When you’re a writer, finishing your boo...

    When you’re a writer, finishing your book and publishing it is your biggest dream. You’re curious as to how people will react to it, and whether it could sell or not.1.There are either things you want to change about it, or fear about people’s reaction. Still, you shouldn’t let these things stop you from going after your dream. Below are some of the most common fears that new writers face, and how to beat them.

Originality

For many new writers, originality is an issue. Considering there are so many writers out there, it’s hard to know if someone thought of an idea before you did.2.And it’s not really pleasant being seen as a thief. The thing is that it’s hard to come out with something that’s entirely original as well. As long as you put the idea into practice in a different way, it shouldn’t be an issue. As long as you are able to cover a topic deeply, as well as provide a new and unique perspective, that should work.

People’s Opinion

It’s hard not to think about what people will think about your book, as they are the ones who have the final word. One of the biggest fears many writers deal with is how their book will be perceived by readers, and it's human nature to think about the bad stuff first. Not only you’re afraid you won’t get Instagram followers that are fans of the book, but you also fear the book won’t sell.3.So why let this thought kill your mood? A book’s goal is to reframe old information or make new claims, so what people say shouldn’t stop you.

No Time to Write

People get busy, it’s normal. Nevertheless, it shouldn’t stop you from doing what you love.4.You can take that time and use it to write instead. Nobody says that you have to write endless pages in a day – writing a book is a whole process, and nobody is rushing you. Make sure you schedule your time, so you have time to write at least one hour daily.

5.

You want fans to connect with you and it can be disheartening when things like your social following grows slowly. Try using tools such as the best tools for Instagram as a means to get followers.

A.Therefore, you’re at risk of being accused of stealing from someone’s work.

B.Growing your fan base.

C.However, there will always be people disagreeing with you or not liking what you do.

D.Don’t let the details stop you from sharing your story.

E.But sometimes it’s hard hitting that post button, because things are holding you back.

F.You most likely have some spare time that you use doing something else.

G.Communicate with your fans.

 

1.E 2.A 3.C 4.F 5.B 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了新手作家在职业生涯中会遇到的一些问题以及解决这些问题的方法。 1. 空格下一句There are either things you want to change about it, or fear about people’s reaction.提到你或者是想对你的书做一些改变,或者是害怕人们对你书的反应。再根据下一句Still, you shouldn’t let these things stop you from going after your dream.可知,你不应该让这些事情阻止你去追求你的梦想。可以推断出空格处应该是在表述你的梦想被阻止了这一主题。E项意为点击投递的按钮很难,因为总有一些事情阻碍你。切题,并且此项中的things和空格后表述的两种情况对应,都是阻碍你追求梦想的因素。故选E项。 2. 空格后句And it’s not really pleasant being seen as a thief.意为“被当成小偷真的很不愉快”。A项Therefore, you’re at risk of being accused of stealing from someone’s work.意为“你可能被指控偷别人的作品”,能够承接下文,正因为你被指控偷别人的作品,所以才会被当成小偷,且stealing与thief形成对应关系。故选A项。 3. 本篇文章为总分结构,空格所在段落的小标题是People’s Opinion,这一段介绍的是作家很害怕人们的看法。C项However, there will always be people disagreeing with you or not liking what you do.和本段主旨相符,意思是总会有人不同意你的看法或不喜欢你做的事。再看空格后句So why let this thought kill your mood?(所以,为什么要让这种想法扼杀你的情绪),正因为总会有人有不同意见,所以不应该让这种想法扼杀你的情绪,C项能够引起下文。故选C项。 4. 空格所在段落的小标题是No Time to Write,这一段与写作时间有关。根据空格前句People get busy, it’s normal. Nevertheless, it shouldn’t stop you from doing what you love.可知,人们很忙,但这不应该阻止你去写作。空格后句You can take that time and use it to write instead.意为“你可以花费这些时间去写作”,F项You most likely have some spare time that you use doing something else.意为“你很可能有一些空闲时间做别的事了”,能够承上启下,且与本段主题相符,并且选项中的spare time和空格后句的that time相呼应。故选F项。 5. 本题需要选择段落小标题,根据本段最后一句Try using tools such as the best tools for Instagram as a means to get followers.可知,你可以尝试用一些工具作为获取追随者的方法,这里的追随者指代的是作家的书迷,所以本段在讲述的话题与获得书迷有关。B项Growing your fan base.(增长你的粉丝基础)切题。故选B项。

    We are surrounded by people trying to make the world a better place. Peace activists bring enemies together so they can get to know one another and feel each other’s pain. School leaders try to attract a diverse set of students so each can understand what it’s like to walk in the others’ shoes.

It is true that people who are empathetic (共情的) are more sensitive to the perspectives and sufferings of others. They are more likely to make sympathetic moral judgments. The problem comes when we try to turn feeling into action. Empathy makes you more aware of other people’s sufferings, but it’s not clear whether it actually motivates you to take moral action or prevents you from taking immoral action. For example, in the early days of the Holocaust, Nazi prison guards sometimes wept as they killed Jewish women and children, but they still did it.

Empathy directs you toward moral action, but it doesn’t seem to help much when that action comes at a personal cost. You may feel painful for the homeless guy on the other side of the street, but the chances are that you are not going to cross the street to give him a dollar. Studies investigating the link between empathy and moral action suggest that empathy is not a major player when it comes to moral motivation. Its contribution is slight in children, modest in adults, and nonexistent when costs are significant.

Nobody is against empathy. However, it’s not enough. These days empathy has become a shortcut. It has become a way to experience delicious moral emotions without confronting the weaknesses in our nature that prevent us from actually acting upon them. It has become a way to experience the illusion (幻觉) of moral progress without having to do the nasty work of making moral judgments. Teaching empathy is a safe way for schools and other institutions to seem blameless without risking dispute or hurting anybody’s feelings.

People who actually perform pro-social action don’t only feel for those who are suffering, they feel it necessary to act by a sense of duty. Empathy is less important. If you want to make the world a better place, help people debate, understand, reform, revere and enact their moral principles. Accept that principles conflict.

1.Why does the author mention the Holocaust in paragraph 2?

A.To show that empathy is limited in preventing people from wrongdoings.

B.To prove that empathic people are more likely to make compassionate moral judgments.

C.To explain that empathy is helpful for moral teaching.

D.To criticize the immoral actions of Nazis.

2.What will empathetic people probably do when they see the homeless?

A.Reach out to them. B.Ignore them.

C.Feel sorry for them. D.Raise money for them.

3.According to paragraph 4, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?

A.People are enthusiastic about empathy.

B.Teaching empathy is a quicker way to achieve moral education.

C.Empathy alone is not sufficient.

D.People are unwilling to take actual actions.

4.According to the author, what’s the best way to make the world a better place?

A.Try to understand what it’s like to walk in the others’ shoes.

B.Be more sensitive to the perspectives and sufferings of others.

C.Stop teaching empathy since it is only a sideshow in moral education.

D.Take on the duty to act and make real moral progress.

    I’ve been teaching college for many years, long enough to note the gradual relaxation of attention in matters of student dress. And I’ve long been used to the worn jeans, flip-flops and shorts. Still, I took note recently when one of my students showed up in pajama bottoms. I couldn’t help asking, “Did you just roll out of bed?” “Five minutes ago.” he responded.

I’m familiar with the school of thought that says that how students dress is not important, so long as they’re learning. This is much the same when they say “Grammar and spelling don’t matter, so long as they’re expressing themselves.” Perhaps. But I also wonder about the wisdom of blurring(模糊)the line between bed and desk. I should think that a careful consideration of clothes before entering a formal environment is a sort of visible reminder to oneself (and one’s teachers) that impressions are important and that we have come together to get down to business.

I suppose that I come from a time when there were “school clothes” and “play clothes,” and never did the two sorts meet. I grew up in a working-class family, to whom “looking sharp” was important. Personal appearance might have made the difference between getting and losing a job. So yes, I’m all for freedom of choice in matters of dress, and yes, I do want my students to be comfortable. But I also want to pay my respects to those students who believe that appearances matter.

I think of this lady I had in class a few years back. She was someone to whom science was never easy: She worked hard for respectable grades on every task. But I was impressed by how tastefully she dressed, day after day. When the course ended, I mentioned this to her. “You always looked so nice,” I remarked“as if you were ready to take on the world.”

1.Which of the following statements is Not True?

A.“Looking sharp” is helpful in getting a job.

B.It is wise to blur the line between bed and desk.

C.Students are being more and more casually dressed.

D.The author believes we should pay some respects to our appearances.

2.What does the “school of thought” mean in paragraph 2?

A.a college that teaches thoughts B.a group of students and teachers

C.a way of thinking D.a branch of learning

3.What do we know about the lady in the last paragraph?

A.She had a talent for science.

B.The author was impressed by her casual dressing.

C.Her grades were not decent though she studied hard.

D.She was one of the students who believed that appearances matter.

    Scott Ward didn't have any risk factors that he knew of for cancer so he ignored the lump on his neck until he couldn't ignore it anymore. Dr. Donald Doll, the doctor who treated Ward for his cancer, said, “We’re seeing more and more younger and healthier patients. They're not smokers or drinkers. It's HPV-related.” “Normally, you think of HPV (乳头瘤病毒), you think of women,” Doll added, “while it's a misconception that only women have to be concerned with cancers caused by this virus.”

Luckily, there's a vaccine (疫苗) that's been around for more than a decade that can protect against the HPV virus. If all boys and girls received it, no one would get HPV-related cancers. The HPV vaccine is best when given to children between 9 and 12 years old, before they are sexually active. But teenagers and young adults can still benefit from the vaccine.

Not everyone who gets the HPV virus develops cancer. But it is a risk factor. The agency says about 14 million people in the U.S. alone become infected with HPV each year. Yet, about half of all U.S. adolescents have not been fully vaccinated against HPV, which requires a series of three shots. The CDC says the side effects are generally short term and not serious. They can include dizziness, headache, fever, pain and etc.

Ward’s recovery was difficult. But he’s now cancer-free. Ward wishes the HPV vaccine existed when he was a teen. He says if he had kids, he would get them vaccinated. “HPV-related cancers are cancers no one needs to get.” Ward said.

1.Who should be worried about HPV-related cancers?

A.Only women. B.Everyone.

C.Younger people. D.Smokers and drinkers.

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A.The HPV vaccine is best when given to teenagers and young adults.

B.About 50% of all adults in America have not been fully vaccinated against HPV.

C.One gets cancer if he or she gets the HPV virus.

D.HPV vaccines have some side effects including dizziness, headache, and etc.

3.Why did Ward say HPV-related cancers were cancers no one needed to get in the last paragraph?

A.It is easy to recover from HPV-related cancers.

B.HPV-related cancers are not that common.

C.HPV-related cancers can be prevented by vaccination.

D.HPV vaccine existed when he was a teen.

One day I saw a girl riding a bike along the street. All of sudden, she knocked down an old man whom was crossing the street. Instead of helping him up, the girl blames him angrily for the accident. Then he rode away even without looking back. A moment late, she found her shoes on the back of the bike missed. She raced back immediately to the spot where the accident was happened. Much to her surprised, she saw the old man waiting for her. The girl felt real ashamed when the old man handed the shoes to her. I think that we shouldn’t do as the girl did to the old man, but that everybody should be kind to each other.
