We go to school every day to become a better person. So how can we become powerful and start changes in our own life? Perhaps we can get tips from the US First Lady Michelle Obama. During her visit to China, from March 20–26, Mrs Obama shared her views on education with students.
The first lady encouraged Chinese students to aim high and get a good education. In Chengdu No. 7 High School, she told students that having poor roots doesn’t matter as long as you have perseverance (毅力).
Mrs Obama said her family was not rich. Like many Chinese students, her parents had big dreams for her. She felt the weight of her parents’ sacrifices (牺牲) on her shoulders and worked hard to make them proud.
Persevering was not easy, though. Sometimes she had to wake up at 4:30 a.m. and study late into the night. “But whenever I got tired or discouraged… I would remember something my mother always told me. She said: ‘A good education is something that no one can take away from you.’”
Mrs Obama also encourages Chinese students to study abroad. “As the Chinese saying goes: It is better to travel 10,000 miles than to read 10,000 books,” she said. It’s not enough to get good grades in school. It’s also important to have real experience with languages, cultures and societies different from your own, she noted.
Studying abroad could also gain future international relations. It could help young people from different countries work together to deal with problems such as climate change, Mrs Obama said.

A secret to win
Once a 10-year-old boy decided to learn judo (柔道) though he had lost his left arm in a car accident.
The boy began lessons with an old Japanese sensei, a judo teacher. Three months later, he was still practising with the same move. So he asked, “Sensei, shouldn’t I be learning more moves?”
“This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the sensei replied.
The boy kept training. Months later, the sensei took him to his first match.
Surprisingly, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match was more difficult, but after some time, his opponent (对手) became impatient. The boy used his one move to win the match and now was in the final.
This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy seemed to lose the game. Being worried that the boy might get hurt, the referee (裁判) called a break. Just before the referee wanted to end the match, the sensei came to him.
“No,” the sensei said, “let him go on.” Soon after the match began, his opponent made a big mistake: he dropped his guard (防守). Suddenly, the boy won the match.
On the way home, the boy and the sensei talked about every move in each match. Then the boy gathered the courage to ask, “Sensei, how did I win the match with only one move?”
“You won for two reasons,” the sensei answered. “First, you’ve learned one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known guard for that move is for your opponent to catch your left arm.”
1.How many opponents did the boy face in the story?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
2.Why did the boy’s last opponent lose the game?
A. Because he failed to protect himself in time.
B. Because he was not strong and experienced enough.
C. Because the referee ended the match.
D. Because he was afraid to hurt the boy.
3.The boy could win all the matches mainly because ______.
A. his opponents made more mistakes than he did
B. his opponents were more impatient than he was
C. the boy was better at guard than his opponents were
D. the boy’s biggest weakness became his biggest strength
4.From the passage we can infer that ______.
A. disabled people are the best ones in learning judo
B. one can win achievements by keeping practising
C. it is important to find a good referee to win a match
D. it is useless to learn too much knowledge and skills
We may know that there are four basic stages that human beings pass through when they enter and live in a new culture. This process, which helps us to deal with culture shock(文化冲击), is the way our head and our personality react to(对…做出反应) the strange new things we meet with when we move from one culture to another.
Culture begins with the “honeymoon stage”. This is the time when we first arrive in which everything about the new culture is strange and exciting. We see new things, hear new sounds and language, eat new kinds of food. This stage can last for quite a long time because we feel we are very excited.
Unluckily, the second stage can be more difficult. After we have got used to our new life, we can become very tired and begin to miss our homeland and our family, friends, pets. All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture. This time of cultural adjustment(调整) can be very difficult and lead to pulling away from the new culture.
The third stage is called the “adjustment stage”. This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the host culture. Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor!
The fourth stage can be called “at ease at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new place. You can deal with most problems that you have. You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them.
There is a fifth stage of culture shock which many people don’t know about. This is called
“reverse culture shock”. Surprisingly, this happens when you go back to your own culture and find
that you have changed and that things there have changed while you have been away. Now you feel a little uncomfortable back home. Life is a struggle!
1.How do you feel during the first stage of culture shock?
A. Lonely and sad. B. Bored and homesick.
C. Angry and impatient. D. Happy and excited.
2.How could the third stage be described?
A. Adjustment. B. Pulling away C. Shock. D. Anger.
3.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Human beings would pass through four stages when they begin to live in a new culture.
B. Entering and living in a new culture is challenging(挑战).
C. It is much fun to live in a new culture.
D. Life in a new culture is a struggle.
