Certainly, you need some intelligence, knowledge base, study skills, and
24、 time management skills, but if you dont have motivation, you wont get far. Think about this analogy.

25、, until a driver sits behind the wheel, puts the key in the ignition(点火装置), and cranks it up, the car doesnt function. You guessed it; the KEY is MOTIVATION.

26、success in an endeavor(努力) leads to more interest and a greater desire to learn, creating an upward spiral(螺旋形) of motivation toward a goal you have established. So be honest with yourself. Are you genuinely interested in being in college? Have you set realistic goals for yourself? How can you devel

To inspire college students to set goals for their college life. C. To imply that the less motivated college st
31、udents quit the college.D. To call on parents to give up their over-protection of their children.45. What may be the writers advice to the potential readers?A. The goals you set for yourself shouldnt be far beyond your reach.B. You neednt attend college if you are really not interested in it.C. You
32、should work harder to win praise from others.D. Honesty is the best policy to solve problems in your life. BMy destination is the River Walk, one of the most popular places in all of Texas. In the first half of 20th century, to control flooding, the city fathers began redirecting the San Antonio Riv
33、er. They built a network of canals that pass through the downtown area. At nearly every street corner, stairs lead down to walkways on both sides of the canals.The River Walk is linked with cafes, bars, shops - and, of course, plenty of bridges.

34、ving to return to the street. Its a constant party along the River Walk, with music and festivals throughout the year. The Mud Festival, for example, takes place each January, when the city empties this section of the river to clean it out. Thats when the Mud King and Mud Queen are crowned.No visit
35、to Texas would be complete without seeing a rodeo - another aspect of this part of the country that is completely foreign to someone from New England. The announcer walks on stage and gets the crowd excited with talk about the courageous cowboys wholl be performing. While hes talking, a band plays s
36、ad songs about love gone wrong.Suddenly the announcer calls for silence. He takes off his tall hat and asks us to join him in prayer. We pray for the cowboys who are, we are told, risking their lives to entertain us, as well as for the bulls and other animals taking part in the shows. We pray for th
37、e tourists who are visiting. The rodeo gets going and the fun begins.Our prayers for the cowboys and animals are answered, and nobody gets hurt. But as we walk over to the cowboy dance hall after the show to enjoy a Texas-size barbecue, its clear that not enough prayers were said for the bulls less
38、athletic relatives - the ones not chosen for rodeo work. Theyll be our meal. It seems that moving too slowly has its disadvantages, too.46.What do you know about the River Walk from the article?A.

43、 of temperature extremes. Any oasis always contains one or more springs. Oases make it possible to survive long walks through the desert. In large deserts such as the Sahara, towns group around sources of water such as oases and rivers. What causes an oasis? An oasis is actually a spot in the desert
44、 where the altitude is low enough that the water table is right below the surface, resulting in the presence of springs. Even in a desert, it rains occasionally, and this produces a water table just above the bedrock, usually several hundred feet below the surface. Sand is very porous, so most water
45、 runs right through it and down to the bedrock. Deserts consist of many millions of tons of sand. There is only one natural force capable of moving it in considerable amounts: the wind. Although, in an average dust storm, ten cubic feet of air only holds about an ounce of sand, a cubic mile of air c
46、an move about 4,600 tons of it, leading to considerable erosion（侵蚀）. A severe storm is capable of moving as much as 100 million tons of sand.
