16.Doug Nordquist was a high jumper,who trained for years to make the Olympic team.In the 1984Olympics,he jumped his best ever-seven feet,six inches.But he didn't win a gold medal.He came in fifth place.
"I came away from there feeling like a winner,"says Doug Nordquist.
Doug thinks being a winner doesn't mean coming in first.It means doing your personal best.Sometimes he earned gold and silver medals.Sometimes he got fifth place.As long as he has done his best,Doug feels good about himself.Though he wants to take home a gold,silver,or bronze medal,he knows he's always a winner,no matter what happens.
Doug thinks about his other job-teaching high school band-the same way.He believes that"if you put yourself into your work,you can accomplish whatever you want."One of his students explains,"Mr.Nordquist says,‘think higher and you can reach it.'"
His students have won many awards in Los Angeles and Orange County band competitions.But he reminds them"it's not the awards that are as important as all the things we do to get there."The students are winners because they've learned to play their instruments and work with one another the best that they can.

2以约120个词谈谈你对参加比赛是不是为了得金牌的想法,内容包括:

10.It was graduation day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation I attended as a young professor.On that cold day years ago,as we watched the students walking into the hall,one of my colleagues turned to me and said,"Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest time of your life."At my inquiry,he answered,"Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave."
As years went by,my previous confusion about my colleague's words no longer existed.When I came across naughty students,I have had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher.It obviously isn't the money.Once a former computer science student of mine called me,asking me if I wanted to have a change.He was working at Nintendo Corporation.His salary was higher than my current one,though I have more education and have worked for over a decade.With my programming skills,he said he could get me hired.I thanked him,but declined his kind offer.
A few days before this current graduation,while working on final grades,I found a note a student had slipped in with her homework.She thanked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class-not about math,but about life-would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away.As I finished reading,I remembered why I had become a teacher.
Now,on this sunny graduation day,as I again observed the sea of  blue hats and gowns,I did so with renewed dedication (奉献) and a deeper sense of satisfaction-I will always be grateful that I am a teacher.

60.Hearing his colleague's description of graduation for the first time,the authorC.
A.quite agreed with his colleague        B.thought it very funny
C.was very puzzled                       D.was very sad.
61.The computer science student called up the author because heB.
A.wanted to inform the author of his present job
B.tried to persuade the author to work with him
C.wanted the author to share his joy and satisfaction
D.thought the author wasn't fit to be a teacher
62.The underlined part  blue hats and gowns refers toC.
A.university colleagues      B.life memories
C.graduates'clothes          D.decorations in the hall
63.The author wrote this passage toA.
A.express his devotion to being a teacher
B.compare two different graduation ceremonies
C.talk about the meaning of graduation
D.give advice on how to be a good teacher
64.The reason why he earns less than the computer science student is thatD.
A.he was only a young professor
B.he didn't do well in his work
C.he taught his students more about life than math
D.salaries for different careers are different.

17.Women are still underrepresented in top academic positions.One of the possible explanations for this is the increasing importance of obtaining research funding.Women are often less successful in this than men.Psychology researchers Dr.Romy van der Lee and professor Naomi Ellemers investigated whether this difference also occurs at the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) and examined potential explanations.
The researchers were assigned by NWO to carry out this study as part of the broader evaluation of NWO's procedures and its gender diversity policy.The aim was to gain more insight into the causes of the differences in awarding rates for male and female applicants for research funding.The analysis addressed an important"talent programme"of NWO,the Veni grant."Whoever receives this grant has a greater chance of obtaining an important appointment at a university,"says Naomi Ellemers.
Van der Lee and Ellemers investigated all the applications submitted by male and female researchers over a period of three years:a total of 2823applications.Under the direction of NWO these applications were assessed by scientific committees consisting of men and women.The results demonstrate that the awarding rates for female applicants (14.9%) are systematically lower than those for male applicants (17.7%)."If we compare the proportion of women among the applicants with the proportion of women among those awarded funding,we see a loss of 4%,"said Ellemers.
The study reveals that women are less positively evaluated for their qualities as researcher than men are."Interestingly the research proposals of women and men are evaluated equally positively.In other words,the reviewers see no difference in the quality of the proposals that men and women submit,"says Romy van der Lee.
In search for a possible cause for the differences in awarding rates and evaluations,the researchers also investigated the language use in the instructions and forms used to assess the quality of applications.This clearly revealed the occurrence of gendered language.The words that are used to indicate quality are frequently words that were established in previous research as referring mainly to the male gender stereotype (such as challenging and excellent).Romy van der Lee explains:"As a result,it appears that men more easily satisfy the assessment criteria,because these better fit the characteristics stereotypically associated with men."
In response to the results of this research,NWO will devote more attention to the gender awareness of reviewers in its methods and procedures.It will also be investigated which changes to the assessment procedures and criteria can most strongly contribute to more equal chances for men and women to obtain research funding.This will include an examination of the language used by NWO.NWO chair Jos Engelens said,"The research has yielded valuable results and insights.Based on the recommendations made by the researchers we will therefore focus in the coming period on the development of evidence-based measures to reduce the difference in awarding rates."

74.Van der Lee and Ellemers carried out the research to find out whetherB.
A.women are less successful than men in top academic positions
B.female applicants are at a disadvantage in getting research funding
C.NOW's procedures and gender diversity policy enhance fair play
D.there are equal chances for men and women to be admitted to a university
75.Van der Lee and Ellemers'study shows thatC.
A.grant receivers were more likely to get appointments at universities
B.men applicants for research funding outnumbered women applicants
C.the research proposals of women are equally treated with those of men
D.the reviewers have narrow,prejudiced conceptions of women candidates
76.What might be the main cause for the differences in awarding rates and evaluations?A
A.The words used in the instructions and forms.
B.The reviewers'preference to applications.
C.The methods and procedures for evaluation.
D.The vague and unclear assessment criteria.
77.What will NWO probably do next in response to the results of this research?D
A.Eliminate possibilities for difference in awarding rates.
B.Design a language examination for all the reviewers.
C.Emphasize the importance of gender awareness.
D.Improve the assessment procedures and criteria.

16.Back in the fifteenth century,in a tiny village near Nuremberg,lived a family with eighteen children.Eighteen!In order merely to keep food on the table for this mob,the father worked almost eighteen hours a day at his trade and any other paying chore(零工) he could find in the neighborhood.Despite their seemingly hopeless condition,two of the children had a dream that they both wanted to pursue their talent for art,but they knew full well that their father would never be financially able to send either of them to Nuremberg to study at the Academy.
The two boys finally decided to toss a coin.The loser would go down into the nearby mines and,with his earnings,support his brother while he attended the academy.Albrecht Durer won the toss and went off to Nuremberg.Albert went down into the dangerous mines and,for the next four years,financed his brother,whose work at the academy was almost an immediate sensation(引起轰动的人).Albrecht's oils were far better than those of most of his professors.
Returning to his village,Albrecht said,"Now it is your turn to pursue your dream,and I will take care of you."Tears streaming down his pale face,Albert said softly"No!It is too late for me.Look what four years in the mines has done to my hands!The bones in every finger have been smashed at least once,and lately I have been suffering from arthritis(关节炎) so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a glass."
To thank Albert for all that he had sacrificed,Albrecht Durer painstakingly drew his brother's hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched skyward.He called it"Hands,"but the entire world almost immediately opened their hearts to his great masterpiece and renamed it"The Praying Hands."
