Everyone has a dream. We are on the way to achieve it whether the way is smooth or tough. As Senior 3 student, I have the same dream as my classmates that I can be admitted to an ideal university. In the past three year, I have done everything I can to equip myself with that I have learnt from my teachers. Not only had I enjoyed the pleasure of study but also I have got closer to my dream. Anxiety and pressure did discourage from me at times and with the encouragement of my teachers and classmates, I think I’ll make it.
I’m sure that there has still a long way to go to achieve my dream. No matter what challenging it is, I will make it come true. As the proverb said, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”

Students being interviewed either by alumni representatives or an admissions office need to walk a very fine line between being prepared and being rehearsed.
Here are some basic interview suggestions for you:
Don't arrive late. Don't arrive too early either. 1.
Don't dress inappropriately. There’s no need for a jacket and tie, 2. . That means no sneakers, shorts, T-shirts or jeans. Choose your outfit two days before the interview.
3. . Make sure you do your homework on specific majors, programs and their study abroad opportunities.
Don't be boring. Make yourself stand out with what you choose to talk about, such as your summer experiences, your volunteer and community service involvement, your club activities and internships or work experience. 4.
Don't sound like you've rehearsed. 5.
Don't forget to come prepared with your own questions. These questions are often where a student has the best opportunity to set themselves apart from other applicants. Create a list of questions you can ask that will help you decide if this could be the right college for you.
A. Being robotic and sounding like you've been preparing for three months will only work against you.
B. You won't have anything to do except getting more, nervous.
C. Not being well-informed about the college comes across as being disrespectful.
D. but you have to pretend you're going out for a nice dinner
E. Your questions should demonstrate critical thinking.
F. Don't assume you already know enough about the college
G. Share your interests and passions and let the interviewer feel like they know who you are when it's over.
When NASA astronaut Scott Kelly completes his yearlong mission on the International Space Station next year, he’ll come back just a little bit younger than his twin, Mark, than he was before. This is because time travels more slowly in space, a phenomenon first described by Albert Einstein’s 1915 theory of general relativity.
This December, universities and academies around the world are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the theory’s publication.
Even 60 years after his death, Einstein is still the most important scientist of the modern era. Looking back as far as 2,400 years ago, only Newton, Galileo and Aristotle were his equals.
Born in the era of horse-drawn carriages, his ideas started a technological revolution that brought about more change in one century than in the 2,000 years before.
In 1905, Einstein published four important scientific papers. These completely changed people’s ideas about space, time, light and matter. In one of these papers Einstein. introduced his theory of special relativity. Two groundbreaking parts of the theory were about the relationship between mass and energy and the speed of light. Einstein was able to show that mass and energy were connected through the formula E=MC2. The theory also says that no object can travel faster than the speed of light.
About 10 years later came his theory of general relativity, the theory that modern physics is really based on. In Einstein’s mathematics, space has three dimensions, and the fourth dimension is time. Space and time are part of one continuum, called space-time. The presence of mass changes space-time, which explains where gravity comes from.
Computers, satellites, telecommunication, lasers, television and nuclear power, many of the biggest developments in the modern world, can be linked to Einstein’s work.
“We are a different people than we were a century ago,” said astrophysicist Michael Shara of the American Museum of Natural. History, “completely different, because of Einstein.”
However, there’s more to him beyond the image of a science mastermind. Einstein, as a person, has also become a grandfatherly icon in our culture.
He liked playing Mozart on his Violin and keeping fit by hiking and walking. Power was not his goal. In 1952, the young nation of Israel asked Einstein to be its president, but he refused.
And, yes, he was eccentric. With hair like that, how could he not be?
1.The first paragraph was written to .
A. get readers to wonder about the effects of space travel on astronauts’ health
B. interest readers in the relationship between time and space
C. describe what gave Einstein the inspiration for his theories
D. lead in to the topic of the theory of general relativity
2.From the article, it can be concluded that .
A. the theory of general relativity is mainly about space and time
B. the theory of general relativity proves that the speed of light is the fastest of all speeds
C. the theory of general relativity is about math and has nothing to do with physics
D. the most important parts of the theory of special relativity are about space and energy
3.By using Michael Shara’s words, the author intends to .
A. give high praise to Einstein’s important publications
B. stress the great contribution that Einstein made to the modern world
C. suggest that more research needs to be done into Einstein and his work
D. say that there was more to Einstein than just being a science genius
