Just like everyone,I have experienced ups and downs in my life.I am an aerospace engineer from India,I was told by my relatives,close friends and others that it was hard for a non-IT student to pursue a master's degree in IT and graduate from a US university.
    I had never taken courses related to computers or programming.I was never interested in being a programmer,but things changed.I became so fascinated with the convenience IT has brought to our life that I made up my mind to chase a master's degree in IT.
    At first,I came across too many difficulties and setbacks.Coming from a middle-class family,the huge cost per credit was a big issue.My English accent was terrible.Most importantly,the course seemed impossible at first.Although I felt so discouraged and frustrated,I never thought of giving up.
    Then I decided to choose my university because it promised its students to help them learn practically.During my first month,it was difficult to understand the Americans' accent and finish my assignments.But I never gave in.I walked two miles to the university every day so that I could use my travel money to buy a meal.I started looking for jobs and I got an offer to work as a student assistant,which meant lifting benches and chairs every day.
    I took all these challenges as my chances,and I believed that hard work was my strength.Right now I am graduating with a GPA of 3.96/4 and a job offer from a multinational company that has asked me to start right after graduation.
    When you have a dream to realize,there is nothing that can stop you.All you need is the diligence and persistence.Hard work always pays off.Having a determined will is also necessary.

  • 2.How many hours do you spend sitting in a chair every day?Eight hours in the office plus three hours in front of the TV after work is the usual situation for many people.
    You probably don't need an expert to tell you that sitting too much is not good for your health-from an increased risk of heart disease and obesity(肥胖) in the long term,to reduced cholesterol(膽固醇) maintenance in the short term,not to mention the pressure on your neck and spine(脊柱).
    To make matters worse,a growing body of research suggests that the negative effects of sitting too much cannot be countered with a good diet and regular exercise,according to an article in The New York Times.The article reported that a study of nearly 9,000 Australians found that for each additional hour of television a person watched per day,the risk of dying rose by 11 percent.In other words,sitting is killing us.
    Stand up for health.Health experts suggest we break up those many hours spent sitting with more hours spent standing.
    The BBC and the University of Chester in the UK conducted a simple experiment with a small group of 10 volunteers who usually spent most of the day sitting.They were asked to stand for at least three hours a day.The researchers took measurements on days when the volunteers stood,and when they sat around.When they looked at the data,there were some striking differences.Blood sugar became level after a meal much quicker on the days when the volunteers in the study stood compared with the days they spent in a chair.Standing also burned more calories(熱量單位:卡路里)-about 50 calories an hour.Over the course of a year that would add up to about 30,000 extra calories,or around 3.63 kilograms of fat.
    John Buckley,a member of the research team,said that although doing exercise offers many proven benefits,our bodies also need the constant,almost imperceptible(感覺不到的) increase in muscle activity that standing provides.Simple movement helps us to keep our all-important blood sugar under control.
    The researchers believe that even small adjustments,like standing while talking on the phone,going over to talk to a colleague rather than sending an e-mail,or simply taking the stairs instead of the elevator,will help.
    (Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)

    78.According to the context,the underlined expression"be countered with"in Paragraph 3 can best be replaced by"
    ".
    79.The two findings of the simple experiment conducted by the BBC and the University of Chester in the UK are that standing

    80.Why is standing better than doing exercise according to John Buckley?

    81.What does the passage mainly want to tell us?

  • 3.Everyone is faced with problems at some point or the other. (1)
    The problems,however,become different when past strategies do not work and there is no obvious solution.This can cause anxiety and stress.However,all you need to do is remain calm and use a new,different method.Here are some easy ways to solve problems.
       Acknowledge that there is a problem.Many people refuse to acknowledge that there is a problem.They continue thinking everything will disappear on its own,so they fail to seek timely help.This does not help the situation in any way. (2)

       Keep a journal.Keeping a daily journal is the best way to solve deeper problems that may be affecting your peace of mind. (3)
    Sometimes,just by writing down issues,you might get to see that a problem isn't as big as you are thinking.
       (4)
    Often,to solve a problem,you need to test your limits.You may have to take on certain challenges including learning something new to improve yourself.If you continue thinking of the problem as a threat and view yourself as a failure or a weak person,you will not be able to deal with the problem.Nevertheless,if you can see some benefits coming out of the problem,you will be in a better position to accept the challenge and learn something new.
       Seek help. (5)
    If you are still unable to solve the issue despite giving it much thought and attention,seek help from friends,colleagues,family or even professionals.
