Ruth Simmons was born in a very poor family. Today, she’s the president of a famous American university. How did she do it?

The story begins on a farm in Grapeland, Texas, in 1945. Ruth was born that year. Her parents were farmworkers, and she was the youngest of their twelve children. They weren’t able to give the children many things, and Ruth never had any toys. For Christmas, she didn’t receive any presents at all except a shoebox with an apple, an orange, and some nuts. However, in Grapeland, Ruth wasn’t really aware of being poor. Then the family moved into the city, Huston. In the city, being poor was much harder. And at that time, life was dangerous for African Americans, especially in the South.

At the age of five, Ruth fell in love with school. She was a clever child, and she was lucky to have some excellent teacher. No one in Ruth’s family had much education, but her teachers encouraged her to go to college, and Ruth was brave enough to try. They also gave her money and even a coat to wear.

At first, Ruth studied theater. Then she studied language. Later she married, had two children, and began to work as a college teacher and administrator. Soon people began to notice her and respect her abilities.

In 1995, Ruth became president of Smith College, a famous American college for women. Ruth was the first African American to lead a college like this one. Six years later, she accepted another challenge. She became the president of Brown University.

Ruth believes in the power of education. “Learning can be the same for a poor farm kid like me as it is for the richest child in the country. It’s all about cultivating one’s mind, and anybody can do that. So it doesn’t matter what color your skin is, it doesn’t matter how much money your father has, it doesn’t matter what kind of house you live in. Every learner can experience the same thing.” 71. Ruth was born poor and was the oldest child in her family. 72. Ruth’s parents gave the children many nice presents for Christmas. 73. Ruth herself was lucky enough to accept much school education when she was young.

74. Before Ruth married, she studied physics and then language in college. 75. Ruth became the president of Brown University in 2003.

76. Ruth was a secretary before becoming the president of Smith College. 77. From the passage we know Ruth was a lucky and amazing woman. B.Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): ( 7分) It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Luckily, such moments are usually not obvious（明显的）to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will notice that. When such moments happen, don't worry about them. Just continue as if nothing has happened.

Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn’t really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King’s famous speech - “I have a Dream”, you may notice that he stumbles (结巴)over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don’t remember. Why? Because you were more interested in his message than in his way of speech-making.

People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they think making a speech is a kind of performance rather than (胜于) an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating

competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performer. They are looking for a speech that expresses the speaker’s ideas clearly and simply. Sometimes a mistake or two can, in fact, increase a speaker’s attractiveness by making him more human.

As you work on your speech, don’t worry about being perfect. As soon as you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give a good speech. 78. ________ never happens during a speech. A) Making listeners understand all speakers’ plans B) Losing the place for a moment C) Changing the sentence order wrongly D) Forgetting to pause at a certain point 79. In fact, listeners always ________.

A) look for a perfect speaker B) point out the speaker’s mistakes
