21、The Price of a Dream
I grew up poor. We had little money, but plenty of love and attention. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could still afford a dream. My dream was athletics.
By the time I was sixteen, I was good at baseball and football. My high school coach was Ollie Jarvis. He not only believed in me, but taught me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction (信念).
One summer a friend recommended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket — cash for dates with girls, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing. I was afraid of this, but my mother said, “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.”
When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as mad as I expected him to be. “Your playing days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them,” he said.
I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why I dream of buying my mom a house.
“How much are you going to make at this job, son?” he demanded.
“Three point twenty-five an hour,” I replied.
“Well,” he asked, “is $3. 25 an hour the price of a dream?”
That question exposed the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to sports that summer, and within the year I was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play rookie-league ball, and offered a $20, 000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $1.7 million, and bought my mother my dream house.
【1】Why was the writer grateful to Coach Jarvis?
A.Because Coach Jarvis made him set a goal.
B.Because Coach Jarvis supplied him with new clothes.
C.Because Coach Jarvis gave him financial support.
D.Because Coach Jarvis helped him show conviction.

【3】Which of the following can replace the underlined part “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.” in paragraph 4?
A.You must eat the bitter fruit of your own making.
B.Believe in yourself, but above all be patient.
C.You must rely on yourself first, then others.
D.A good beginning makes a good ending.
【4】What did the writer do at the end of the story?
A.He failed to buy his mother a house.
B.He succeeded as a sportsman.
C.He became a successful businessman.
D.He made some money in the summer job.
22、 Cassandra Warren was in a rush and feeling a little overwhelmed with work and planning her wedding. As she was preparing invitations for her wedding in the mail one day last year, she hurriedly addressed one to her aunt and uncle in Eugene, Oregon, about 20 minutes from where she lived.
A week later, the invitation came back. She had mistakenly written down the wrong address.
A handwritten note was written on the return envelope: “I wish I knew you---this is going to be a big event. Congratulations --- go and have dinner on me. I’ve been married for 40 years --- it gets better with age.” A $20 bill was put inside.
Cassandra was at a bit of a professional crossroads and had been having a tough day. In fact, she’d been complaining to her then-fiancé(未婚夫), Jesse Jones, about her frustrations just as she opened the misdirected envelope. Then she read the note.
“It was kind of perfect timing,” says Cassandra, who works as a nanny. “I was really grateful for it.
And the magic envelope wasn’t finished with its surprises. Cassandra looked closer and saw that the person had written “Live long and prosper” on the envelope, a nod to Star Trek(《星际迷航》).
“We' re kind of Star Trek fans,” she says.
Cassandra, 26,and Jesse, 24, have no idea who the mystery note writer is. But they figure the Star Trek reference was because the person noticed the corner of their invitation, which had both a Star Wars light sword and a Harry Potter wand(魔杖).
“She assumed we’d understand her message ,” Cassandra says. “Which we did.”
Cassandra and Jesse who is a counselor for families with autistic (患自闭症的) children- went out to dinner the following night with a friend who was going overseas with the military. They happily put the $20 toward their bill.
Then Cassandra stopped by a store and bought another card---a thank-you card. She wrote her aunt and uncle’s incorrect address on the envelope again---this time on purpose---and addressed it to “Kind Stranger”.
Inside, she wrote, “Thank you for the note and taking the time to send it. Not many people would have done that. It was a big blessing after the day I was having. I am thankful for people like you still being in the world. ” Don't miss other real-life acts of kindness like this one that will warm your heart.

24、 Most of my life I had lived in a Black and Latino community. Neither of my parents had made it past middle school and I was the first in my family to ever set foot on a college campus. By contrast, most of my peers came from generations of college educated family and had grown up in rich, white suburbs. Instead of sharing with others how I was feeling, I isolated myself and thought I could get through it if I just focused on studying. During the weeks leading up to my sophomore year winter break, I finally decided I would drop out. Fortunately, that wasn’t the end of the story. I found strength and guidance to continue through to graduation.
Counseling(咨询) provided me a space to release and process my emotions. My counselor provided me books and other resources to understand what I was experiencing and she helped me feel empowered.
Volunteering with a campus organization that guided children in Chicago housing projects provided me a consistent reminder for why I was in college. My interactions with students who reminded me so much of my own friends back home inspired me to commit to working for access to higher education for low-income youth. I also got involved with a summer urban internship(实习生) program, where I cooperated with a group of student leaders to start a conference to dialogue about issues of race and class.
Knowledge is empowering. I read books and intentionally chose courses to learn more about topics related to immigration, race, social class and urban education. These courses and books helped me gain a much deeper understanding of my own racial experiences of oppression(压制). Most importantly, I was empowered with the knowledge I needed to work against injustice and inequality.
【1】Why did the author decide to drop out in the second college year?
A.He found it hard to concentrate on study.

【2】The following helped the author feel empowered EXCEPT _______?
A.Gaining knowledge from books and courses.
B.Volunteering in programs and interacting with people.
C.Cooperating with his own friends back home in programs.
D.Counseling for mental support and professional guidance.
【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.An urban internship program is a must for college students.
B.The author gradually figure out the purpose of college study.
C.The counselors provided professional guidance on the issues of race.
D.Starting a conference is the only way to word against injustice and inequality.
