1、人生感悟类阅读 专项训练一、 One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible insect. He lay on his armor-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The beddi
2、ng was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked. Whats happened to me?” he thought. It wasnt a dream. His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay p
3、eacefully between its four familiar walls. A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the tableSamsa was a travelling salesmanand above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur ha
4、t and fur scarf who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff(暖手筒) that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer. Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the window, which made him feel quite sad. “How about if I sleep a little bit
5、 longer and forget all this nonsense,” he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldnt get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was. He must have tried
6、 it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldnt have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before. He thought, “What a heavy career it is that Ive chosen! Travelling day in and day out. Doing business like this ta
7、kes much more effort than doing your own business at home, and on top of that theres the curse of travelling, worries about making train connections, bad and irregular food, contact with different people all the time so that you can never get to know anyone or become friendly with them.” He felt a s
8、light itch up on his belly; pushed himself slowly up on his back towards the headboard so that he could lift his head better; found where the itch was, and saw that it was covered with lots of little white spots which he didnt know what to make of; and when he tried to feel the place with one of his
9、 legs he drew it quickly back because as soon as he touched it he was overcome by a cold tremble. He slid back into his former position. “Getting up early all the time,” he thought, “it makes you stupid. Youve got to get enough sleep. Other travelling salesmen live a life of luxury. For instance, wh

39、、 Growing up, Deka Ismail says she let labels define what she could be. “I was a black girl, from a refugee (难民) family,” Deka said. “It was as if I was only allowed to explore in this predetermined box.” After a high school chemistry class inspired her to think about a career in science and gave he
40、r confidence in the field, Deka learned to live outside labels and began making big plans for her future. Now she is about to begin her freshman year at the University of California, planning to become a professor. Born and raised in San Diegos City Heights neighbourhood, Deka is the daughter of a S
41、omali refugee couple. While some might say Dekas success happened in spite of her background, she would say differently, that her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be the driven, young scientist that she is today.

I felt like the whole world was waiting for me to mess up.” Dekas efforts paid off. The summer before her senior year of high school, she was accepted to the American Chemical So
44、ciety Project SEED Programme. “She brought both enthusiasm and focus,” Botham, a researcher at this research institute, recalled. “She arrived every day ready to work, ready to learn and ready to tackle new challenges regardless of whether or not she had done anything similar.” When asked what advic
45、e she would give to others like her, Deka warned them not to underestimate themselves. “Dont tell yourself that scholarship is too big or this programme is too competitive or Ill never get into this school,” she said. “I was not sure whether I could make it until I started seeing the acceptance lett
