Youth Determines Success
An old proverb says, "If one does not exert onelf in youth, one will regret in old age." It is a warning to remind people, especially us young people not to waste our fleeting youth, otherwi we will regret in vain when we get old. In other words, youth determines our success and we should make every effort to pursue what we want when we are young.
For one thing, the most beautiful time in a person"s life is his youth. With energy, ambition and inspiration, it is in one"s youth that one could most probably create his career, establish a reputation and make a fortune. For another, youth paves the way for one"s success. Nobody can succeed easily. Success comes from wisdom, knowledge, vision, interpersonal relations, etc. All of them must be accumulated over a long period of time, especially through books and education in youth.
As college students, having the most favorable environment—the supportive parents, dedicated teachers, comfortable living conditions, and particularly, an enormous amount of time—we should double our efforts to study hard and make preparations for the future
career.

四、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：10.00)
Amid all the disction of John F. Kennedy"s legacy this week, one achievement has gone largely unnoticed: his role in kick-starting the modern women"s movement. Admittedly, JFK"s Cabinet and policy staff were overwhelmingly male. Nonetheless, in December 1961, Kennedy acted decisively in the interest of women, establishing a national Commission on the Status of Women.
Of cour, as JFK historian Ellen Fitzpatrick points out, it was not Kennedy so much as it was influential feminists such as Esther Peterson who shaped the commission and its achievements. But it was the president who got the ball rolling, and his action provides an excellent model that could be replicated today. As the nation commemorates Kennedy"s li
fe and legacy, President Obama should consider appointing acommission dedicated to ensuring more women in elective and appointed politics.
Women have taken many steps forward since Kennedy"s time. But they are still sorely underreprented among the ranks of elected officials. During the time of the original commission, only 20 women rved in Congress—just 3.7% of the total number of reprentatives. Fifty years later, things have improved only slightly, with women at a grossly disproportionate 18%. One can only imagine just how much more could have been accomplished to end gender discrimination over the last half century if more women had been at the table.
In no country have women reached equality without laws to assist them. But laws are made by legislators, and the U.S. ranks 81st in the world in the percentage of women rving in the national legislature. Women are 51% of the population but make up only 24% of state legislatures, 18% of big-city mayors and 10% of governors. At the current rate, gender parity in Congress will take 500 years.
Women"s underreprentation rais questions of justice and underminesthe optimal fun
ctioning of democratic government. Rearch has found that female office-holders rai different issues, reach compromis more readily and are more likely to give voice to the needs of families and vulnerable groups. Yet far fewer women than men run for office.
In fact, women should be encouraged to run for office in middle and high school. More than 40% of the women who rve in Congress began their political careers by rving in student government. It is time for stronger efforts to break the gender glass ceiling in politics. If more women are urged to run for office and given support to do so, more will win and rve.（分数：10.00）
