18．My father often talks about his definition of success．He tells us that it isn't measured in money or material things，but in love and joy．While my brothers and I were all raised together under the same roof，I wonder how different we can be sometimes．Four kids，four different life paths，personalities and ambitions．
We must follow a different path to let our light shine，and that's what makes us so unpredictable and unique．In today's world，expecting every child's education to be the same，progress at the same rate and be measured against the narrow standards of performances is not just outdated，it's also harmful to young people．
I experienced this disconnect（脱节） firsthand after graduating from college．I had many opportunities in front of me，but they didn't test my limits and my creativity to pursue my passions．At first，I took a job at a big consulting firm．However，I couldn't shake my passion for music．I had followed the somewhat predictable path of a college graduate，but I was crazy about how to become an artist．Now I am a nine-time Grammy Awards winner who has sold multiple Top 10Albums．
Imagine what it would look like if our schools were set up to help people discover and pursue a personal passion instead of a predictable path？The good news is that a number of individuals and organizations are finding new ways to innovate in education．The goal is to create more student-centered environments that help young people not just do better in school but also discover what they love．
We can't live lives of joy if we can't discover what we love doing with our lives．So let each person discover the power and uniqueness of his or her own passion．

45．What does the writer's father think success should be measured in？A
A．Pleasure．B．Ability．C．Wealth．D．Fame．
46．We can infer that the writerD．
A．is devoted to reforming the education system
B．pursued his passions once he left college
C．realized his dream before his graduation
D．finally became an outstanding singer
47．Which of the following is the best title for the passage？B
A．Where there is a will，there is a way．
B．Let every child's light shine．9
C．All that glitters is not gold．
D．Let bygones be bygones．

分析本文讲述作者的父亲认为不应该用金钱和物质来衡量成功，要用爱来快乐，我们都与众不同的，有自己的个性和理想，这深深影响了作者的生活

解答 45．A 考查细节理解题．根据第一段提到He tells us that it isn't measured in money or material things，but in love and joy．父亲告诉我们不要用金钱和物质来衡量成功，用爱和快乐，故选A项．
46．D 考查推理判断题．根据第三段提到Now I am a nine-time Grammy Awards winner who has sold multiple Top 10 Albums．现在我是格莱美的获奖者，唱片已经卖到前十名，故选D项．
47．B 考查主旨标题．本文讲述作者的父亲认为不应该用金钱和物质来衡量成功，要用爱来快乐，我们都与众不同的，有自己的个性和理想，这深深影响了作者的生活，A项"Where there is a will，there is a way"有志者，事竟成．B项"Let every child's light shine"抓住每个孩子的闪光点C项"All that glitters is not gold"闪闪发光物，未必尽黄金．D项"Let bygones be bygones"过去的就让它过去吧．故选B项．

13．Having a tattoo（纹身） can reduce your chance of getting a job，but it depends on where the tattoo is，what it expresses and if the job involves dealing with customers，new research says．
Dr Andrew R Timming told the British Sociological Association conference on work，employment and society in Warwick today that employers were likely to view tattoos negatively．Dr Timming of the school of Management at the University of St Andrews said he had spoken to 15managers involved in hiring staff about their reaction to interview candidates with visible tattoos．
"Most respondents agreed that visible tattoos are a stigma，"Dr Timming told the conference．One woman manager told him that"they make a person look dirty．"Another male manager told him"subconsciously that would stop me from employing them．"The managers were concerned about what their organisations'customers might think，said Dr Timming．"Hiring managers realise that，ultimately，it does not matter what they think of tattoos--what really matters，instead，is how customers might think of employees with visible tattoos．
Dr Timming said："The one qualification to this argument is there are certain industries in which tattoos may be a desirable characteristic in a job interview．For example，an HR manager at a prison noted that tattoos on guards can be'something to talk about'and'an in'that you need to make a connection with the prisoners．"
The negative attitude to tattoos did not extend to ones that could be easily covered by clothing．Dr Timming also found that in some of the organisations it was only certain types of tattoos that diminished the chances of getting a job at interview．One male manager told him："If it's gang culture-related you may have a different view about the tattoo than if it's just because it's a nice drawing of an animal that they've done on their arm．"

45．Why do managers really refuse to hire a person with tattoos？B
A．They don't like tattoos themselves．
B．Tattoos can turn customers away．
C．People with tattoos don't obey the rules．
D．People with tattoos are gang members．
46．A person with tattoos can probably work asC．
A．a doorkeeper
B．a salesman
C．a prison guard
D．a manager
47．Who would be most likely to be turned down by employers？C
A．A person who has his tattoos covered．
B．A person who has tattoos of an animal．
C．A person with a gang culture-related tattoo．
D．A person with a drawing of flowers on his arms．
48．We can infer from the last paragraph thatA．
A．not all tattoos reduce one's chance if employment．
B．some tattoos are helpful to a job interviewee．
C．it's no use covering one's tattoos．
D．tattoos are hard to hide．
