In the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.
My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.
Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic—and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.
You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo—a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant talking as few as one class each semester.
The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, But I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives. In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!
I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’ re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’ t arrive in your life on one day. It’ s a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.
What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph? ______
选项
A、Failure is the mother of success
B、Little by little, one goes far
C、Every coin has two sides
D、Well begun, half done
答案
B
解析
纵观全文,作者坚持了21年,虽然其间要照顾身患癌症的祖母,照顾孩子,但她始终没有放弃梦想,坚持不懈,最终完成了学业。A项意为“失败是成功之母“;B项意为“每天进步一点点,就可以向梦想迈进一大步”;C项意为“凡事有利弊”;D项意为“好的开始就是成功的一半”。故B项符合文意。
