Module 6 The Tang Poems The Internet and Telecommunications (建议用时40分钟) Ⅰ. 阅读理解 A 　　In 1959, when Jean Harper was in the third grade, her teacher gave the class an assignment to write a report on what they wanted to be when they grew up. She poured her heart into her report and expressed her dream of becoming an airline pilot. Her paper came back with an“F”on it. The teacher told her it was a“fairy tale”. Jean was heartbroken and ashamed. As the years went by, Jean was beaten down by the discouragement and negativity she encountered whenever she talked about her dream. “Girls can’t become airline pilots; never have, never will. You’re crazy. That’s impossible. ”Finally Jean gave up. In her senior year of high school, her English teacher was Mrs Dorothy Slaton, a demanding teacher with high standards. One day Mrs Slaton asked this question, “If you had unlimited finances, unlimited access to the finest schools, unlimited talents and abilities, what would you do? ”Jean felt a rush of the old enthusiasm, and with excitement she wrote down the very old dream.

When you leave school, if you don’t go for your dreams, no one will do it for you. You can have what you want if you want it enough. ” The hurt and fear of years of discouragement disappeared all of a sudden. Jean felt thrilled and told her about her dream of becoming a pilot.

Instead, she went on doing everything her third-grade teacher said was fairy-tale. Eventually, Jean Harper became a Boeing 737 captain for the United Airline Company. 【文章大意】Jean在三年级的时候写下理想, 然而小学老师却说她的梦想是不切实际的。后来在高中老师的鼓励下, Jean通过
