Unit 5 Nelson Mandela-a modern heroⅠ.阅读理解(2018·浙江)I start every summer with the best of intentions:to attack one big book from the past,a classic that I was supposed to have read when young and ambitious.Often the pairings of books and settings have been purely accidental:“Moby Dick” on a three-day cross-country train trip;“The Magic Mountain” in a New England beachside cottage with no locks on the doors,no telephones or televisions in the rooms,andlittle to do beyond row on the salt pond.Attempting “The Man Without Qualities” on a return to Hawaii,my native state,however,was less fruitful:I made it through one and a quarter volumes (册),then decided that I’d got the point and went swimming instead.But this summer I find myself at a loss.I’m not quite interested inBalzac,say,or “Tristram Shandy.” There’s always “War and Peace,” which I’ve covered some distance several times,only to get bogged down in the “War” part,setit aside for a while,and realize that I have to start over from the beginningagain,having forgotten everyone’s name and social rank.How appealing to simply fall back on a favorite —once more into “The Waves” or “Justine,” which feels almost like cheating,too exciting and too much fun to properly belong in seriousliterature.And then there’s Stendhal’s “The Red and the Black,” which happens to be the name of my favorite cocktail(鸡尾酒) of the summer,created by Michael Cecconi at Savoy and Back Forty.It is easy to drink,and knocking back three or four seems like such a delightful idea.Cecconi’s theory:“I take whatever’s fresh at the greenmarket and turn it into liquid.” The result is a pure shot of afternoon in the park,making one feel cheerful and peaceful all at once,lying on uncut grass with eyes shut,sun beating through the lids...【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。

It can be even scarier when you’re a young little blue penguin(企鹅)—the tiniest of the penguin species. Luckily, there are some humanswilling to help. They stepped in to protect Billy, a blue penguin thatappeared on a beach in Christchurch, New Zealand.Spotted on November 29 at the slipway at Moncks Bay, near Sumner, in Christchurch, the little penguin immediately attracted a small crowd. Jeff Mein Smith saw the crowd while he was bicycling that afternoon, and he biked home to get his camera. When he returned to the scene, he found that the penguin had received a little sign, one that read “Hi, I’m waiting for my mum to come back. DOC(Department of Conservation) knows I’m here. Please leave me alone. Keep your dog away. Thanks. Billy—the baby blue penguin.”Billy didn’t move away from the sign. The DOC arrived later that afternoon to pick up Billy, though they were surprised to see it on the beach. “It’s unusual for a blue penguin to be out in the open on the beach during the day，”Anita Spencer, a DOC senior ranger, told Stuff.Billy was taken to the Christchurch Penguin Rehabilitation Center after being retrieved from the beach. Volunteers believe the bird may actually be a female penguin, and is around 2 months old. The chick weighs a mere 550 grams, less than a standard basketball. A blue penguin should weigh around 900 grams at this age. Most little penguins grow up to weigh 1 kilogram.The center will help the little penguin gain some weight by feeding it fish juice, before it’s set free into the ocean.4．Why can the world be frightening to a young penguin?A．It is a rare species.B．It faces potential danger.C．It is surrounded by the crowd.D．It is threatened by dogs.5．It can be inferred from the text that Billy________．A．is a female penguinB．has expressed its thanksC．weighs less for its ageD．prefers living on the beach6．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “retrieved”in paragraph 4?A．Ignored.B．Cured.C．Given away. D．Brought back.7．What will happen to Billy in the center?A．It will be reported to Stuff.B．It will be visited by the locals.C．It will be taken good care of.D．It will be fed with fruit juice.C(2019·东北三省四市二模)You can’t see your sleeping pet’s brain waves, but its behavior can tell you when your cat might be dreaming. If you watch closely, you’ll see that as she falls asleep, her breathing becomes slow and regular with her body still. She has entered the first stage of sleep, called slowwave sleep. After about 15 minutes you’ll notice a change in her breathing. Her eyes move under her closed lids, her paws twitch(抽动) and she flicks(轻拂) an ear. She has entered dreaming. Although she twitches and makes little grunting noises, messages from her brain to the large muscles in her legs are blocked, so she can’t run about. She is in a state of “sleep paralysis(麻痹)”．Michel Jouvet, a French scientist, interrupted their sleep paralysis. Even though they were completely asleep, the dreaming cats began to run for balls that Jouvet couldn’t see and arched their backs at unseen enemies. He figured he was watching them act out their dreams! Obviously, the dreaming cats seemed to be practising important cat skills: following, pouncing, and fighting.In another study, Matt Wilson recorded rats’brain waves while they learned mazes. One day, her left the brainwaverecording machine on while the rats fell asleep. The pattern of brain waves in the sleeping rats matched the pattern from the maze so closely that Wilson could figure out exactly which part of the maze each rat was dreaming about!Many researchers now think that in both people and animals, one purpose of dreams is topractise important skills and figure out recent learning. This may explain why so many people dream about fighting and escaping, skills that were probably important to our ancestors, and why dreaming affects our ability to learn.Do all animals dream? From looking at the brain waves of sleeping animals, how often animals dream seems to be tied to body size. Cats dream about every 15 minutes, mice every 9 minutes, and elephants every 2 hours. And though cows and horses usually sleep standing up, they only dream when lying down.8．What does Michel Jouvet find in his study?A．The dreaming cats are in a state of body paralysis.B．The dreaming cats often practise their important skills.C．The eyes of dreaming cats move while bodies are still.D．The legs of the dreaming cats can’t move.9．What can you know about dreaming from the passage?A．Dreaming a lot can help humans learn more.B．Learning mazes is the basic skill for cats to learn.C．Rats often dream to work out their recent learning.D．Fighting and escaping are not important skills for ancestors.10．Which animal may dream most frequently?A．Rats.B．Dogs.C．Cows. D．Elephants.11．How does the author develop his passage?A．By making comparisons. B．By using figures.C．By telling stories. D．By showing facts.D(2019·福建泉州质量检测)Skyscrapers are the symbol of urban life. Citypeople are used to seeing tall buildings and apartments. Farms, on the otherhand, are associated with rural(农村的) life. However, there are experts whothink skyscrapers should become farms to meet the increasing food needs.By the middle of this century, some scientists suggest, almost 80% of the Earth’s population could live in cities. In addition, the population could increase to 9.1 billion during that time yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same. If current farming practices don’t change, we will need an area of new land to produce enough food for the planet.Vertical farms, where urban farmers could grow crops in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make it a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops.Vertical farms would have many advantages, supporters say. Unlike traditional farming, verticalfarming could be free of chemicals and diseases. Besides, crops would not suffer from problems like flooding. Finally, vertical farms would reduce the cost and negative effects of transporting food over long distances.Some argue that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during the day, it wouldn’t be enough. For this reason, vertical farms would need additional light sources(来源), such as artificial light.Another way of growing fresh food is to build urban farms on rooftops. This more practical approach may be more achievable than the idea of farms in skyscrapers, researchers suggest. Experts agree that innovative(革新的) farming practices are needed to support the need for more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer, but the best ideas have yet to come.12．What primary problem could vertical farming settle?A．Poor state of rural life.B．Shortage of food supply.C．High cost of transporting crops.D．Environmental pollution by traditional farming.13．What is the advantage of vertical farming?A．It can produce organic food.B．It requires little care.C．It can benefit transport industry.D．It needs very low cost.14．What is a big challenge of making vertical farming a reality?A．Farmable land.B．Crop diseases.C．Light sources. D．Climate conditions.15．What can be the best title of the text?A．Future Food Needs B．Symbol of Urban LifeC．Farming on Rooftops D．Farms of the Future第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

When the West Point Glass Factory wasoperating during the Civil War, trees for miles a round were cleared to provide firewood. Walking out of the forest,you will find a large mass of native hard rock about three billion years old.Throughout this country path, you will find picture boards identifying birds and plants local to this region. You will also find signs with historical and environmental information written by area specialists.When you take a walk through this“ undiscover ed” forest land,please be a considerate guest.●B efore walking along the trail, please purchase a pass in the Carriage House.Plan ahead, so you will be back by closing time.●Follow the trail markers and remain on the trail.Besides protecting the fragile forest ecosystem, you will reduce the risk of getting hurt by poisonous plants andsnakes.●Leave rocks, plants, animals and artworks where you see them so that the person behind you can have the same experience.●Carry out whatever you carry in because there are no rubbish containers on the trail.

Instead, they preferred to hear the question answered in this way：“ Africa is the cradle of humankind”and “Africans are passionate and generous ”．Apparently, there are some misunderstandings between us. It ’ s true that with incidents like the Ebola outbreak in West Africa and the emergence( 出现 ) of pirates off the coast of Somalia hitting the news, it ’ s easy for us to keep forgetting thatAfrica has one of the world ’s oldest civilizations — Egypt, born by the world ’s longest river, the Nile. The proof is in the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Great Sphinx ofGiza, which are both popular among tourists. And the tombs of ancient Egypt have also become endless sources for the literature and film industries.When it comes to the natural environment of Africa, our misunderstandings areonly bigger. But the truth is that instead of being extremely hot all year round andcovered by desert, the continent has large areas of savannas( 稀树草原 ) where lions, giraffes and zebras live, the snow- capped Kilimanjaro —the highest mountain in Africa — and even thick forest on the island of Madagascar. These misunderstandings are one of the reasons why the 2018 Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperationwas held on Sept. 3 and 4 — to understand each other better.Indeed, only by visiting Africa herself did Huang see the convenient livingconditions, the amazing natural beauty and the friendly people. In her eyes, herclassmates were as hopeful about the future of their own countries as they were about Africa as a whole, and they were quick to demonstrate both their strong will andactivity.“ At that moment, I knew exactly what they wanted — they wanted their culture to be respected.”4．Which of the following best explains the underlined“cradle” in paragraph2?A．A small bed for babies.B．A basket to hold something.C．A place for people to relax themselves.D．A place where something important began.5．What can we infer about Africa according to the passage?A．It is very hot all year round.B．It ’ s not a safe continent to live on.C．It ’ s different from what we imagine.D．It is bound to have a bright future.6．Which of the following would Huang agree with?A．To see is to believe.B．Think twice before you do.C．A miss is as good as a mile.D．Don’ t judge a person by his appearance.7．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Valuing a CultureB．Understanding AfricaC．Paying a Visit to AfricaD．Discovering a ContinentC(2019 ·合肥第一次质量检测)Have you ever heard of agritourismwhere you can experience the farm life?If not, Dr.CindyAyers-Elliott will tell you the real story of Food Print Farms.The original concept of building Food Print Farms was simple.When Ayers - Elliott returned to her hometown after graduation, she didn’ t have to look any further than her state’ s alarming health statistics to find a mission.Everywhere she turned, there were reports of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesityand heart disease.“The problem was already identified，” explains Ayers- Elliott. “ Too many Mississippians were seriously unhealthy and it didn’t take research to see that. And many of the state’ s greatest health challenges could directly resultfrom poor diet.”These days, Food Print Farms, which started with a few raised beds of herbs and vegetables, is making fresh, naturally grown fo od. “When speaking of the key to my success, the co - op model works because we share the work and rewards，” notes Ayers -Elliott. “ A perfect example is the Wingfield High School football team. To earn themoney for equipment and other items, players committed to working five hours aweek on the farm, and by the end of the summer they produced 1 ， 000 melons and the profits from their sales helped to buy weights, T - shirts, sweat suits and pregame meals. But the lessons they learned about the rewards of hard work and working together to accomplish something were even more valuable products of their e fforts. ”“It ’ s a model that can easily be learned in other places and I ’ m looking forward to seeing some of our current partners do just that — to take what they have learned here and spin it off in other communities ，” Ayers - Elliott remarks. She is now looking forward to developing an agritourism area to the farm, where visitors can experience the farm life, learn new skills and take with them seeds of inspiration they can sowin their own communities when they return home.8．What made Ayers - Elliott set up Food Print Farms?A．The problems faced by local farmers.B．Her further research into heart disease.C．The failure of her career after graduation.D．The health state of people in her hometown.9．Why does the author take the football team as an example?A．To advocate the concept of independence.B．To stress the importance of teamwork.C．To support the idea of co- op model.D．To explore the key to success.10． What is Ayers - Elliott’ s attitude towards the future of Food Print Farms?A．Optimistic.B．Skeptical.C．Cautious.D．Ambiguous.11． What is the main idea of the text?A．Naturally grown food benefits people’ s health.B．Food Print Farms is making a difference in Mississippi.C．Ayers - Elliott encourages people to experience the farm life.D．Agritourism is becoming increasingly popular in America.D(2019 ·武汉高三调研)Anxiety is a natural response that changed gradually over millions of years to make us more careful and our bodies prepared to flee danger.But feeling anxious because you hear a noise on a dark street isn’t the same thing as having an anxiety disorder.“The key thing we look for in the clinic is whetheranxiety is interfering(阻碍) with a person ’ s day- to - day life,or causing them a lot of unhappiness，” says Nick Grey of King’ s College London.To clinical psychologists like Grey,“ maladaptive(不适应的) beliefs” are typical in anxiety disorders and are often used to determine the type of anxietysomeone has. In social anxiety disorder,the most commonanxiety disorder,you might believe that your face turning red will result in people laughing at you. People with this type of disorder experience constant and great fear before, during and aftersocial events.If you have panic disorder, you might assume that you are having a heart attack if your heart starts to race. The physical symptoms of anxiety—a pounding heart,breathing difficulty, feeling dizzy—will then come on in a rush. Everyone canexperience such panic attacks from time to time, but in panic disorder the attacksare regular and become a source of anxiety themselves.Other“ maladaptive beliefs” are less specific. Generalized anxiety disorder is characterized by continuous worries about a range of different events or activities,for at least six months. If you have this condition, the belief driving your anxietycould, for example, be the feeling that it’ s your job to take care of other people,or that you have responsibilities that you must meet at all costs. To decide who torefer for further treatment, doctors might use a tool called the GAD- 7 test.12． Which of the following belongs to an anxiety disorder?A．Quarreling with parents.B．Getting to school earlier.C．Missing a lunch.D．Knocking on the wall.13． What is social anxiety characterized by?A．Continuous worries.B．Past experiences.C．Maladaptive beliefs.D．Frequent terrors.14． What will happen to you when you have panic disorder?A．You can ’ t stand steadily.B．Your face turns red.C．You can ’ t touch anything.D．Your hands feel numb.15． What anxiety disorder occurs more often than others?A．Generalized anxiety.B．Panic attacks.C．Social anxiety.D．Acute anxiety attacks.第二节 ( 共 5 小题；每题 2 分，满分10 分 )依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

A(2019·杭州诊断)In American countryside, the message we hear is this: Go and get an education. Leave your small town and make something of yourself. Success and opportunity are found elsewhere.After graduating from a high school in Helena, Arkansas, I did go.I went to Colby College in Maine. I had visited the school ahead of time, so I knew what I was getting myself into. I knew about the difference in weather. I understood the difference in social atmosphere. But I wanted to stretch myself and get out of my comfort zone. And you know what? I absolutely loved my time there. But one thing took me by surprise—the lack of countryside representation. Most of the other students at Colby were from big cities: New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco...And when I had conversations with these students—in or outside of class —we almost always focused on topics facing large American cities. In my education classes, it was always “urban this” and “urban that”．It was like small town America didn’t exist.And this urban interest doesn’t just happen in college. I went to an education conference a couple of years ago, and a professor—someone who had been at the forefront of educational reform—was there to deliver a keynote. I was chosen to be part of a small group that got to meet with him. So there we were, five or six of us sitting in a room, and I asked him, “What are your thoughts on the state of education in the countryside？” And this man was speechless.I’ll never forget that moment. It speaks to a larger truth. Towns like mine are forgotten.This trend of exporting talent and resources to our big cities—this mindset of leaving small towns and never coming back—I don’t want to add to that movement.I want to reverse that movement.Now it’s my turn to help people younger than me. And you know what? I’m a sixth grade teacher in Helena now.1．What do people in American countryside think of the future of the youth athome?A．Secure. B．Fragile.C．Promising.

In these cities, partners, like The Green Blue Institute and The Recycling Partnership, which receive the money, will work together to improve recycling rates.“We focus on areas where we have the ability to make the biggest influence on communities through the funding and expert skills of CocaCola employees，” Carlos Pagoaga, CocaCola’s group director of community partnerships, said in a statement. “In each city, local partners will work together to identify barriers to recycling on a local level and test a range of solutions，” he added. “We hope the learning from these ‘model markets’ can offer solutions to other cities facing similar challenges.”As part of the effort, The Recycling Partnership and the city of Atlanta, where the CocaCola company’s headquarters are based, will send street teams out to open recycling carts and leave citizens cards informing them what they can and can’t recycle, and let them know how their efforts work.“Two of the most urgent problems with recycling in the U．S. today are lack of access and the pollution in recycling，”Keefe Harrison, CEO of The Recycling Partnership, said in a statement. “We know from the success of Atlanta in 2017 thatthe citizens want to recycle, and that communicating with them in the street works.”Last year, CocaCola announced its task to collect and reuse a bottle or can for each one it sells, and increase the amount of its products out of recycled materials to 50% by 2030.

But they’re often poor listeners, and they don’t collaborate.”“On the other hand, introverts(性格内向者) work hard on a team because they care what others think of them. They don’t want to be seen as not pulling__their__weight or contributing 100%，” Bendersky says.“So while companies may be attracted to hiring extroverts because they impress managers greatly in job interviews, bosses also may want to consider whether the extrovert they are considering will be a valuable team player，” Bendersky says.Amy Jen Su and Muriel Maignan Wilkins, two writers, agree and say managers should recognize the strengths of introverted employees, such as their ability to put themselves in someone else’s shoes.“These team members are often easygoing, which can make them exceptional mentors to more junior staff or particularly good sounding boards when you interact with them in oneonone situations，” Su says.“Managers must try to help introverts find their voice，” Wilkins says. “Help them see that speaking up is not about selfpromotion or being in conflict but rather about offering the team key insights, making better decisions or increasing the efficiency for all.”What about those extroverts who never seem to be at a loss for words?

A(2019·浙江金丽衢十二校高三联考)Created by Casey and Shelley Black, the Northern Lights Wildlife Wolf Centre focuses on not only rescuing young abandoned wolves but educating the public. Unlike other centres, you can actually walk with the wolves and have exciting, handson interaction with them here. And so, we gathered on late winter morning to learn, prepare and walk.Scrappy and Flora, our wolves that day, were brought to the centre when only a few days old. “They lived in the house with us for the first several months. We treated them like human babies, fed them and slept with them，” said Shelley. So, they are totally used to people. However, these are wild animals. For that reason, Shelley and Casey explained, the walk is totally on the wolf’s terms. “We don’t approach them, but if they come up to us, we can touch them.”With all this in mind, we headed for the woods. We were walking on a logging road when suddenly, Flora, all 60 pounds of her, hurried up to me and raised up on her legs. She was almost as tall as me. As she leaned in, put her huge muddy paws on my shoulders and sniffed my face, apparently she was saying hello in wolf talk.We walked farther, maybe half a mile, while Scrappy and Flora dashed in and out of the woods stopping to occasionally roll in the snow, dig for this or that and just play. Then we all headed into the trees to a picturesque(美丽的) stream where the wolves splashed, drank and had a great time.One could point out that this whole adventure was staged(筹划) and quite artificial. But the purpose, Casey and Shelley said, is to explain the wolves’ place in the environment and, primarily, to let people know wolves d on’t have to be universally feared—they really don’t hide secretly in the woods just waiting to eat people, but they’d rather avoid people, for the most part.1．How is the Northern Lights Wildlife Wolf Centre different from others?A．It trains and educates wild wolves.B．It aims to rescue young abandoned wolves.C．It raises wolves for commercial purposes.D．It allows visitors to take a walk with wolves.2．Why did Flora behave like that when she saw the author on the logging road?A．To express curiosity.B．To show friendliness.C．To attract attention.D．To seek companionship.3．Why do Casey and Shelley organize such an adventure?A．To advertise the centre.B．To publicize wolf hunting.C．To promote environmental protection.D．To clarify some conventional views of wolves.BAustralian adults want to see “life skills” introduced intoschool curriculums, including money management, job preparationand domestic tasks. New research from Monash University showedAussie adults also widely supported the inclusion of technology, coding and artificial intelligence subjects in student curriculums to prepare them for future jobs.Coauthor Professor Neil Selwyn, from Monash’s new Education Futures think tank, said the survey results of more than 2，000 Australians had taken himself and Dr. Deana Leahy by surprise.“The life skills—I wasn’t expecting that at all，” he said. Those quizzed were asked to rate the value of a list of subjects already in the curriculum, but were also given an open space to write what they think should be included. Prof. Selwyn said people called for schools to teach financial skills, budgeting, cooking and doing taxes.“You could argue that these are things people should be learning themselves, or learning from their families，” he said.“But we’ve got to be thinking forward in terms of the skills people will need for jobs and their ways of living.”One respondent said schools should introduce a “contemporary life s kills” subject：“A compulsory 1hour a week class on skills needed that parents seem continually unable to teach their kids”. Suggestions for the class included resume writing, filing tax returns and health claims. Another respondent called for students to be taught “general life skills” as unfortunately not enough kids will have parents to actually be bothered to educate them or simply parents don’t know themselves.Of the subjects, maths was the highest ranked(75.5 percent), followed closelyby English(74.8 percent). And while science was the third highest ranked subject(46.2 percent), it was more strongly supported by those who earned higher wages and were universityeducated compared to lower income earners.Aspects of school life considered least important were students having fun, learning about things that interested them and being given the opportunity to be creative.4．Why did the adults suggest adding “life skills” to school curriculums?A．To vary school curriculums.B．To enrich s tudents’ school life.C．To prepare students for future work and life.D．To save parents the trouble of educating kids.5．What did Prof. Selwyn think of the adults’ suggestions?A．Reasonable. B．Ridiculous.C．Interesting. D．Impractical.6．What can we know from the text?A．The present curriculums are to adults’ taste.B．Contemporary life skills involve resume writing.C．Students’ interests have been greatly promoted.D．The parents quizzed think well of school life.CRich as a KingWilliam Ⅰ， who conquered England some 950 years ago, had wealth, power and an army. Yet although William was very rich by the standard of his time, he had nothing like a flush toilet(抽水马桶), paper towels, or a riding lawn mower(割草机). How did he get__by?History books are filled with wealthy people who were poor compared to me. I have storm windows, Croesus did not. Entire nations trembled before Alexander the Great, but he couldn’t buy cat food. Czar Nicholas lacked an electric saw.Given how much better off I am than so many famous dead people, you’d think I’d be content. The trouble is that, like most people, I compare my wealth with that of living persons: neighbors, school classmates, famous TV people. The greed I feel toward my friend Howard’s new kitchen is not reduced by the fact that no kings ever had a refrigerator with glass doors.There is really no rising or falling standard of living. Over the centuries peoplesimply find different things to feel sad about. You’d think that simply not having disease would put us in a good mood, but no, we want a hot bath too.Of course, one way to achieve happiness would be to realize that even by today’s standards the things I own are pretty nice. My house is smaller than the houses of many investment bankers, but even so it has a lot more rooms than my wife and I can keep clean.Besides, to people looking back at our era from a century or two in the future, these bankers’ fancy counter tops and my own worn Formica will seem equally shabby.I can’t keep up with my neighbors right now. But just wait.7．What does the underlined phrase “get by” in the first paragraph mean?A．Succeed as a king.B．Deal with complaints.C．Live in a satisfactory way.D．Get some extra money.8．How many historical figures are mentioned to compare lives in the past and present?A．3. B．4.C．5. D．6.9．According to the passage, the author intends to ________．A．tell us to be content with lifeB．warn us to live in a simple wayC．teach us to learn lessons from lifeD．encourage us to struggle for wealth10．What’s the author’s attitude towards life?A．Doubtful. B．Optimistic.C．Uncaring. D．Cautious.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

“阅读理解＋阅读七选五”提速练(二)(限时：30分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2017·安徽黄山二次质检)When I was young, I wished for a good car and a big house. That was my idea of success. I took all the advanced classes and tried to do well in the exams with my mind set on going to a key school. I just knew that I would somehow become famous and be able to afford the car and the dream house. All the way through junior years, my mind was planning this beautiful future.Then in the eleventh grade, many losses changed my mind. First, one of my friends died at 16. Soon after, my greatgrandmother passed away, followed by my beloved fourthgrade teacher. These events left me not knowing what to do or where to go. Death had never touched me so closely.After a long period of emptiness, it finally struck me: Life is not promised and neither is future success. Though I was attempting to achieve material success, I was not enjoying my daily life. I realized that finding inner peace, purpose and happiness will stick with me forever and that is real success.Enjoying life's precious quirks (偶发事件) makes an ordinary person more successful than a wealthy person who isn't content and takes everything for granted. The summer before senior years, my attitude changed greatly. Instead of memorizing facts, I began learning skills. Instead of focusing on the future, I focused on today and many blessings and successes that came with it.I still get excellent grades, but now I devote weeks to studying instead of struggling for exams, and I think about the future with a deeper sense of meaning. For me, being successful means truly living life each day.语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。
