18．（12.5分）In the fall of 1985．I was a bright﹣eyed ghl heading off to Howard University，aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere．Twenty﹣one years later I am later I am still a bright﹣eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell．
My grandma，an amazing woman，graduated from college an the age of 65．She was the first in our family to reach that goal．But one year after I started college，she developed cancer．I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her．It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait．
Then I got married with another dream：building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children．In 1999，we adopted our first son．To lay eyes on him was fantastic﹣﹣﹣and very emotional．A year later came our second adopted boy．Then followed son No.3．In 2003，I gave birth to another boy．
You can imagine how fully occupied I became，raising four boys under the age of 81．Our home was a complete zoo﹣﹣﹣a joyous zoo．Not surprising，I never did make it back to college full﹣time．But I never gave up on the dream either．I had only one choice：to find a way．That meant talking as few as one class each semester．
The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys．They often wanted me to stay home with them．There certainly were times I wanted to quit，But I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives．
In 2007，I graduated from the University of North Carolina．It took me over 21years to get my college degree！
I am not special，just single﹣minded．It always struck me that when you're looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge，but when you're in the midst of it，it just seems normal．Everything you want won't arrive in your life on one day．It's a process．Remember；little steps add up to big dreams．

19．（12.5分）An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond．The concept is simple：help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same tome．
In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit （追求） to be enjoyed by all，the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus，as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools．The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched （发起）the"If All of Seattle Read the Same Book"project in 1998．Her original program used author visits，study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book，but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities，and even to Hong kong．
In Chicago，the mayor（市长）appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the"One Book，One Chicago"program．As a result，reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city．Across the US，stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character．
The only problem arose in New York，where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population．This may show that the idea works best in medium﹣sized cities or large towns，where a greater sense of unity（一致）can be achieved．Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point，putting all their energy
And passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself．
Ultinatel was Nancy points out，the level of sucicess is not meastured by how many people read a book，but by how many people are enriched by the process．or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word．

46．What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy？　 　
A．To invite authors to guide readers．
B．To encourage people to read and share．
C．To involve people in communnity service．
D．To promote the friendship between cities．
47．Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the projict？　 　
A．They had little interest in reading．
B．They were too busy to read a book．
C．They came from many different backgrounds
D．They lacked support from the locat government
48．According to the passage，where would the project be more easily carried out？　 　
A．In large communities with little sense of unity
B．In large cities where libraries are far from home
C．In medium﹣sized cities with a diverse population
D．In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached
49．The underlined words"shared a word"in Paragraph 5probably mean　 　
A．exchanged ideas with each other
B．discussed the meaning of a word
C．gamed life experience
D．used the same language
50．According to Nacy，the degree of students of the project is judged by　 　
A．the careful selection of a proper book
B．the growing popularity of the writers
C．the number of people who benefit from reading．
D．the number of books that each person reads．
20．（12.5分）Blind imitation （模仿）is self﹣destruction．To those who do not recognize their unique worth．Imitation appears attractive：to those who know their strenghth．Imitation is unacceptable．
In the early stages of skill or character development，imitation is helpful．When I first learned to cook，I used recipes （菜谱） and turned out some tasty dishes．But soon I grew bored．Why follow someone else's way of cooking when I could create my own？Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child's bicycle； they help you get going，but once you find your own balance，you fly faster and farther without relying on them．
In daily life，imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously （下意识地） hold poor role models．If，as a child，you observed people whose lives were bad，you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did．If you do not make strong choices for yourself，you will get the results of the weak choices of others．
In the field of entertainment，our culture glorifies celebrities．Those stars look great on screen．But when they step off screen，their personal lives may be disastrous．If you are going to follow someone，focus on their talent，not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors．
Blessed is the person willin
