克服了重重困难,从后进生一跃名列前茅,成为优秀生,并实现了自己的梦想,成为了一名医生。这一成功的事例说明:在教育子女上,父母才是最好的老师。
1.A 从下文可知,我小时候就开始有了信念。
2.C 接着指出是什么信念,梦想成为一名医生。
3.C 据母亲观察,成功人士花在阅读上的时间要比在看电视上多得多。
4.D 此处使用did 代替前文的spent, 避免重复。
5.A 由announced 得知,我和弟弟每周只能看三到四个预先挑选好的电视节目。
6.B 由上下文可知,母亲非常严厉。我们每人必须阅读从底特律公共图书馆借来的两本书,还要上交读书心得。present sth. to sb.把某物呈交给某人。
7.D 由My mother was illiterate.得知,此处是一个计谋。

16.A let alone更不用说;let out 使放出;let in 使进入;leave alone 不理会,不理睬。
17.C 通过这件事,我还意识到,一时的满足并不会给我带来什么成就,而成功需要智力上的准备。于是我又发奋努力学习。
18.B 最终我实现了自己当医生的梦想。fulfill 履行工作,完成任务,达到愿望。
