  I major in Mechanical Engineering and Political Science.When someone hears what I study,I’m usually met with two reactions.First up is a small smile with the word “overachiever” on the tip of their tongue.The second is a look of confusion,followed by an exaggerated (夸张的) “Why”.The short answer: I want to be a problem solver,and engineering teaches me how to become that type of person.In addition,I also want to be able to look at the bigger picture.
It’s the beginning of a new year,and a lot of first-years have plans for double or triple majors.However,as most of us quickly realise after that first fall semester,college is a lot! We are unavoidably forced to make choices—do we keep trying to make our double or triple majors work or do we completely switch gears The thing I wished someone told me on day one is if you’re passionate about something,it’s not going to feel like work.Political Science can be challenging,but to me,it’s fun to read the laws and see the impact each word has on our interpretation.
This may sound hard to accept,but if you are double or triple majoring because you think you’re in a race with your peers,you’re only running yourself into the ground.Don’t double or triple major if you are doing it for a mark on your resumé,because then your life will be a living hell for the next four years.What is going to make you impressive is the passion that you have—whether it is in your study,career,or something else your career and study will enable you to do.
Always think about your “why” when it comes to the schedule a double or triple major entails.Because at the end of the day,it’s going to be you doing the homework—so try to enjoy what you’re doing along the ride for what it’s worth.

Ⅳ.阅读理解(共4题;每题2.5分,共10分)
  Do you know what Fear and Faith have in common Fear believes in a negative future. Faith believes in a positive future.Both believe in something that has not yet happened.So I ask you,if neither the positive nor negative future has happened yet,why not choose to believe in the positive future
I believe during these challenging times we have a choice between two roads:the positive road and the negative road.And our bus can’t be on two roads at the same time.So we have to make a choice and this choice determines our belief about the future and the attitude and actions we bring to the present.
I’m not saying we shouldn’t have any fear.There are times when fear is a gift.A healthy dose (剂量) of fear causes us to examine our situation and plan for the future.It moves us to smell the cheese and expect the change.When used wisely it allows us to manage risks and make better decisions.Some fear is good.
However,what I have observed lately is a surprising,huge dose of fear is spreading in the hearts and minds of far too many people.This oversized fear is causing leaders and their organisations to either act unreasonably or not act at all.They are hurrying in a million different directions because of fear.In both cases,fear is leading them to take the negative road to failure.
The answer is the positive road paved (铺) with faith and belief that your best days are not behind you but ahead of you.With this belief you make the right choices and actions today that will create your positive future tomorrow.You stay calm,focused and committed to your purpose.You look for ways to save money and cut costs without making unreasonable fear-based decisions that sacrifice your future success.You identify opportunities in the midst of the challenges and you focus on solutions instead of problems.
Your faith in a positive future leads to powerful actions today.The future has not happened yet and you have a say in what it looks like by the way you think and act.Fear or Faith.The choice is yours.
【语篇导读】 本文是议论文。文章主要讨论了面对未来时人们所反映出来的两种心理状态,并呼吁我们要积极地去面对未来。

  It was my birthday,and I was celebrating it as I had done for years: Watching the annual Perseid meteor shower (流星雨).But this time,as the meteor flashed across the sky,I,a junior girl,began to question,“Could my lifelong love for astronomy be more than a hobby ”
I was driven to pursue my education like my best friend’s dad—a pharmacist (药剂师),one of the few professional role models in my neighbourhood,therefore,I chose to major in pharmacy,the science of preparing medicines,at the University of North Carolina.
The university was only a 3.5-hour drive away,but it felt like it was across the universe.In the weeks since I began my pharmacy degree,I had met people with jobs and PhDs in different branches of science—neuroscience,archaeology and even astrophysics.Their passion and knowledge opened my eyes to worlds I had never imagined.As my birthday and the Perseid meteor shower approached,I was faced with a decision: Should I stick to my long-standing plans or take a step into the unknown
Ultimately,a solar eclipse (日食) helped me make my decision.As the Moon gradually shaded the Sun,the world darkened around me.The stillness of the water,the desperate calls of birds and the fading sunset deeply moved me.I knew what I had to do.I chose to pursue previously unimagined options.
Facing years of challenges and growth,I worked odd jobs before earning a second degree in physics,starting a PhD in astronomy,and realised that the night sky’s vastness inspired me to overcome doubts and follow my dreams.As I approached the final year of my PhD,I realised that growing up with the night sky gave me a valuable gift.It gave me an insight into life.On the scale of our vast universe,our individual needs,desires,fears and insecurities shrink to insignificance,bringing humanity together.It liberated me from earthly worries,shame,or self-doubt and encouraged me to pursue new dreams.

【解析】 考查非谓语动词。句中decide是谓语动词,设空处为非谓语动词,主语You和get之间是主动关系,应用现在分词形式。故填getting。
4.【答案】 to do
【解析】 考查固定搭配。train sb to do sth意为“培训某人做某事”。故填to do。
5.【答案】 strength/strengths
【解析】 考查名词。your的后面应用名词形式作宾语,strong的名词是strength,意为“优势”,为可数名词。此处既可以表示一个优势,用单数,也可以表示多个优势,用复数。故填strength/strengths。
6.【答案】 based
【解析】 考查非谓语动词。be based on意为“基于……”。句中get是谓语动词,设空处为非谓语动词,应用based作状语。故填based。
7.【答案】 be applied
【解析】 考查动词的语态。根据句意可知,which指的是personality traits and skills,和apply之间是被动关系;根据情态动词can可知,此处应用be动词原形。故填be applied。
8.【答案】 on/upon
【解析】 考查介词。focus on/upon意为“专注于”,是固定短语。故填on/upon。
9.【答案】 is
【解析】 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句子描述一般性事实,应用一般现在时,且句中为动名词形式作主语,谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填is。
10.【答案】 that
【解析】 考查同位语从句。There is no doubt that 意为“毫无疑问……”,设空处应用that引导同位语从句。故填that。Unit 1 课时作业(四)

Positive Thinking Quotes to Inspire Optimism
  We have all been given the gift that is life.1.    We can choose to waste it,or we can choose to have the best life possible.
2.    Some people are afraid of change,preferring to continue along in the rut (车辙) that they have dug for themselves.They are leading a wasted life because they are not making use of their full potential.They are not achieving because they are afraid of what will happen if they try.
The key to achieving a successful life is to change your view of yourself and the world around you.Every aspect of your life can be changed through positive thinking.Think positively about yourself,and you will become more confident and more decisive.When faced with a problem,think to yourself,“I can do this.” 3.    Don’t give up and be negative. Keep trying until the job is done.
Never accept defeat.Don’t allow others to persuade you that something cannot be done. There is always a way,and the positive thinker will keep looking for that alternative way.
4.    Maintaining an open mind allows the positive thinker to take every opportunity that they meet,and use it to their advantage.
Hard work and commitment scare some people.They fear that in some way,they are not good enough or skilled enough to succeed.5.    They know that they are good enough and know how to get the skills they need.A positive thinker is a learner,as knowledge is always useful.
A.What we do with it is up to us.
B.The positive thinker will overcome these doubts.
C.Then find the best way to achieve the result you want.
D.Anyone with a negative attitude towards life can change.
E.Positive thinking is the oil that keeps the wheels of your ambition turning.
F.A positive thinker will always be ready to adapt his ideas to suit the situation.
G.Most people want to look back at a long life filled with success and happiness.

  It was my birthday,and I was celebrating it as I had done for years: Watching the annual Perseid meteor shower (流星雨).But this time,as the meteor flashed across the sky,I,a junior girl,began to question,“Could my lifelong love for astronomy be more than a hobby ”
I was driven to pursue my education like my best friend’s dad—a pharmacist (药剂师),one of the few professional role models in my neighbourhood,therefore,I chose to major in pharmacy,the science of preparing medicines,at the University of North Carolina.
The university was only a 3.5-hour drive away,but it felt like it was across the universe.In the weeks since I began my pharmacy degree,I had met people with jobs and PhDs in different branches of science—neuroscience,archaeology and even astrophysics.Their passion and knowledge opened my eyes to worlds I had never imagined.As my birthday and the Perseid meteor shower approached,I was faced with a decision: Should I stick to my long-standing plans or take a step into the unknown
Ultimately,a solar eclipse (日食) helped me make my decision.As the Moon gradually shaded the Sun,the world darkened around me.The stillness of the water,the desperate calls of birds and the fading sunset deeply moved me.I knew what I had to do.I chose to pursue previously unimagined options.
Facing years of challenges and growth,I worked odd jobs before earning a second degree in physics,starting a PhD in astronomy,and realised that the night sky’s vastness inspired me to overcome doubts and follow my dreams.As I approached the final year of my PhD,I realised that growing up with the night sky gave me a valuable gift.It gave me an insight into life.On the scale of our vast universe,our individual needs,desires,fears and insecurities shrink to insignificance,bringing humanity together.It liberated me from earthly worries,shame,or self-doubt and encouraged me to pursue new dreams.
【语篇导读】 本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述的是作者在追求药学学位的过程中,因对天文学的热爱和一次日食的经历,最终决定追随梦想,转行投身天文学的故事。
(  )1.What motivated the author to major in pharmacy

[B]The encouragement of her friend.
[C]Her childhood passion for pharmacy.
[D]The influence of her best friend’s father.

  Do you know what Fear and Faith have in common Fear believes in a negative future. Faith believes in a positive future.Both believe in something that has not yet happened.So I ask you,if neither the positive nor negative future has happened yet,why not choose to believe in the positive future
I believe during these challenging times we have a choice between two roads:the positive road and the negative road.And our bus can’t be on two roads at the same time.So we have to make a choice and this choice determines our belief about the future and the attitude and actions we bring to the present.
I’m not saying we shouldn’t have any fear.There are times when fear is a gift.A healthy dose (剂量) of fear causes us to examine our situation and plan for the future.It moves us to smell the cheese and expect the change.When used wisely it allows us to manage risks and make better decisions.Some fear is good.
However,what I have observed lately is a surprising,huge dose of fear is spreading in the hearts and minds of far too many people.This oversized fear is causing leaders and their organisations to either act unreasonably or not act at all.They are hurrying in a million different directions because of fear.In both cases,fear is leading them to take the negative road to failure.
The answer is the positive road paved (铺) with faith and belief that your best days are not behind you but ahead of you.With this belief you make the right choices and actions today that will create your positive future tomorrow.You stay calm,focused and committed to your purpose.You look for ways to save money and cut costs without making unreasonable fear-based decisions that sacrifice your future success.You identify opportunities in the midst of the challenges and you focus on solutions instead of problems.
Your faith in a positive future leads to powerful actions today.The future has not happened yet and you have a say in what it looks like by the way you think and act.Fear or Faith.The choice is yours.
