In order to be recognized by the U.S.Small Business Administration（SBA），you have to be doing something right.Since Sheryl Page,president and CEO of Page One Consultants in Orlando,was named Woman-owned Small Business Person of the Year by the State of Florida SBA in 2017，a lot of people have started to look at what she's doing and how her company has become so successful.
Page,who runs an engineering and construction consulting firm,started the business back in 1993，but sort of dragged along for many years with no big success.There were plenty of times when Page could have thrown in the towel，but she kept pushing through.
Starting out in an industry mainly made up of male-owned businesses wasn't easy,nor was the potential of finding enough money to support the quality services she had to provide client（客户）with.Page used as many as 15 credit cards to help the company stay in business in the early-to-mid 1990s.Then,she received a ﹩250，000 SBA guaranteed loan in 2001 to keep the company afloat after nearly a decade in business.
Since then,the company has doubled profits,hired more than two dozen new team members,acquired more than a dozen new company vehicles,and almost doubled its square footage.It's a huge growth increase for a company that's been around for nearly 25 years and speaks of the hard work and commitment of Page and her team.
When asked what her biggest piece of advice to small business owners would be,Page says,"Keep your faith and be patient.Don't give up…don't quit!" Those words have been heard in many cases and do sound cliché（陈词滥调），but when they come from someone like Sheryl Page,who is living proof of the good that can come from being patient,they ring truer than ever.If you learn anything from her company's success,it should be that growth is rarely immediate,but that doesn't mean it isn't coming.
4. What does the underlined part "thrown in the towel" in paragraph 2 probably mean？ ______
A. Given up. B. Sought help.
C. Come to a new level. D. Taken up something else.
5. In what situation did Page start her consulting business？ ______
A. When there were few wise clients.
B. When the whole business was slow.
C. When it didn't have much development potential.
D. When businesswomen were not generally accepted.
6. What did Page do after she got the loan？ ______
A. She started working for the SBA.
B. She put it into expanding her business.
C. She used most of it to start another company.
D. She first increased the team members' income.
7. What does the author think of the advice mentioned in the last paragraph？ ______
A. It isn't detailed.
B. It isn't in line with the truth.
C. It can have an immediate effect.
D. It mirrors Page's personal experiences.

An advance in electronic publishing could make the e-book you are reading seem as dated as silent film.Publishers hope to explore the growing success of e-books by releasing versions with added soundtracks（电影配音） and musical accompaniments.
The noises in the first multimedia books-released in Britain on Friday-include rain hitting a window in a Sherlock Holmes tale.When the plot of a book reaches the most exciting part,background scores will create tension.
Supporters argue that sound effects are the next logical development for e-books and will add excitement for younger readers.Critics,however,will argue that the noise will ruin the simple pleasure of having the imagination stimulated by reading.
Caroline Michel,chief executive of the literary agency,said the new generation of computer literate readers was used to multiple sensory input.She said,"Young people have split computer screens where they may be watching television and replying to an email at the same time.If that's what the market wants then we should respond to the market."
Booktrack's sound effects work by estimating the users reading speed.Each time you "turn" a page,the software reassesses where you have reached in the text and times the sounds to switch on accordingly.If the soundtrack becomes out of synch（同步），a click on any word will reset it.Some authors fear that a soundtrack could destroy the peace and quiet of libraries and ruin the pleasure of reading.David Nicholls,author of One Day,the bestseller now released as a film,said,"This sounds like the opposite of reading.I have enough trouble reading an e-book because I'm constantly distracted by emails."
Stuart MacBride,the crime writer whose novel Shatter the Bones was an e-book bestseller,sells 18% of his books as electronic downloads.He said,"If I'm reading,I will do the noise in my head.I don't need someone to tell me what tea cups clinking sounds like.That would irritate（激怒）me."
8. What do publishers expect an e-book soundtrack to do？ ______
A. Help to release an e-book as a film.
B. Help readers improve reading speed.
C. Add tension at a book's exciting point.
D. Get readers familiar with the background.
9. Who is in favour of added soundtracks for e-books？ ______
A. Mr.Darcy. B. Caroline Michel.
C. David Nicholls. D. Stuart Mac Bride.
10. What do we know about Stuart Mac Bride？ ______
A. He was a person who was easy to get angry.
B. He knew a great deal about tea and tea culture.
C. Eighty-two percent of his books described crime.
D. He imagined sounds related to the story when reading.
11. What's the main idea of the passage？ ______
A. Opinions about e-books with soundtracks.
B. Response to the need of the book market.
C. Reasons for traditional e-books becoming outdated.
D. Suggestions on encouraging readers' imagination.
D
Life on the International Space Station（ISS）—the place where astronauts dwell（居住）in space-differs from that on Earth.For example,astronauts have to rely on the ISS' life support system,which provides oxygen and absorbs carbon dioxide.But sometimes astronauts need to deal with unusual air leaks.
Normally,the ISS releases a small amount of air each day to rid the harmful gases.But recently,the air seemed to be leaking at a slightly higher rate than usual,which became a cause for concern,according to MSN.The three crew members currently on board are staying in the Russian segment（舱段）of the ISS temporarily while NASA tries to find the origin of the leak in the US segment.
This isn't the first time that an air leak has occurred on the ISS.On Aug 29，2018，an air leak was discovered on the ISS.Fortunately,six people on board found a hole measuring 2 millimeters in diameter on Soyuz MS-09，a Russian spacecraft temporarily docked with the ISS.The astronauts patched the hole with tape.But the question remains：What can cause holes in the hard surface of spacecrafts？Space debris（碎片）can.
In low orbit,space debris circles around Earth at speeds between 7 to 8 kilometers per second.Because of the high speed,it can penetrate the surface of the ISS.A NASA report submitted to the US Congress said the ISS has a 55-percent chance of being penetrated by some sort of space debris,according to the website New Scientist.However,finding a tiny hole is not easy.
The ISS measures some 109 meters by about 73 meters,roughly the size of a soccer field.So how do astronauts find a tiny hole in such a large area？
When air leaks occur,astronauts seal off various sections of the ISS to narrow down the area.Once the location of the leak is found,it is closed and the pressure on each side is checked.
This is exactly what NASA is doing now.The US space agency has been trying to find the hole,which is equivalent to "finding pinholes in a large airliner"，Xinhua News Agency noted.
12. What can we know about the recent air leak？ ______
A. It has exposed astronauts to harmful gases.
B. More gas than usual is leaking in the ISS.
C. It is happening in the Russian segment.
D. NASA has already found the origin of the leak.
13. What can we learn from the text about the air leak in 2018？ ______
A. It was due to the docking of spacecrafts.
B. The hole was found on the surface of the ISS.
C. It was repaired with tape by crew members.
D. Space debris was found in the spacecraft.
14. What is the main idea of paragraph 4？ ______
A. What causes space debris.
B. What the surface of the ISS is like.
C. Why space debris can cause air leaks.
D. How to find holes made by space debris.
15. It can be inferred from the text that the biggest challenge in repairing the leak is ______ .
A. finding the origin of the leak
B. closing various segments of the ISS
C. patching the hole with tape
D. checking the pressure of the sections
We all do little things to boost the way we feel and think throughout the day.Something as simple as taking a walk or eating a piece of chocolate can brighten your mood almost instantly,thanks to certain chemical reactions that occur in the brain. (1) If you're going through something complex,you need a more permanent practice.That's where writing comes in.
As Mental Health Awareness Month begins,it's worth learning about the ways that you can use writing to support your mental well-being. (2)
Use writing for mindfulness.Mindfulness is a tried-and-true technique for improving mental wellness,but can writing have the same effect？ (3) By focusing on a particular moment and getting it all out there on the page,you can free yourself from any of the other concerns that are crowding your mind.This way,you can use writing as an approach to mindfulness and as a way of relieving stress.
Another benefit to writing is its ability to clear your mind of worries,negative thoughts,or sources of pain. (4) Fortunately,writing can speed up the process of restoring mental clarity. (5) People were more likely to talk to others about a painful event after writing about it privately,which powerfully suggests that writing can indirectly lead to reaching out for support,which can mean even greater healing and relief.
Through the process of populating a blank page with letters and words,writing can be a useful mental health tool that both records your experiences and allows you to work through them.
A.Become more self-aware.
B.These pleasures are just temporary,however.
C.There's real power behind the pen - here's why.
D.Writing is also the best method of self-care treatment.
E.Clearing your brain of negative thoughts can be really tough work.
F.Actually,the act of writing for a mere 20 minutes each day can work.
G.This is because writing tends to stimulate questions about your life and direction.

Many years ago,my father,who was 80 at that time,arrived for his regular two-week visit at my home in Karachi.He lived with my elder brother in Lahore most of the time and for ten years had stuck to his habit of going for an hour-long morning walk to keep fit.In Lahore,he would walk around a park that is quite close to my brother's house.Naturally,he was keen to continue his morning walk while with us in Karachi.
Our preferred park is a 2 km walk from my house and it has a l km walking track.I could not drive him there every day as I had to leave for the office at the same time he wanted to set out.Since there are hardly any footpaths in Karachi,my father said he was delighted to walk on the road as he was certain there wouldn't be much traffic in the morning.
I was less confident so I suggested it would be safer if he changed his walk time to the evening.That way I could take him to the park after work.However,my father-a determined person-said that he could not change his routine for just a few days and insisted that he would be leaving the house every day at 7 am and returning by 8 am.He started doing this and stuck firmly to his schedule.So one day when he had not returned by 8：30 am,my wife,Qaisa,phoned me in a panic.Worried,I immediately drove home,taking the same route that my father would have taken for his walk.
Not spotting him anywhere,I went to the police station to report my father's disappearance.The station house officer advised me to wait until midnight before filling the report.Since it was only 10 am,I drove back to the park,in the hope of discovering some trace,but in vain.Totally at a loss for what to do next,I returned home and waited impatiently,walking back and forth in the house.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

The noises in the first multimedia books-released in Britain on Friday-include rain hitting a window in a Sherlock Holmes tale.When the plot of a book reaches the most exciting part,background scores will create tension.
Supporters argue that sound effects are the next logical development for e-books and will add excitement for younger readers.Critics,however,will argue that the noise will ruin the simple pleasure of having the imagination stimulated by reading.
Caroline Michel,chief executive of the literary agency,said the new generation of computer literate readers was used to multiple sensory input.She said,"Young people have split computer screens where they may be watching television and replying to an email at the same time.If that's what the market wants then we should respond to the market."
Booktrack's sound effects work by estimating the users reading speed.Each time you "turn" a page,the software reassesses where you have reached in the text and times the sounds to switch on accordingly.If the soundtrack becomes out of synch（同步），a click on any word will reset it.Some authors fear that a soundtrack could destroy the peace and quiet of libraries and ruin the pleasure of reading.David Nicholls,author of One Day,the bestseller now released as a film,said,"This sounds like the opposite of reading.I have enough trouble reading an e-book because I'm constantly distracted by emails."
Stuart MacBride,the crime writer whose novel Shatter the Bones was an e-book bestseller,sells 18% of his books as electronic downloads.He said,"If I'm reading,I will do the noise in my head.I don't need someone to tell me what tea cups clinking sounds like.That would irritate（激怒）me."
8. What do publishers expect an e-book soundtrack to do？ ______
A. Help to release an e-book as a film.
B. Help readers improve reading speed.
C. Add tension at a book's exciting point.
D. Get readers familiar with the background.
9. Who is in favour of added soundtracks for e-books？ ______
A. Mr.Darcy. B. Caroline Michel.
C. David Nicholls. D. Stuart Mac Bride.
10. What do we know about Stuart Mac Bride？ ______
A. He was a person who was easy to get angry.
B. He knew a great deal about tea and tea culture.
C. Eighty-two percent of his books described crime.
D. He imagined sounds related to the story when reading.
11. What's the main idea of the passage？ ______
A. Opinions about e-books with soundtracks.

C. Reasons for traditional e-books becoming outdated.
D. Suggestions on encouraging readers' imagination.

Life on the International Space Station（ISS）—the place where astronauts dwell（居住）in space-differs from that on Earth.For example,astronauts have to rely on the ISS' life support system,which provides oxygen and absorbs carbon dioxide.But sometimes astronauts need to deal with unusual air leaks.
Normally,the ISS releases a small amount of air each day to rid the harmful gases.But recently,the air seemed to be leaking at a slightly higher rate than usual,which became a cause for concern,according to MSN.The three crew members currently on board are staying in the Russian segment（舱段）of the ISS temporarily while NASA tries to find the origin of the leak in the US segment.
This isn't the first time that an air leak has occurred on the ISS.On Aug 29，2018，an air leak was discovered on the ISS.Fortunately,six people on board found a hole measuring 2 millimeters in diameter on Soyuz MS-09，a Russian spacecraft temporarily docked with the ISS.The astronauts patched the hole with tape.But the question remains：What can cause holes in the hard surface of spacecrafts？Space debris（碎片）can.
In low orbit,space debris circles around Earth at speeds between 7 to 8 kilometers per second.Because of the high speed,it can penetrate the surface of the ISS.A NASA report submitted to the US Congress said the ISS has a 55-percent chance of being penetrated by some sort of space debris,according to the website New Scientist.However,finding a tiny hole is not easy.
The ISS measures some 109 meters by about 73 meters,roughly the size of a soccer field.So how do astronauts find a tiny hole in such a large area？
When air leaks occur,astronauts seal off various sections of the ISS to narrow down the area.Once the location of the leak is found,it is closed and the pressure on each side is checked.
This is exactly what NASA is doing now.The US space agency has been trying to find the hole,which is equivalent to "finding pinholes in a large airliner"，Xinhua News Agency noted.
12. What can we know about the recent air leak？ ______
A. It has exposed astronauts to harmful gases.
B. More gas than usual is leaking in the ISS.
C. It is happening in the Russian segment.
D. NASA has already found the origin of the leak.
13. What can we learn from the text about the air leak in 2018？ ______
A. It was due to the docking of spacecrafts.
B. The hole was found on the surface of the ISS.
C. It was repaired with tape by crew members.
D. Space debris was found in the spacecraft.
14. What is the main idea of paragraph 4？ ______
A. What causes space debris.
B. What the surface of the ISS is like.
C. Why space debris can cause air leaks.
D. How to find holes made by space debris.
15. It can be inferred from the text that the biggest challenge in repairing the leak is ______ .
A. finding the origin of the leak
B. closing various segments of the ISS
C. patching the hole with tape
D. checking the pressure of the sections
We all do little things to boost the way we feel and think throughout the day.Something as simple as taking a walk or eating a piece of chocolate can brighten your mood almost instantly,thanks to certain chemical reactions that occur in the brain. (1) If you're going through something complex,you need a more permanent practice.That's where writing comes in.
As Mental Health Awareness Month begins,it's worth learning about the ways that you can use writing to support your mental well-being. (2)
Use writing for mindfulness.Mindfulness is a tried-and-true technique for improving mental wellness,but can writing have the same effect？ (3) By focusing on a particular moment and getting it all out there on the page,you can free yourself from any of the other concerns that are crowding your mind.This way,you can use writing as an approach to mindfulness and as a way of relieving stress.
Another benefit to writing is its ability to clear your mind of worries,negative thoughts,or sources of pain. (4) Fortunately,writing can speed up the process of restoring mental clarity. (5) People were more likely to talk to others about a painful event after writing about it privately,which powerfully suggests that writing can indirectly lead to reaching out for support,which can mean even greater healing and relief.
Through the process of populating a blank page with letters and words,writing can be a useful mental health tool that both records your experiences and allows you to work through them.
A.Become more self-aware.
B.These pleasures are just temporary,however.
C.There's real power behind the pen - here's why.
D.Writing is also the best method of self-care treatment.
E.Clearing your brain of negative thoughts can be really tough work.
F.Actually,the act of writing for a mere 20 minutes each day can work.
G.This is because writing tends to stimulate questions about your life and direction.

Many years ago,my father,who was 80 at that time,arrived for his regular two-week visit at my home in Karachi.He lived with my elder brother in Lahore most of the time and for ten years had stuck to his habit of going for an hour-long morning walk to keep fit.In Lahore,he would walk around a park that is quite close to my brother's house.Naturally,he was keen to continue his morning walk while with us in Karachi.
Our preferred park is a 2 km walk from my house and it has a l km walking track.I could not drive him there every day as I had to leave for the office at the same time he wanted to set out.Since there are hardly any footpaths in Karachi,my father said he was delighted to walk on the road as he was certain there wouldn't be much traffic in the morning.
I was less confident so I suggested it would be safer if he changed his walk time to the evening.That way I could take him to the park after work.However,my father-a determined person-said that he could not change his routine for just a few days and insisted that he would be leaving the house every day at 7 am and returning by 8 am.He started doing this and stuck firmly to his schedule.So one day when he had not returned by 8：30 am,my wife,Qaisa,phoned me in a panic.Worried,I immediately drove home,taking the same route that my father would have taken for his walk.
Not spotting him anywhere,I went to the police station to report my father's disappearance.The station house officer advised me to wait until midnight before filling the report.Since it was only 10 am,I drove back to the park,in the hope of discovering some trace,but in vain.Totally at a loss for what to do next,I returned home and waited impatiently,walking back and forth in the house.
