[2024·黑龙江月考]David is an excellent student and he comes from New York. His family was there until he finished eighth grade. David had no choice but to sleep on park benches. Being alone on the streets was scary. One thing kept David going: his determination to do well in school.
Even though many things were difficult in DaviD s life, one thing was going very well. David was accepted to a special high school called MC2STEM. It is a public school in Cleveland for kids who are extremely good at science. The school turned out a peaceful place for David. He especially enjoyed having the chance to learn by doing lots of projects.
High school wasn't easy. But David says that the school helped him set high standards for himself. Even when he didn't have a place to stay at night, David kept his focus on his schoolwork.
While he was homeless, David would sometimes sleep in the park during the day because it was safer. “If you sleep in the daytime in the park, people won't bother you，” he says. “you're just taking a nap. It's acceptable.” Then David would study through the night. He showered at a frienD s house when his frienD s parents were at work.
All his hard work paid off. In May 2011, David graduated second in his high school class. He was accepted by 22 colleges. He also won a scholarship from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It will pay for all his college expenses.
Last fall, David began attending Harvard University, one of the top colleges in the US.“I found the perfect school for me.” He wrote in his blog.

[2024·银川一中月考]Who's in control of your life? Who is pulling your string? For the majority of us, it's other people—society, colleagues, friends, family or our religious community. We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it, “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry (模仿), their passions a quotation.”
So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix (一剂毒品). We worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.
But, just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom—the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own agenda, and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, they're more interested in themselves than in you. Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the process.
So how can we take back control? I think there's only one way—make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values－not values imposed (强加) from the outside by others, but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others, we will live a more authentic, effective, purposeful and happy life.
本文讲述的是一种社会现象，我们的生活被他人所控制。文章剖析了这种现象的起因，并对如何解除控制提出相应的建议。

6．What does the author try to argue in the third paragraph?
A．We need to pay for what we want to get.
B．Changing opinions may cost us our freedom.
C．We may lose ourselves to please others.
D．The price of taking drugs is freedom.
答案：C 细节理解题。根据本段最后一句“The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and...”可知。
7．In order to live a happy, effective and purposeful life, we should ________.
A．care about others' opinions and change opinions all the time
B．guide ourselves by means of values from the outside
C．stick to our own values
D．persuade others to accept our opinions
答案：C 细节理解题。根据最后一段“I think there's only one way—make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think.”可知。
8．It can be concluded from the passage that________.
A．it's important to accept others' opinions
B．it's better to do what we like
C．we shouldn't change our own opinions
D．we shouldn't care what others think too much

2．addict n．/vt. 使上瘾；有瘾的人
3．constant adj. 连续不断的
4．exhausted adj. 疲倦的
5．conscious adj. 有意识的；清醒的
