(2013·济南模拟)After spending a year in Brazil on a student exchange program，her mother recalled，Marie Colvin returned home to find that her classmates had narrowed down their college choices.“Everyone else was already admitted to college，” her mother，Rosemarie Colvin，said from the family home.“So she took our car and drove up to Yale and said，‘You_have_to_let_me_in.’”
“Impressed—she was a National Merit (全国英才) finalist who had picked up Portuguese in Brazil—Yale did，admitting her to the class of 1978，where she started writing for the Yale Daily News and decided to be a journalist，” her mother said.
On Wednesday，Marie Colvin,56，an experienced journalist for The Sunday Times of London，was killed as Syrian forces shelled the city of Homs.She was working in a temporary media center that was destroyed in the attack.
“She was supposed to leave Syria on Wednesday”，Mrs.Colvin said.“Her editor told me he called her yesterday and said it was getting too dangerous and they wanted to take her out.She said she was doing a story and she wanted to finish it.”
Mrs.Colvin said it was pointless to try to prevent her daughter from going to conflict zones.“If you knew my daughter，” she said，“it would have been such a waste of words.She was determined，she was enthusiastic about what she did，it was her life.There was no saying ‘Don’t do this.’This is who she was，absolutely who she was and what she believed in：cover the story，not just have pictures of it，but bring it to life in the deepest way you could.” “So it was not a surprise when she took an interest in journalism，” her mother said.

(2013·江西省大江市高三模拟)If you’re someone who desires something beyond the ordinary，you must have figured out by now that there will always be those who are jealous or resentful (憎恨的) of your success.
It doesn’t matter that you’ve worked long and hard to get where you are，nor that you’ve made great sacrifices in achieving your goals.The “haters” will always find a reason to criticize and even condemn you.
They envy you the pride you have in yourself and the recognition you’re receiving from others.They can’t stand it that you’re happy，fulfilled and achieving your goals.
These hateful individuals are unwilling to do the work that you’ve done；they rarely make the same kinds of sacrifices or put in the long，hard hours.They resent your success but are too lazy to invest real time or energy in the pursuit of their own goals.
It’s true that we aren’t always going to succeed in our ventures，even if we put in the time and effort.Results are never guaranteed and life has a way of throwing curve balls (曲线球) at us.
I loved it when Tina Fey went up to collect her Golden Globe statuette and held it high，saying，“This is for all the haters！”She’s a good example of a talented，hard-working and successful person who’s received a numerous amount of negative press.Ms.Fey may be besieged by haters but she refuses to let them get to her.
The thing you need to know about these haters is that the only reason they behave this way is that you have something they want but they aren’t willing to work for it.
The haters are convinced that you’ve been lucky or that you’ve had some unfair advantage but the truth is that your success is born of your untiring efforts，and it’s these efforts that have brought about your “luck”．
The best way to deal with haters is what I call the “one-two punch”．First，don’t let them
affect you.Be happy about your success and proud of your accomplishments.Let in the approval and the recognition from supportive people and never doubt that you deserve all this.The haters are angry，jealous people.What they think or say is ultimately meaningless.
Next，the more the haters harass you，the more you should be motivated to succeed.They want to undermine you but your response should be to work that much harder in order to increase your level of success.
When your reaction to their hostility (敌意) has inspired you to achieve further success，you’ve transformed the haters’ negativity into fuel for your creative fires.Not only can they not hurt you but they’ve inadvertently spurred you on to even greater heights.
6．The reason why people are jealous or resentful of you is that ________. A．you have something they want to get for nothing B．you are luckier than they are
C．they cannot get where you are whatever efforts they make D．you achieve something at the sacrifice of them
7．Faced with haters around you，you should bear in mind that ________.
A．your efforts are sure to pay off in spite of their hostility B．they will not affect you
C．what they do isn’t intended to harm you D．what they think or say is meaningless
8．The writer takes the story of Tina Fey as an example to indicate ________. A．she didn’t allow her haters to get close to her
B．a successful person like her always has many haters around him C．she got on well with her haters D．she wasn’t affected by her haters
9．If we deal with haters in a proper way，there will ________. A．motivate us to achieve even greater success B．follow in our footsteps C．stay away from us
D．be influenced by us and pursue their own goals 10．The passage mainly focuses on ________. A．secrets of successful people
B．negative effects of jealousy and resentment C．the reason why some people do not succeed
D．the proper way to cope with others’ jealousy and resentment
