　　1.I’m curious. I am 27 and I didn’t have a chance to live outside of China (California) until about 3 years ago. People are amazed by my bilingual ability. I give credit to my curiosity for western society, and my urge to share my native culture.

　　1.我好奇心强。我27岁，直到3年前才有机会出国生活(加利福尼亚)。人们惊讶于我精通双语的能力，这要归功于我对西方社会的好奇和分享祖国文化的渴望。

　　2.在公共场合保持微笑。总有人跟我说无论什么时候见到我都看到我在微笑。

　　3.I’ve been financially independent since I was 18, and I have the amount of saving which most adults at my age would be proud of. I was working various part time jobs in college to gain money, experience and insight. So far, after graduation my jobs have included being a pub waitress, translator, website evaluator, journalist, financial controller.. and the list goes on.

　　3.从18岁起我就经济独立，而且有大多数同龄人会引以为傲的存款。大学时我就做各种兼职工作来赚钱，积累经验，提高眼力。毕业后到目前为止我做过酒吧服务员、翻译、网站评估员、记者、财务总监，我还在继续挑战自己。

　　4.I try to improve myself, every single day. I have bad days, days I don’t want to work/exercise/study/simply get out of bed. I make up those days with working extra hard on days when I’m more productive.

　　4.每一天我都在努力提高自己。我有也不在状态的时候，有些日子不想工作、锻炼、学习甚至不想起床。耽误的工作我都在效率高的时候加倍努力补上。

　　5.I’m book smart (not sure about street smart though). I can learn pretty much everything pretty well as long as I set my mind to. My high school was the best in the region with an admission rate lower than 2%. Without surprise, I was accepted by a tier 1 university in Shanghai (In China, we have 5 tiers for universities).

　　5.我有书本智慧(却不太懂街头智慧)。只要我用心什么都能学得很好。我就读的高中是当地最好的，录取率不到2%。我毫不意外地考入了上海的顶级大学(中国大学分5等)。

　　阅读小技巧

　　依据主题句定短文的中心：任意一篇文章通常是围绕一个中心展开并且由段落组成的;

　　段落之间有着内在的紧密联系，而表达段落主题的句子叫主题句，通常置于段落的开头，有时在段落末尾和中间;

　　其它的句子是用来说明和阐述主题句的;

　　若把一个个主题句加以整理，你能悟出其中心思想，同时还可以回避、排除个别生词、难句(等困难信号)所带来的干扰，但也有一些文章的中心思想常贯穿在全文中。因而同学们要综观全文，对全文有一个透彻的理解才行。
