问题补充：
I lived in Dallas, Texas nearly all my life with my mom, dad and older sister. We were 41to respect others, value education, and get all that we could out of life. My parents always say, “ 42hard and the world is yours.” They are never without a 43word of advice or a bit of encouragement when life gets tough.
My parents always 44me to go to college. However, when I 45at 16 years old that I’d rather get married to a man than go to college, they 46stopped telling me they loved me and I could anything I wanted to. 47, they persuaded me. I graduated from high school and currently 48 the University of Oklahoma studying medicine. I want to make the 49a better place to live in.
Every time I call home to tell them about a 50I received in Chemistry Lab or Microeconomics or whichever 51it is that I’m working hardest for at the moment, they tell me how 52of me they are. I know there are college kids out there that have no one to call home when they an “A” on a project and I feel incredibly 53to have my parents.
Don’t get me wrong: We’ve had our share of 54. I was the angry teenager and they were the awful 55that wouldn’t let me stay out all night or let me get my tongue pierced（扎洞）.But somehow, we 56 to work through those issues. They never 57loving in me or believing in me.
I 58 everything I am to my parents. Without their 59love and encouragement, I wouldn’t believe I can change the world. My parents taught me to always 60for what I believe in. So I’m working toward something really great and can only hope I continue to make them proud.

【小题1】C。根据语境可知,对于父母的劝说,作者心存感激。
【小题1】B。从persuaded一词可以看出,作者没有弃学,因此,这里表示她高中毕业后上了一所大学。attend a university上大学。
【小题1】D。作者主修医学,她希望使这个世界成为一个更适合人们生活的地方。globe指地球或地球仪。
【小题1】A。从本段不难看出作者时常把学业上取得的成绩告诉父母。grade成绩等级。
【小题1】C。whichever修饰class,无论哪一门课。
【小题1】B。本句含有一个感叹句式的宾语从句,父母对子女取得的成绩当然会感到高兴和自豪。proud of为习惯用法,表示“以……自豪”。

【小题1】B。从本段首句“Don’t get me wrong” (不要误会/误解“我”)可知,作者与父母之间也并不是一点问题或矛盾都没有的。这一点从本段的“work through those issues”也可以知晓。
【小题1】C。不难看出句中的they指的就是作者的父母。
【小题1】A。但是我们设法成功地解决了那些问题。联系But的转折含义可以看出应该用manage to do sth.表示“成功地做了某事”。
【小题1】D。联系文章的中心可知,他们并不因为这些问题或分歧就停止对我的爱。第二段第二句也有暗示。
【小题1】B。owe sth. to sb.把……归功于某人,这里作者表示自己的一切都应归功于父母。
【小题1】C。和文章首段呼应,再次阐述父母的爱和鼓励的重要性。
