off I went to drama school, but I thought about that experience almost daily. So when we were given the opportunity to write a script for a theater festival, I created a love story about music and dementia (痴呆), spanning 50 years of a couple’s life.
And now, 10 years later, the show I made is running again in London thanks to the Music for Dementia campaign.
When my grandma was diagnosed with dementia toward the end of her life, I didn’t struggle to communicate with her in the way that other people in their might have done. I felt more able to tune into what she needed and better equipped to see her underneath the disease.
I now know that music-based intervention reduce the need for medication in more than 60% of people living with dementia. I don’t know what My Way would be, but I certainly think we should all strive to find our song and do our best to stay connected to the people we share it with.

27．What made the author profoundly moved (No more than 15 words)

My father was 44 and knew he wasn’t going to make it to 45. He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.
Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my heart. One part always stands out. “Right now, you are pretending to be a time-killer. But I know that one day, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.” Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself. “You will do something great.” He didn’t know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I’ve felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask, “Is this what you were talking about, Dad Should I keep going ”
A long way from 12 now, I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress. Lately, though, I’ve come to believe he’d want me to move on to what will come next: to be proud of and believe in, somebody else. It’s time to start writing my own letters to my children. As mothers, our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. Our kids don’t retreat because they’re afraid to fail. They’re only afraid of failing us. They don’t worry about being disappointed. Their fear--as mine was until my father’s letter--is of being a disappointment.
Give your children permission to succeed. They’re waiting for you to believe in them. I always knew my parents loved me. But trust me: That belief will be more complete, that love will be more real, and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts: “Don’t worry; you’ll do something great.” Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.
31．Why did the father write a letter to the author (No more than 20 words)
32．What did the father mainly want the author to learn from his letter (No more than 15 words)
33．What does the underlined word “retreat” mean (No more than 3 words)
34．What is the children’s fear (No more than 10 words)
35．If your parents were to write you a letter, what would you expect to read Give your reasons. (No more than 25 words)

Advertising is all around us and it seems to have become an unavoidable part of our life. Digital marketing experts estimate that most Americans may be exposed to around 4, 000 to 10, 000 advertisements a day.
You may think you will never fall for an ad and be persuaded to buy something, but read the article first before you decide!
While direct hard-sell ads might be easy to detect — such as those for products endorsed (宣传) by celebrities — soft-sell ads may be more difficult to spot. One such method advertisers use is to make customers believe there is an immediate need to buy the product using words or phrases such as hurry, act now, last chance, now or never.
These are not the only methods, of course. Other methods include giving away samples and sponsorship of events, In fact, there are many methods which work for different products in different places. Gillian Greene, Creative Director of Cheesy Bee, an advertising agency in London, confirms this, stating their adverts are tailor-made (特制的) according to the situation.
Not all ads are directed towards the end customer. Advertising agencies will make adverts with the investors (投资人) and shop owners in mind. An impressive and expensive ad may signal to the investors that the ad agency is successful and they may then be encouraged to invest in it. Similarly, shop owners are more likely to stock (囤积) well-advertised products because they know customers are more likely to buy them. In this way, ads can help sell products even when they are not directed at the customer. Ads work in all stages of a business and, perhaps, that is the success of advertising.
36．What is the author’s purpose in using two sets of numbers in Para. 1 (No more than 15words)
37．What is the meaning of the underlined words in Para. 2 (no more than 3 words)
38．How does a soft-sell advertising work according to Para. 3 (No more than 15 words)
39．What is the article mainly about (No more than 10 words)
40．Do you think advertising is necessary And why (No more than 20 words)

In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness discloses the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.
From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.
Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.
41．When will people feel happy as the author has discovered (No more than 7 words)
42．Why does the author feel sad sometimes in Paragraph 2 (No more than 12 words)
43．What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights (No more than 6 words)
44．What does the underlined the sentence in the last paragraph probably mean (No more than 5 words)
45．What can we learn from the author’s experience (No more than 20 words)

Growing up poor and having parents who didn’t receive a good education, I often struggled at school. What was worse, my parents often moved to different places. They likely did not realize the damaging effects it had on my learning as they moved from apartment to apartment, year after year. I attended seven different schools from kindergarten through the 8th grade. With a fragmented (片段的) education, I entered high school, not doing well in literacy and math. But it was not until I attended a major public state university that I really understood the academic gaps that I had in comparison to my peers. I had to work particularly hard to not only understand the textbooks and lectures, but also catch myself up in basic skills of writing and comprehension. But I wasn’t the one to forgo. No matter how hard it was, I persisted.
Today, I have many degrees, three of them are Master’s Degrees and I am currently in my second year of studying for my doctorate in Educational Leadership.
I share my story for various reasons, but mainly due to the hope that another young child, possibly growing up poor, can realize that an education is the ticket to the quality of life. It can happen for that child. One can be successful! One can overcome all obstacles.
Some days will be extremely tougher than others and someday those accomplishments will glow (发光), but giving up is not a wise choice. It certainly won’t lead to the light at the end of the tunnel. Therefore, we should take advantage of the challenges and difficulties to make us stronger and reflect on how to beat all the differences. We should foster our thinking that current challenges have been designed to build upon our strength, not tear us down. In this way, we can fulfill our long-term goals.
46．What made the author’s study much worse when he was a child (no more than 5 words)
47．What did the author realize after attending a major public state university (no more than 10 words)
48．How do you understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 (no more than 10 words)
49．Why did the author want to share his story (no more than 15 words)
50．What do you learn from the author’s story (no more than 20 words)

19．词句猜测题。根据最后一段“With her talent and determination(凭借她的才华和决心)”并结合上文讲述爱丽丝通过自己的天赋和努力发明CanCandy可知，此处指凭借她的天赋和决心，对艾丽丝来说一切皆是可能的，故画线词的意思是“一切皆有可能”。故答案为：Anything could be possible.

人的性命。
21．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Today you could get a ticket if you don’t drive on your side of the road. Worse yet, you could have a head-on collision(正面碰撞). But in 1917, Dr. June McCarroll could not get drivers to understand what seems so obvious today.(今天，如果你不在自己的路一侧开车，你可能会被罚款。更糟糕的是，你可能会发生正面碰撞。但在1917年，June McCarroll博士无法让司机们理解今天如此明显的事情。)”、第三段的“This gave Dr. McCarrolla new idea—paint lines on the road, separating lanes(车道) with a center line.(这给了McCarrolla博士一个新的想法——在道路上画线，用中心线分隔车道。)”、最后一段的“Dr. McCarroll then asked women’s groups through the state of California to organize letter writing campaigns to state and local politicians and in 1924 California approved of the practice of painting traffic lines on highway roads.(McCarroll博士随后要求加利福尼亚州的妇女团体组织给州和地方政客的写信活动，于是在1924年加利福尼亚批准了在公路上绘制交通线的做法。)”可知，本文主要讲述了June McCarroll博士想出通过在公路上画线来分开车道的主意，并最终促成了这一主意得到落实。全文围绕“画线的公路是如何产生的”展开。故答案为How the roads with painted lines came into being.
22．细节理解题。根据第三段“In 1917, while driving down a familiar road near Indio, California Dr. McCarroll had a driving accident. In order to avoid a head-on collision with a truck going in the opposite direction, her car was driven off the road and into a ditch (沟). This gave Dr. McCarrolla new idea—paint lines on the road, separating lanes(车道) with a center line.(1917年，McCarroll博士在加利福尼亚州印第奥附近一条熟悉的路上开车时发生了一起车祸。为了避免与一辆逆向行驶的卡车迎头相撞，她的车驶离道路，开进了沟里。这给了McCarrolla博士一个新的想法——在道路上画线，用中心线分隔车道。)”可知，她遭遇的一场车祸让她想到了在公路上画线的主意。故答案为A driving accident.
23．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“However, the government didn’t take McCarroll seriously. After receiving no response to her letters, McCarroll took her idea and matters into her own hands.(然而，政府并没有把McCarroll当回事。在她的信没有收到任何回复后，McCarroll将她的想法和事情掌握在自己手中。)”可知，一开始当地政府忽视了她的建议。故答案为The local government ignored her suggestion.
24．短语猜测题。根据最后一段最后一句“By virtue of the lines, thousands of accidents are prevented and an untold number of lives are saved each year.(……这些线条，每年都能防止数千起事故，挽救无数人的生命。)”可推测出，这里是说多亏了道路上画了线条，这预防了许多事故，挽救了许多人的生命。by virtue of意为“由于”，在这里有“幸亏”的含义，与thanks to意思相近。故答案为Thanks to。
25．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“After receiving no response to her letters, McCarroll took her idea and matters into her own hands. She painted a white line down the center of the street to make two separate lanes of
traffic as a way to prevent future collisions.(在她的信没有收到任何回复后，McCarroll将她的想法和事情掌握在自己手中。她在街道中央画了一条白线，使两条车道分开，以防止未来发生碰撞。)”可知，尽管她的建议被忽视，但她并没有放弃，而是积极行动起来，这说明她是一个坚定的人。根据最后一段中的“Dr. McCarroll then asked women’s groups through the state of California to organize letter writing campaigns to state and local politicians and in 1924 California approved of the practice of painting traffic lines on highway roads.McCarroll博士随后要求加利福尼亚州的妇女团体组织给州和地方政客的写信活动，于是在1924年加利福尼亚批准了在公路上绘制交通线的做法。”可知，她能够号召妇女团体，这说明她是一个很有影响力的人。故答案为She is a determined and influential woman who sticks to her idea and inspires others to join her。

He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.(我父亲44岁，他知道自己活不到45岁了。他给我写了一封信，希望信里的一些东西能对我的余生有所帮助。)”可知，作者的父亲给作者写信是因为自己活不到45岁，所以希望信里的一些东西能对作者的余生有所帮助。故答案为Because he would die next year and wrote something to help the author for the rest of her life.。
32．考查推理判断。根据文章第二段“Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my heart. One part always stands out. “Right now, you are pretending to be a time-killer. But I know that one day, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.” Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself. “You will do something great.” He didn’t know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I’ve felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask, “Is this what you were talking about, Dad Should I keep going ”(从我12岁第一次读到他的信的那天起，他的一些话就一直活在我心里。有一部分总是很突出。“现在，你在假装自己是一个消磨时间的人。但我知道，总有一天，你会做一些伟大的事情，让你成为最优秀的人之一。”知道爸爸相信我，我就可以相信自己。“你会做一些伟大的事情。”他不知道那是什么，我也不知道，但在我生命中，当我为自己感到骄傲的时候，我记得他的话，希望他在这里，这样我就可以问：“爸爸，你刚才说的是这个吗？”“我应该继续下去吗？”)”可推知，作者的爸爸希望作者从信中得到支持，从而获得自信。故答案为He hoped his daughter

Their fear--as mine was until my father’s letter--is of being a disappointment.(他们只是害怕让我们失望。他们不担心失望。他们的恐惧——就像我在收到父亲的信之前一样——是担心自己会让人失望。)”可知，孩子们害怕的是自己让人失望。故答案为Their fear is of being a disappointment .或Their fear is of failing their parents。
35．开放题。要求考生谈谈如果自己的父母给自己写信，自己希望信中有什么内容以及理由，考生言之有理即可。故参考答案为I would expect my parents to write about their love, support, and encouragement for me. Because they might help us overcome challenges in life.

37．词义猜测题。根据划线单词后面的句子“be persuaded to buy something, but read the article first before you decide (说服你买东西，但在你决定之前先读一下文章)”可知，你可能认为你永远不会上广告的当，也不会被说服去买东西，但事实往往不是你想的那样。所以划线的词组意为“上……的当”，可用“be deceived by”替换该短语。故答案为be deceived by。
38．推理判断题。根据第三段第二句话“One such method advertisers use is to make customers believe there is an immediate need to buy the product using words or phrases such as hurry, act now, last chance, now or never. (广告商使用的一种方法是让客户相信他们迫切需要购买产品，使用诸如“抓紧时间”、“立即行动”、“最后一次机会”、“现在或永远不要”等词语或短语)”可推知，广告商通过一些误导性的语言来让消费者购买产品。故答案为By misleading words that appear in the ads.

41．细节理解题。根据首段中的“I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy. (我每天都看到人们为我开门，给我的咖啡倒奶油，或者帮我穿外套。我发现这让他们很开心)”可知，作者发现当别人为自己提供帮助时，这些人是开心的。故答案为When they offer their help to others.
42．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others. (从我的轮椅经历中，我看到了人们最好的一面，但有时我感到难过，因为那些看起来独立的人错过了我每天看到的善良。他们看不到别人软弱的一面。)”可知，作者伤心的原因是一些看似独立的人错过了自己每天在他人身上看到的善良。故答案为Because some people miss the kindness the author sees every day.
43．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak. (但他们没有变得不耐烦和生气，而是等待着，因为他们知道前面的司机在某种程度上是软弱的)”可知，当后面的司机看到作者打闪光灯时，他们不再不耐烦，而是耐心等待。故答案为They waited with patience.
44．词句猜测题。根据划线句子前的“Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way.

(更多的时候，如果我们感到软弱的时候我们不假装坚强，或者当我们害怕的时候不假装勇敢，那会更好)”可知，更多的情况是，我们的感受和表现一致会更好。结合but可知，划线内容与上文为转折关系，所以该句的意思应为“要求我们表现的坚强而勇敢的形势并不多”，更多的时候是后者的情况。故答案为But those situations are rare.
45．开放性试题。根据作者在拥挤的车流中打开车灯，表明自己遇到麻烦，从而得到其他司机的理解的经历，再结合第二段中的“Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.(通常，我们会想尽一切办法避免暴露自己的弱点，其中包括很多伪装。但只有当我们不再假装自己勇敢或坚强时，我们才允许人们表现出他们内心的善良。)”可推知，我们能够学到的是：必要时不必假装勇敢或坚强，应承认自己的软弱，让别人知道我们的情况，从而得到他人的帮助。故答案为We should sometimes admit our weakness, let others know our situation and get help from others when necessary.
