A
Jenifer Mauer has needed
more willpower than the typical college student to
pursue her goal of
earning a nursing
degree. That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer
graduated from University of
Wisconsin-
Eau Claire and became the first in her large
family to earn a bachelor's degree.
Mauer, of Edgar, Wisconsin, grew up on
a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked
at a
job away from the farm, and her
mother ran the farm with the kids. After high
school, Jennifer
attended a local
technical college, working to pay her
tuition(
学费
), because there
was no extra
money set aside for a
college education. After graduation, she worked to
help her sisters and
brothers pay for
their schooling.
Jennifer now is
married and has three children of her own. She
decided to go back to college to
advance her career and to be able to
better support her family while doing something
she loves:
nursing. She chose the UW-
Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph's
Hospital in Marshfield
because she was
able to pursue her four-year degree close to home.
She could drive to class and be
home in
the evening to help with her kids. Jenifer
received great support from her family as she
worked to earn her degree: Her husband
worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her
68-year-old
mother helped take care of
the children at times.
Through it all,
she remained in good academic standing and
graduated with honors. Jennifer
sacrificed(
牺牲
)to
achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her
kids and missing important
events to
study. ''Some nights my heart was breaking to have
to pick between my kids and studying
for exams or papers,'' she says.
However, her children have learned an important
lesson witnessing
their mother earn her
degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate
and an inspiration to her
family-and
that's pretty powerful.

1. What did Jennifer do
after high school?
A. She helped her
dad with his work.
B. She ran the
family farm on her own.
C. She
supported herself through college.

She taught her sisters and brothers at home.
2. Why did Jennifer choose the program
at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield?
A. To take care of her kids easily.
C. To save money for her parents.
3. What did Jennifer sacrifice to
achieve her goal?
A. Her health.
C. Her reputation.
4. What
can we learn from Jenifer's story?
A.
Time is money.
C. Hard work pays off.

In a very
strong earthquake, you might be thrown upward or
down to the ground. Cracks might
appear
in the ground. Windows might be broken. Buildings
and bridges might fall down. People
might be injured
or even
killed. Strong earthquakes often suddenly break electric wires. That means
electric
lights and machines will not work. Water pipes
sometimes break, so people have no water to
drink. Pipes that carry natural gas and
tanks that hold petrol and dangerous chemicals can
break and
Aftershocks
(
余震
) are mini-quakes that
come after the main part, of an earthquake. They
can
cause even more damage. Aftershocks
are especially dangerous for rescue workers who
have gone
into ruined buildings to help
people who are trapped inside. The buildings can
collapse,
trapping the
rescue workers along with the people
they are trying to help.
Very strong
earthquakes can cause tsunamis in the ocean, which
may bring great damage.

Earthquakes can cause landslides where
dirt and rocks slide down the sides of a mountain
and
damage buildings and hurt people.
Earthquakes can also cause avalanches
(
雪崩

slide down a mountainside. An avalanche
can be just as dangerous as a landslide.
