Last month when I was taking part in a US college interview, I was asked, “ what makes you special ? ” In fact I had answered questions likes this many times since I decided to go to college in the US .college paid special attention to different achievement . For example, a person who is very good at math can go to a famous college but also can be a good football player .
This experience made me think again that I must try to find where my own interests might lead me . To be honest, it was not easy . However, I never felt sorry to choose this way because it helped me understand myself . If I took the College Entrance Examination,as we call it gaokao in China, it could never possibly do .
When I entered high school, I took gaokao seriously because it seemed to me a great way to show how good at my lessons . However,as I grew older, I realized gaokao did make me work hard at my lessons, but the pressure also pushed many other activities out of my life, like guitar―playing . Although I had no time for it, I will still get to it in the future .
No doubt, gaokao provides a way of choosing those who are successful in their studies . But it is really important for all of us to rethink what “ talent ” really is today . This is because we now live in a world in which all of our other human qualities ( 品質(zhì)）are needed for success, not just the high grade .
Ken Robinson once said, “ the society depends on different kinds of talents . ”  However, gaokao pays too attention  to a person’s grades but little to his other qualities. And it is these qualities that makes life colorful and fun .
As high school students, we can not change the present situation of eduction, but we are always free to think outside of the box . Although good school grade is still useful, I hope one day we will see our education also welcomes the amazing possibilities in different people .
【小題1】The US College pay special attention to ________.

A．students’family background .
B．the different achievement
C．students’ideas about way of life .
D．the school a student is from .
【小題2】When at high school, the writer ________.
A．had a lot of activities .
B．did not work hard at her lessons .
C．did well in gaokao
D．had no time to play the guitar .
【小題3】From the passage, we know that the writer may ________.
A．go to college in America .
B．give up the US college interview .
C．become a good football player in the US.
D．change the present situation of eduction .
【小題4】Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. My school life abroad.             B. Different exams in the US.
C My view on gaokao           D. The importance of school grades
