Sarah Hughes won the gold medal in women’s figure skating at the 2002 Winter Olympics. A graduate of Yale University, she is writing her first book. She owes her success to her parents' support.
“I started skating when I was 3 years old. Competing in the Olympic Games had been my dream from the beginning. When I was 12 years old, my mother was hospitalized with breast cancer. I was on the way to making my first national team. Seeing my excitement at each stage gave her strength through her illness. On days when she was too weak to walk, she would think, ‘I have to make it through. I have to be there for my kids.’ My mom was able to leave the hospital to come to Philadelphia from New York to watch me win the Junior Ladies title. That day I was skating for more than just the judges. My parents' support made all the difference when I performed on the skating stage. When I won the Olympic medal, I was able to share more than just my skating experience with the people who were with me all along. I was raised in a stable, supportive environment.\

Sarah shows great gratitude to her parents because they provided her with support in her career. She holds the view that it was her parents’ support that made her succeed.
There is no doubt that parents’ support plays an important part in our daily life. They spare no effort to make us live a better life and their support gives us the courage to face all the difficulties in our life and studies.
When I was in primary school, I was quite shy and had great difficulty communicating with others. Therefore, I often felt lonely at school. When my parents learnt about this, they tried their best to encourage me to talk to my classmates and teachers. It was with their help that I eventually overcame my shyness and built up confidence.
Now, I owe all my achievements to my parents, whose support I will always treasure in my heart. (150词)

M: For the last time, please accept my offer! I know exactly what these things are supposed to cost. I’ve been in this business for over twelve years, so I know what I’m talking about.
W: Sir, perhaps you haven’t heard me clearly. We only sell items at fixed prices here. All prices are final, I’m afraid. Text 5

Deep Spring is an American college. It is an unusual college. It is located high in the mountains in California, not in a college town. The campus is a collection of old buildings with no beautiful classrooms. The only college-like thing about Deep Springs is its library. Students can use the 17000 books 24 hours a day. The library is never crowded because there are only 24 students at the college, and they are all male. There are only five professors. These teachers believe in the college, but they are not well-paid. In fact, they only get paid about 9000 dollars a year. The college gives teachers and students something more important than money —peace and quiet. There is no place like Deep Springs. Students are there to learn and they cannot run away from their problems because there is no place to run to. At most colleges, students can close their books and go to a film, or they can go out to restaurants or parties, but the students at Deep Springs have completely different activities. They can talk to each other or their teachers, or they can go out for a walk in the mountains, and that’s about it. Deep Springs is far from the world of restaurants and cinemas. There isn’t even one television set on campus.
