When I was eight, I got my first pair of glasses. Far from being made fun of at school, the only struggle I got was endless requests to try on my new glasses. Hearing about what happened at school, my father once looked at me and asked whether I had pretended to be the blindness just to look like Harry Potter?

With my strange hair and glasses, I did nothing to avoid it, either. The Harry Potter books were the great pop cultural event of my generation, who began reading again. My school librarian, both confused and annoyed by us Potter fans, dealt with fights over the schools few old copies by setting a new rule: Harry Potter could be borrowed for only three days, instead of the whole week of borrowing period every other title was allowed.

In the 20 years since the first book arrived on shelves, publishers and parents have been asking what has made J.K. Rowling's books so loved. It is better to look at the influence they have had on their readers. Yes, the books were about a boy taking on a dark and powerful enemy in the magical world, but they were also about love defeating hate, determination and choosing" between what is easy and what is right". Rowling’s entire magical characters were all people we want to be.

I grew up with Harry and together we became children with our own opinions, teens easy to get angry and young adults thinking of everything as normal. When the final book came out in 2007.I read it for 12 hours without a break and cried as I finished it. I felt something sad: the end of Harry’s story signaled the end of my childhood. I was suddenly aimless. Meanwhile, my now Potter-mad father walked impatiently nearby, waiting for the proper moment to take the book away from his daughter.

Harry Potter did shape my generation. As a girl who grew up mostly in peacetime, many of the ideas I found in these books were ones we had never come across before. The magical world’s terrible treatment of non-human beings was the first description of slavery I knew. The treatment of Harry’s teacher Remus Lupin, who hides his condition at work, is a metaphor(比喻) for the shame surrounding those who suffer from AIDS. And all settings like this may have real-world reflections .A study found that teenage Harry Potter readers showed more tolerance (包容) towards those who were suffering. Is it possible that Jeremy Corbyn's popularity among the young had anything to do with their literary education? Is it possible that Harry Potter, in the 20 years he has been with us, has inspired a generation to be more empathetic(感同身受), welcoming and socially open- minded than those before it? We will see If not, at least my glasses are still cool.

1.Paragraph 1 is intended to show_____.

A. the authors sufferings caused by the glasses

B. the author s close relations with other students

C. the misunderstanding between the author and her father

D. the popularity of Harry Porter among students

A. By preventing Potter fans borrowing Harry Potter many times

B. By selling the Harry Porter books in the library.

A. The book has been the most popular one among all the books for twenty years.

B. It is the story of revenge(复仇)in the magical world that makes the book popular.

C. Readers are crazy about the book because it has taught them how to love and make wise choices.

D. The book has had such great influence on the readers that they all want to be magical persons.

4.Why did the author cry when she read Harry Potter that came out in 2007?

A. Because she suddenly found that she was too old to read Harry Potter.

B. Because her father was for a chance to take her book away.

C. Because she had no plan for what to do after her childhood ended.

Teenagers in America know that they’ll possibly need technical skills to find good jobs, but a new survey reveals that interest in technology-related careers may be decreasing.       

The percentage of boys aged 13 to 17 who are interested in science, technology,engineering and math ---or STEM ---careers dropped from 36 percent in 2017 to 24 percent this year, according to a survey by Junior Achievement USA. The amount of girls interested in STEM careers stayed unchanged at II percent.

But the 1, 000 survey participants still named technology as one of two key skills that will be necessary to prepare them for their future careers.

"Kids don' t understand how technology can be applied to careers in addition to computers, and maybe robotics, "said Tammera L. Holmes, president of aviation consulting firm AeroStar Consulting(航空资询公司).“That’s all they know, so they can’t really translate that interest to career pathways. "

When Holmes was in high school, her mom sent her to an event that featured (以......为专题 )the pilots from World War II. One of the pilots took her for a ride and let her take the wheel. immediately that was the career for me. " she said.

Women remain outnumbered(超过) by men in fields like technology. For people working to increase the number of women in these areas, the lack of growth in girls interest in STEM careers is concerning.

Teenage girls are more interested than their male classmates in running after careers in which they can help others, said Ed Grocholski from Junior Achievement. Even with all the programs aimed at increasing girls' interest in STEM, "I don’t think we really talk that much about how we improve people’s lives through STEM, " Grocholski said.

Society needs to do better at making those connections for kids, said Katherine Latham, founder of an engineering firm. She used civil engineering as an example of a career that will continue to be important.

However, the fact that students know they will need tech skills in their future careers is encouraging.

The second skill they said they need is relationship-building.

"That's going to be the new type of engineers, " Latham said.

B. Teenage girls are interested in running after STEM careers.

C. The relationship between STEM careers and the improvement of people’s lives isn’t explained enough.

D. Teenagers don' t know how to improve people’s lives through STEM.

People in developed countries are increasingly suffering from illnesses resulting from overeating. While starvation and hunger are still big problems in many poor countries in the world, more than 25 percent of the population in America and other western countries are obese. This doesn’t just mean you are a little bit fat. It means you are more than 20 kilos overweight.

Dr. John Colon from Ohio State University says the problem is only going to get worse.”As more women have gone out to work, you find that parents in general have less time to spend on preparing food. That’s not just cooking, but also planning what to eat, doing the shopping and buying the fresh food. Families, therefore, increasingly rely on ready-made and frozen meals, which tends to be high in fat and contain a lot of additives(materials added to food to improve its taste) and sugar. The other thing is that parents seem to feel guilty about not spending so much time with their kids, so they tend to give more quickly to children’s demands for things like sweets and chocolate.”

Ben Brown. who is a British Member of Parliament, blames the big food companies. He wants to ban any food advertising that is aimed at children. "The problem is that these companies spend millions of pounds selling food to children. It's all crisps (薯片) in the shape of dinosaurs and chocolate in the shape of Mickey Mouse. I mean__what's going to be more fun to an sight-year-old ---an ice cream with a free toy or an apple?"

One food company thinks it has an answer to this: it has invented cheese-flavored cabbage and chocolate-flavored carrots. It developed the "Whacky Veg" with money donated by a cancer research charity, which found that a diet containing lots of fruit and vegetables helps reduce cancer. However, today’s sweet-toothed kids need to be bribed(贿赂)into a healthy diet, and will only cat their greens if they taste different.

1.The underlined word "obese" in Paragraph 1 probably means____.

A. Fit    B. slim

C. overweight    D. unhealthy

2.What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?

A. Food companies sell too much food to children.
