人与自我·自我管理 (2023山东济南高新区一模改编，46—50，★★☆)
Where there is a will, there is a way. Perhaps not many students can understand this better than Michael Ha. Because of his story of success, he has become an example to many young people.
Michael Ha was born in a very poor family in 1994. His parents worked in Vietnam before they moved to Britain in 1980. They couldn’t find work in Britain because they spoke little English. The whole family had to live on benefits(救济金) and they lived in a small house in Hackney—a poor area in East London. Growing up was not easy for Michael, but he never gave up.
At the age of 10, he set his heart on going to University of Cambridge. It was not easy, either. Michael studied at a school, which used to be called “the worst school” in Britain. However, young Michael made up his mind to try his best, no matter what kind of school he was studying at. The smart boy studied very hard and did well in every subject at school. Once he made a bet(打赌) with his friend to learn advanced mathematics (进阶数学). As a result, after spending just four months teaching himself from a textbook, he got an A in AS - level further math.
Now Michael is a medical student at St. John’s College in University of Cambridge and has just won an award for his excellent grades. He hopes he will be an inspiration for other young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.（E9208003）
