(2016·苏州一模)

First，I want to tell you how proud we are.Getting into Columbia is a real testament of what a great well-rounded student you are.Your academic，artistic，and social skills have truly blossomed(展现) in the last few years.You should be as proud of yourself as we are.

College will be the most important years in your life.It is in college that you

will truly discover what learning is about.You often question “what good is this course”．I encourage you to be inquisitive，but I also want to tell you：“Education is what you have left after all that is taught is forgotten.” What I mean by that is the material taught isn’t as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject，and the ability to analyze a new problem.That is really what learning in college is about—this will be the period where you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired，after which you must become a self-learner.

Do not fall into to trap of dogma(教条)．There is no single simple answer to any question.Remember during your high school debate class，I always asked you to take on the side that you don’t believe in？I did that for a reason—things rarely “black and white”，and there are always many ways to look at a problem.You will become a better problem solver if you recognized that.This is called “critical thinking”，and it is the most important thinking skill you need for your life.This also means you need to become tolerant and supportive of others.I will always remember when I went to my Ph.D.advisor and proposed a new thesis topic，he said，“I don’t agree with you，but I’ll support you.” ________

Follow your passion in college.Take courses you think you will enjoy.Don’t be trapped in what others think or say.Steve Jobs says when you are in college，your passion will create many dots，and later in your life you will connect them.Enjoy picking your dots，and be assured one day you will find your calling，and connect a beautiful curve through the dots.

Most importantly，make friends and be happy.College friends are often the best in life，because during college you are closer to them physically than to your family.Also，going through independence and adulthood is a natural bonding experience.

Bonne chance，my angel and princess.May Columbia become the happiest four years in your life.

A．It’s a parent’s letter intended for a college student.

B．After the years，I have learned this isn’t just flexibility，but encouragement of critical thinking.

C．When I faced the greatest challenge in my life，you gave me a big hug.

D．Your Columbia degree will take you far even if you don’t graduate with honors.

Child Sponsorship Moves Beyond the Basics

One of the most popular forms of charitable giving in use today is child sponsorship as witnessed by the fact that just one of the leading child sponsorship charities currently has over 1 million individual child sponsors worldwide.Despite this huge level of support，it is not generally understood exactly what child sponsorship actually involves.

Most people tend to assume that one’s chosen charity arranges for sponsors to be matched up with an underprivileged child in one of the poorer underdeveloped countries.The idea is that you essentially take a child under your wing and act almost like a fairy godmother or father until he or she attains adulthood and can stand on his or her own two feet.

To a large extent，this is a pretty accurate impression.New sponsors are matched with individual children and can typically choose which country，which sex and which

age group they would prefer.They then exchange photos and letters on a regular basis.This obviously helps the sponsors to see at first-hand how their donations are benefiting the children.

The sponsorship itself costs approximately ￡15 per month and many donators choose to sponsor more than one child at once.One common wrong impression about these regular donations is that they go direct to the child’s parents or guardian in order to pay for essentials such as food or education.In reality，some of the longest established child sponsorship charities have found that this is largely ineffective and can cause anger among other children in the community who might not be so fortunate.

Instead，some of the largest charities prefer to pool total donations and carry out larger schemes to assist the whole community.Nor are all the funds diverted(分配使用) towards obvious short-term relief like providing food，water and basic healthcare.There is a strong emphasis on self-help and pers onal development so that future generations will be self-sustaining and not so reliant on outside assistance.To this end，sponsors will often find their donations finding their way into things like training courses to teach teenagers how to farm，small grants(补助金) for business start-ups and introducing the concept of village-based savings and loan organizations.

There is no doubt that the top sponsorship charities have been active for so long in many countries that they are now taking a leading role in aiding the overall welfare of children and ensuring that they are not exposed to discrimination and abuse.

Ⅱ.6.A [句意为：从长远来看，人格是个人生活的决定因素，对国家也是如此。in the long term从长远来看；on the other hand另一方面；in the meanwhile同时；as a result结果。故选A。]

7．A [考查非谓语动词。句意为：我们很遗憾地告诉你，你的申请被拒绝了。regret to do sth.很遗憾要做某事；inform sb. that...通知某人……。故A项正确。]

8．C [句意为：保罗是一个很招人喜欢的男孩，但他不注意自己的行为。pay no attention to his behavior指的是他的习惯性行为，故C项正确。]

9．C [join...to...将……与……连起来。根据句意可知，一座小桥将这个岛和大陆连在一起，因此the island作主语时，用过去分词短语作后置定语，表被动含义，故C项正确。] 10．B [句意为：是农民为我们提供粮食，但有些城里人却瞧不起(look down upon)他们。look forward to期盼；look back upon回顾；look up to尊敬，均不符合句意。]
