阅读理解Oneofthebigchallengesthatstudents

阅读理解 One of the big challenges that students face in applying to universities abroad is writing the application essay. The essay topics all have something in common. They attempt to get at what type of person you are, what motivates you，and what you feel passion for. In a single 500-word piece of writing，admissions officers(招生负责人)attempt to gather all about you. So your task is of your personality on the essay and make yourself special. You can try and guess what the admissions officers like. But that won’t work.The essay will sound empty and become another dull piece of writing，which admissions officers get thousands of each year. It is true that admissions officers aren’t exactly looking for anything. The answer is just as open-ended as the question itself. If they ask for someone who has inspired you, it could be anyone. It could be a grandmother, a teacher, or even a character from a movie. A lot of people will say their dad. But since you really feel it, you’ll have a lot to write about. There are some important things to remember.These admissions officers want good writers. You don't have to be Ernest Hemingway, but you have to be able to form an interesting story.That means revision(校对)and editing，cutting out stupid grammar mistakes，reading it over several times，leaving it for a few days and looking at it again. Whatever you do, make sure the essay is as good as possible. Also，you should use exciting language and really make the reader feel the same passion as you do. It also means finding something unique about your point of view, something that other people might not think of.For example，if you want to write about your dad, you can focus on a specific anecdote(趣闻)about him .Admissions officers love personal stories that ring true.1.The purpose of the passage is to give advice on how to_________.A.choose an essay topic B.read the officers’ mindsC.be a good writer D write an effective application2.The underlined part of paragraph 2 suggests that you__________.A.stick enough stamps before posting your application essayB.write something unique in an essay to impress the readersC.take the task of showing off yourself seriouslyD.pay attention to your personal essay3.When admissions officers ask who has inspired you，they mean to________.A.know about your family membersB.understand you betterC.find out what your father doesD.discover your personal affairs4.According to the writer, it is wise to produce an essay with__________.A.500 beautiful wordsB.many funny thingsC.truthful specific storiesD.indirect answers
