A

That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was， walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a week ago, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.

　 As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.

　 About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.

　 Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.

　 Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.

　 It was nearly 3 A.M. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.

I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself. Every single one of you has something that you’re good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That’s the opportunity an education can provide.

Maybe you could be a great writer – maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper – but you might not know it until you write that English paper – that English class paper that’s assigned to you. Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor – maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or the new medicine or vaccine – but you might not know it until you do your project for your science class. Maybe you could be a mayor or a senator or a Supreme Court justice – but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.

And no matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that you’ll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? You’re going to need a good education for every single one of those careers. You can’t drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You’ve got to train for it and work for it and learn for it.

And this isn’t just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. The future of America depends on you. What you’re learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.

25. What is the responsibility you have to yourself?

A. To discover what that is. B. To study for the future of America.

C. To be a great writer. D. To be a teacher.

26. What’s the opportunity an education can provide according to the passage?

A. To be a president. B. To be a millionaire.

C. To be a mayor or a senator. D. To meet greatest challenges.

27. What will you need to do for a police officer?

A. To find a good job. B. To need a good education.

C. To drop out of school. D. To be trained.

28. The main idea of this passage is _________.

A. education that America can provide B. what you want to do with your life

C. the importance of education D. responsibility

C

More than 50 years ago, the psychologist Carl Rogers suggested that simply loving our children wasn’t enough. We have to love them unconditionally, he said — for who they are, not for what they do. However, we are often given much advice on the opposite --- conditional parenting: turn up the parental love when they’re good, hold it back when they’re not.

A problem with conditional parenting is that it might be just another method of control, in other words, punishment. Roger warned that children were likely not to get the unconditional acceptance and love when it counted in their growth.

In a research done by Edward L. Deci, a leading American expert on the psychology of motivation, more than 100 college students were asked whether the love they had received from their parents had seemed to depend on whether they had succeeded in school, practiced hard for sports, or controlled feelings like anger and fear.

It turned out that children who received conditional love were indeed somewhat more likely to act as the parent wanted. But it came at a high price. First, these children tended to dislike their parents. Second, they admitted that the way they acted often owed more to a “strong internal pressure” than to “a real sense of choice.” Moreover, their happiness after succeeding at something was usually short-lived, and they often felt ashamed.

In practice, Dr. Deci and others suggested that unconditional acceptance by parents as well as teachers should be accompanied by explaining reasons for requests, offering opportunities for the child to take part in making decisions, being encouraging without controlling and actively imagining how things look from the child’s point of view. The last of these features is the most important in unconditional parenting.

29. From the passage we can conclude that _________.
