What is a GPA
A GPA, or Grade Point Average, typically ranging from one to four, is a number reflecting your course performance on average.It's used by universities to determine whether students meet academic standards and by students to enhance job prospects or secure admission into post－graduate programs.
How to calculate a GPA
Determine the letter grade and the number of credit hours for each course you take in a term；
Translate the letter grade to grade points using your school's grading system；
Multiply the grade points by the credit hours for that course；
Add up all the credit hours for the courses；
Divide the total number of grade points by the total credit hours and you get the GPA.
Example: Academic Transcript of Jane Smith
Courses Letter Grade Grade points Credit hours Total points GPA
Creative Writing A＋ 4.0 3 12 －
Psychology A－ 3.7 3 11.1 －
History B＋ 3.3 3 9.9 －
Computer Science F 0.0 2 0 －
Total － － 11 33
What are the consequences of failing college courses
Every failing grade (F) significantly impacts your GPA for that academic year, limiting clubs, organizations and program choices, as competitive programs require top GPAs.
Most financial aid programs require a specific GPA.A sharp drop in GPA due to several course failures may lead to withdrawal from financial aid programs, unless you retake the courses and pass.
For college athletes on sports scholarships, failing courses repeatedly can lead to losing scholarships and team spots.
Failing multiple courses can result in school removal and affect future applications.

Chris Smith's early life seemed ordinary, similar to any other boy in his small－town class with a cheerful character, sports involvement, and a charming smile.However, his family encountered big trouble, due to his father's dishonest business practices.
He ended up homeless and it all began when Chris's little brother drowned, leading to his father's imprisonment and his mother's emotional shutdown.Chris found himself homeless when his mother left without notice.At 17, he relied on his newly married sister's hospitality, hoping to graduate high school and make it on his own.
Despite challenges, a pivotal moment came from his history teacher, recognizing Chris's intelligence and warning him of potential regrets if he didn't graduate.Guidance extended further with Chris's wrestling coach, teaching him the value of hard work and teamwork over individual achievement.
For Chris, school became a retreat.He would go to the library and gym, finding inspiration in stories of underdogs overcoming odds.Graduation brought a full college scholarship, but financial struggles led to loss of funding.Determined, Chris secured grants and loans, transferring to a smaller college, and graduating in the top 10 of his class.
Undiscouraged by setbacks, Chris earned acceptance to medical school, got married, and faced a new challenge when he and his wife adopted a child in need.Applying for medical residencies, Chris aimed high, including Johns Hopkins, the No.1 program in the nation.To his surprise, he received the acceptance letter.
Chris, now a practicing radiologist, emphasizes the importance of hard work to students, echoing the encouragement he received.His journey from homelessness to professional success illustrates the transformative power of flexibility, mentorship, and a determined commitment to one's dreams.

When we are desperately searching for glasses, wallet or keys, we might wish to have a photographic memory, but the truth is that we are designed to forget.
In fact, the majority of what we experience in a given day is likely to be forgotten in less than 24 hours.And that is a good thing.Think of all the passing encounters with people you will never see again, the times you spend waiting in a queue at the supermarket, and those awkward times while stuck in a crowded elevator.If our brains stored away every moment of every experience, we would never be able to find the information we need amid an ever－increasing pile of junk.
I have studied how we are able to recall past events, an ability known as “episodic memory”．Endel Tulving, a pioneering cognitive psychologist who coined the term, described episodic memory as the unique human capability for “mental time travel”， wondering at will over what has happened as readily as over what might happen.
Recalling a rich episodic memory, you'll have a feeling of being transported back to a point in your past, a specific time and place.For instance, the smell of freshly baked pastries might remind you of having breakfast with your grandmother, or a song might evoke your youth.This is why, if you have misplaced your keys, getting in touch with the sights, sounds and thoughts from an earlier time period can be an effective way of accessing those memories, enabling you to relive these past experiences.
On average, episodic memory gets worse as we get older, and that is due, at least in part, to the strange developmental path of the prefrontal cortex — an area of the brain that helps support episodic memory.In humans, the prefrontal cortex continues to develop throughout childhood and adolescence, only reaching maturity in young adults.Then it begins to decline in function, starting as early as your 30s.Consequently, ageing is a bit like having a dysfunctional time machine that frequently sends us to the wrong place.
8．Why is it a good thing to be forgetful
A．It is beneficial to health.
B．It frees people from worries.
C．It makes room for significant things.
D．It can signal some potential diseases.
9．Why does the author mention “baked pastries” and the “song” in paragraph 4
A．To illustrate his idea.
B．To clarify a concept.
C．To present his viewpoint.
D．To explain a phenomenon.
10．How can you refresh your memory
A．By making use of your five senses.
B．By contacting your family members.
C．By putting yourself into the relevant context.
D．By building mental relations with the present.
11．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Old people are likely to get lost.
B．Memory decline is irresistible at 30.
C．Age plays a vital role in memory declining.
D．The prefrontal cortex determines our memory.
D
Evolution can perform extraordinary makeovers; today's airborne songbirds evolved from the wingless, earthbound dinosaurs that wandered millions of years ago.But some organisms seem to be unchanged — in other words, escape natural selection.The coelacanth, a modern－day fish, is nearly identical to its 410－million－year－old fossils.
Scientists have long wondered how these species do so.It has been assumed that natural selection keeps some species unchanged by selecting for moderate or average qualities (stabilizing selection) rather than selecting for more extreme qualities that would cause a species to change (directional selection)．
But a study published in the National Academy of Sciences USA contradicts this idea, showing that evolution constantly favors different qualities in seemingly unchanging animals to improve short－term survival.In the long term, though, “all that evolution cancels out and leads to no change，” says the study's lead author, James Stroud.
Stroud and his colleagues studied for lizard (蜥蜴) species; all relatively unchanged for 20 million years.The researchers caught members of these populations every six months for three years.They measured each lizard's head size, leg length, mass and height, as well as the size of its sticky toes, noting which individuals survived.Stroud expected to observe stabilizing selection at work preserving moderate qualities.Instead he saw clearer evidence of directional selection: some lizards with unique characteristics, such as stickier toes, survived better.
“The study offers a good explanation for why we see what we think is stabilizing selection，” says Tadashi Fukami, an ecologist studying evolution at Stanford University.Many new qualities are evolving in the short term, but they don't provide a crucial advantage over the long term.In other words, species staying unchanged may simply have found the best possible combination of qualities for lasting success in their environment.So what happens when the lizards' environment changes more dramatically To help answer this bigger question, Stroud is still making trips to visit the lizards.
12．Why does the author mention the “coelacanth fish” in paragraph 1
A．To demonstrate the power of evolution.
B．To add evidence to natural selection.
C．To give an example of unchanged species.
D．To prove species' extraordinary makeovers.
13．What's the focus of paragraph 2
A．Unsolved mysteries.　　　 B．A common belief.
C．A sharp contrast. D．Unique characteristics.
14．How did Stroud conduct his research
A．By analyzing lizard fossils.
B．By tracking research objects.
C．By illustrating stabilizing selection.
D．By categorizing qualities of lizards.
15．What will Stroud probably do in the future
A．Make trips to visit lizard experts.
B．Summarize average features of lizards.
C．Reveal the best combinations of qualities.
D．Examine lizards under extreme conditions.

A．This anxiety is not entirely new.
B．Who are reluctant to pick up phones
C．Why are we making fewer phone calls
D．It represents a sense of being separated.
E．Therefore, it is important to take phone anxiety seriously.
F．This can lead to misunderstandings and a feeling of disconnect.
G．This balance is key to establishing good relationships in increasingly digital world.

The day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting days for everyone in the class.It took place during the first week of the term.Everyone was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.
Some jobs were more interesting than others, and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones.When giving them out, the teacher took into account which pupils had been the most responsible during the previous year, and those children were the ones who most looked forward to this day.Among them was Rita.All the children knew Rita was the favourite to be given the best job of all.
But that year there was a big surprise.Each child received one of the normal jobs, like preparing the books or the radio for the lessons, cleaning the blackboard, or looking after one of the pets.But Rita's job was very different.She was given a little box containing some sand and one ant.And even though the teacher insisted the ant was a very special one, Rita could not help feeling disappointed.Her classmates felt sorry for her.They said it was unfair to her.Even her father became angry with the teacher, and encouraged Rita to pay no attention to this unimportant pet.
However, Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing something special with that job of such little interest.Rita said to herself, “I will turn this little task into something great.”
So Rita started investigating (研究) all about her little ant: the different species and their habitat and behavior.She changed the little box to make it perfect for the ant.She gave the ant the best food, and it ended up growing quite a bit bigger than anyone had expected.
One day in spring, the classroom door opened and a man came in.The teacher interrupted the class with great joy, and said, “This is Doctor Martinez.”

参考范文：
Dear editor，
I am writing to respond to your article about establishing a nature reserve by the river.
I don't think it will be welcomed by young people.Although a nature reserve can be beneficial in providing habitats for wild animals and plants and protecting our environment, it should be acknowledged that a city with such a large population cannot afford to spare a vast space to function simply as a nature reserve.
A recreational wetland park, I believe, is an alternative.In this park, for one thing, the wildlife, especially those birds, can seek shelter and the water quality can be improved.For another, the citizens, especially the teenagers, not only can appreciate the natural ecology but also enjoy various activities such as biking, hiking and camping.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours，
Li Hua
