W: Hello, Tod! How’s it going recently?
M: Hi, Julia! Nice to see you here. I just want to discuss something with you. You know we’re both teachers, and teachers are the people whose job is to give grades, praise and stuff like that.(6)Do you feel maybe we put too much effort on judging everybody and that maybe it’s OK for kids to realize failure is not really a bad thing or maybe quitting is not a bad thing?
W: Absolutely. Yeah, I think, I think all the emphasis should be put on the effort that people make and yeah, the failing or success is kind of secondary to that.
M: Because it does seem that we push kids at all levels to get good grades, go to college, get that good job and that, that usually works out but in a lot of cases people find success because they fail, because they don’t do well and that leads them to something else in life. So I guess, I’m not saying don’t try, just quit everything, but that we have to just accept that actually maybe quitting is not such a bad thing.
W: No, I don’t think it is. I was lucky. I was given very good advice at school and I wasn’t pushed to get good grades, I wasn’t pushed to pursue a career.(7)The advice I was given was do what I enjoy doing because they’re the things I’ll be good at.
M: Yeah.
W: And that was great advice. I don’t have a career but I’m happy.
M:(8)There was a great quote the other day by someone in the paper about starting your own business and the person said, you know, follow your passion and keep at it and the money will follow. I think that’s pretty much the case for a lot of people that, you know, that they find success.
W: There’s other famous quotes about doing what makes you come alive. Don’t ask what the world needs, ask what makes you come alive because the world needs people who’ve come alive, meaning like pursuing your passion and that will lead to success, whatever success means.(9)It’s the way we define success as well it is also part of the problem.
M: True, true.
W: You know, high income, is that success? And in my book that’s not what success is. Success is happiness.
M: So what is happiness?
W:(10)Happiness is just contentment, absolute peace with the way you are right now and what you’re doing right now. Not striving or yearning for things that are beyond your grasp.
M: Beyond your reach?
W: Yeah.
M: Yeah, that’s good.
6. What should teachers do according to Tod?
7. What advice did Julia get at school?
8. What does the quote mentioned by Tod say?
9. Which of the following is also part of the problem according to Julia?
10. How does Julia define happiness?
选项
A、Listen to others’ advice.
B、Stick to your own mind.
C、Be careful to start your career.
D、Try your best to earn money.
答案
B
解析
本题考查事实。由句(8)可知,Tod看到报纸上的一条引语提到,开始你自己的事业,跟随着自己的激情走,并且保持这份激情,那么金钱自然就会随之而来。由此可知,坚持自己的想法是引语的关键,故B为答案。
