“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. “If you can carry on, one day something good will happen.” After graduating from college in 1932, I decided to try for a job as a sports announcer (播音员) on the radio. I took the bus to Chicago and knocked on the door of every radio station. But I was refused every time. In one studio, a nice lady told me that big radio stations didn’t want to accept inexperienced (没经验的) persons. “Go to the countryside and find a small station that’ll give you a chance,” she said. I returned home, Dixon in Illinois. My father said Smith Ward had opened a store and wanted a local sportsman to manage its sports department. Since I had played high school football in Dixon, I applied. The job sounded just right for me, but I still failed in the interview. As I left his office, I felt sad. I asked aloud, “How can a man become a sports announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station?” I was waiting for the lift when I heard Smith Ward calling, “What did you say about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he made me stand before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary (想象的) game. As a result, I did a wonderful job and was told to broadcast Saturday’s game! On my way home, I thought of my mother’s words again: Everything happens for the best if you carry on. One day something good will happen. 1.When did the writer graduate from college? A.In 1931. B.In 1932. C.In 1933. D.In 1934. 2.The nice lady suggested that the writer should look for a job in ________. A.a small station B.a big station C.a small city D.a big city 3.Who opened a store and wanted a local sportsman? A.The writer. B.Smith Marx. C.The writer’s father. D.Smith Ward. 4.Finally, the writer was asked to broadcast ________. A.Thursday’s game B.Friday’s game C.Saturday’s game D.Sunday’s game 5.According to the text, “Everything happens for the best if you carry on” means that ________. A.you will make money if you keep on trying B.you will lose money if you keep on trying C.you will succeed if you keep on trying D.you will fail if you keep on trying

You don’t have to break your back to create a yard that’s both beautiful and kind to Mother Nature. These environmentally smart ideas will turn your home turf (草地) into a small garden. 1. Let the grass grow. Cut grass less often, 2.. It will help grass survive dry periods of time in warmer months. That’s because roots will grow deeper and grass thicker, which means fewer pests, less disease, and a decreased need for chemical intervention. 3.. You can act before 10 a.m, when the air is cool. Watering in late afternoon is the next good choice. Water near the base of plants, slowly delivering the good stuff right to the roots. For lawns, water long and deep once a week. Get keen on composting（肥料）. Compost isn’t called gardener’s gold for nothing. It keeps kitchen leftover out of landfills and enriched soil with much-needed nutrients. 4. Vegetables and tea bags, eggshells, dry leaves are all fair game. Give bees the green-carpet treatment Honeybees help pollinate（授粉）75 percent of the flowering plants and nearly 75 percent of food crops. Scientists say many important pollinators are disappearing. Creating a garden with plants which flower at different times of the year will benefit pollinators throughout the growing season.5.. A.Water the right way. B.Many will save your money too. C.Dry leaves add nutrients to the soil. D.Make the backyard as beautiful as possible. E.so it gets a few inches longer than you’re used to. F.It also reduces dependency on chemical fertilizers. G.Whenever possible, choose native plants with a variety of flower colors and shapes.
The world’s elderly population is increasing. The number of older people ---those age 60 years or older ---is expected to double by 2050 and is growing faster than all younger age groups across the globe. That comes with an increasing need for caregivers which can provide 24-hour care, not only at hospitals or nursing homes, but also at private homes. Already, caregiving robots are programmed to ask questions a nurse would ask and can keep an eye on patients for falls. These robotic assistants are expected to become increasingly marketable and reach 450,000 by 2045 because of the expected caregiver shortage in the USA. “Unluckily, the hard structure of present caregiving robots prevents them from a safe human-robot interaction(互动), limiting their assistance to only social interaction and not physical interaction,” said Ramses Martinez, an assistant professor in Purdue’s College of Engineering . “After all, would you leave babies or old people in the hands of a robot?” Recent advances in material science have enabled the production of soft robots with deformable (可变形的) bodies or the ability to reshape when touched , but today the complex design prevents the use of this technology at home . However, Martinez and other researchers have developed a new design method which shows promise in enabling the production of soft robots using a 3D printer. “The soft machines move like humans. Their ability to change their body structure and movement to adapt ( 适应 ) to a wide variety of environments will improve caregiving greatly,” says Martinez . The researchers are looking for partners to test and bring their technology to market. 1.What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A.The younger age group B.The group of older people C.The population across the globe D.The growth of the elderly population 2.What is the disadvantage of the present caregiving robots? A.They can’t provide safe physical interaction B.They can’t communicate with patients C.They can’t watch patients for falls D.They can’t provide 24-hour care. 3.What do we know about Martinez’s new design method? A.It requires a special kind of 3D printer. B.It makes the production of soft robots simpler. C.It has been put onto the market. D.It is hard for users to master. 4.What is the text mainly about? A.The robot industry in the future B.Effects of population ageing C.Robots for the elderly created with 3D printers D.The development of caregiving robots
It’s a common belief that the roles actors play might somehow reflect their true personalities. It’s usually not true, but British actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge, 34, is an exception. In September,2019 Waller-Bridge took home three Emmy awards for her work on Fleabag–--- best writing in a comedy series, best lead actress, and best comedy series. Her success is partly because of her family. Descended（遗传） from British nobility, Waller-Bridge was brought up in a free environment. Her mother always told her, “You can be whatever you want if you imagine it.” So Waller-Bridge broke all the rules about what a “good” girl should do. “Our laws and moral codes don’t apply – she lives ... without fear of consequence,” The Sun noted. That fearlessness extends to being authentic（真实的） in her writing and acting. Unlike the can-do heroines and strong, successful women in many TV dramas, Waller-Bridge shows an imperfect but real character. Just like the character Fleabag, who always found a way to say or do the wrong thing, Waller-Bridge feels her life is a mess. “It resonated（共鸣） with the lives of stressed-out women everywhere in reality – doing their best to find balance in their lives,” a viewer wrote on US movie website IMDb. Variety magazine even calls her an “all-around icon”. Villanelle in Killing Eve, another hit TV series developed by Waller-Bridge, was a little bit violent but showed no interest for the rules others created, which made many people see themselves in her. “People have been scared to write characters like these. But I think, now, women are so relieved to have this new template（样板，人设）. And, aren’t we all a bit of everything?”Waller-Bridge said in an interview with Indian Express. With such courage and sincerity, Waller-Bridge is, without a doubt, a “golden girl” in Hollywood, Australian news website The New Daily commented. 1.What is Waller-Bridge good at ? A.performing B.writing reports C.directing films D.designing 2.From Paragraph 3 we can know ______________. A.Waller-Bridge family results in her achievements. B.Waller-Bridge’s mother gave her encouragement. C.Waller-Bridge grew up in a rich home. D.Waller-Bridge is a bad girl in nature. 3.Who definitely interviewed Waller-Bridge according to the passage? A.The Sun B.Variety magazine C.Indian Express D.The New Daily 4.Which is the most impressive characteristic of Waller-Bridge according to the media? A.Being brave B.Being talented C.Being hardworking D.Staying true

If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language? According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power.Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter.This is the area of the brain which processes information.It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the better the effect is. A team led by Dr.Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English.They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners. Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language.But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was. “Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills.“Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,”he said.“You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.” The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between two and 34.Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested.The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better.“Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists. 1.The main subject talked about in this passage is_________.

I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled(贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other. War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming. “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder. The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled(爬under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart. Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.” Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on. 1.What made Kate so angry one evening?

It took multiple weddings for Christine Law to realize what she needed to do. In the summer of 2014, her schedule was packed with friends, marriage celebrations—flowers --- filled occasions that got her thinking, “Where do all the flowers go after the party?” More often than not, they were thrown out. Law, then 27, was confident she could find a better use for them. By August, she had a plan: convince couples and companies hosting events to donate their flowers, which she would pick up and deliver within 48 hours to seniors across the city. She wanted to bring beauty into the lives of the elderly. She drew on her experience volunteering with non-profits in order to set up her own organization, which she called Floranthropie. Not having enough bouquets (花束) for all 150 people of a health center, Law asked the staff to provide a list of patients who needed cheering up most, “The first woman I approached thought it was a mistake, and that the flowers couldn’t possibly be for her,” says Law. “I said they were a gift, and we talked for a half hour.” In addition to health centers, Floranthropie focuses on community groups devoted to the elderly. Theleme is a volunteer for Les Petits Fieres, an organization that aims to help the elderly who don’t have a support system. The group receives a dozen or so bouquets from Floranthropie monthly, and then redistributes them. “Our motto is ‘flowers before bread,” says Theleme. “We don’t focus on primary care, but rather on nourishing (滋养) the spirit. Floranthropie helps that. It’s amazing what a big difference a small bouquet can make.” In the beginning, most of Floranthropie’s donations came through word of mouth. These days, Law receives messages from strangers via her organization’s Facebook page and has connected with corporations and flower wholesalers. Law hopes to expand Floranthropie nationally, but at this point is happy to be able to oversee each delivery personally. 1.What made Christine Law set up Floranthropie? A. The Waste of flowers. B. The loneliness of seniors. C. The persuasion of other friends. D. The warm atmosphere of weddings. 2.What was the woman’s first reaction to Christine Law’s flowers? A. She was moved. B. She was excited. C. She was worried. D. She was surprised. 3.What can we infer about Floranthropie from Laetitia Theleme’s words? A. It should focus on primary care. B. It is benefiting more than the elderly. C. It is doing something of great importance. D. It should cooperate with more non-profits. 4.What is the best title for the text? A. Volunteer Your Time B. Don’t Throw Them Out C. Special Delivery Makes Your Day D. Brighten Seniors’ Lives With Flowers

Some people would go through anything just to achieve their dream. Kasia Siwosz is proof. Born in Poland, Siwosz began playing tennis at seven years old and developed the skills that helped her earn a top-50 ranking among the ITF Junior division (国际网球联会青少年赛). Siwosz wanted to do more with her life than just play tennis, which led her to seek chances that would also allow her to obtain a top education. “There’s no collegiate (大学的) sports in Poland and no culture of sports and academic study there. You can only do one, not both,” Siwosz said. Her desire to have a quality education led her to America to follow her dream. While Siwosz was talented enough to begin her collegiate tennis career, she could only attend community college because she missed the deadline to apply to four-year schools, mainly due to misinformation provided in her home country of Poland. When she had earned all her credits and was able to transfer, Siwosz made the decision to attend Baylor in Texas. Her friends from Poland put in a good word for the university, saying that it was a good fit because there were many international players at Baylor. “I thought it would be a good idea, but it really wasn’t what I thought it would be,” Siwosz said. “I wasn’t happy at Baylor. The level of tennis was high, but the academic standards were no match and I just wanted more.” After one year at Baylor, Siwosz’s luck finally began to change when she made the decision to transfer to Berkeley, which was due in large part to Lee, a former Berkeley student. Lee, who is a keen tennis player himself, met Siwosz four years ago in Texas. “I knew she was unhappy there,” he said. “I saw the opportunity for her to come here.” Siwosz visited Lee in Berkeley. “I ended up loving this place and this school,” Siwosz said. “I came here a lot over the summer, I gave it a shot and I ended up with a Berkeley education and a spot on one of the best college tennis teams in the country.” 1.Why did Siwosz want to leave her homeland for America? A.Poland had no culture of sports. B.Berkeley had always been her dream university. C.She wanted to play tennis and have a good education. D.She wanted to improve her tennis skills and get a higher ranking. 2.Why didn’t Siwosz take Baylor as her first choice when she first arrived in America? A.The level of tennis in Baylor was not high. B.It was too late for her to apply to a school like Baylor. C.Her home country of Poland forbade her to Baylor. D.Baylor was not suitable for international students. 3.How did Siwosz feel in Berkeley? A.She was unhappy there. B.She had difficulty in keep up with others. C.She enjoyed studying there. D.She regretted going there. 4.What is the main idea of the passage? A.How Siwosz realized her dream. B.How Siwosz left Poland. C.How Siwosz became a tennis player. D.How Siwosz transferred from Baylor to Berkeley.
Princess quiz time! How did Snow White survive? How did Cinderella (《灰姑娘》) leave her evil stepmother? How did Sleeping Beauty finally wake up? A kind-hearted person always comes to save the princess, like a prince or a godmother. Princesses cannot protect themselves, though they are very pretty and nice. They always need the help of others. However, in fact, women can’t put their life in the hands of a prince-like man. They need to work and even fight for their own happiness. The traditional image (形象) of a princess is getting out of date. Recently, Disney, a company famous for its princess movies, posted the “top 10 rules for being a modern princess”. You will not find any rules related to beauty or looks. The rules highlight loyalty, honesty and other moral values. The rules say princesses need to believe in themselves and try their best to get out of trouble, instead of waiting for a prince’s help. It’s not the first time Disney princesses have caught up with society’s development. In 1950, when people’s hearts were broken by World War II, Disney created Cinderella. In 1990, Princess Belle from Beauty and the Beast (《美女与野兽》) loved reading when education was a man’s special right in the past. Belle showed the improvement of women’s position in society. Now is Elsa from the film Frozen (《冰雪奇缘》), a symbol of modern princess. “This is brilliant — ‘The top 10 rules of being a modern princess’ — (it’s) about time,” a group named Confidently Mom said on social media website Twitter. Princesses are still very beautiful, but inner character is the key to being a princess. 1.What should modern women be like according to para2? A.They should care about their appearances. B.They should turn to others for help. C.They should depend on men to change their lives. D.They should depend on themselves for their own happiness. 2.What are Disney’s rules for a modern princess centered on ? A.Her beauty. B.Her moral values. C.Her education. D.Her position in society. 3.Why has Disney been changing the images of a princess according to para4? A.To meet the need of the world peace. B.To improve girls’ education. C.To improve girl’s position in society. D.To keep up with the development of society. 4.What does the group Confidently Mom think of the rules? A.Doubtful. B.Meaningless. C.Fantastic. D.Terrible.
