When we were young, we didn't know what we would overcome. Growing up, I came across a difficulty I had to be patient to overcome. Then I realized if I continued to let the problem hold me back, my dream could never come true. So I changed my focus.
At the age of 13, I fell ill. This illness lasted three years and I missed a lot of schooling. Doctors tried their best to help me, but in the end it was something I just had to be used to. At high school, I had a turning point. I discovered my gift for writing and decided that I wouldn't let anything hold me back anymore. At that time, I suffered and bottled up a lot to the point where writing became my escape from it all.
During my years at college, I had many lessons to catch up on, so I became focused and determined to complete my college courses in three years instead of four due to my illness. At the end of my junior year, I became an honor roll(光荣榜) student. Seeing what I had accomplished, I realized that having disadvantages didn't mean it was impossible to achieve success.
By becoming a writer, I have also become a reader. While performing community service in the library, I would read to those less fortunate or unable to read. From pre-school children to the elderly, I enjoy my time reading to all ages. It's pleasing to see the awesome expressions on their faces as the words became a vision in their minds.

Everglades National Park is located in the state of Florida. It is the largest wilderness in the entire country and makes up 25% of the wetlands in the state. The Everglades is home to several rare and endangered species. It is also the third largest national park in the US, after Death Valley National Park and Yellowstone National Park. Each year, about 1 million tourists visit the park. On a global level, it has been announced as a World Heritage Site.
Unlike most other national parks, Everglades National Park was created to protect an ecosystem from being damaged. In 1947, President Harry Truman spoke at the official opening of Everglades National Park, saying the goal of creating the park was to protect forever a wild area that could never be replaced.
10,000 different islands make up Everglades National Park. There exists natural wildlife on each of these islands. The Everglades is home to about 30 species that are endangered. In addition, more than 350 bird species and 300 species of fresh and saltwater fish live within the park. The Everglades is also home to 40 species of mammals (哺乳动物).
There are many ways to explore the Everglades. Visitors can see alligators (短吻鳄) while hiking the Anhinga Trail. The Everglades is one of the few places on Earth where freshwater alligators and saltwater crocodiles live in the same area. Visitors using airboats are likely to see large groups of birds. Some visitors might enjoy riding bicycles through Shark Valley. Others may want to move slowly through the water where they can see insects and wildlife closely.
According to experts, changes to the Everglades are becoming a danger to several different kinds of wildlife. They say it is a result of actions the US government began more than 50 years ago, and settlers began even earlier.

The life of an actor appears attractive and many young people dream about becoming one. But the truth is, it is very hard work. If you're successful, there are deadlines to be met, appointments to keep and the press to deal with. If you're not successful, then life is extremely tough.
I remember when I started out, I had to search the advertisement board at my drama school every day to look for acting jobs. Drama school was expensive and I needed extra cash to help pay the fees. I welcomed every small job. I played extras in many crowd scenes and became a confident participant in a lot of TV commercials for hair shampoo, soap and washing powder.
I had been working for about two years before I got my lucky break. One day, as I was passing the drama school, I decided to go in to check the notice board. There was nothing on it and I was just leaving when the secretary came along the corridor with a piece of paper. She asked me how I was and I told her life was hard and work was difficult to find. The next moment, she put the paper in my hand and walked away. My hands were shaking as I unfolded the paper, full of expectation. To my surprise, it was an audition (试演) for a clown (小丑) for the Canadian circus. I couldn't stop myself from laughing. I had expected an audition with a famous director for a new film!
When I was at drama school, there had been a course in acrobatics and clown tricks. I had gained top marks in this course for originality and daring. Later I went to the audition feeling very strange. This was not what I'd had in mind when I enrolled in drama school. To my surprise, the job as a clown turned out to be exactly what I wanted. I loved every moment of getting dressed up and putting on the make-up. I had the opportunity to travel the world and I was more than an actor, I was an entertainer as well. I had visited over 32 different countries and entertained millions of people.
52.According to paragraph 3, the writer went into the drama school ________.
A. to look for a job
B. to see the secretary
C. to collect a piece of paper
D. to put a notice on the notice board
53.Which of the following can best describe the author's feeling when he unfolded the paper
A. Extremely frightened. B. Nervous but excited.
C. Very worried. D. Grateful but disappointed.
54.From the whole passage, we can tell that the writer is ___________.
A. sad that he was not a famous actor
B. happy to travel the world
C. very content with his life
D. feeling very strange to be a clown
55.Which of the following would be the best title
A. The Life of a TV Actor B. More than an Actor
C. Acrobatics and Clown Tricks D. Going to Drama School

Positive Ways the World May Change After Coronavirus
More flexibility in workplaces
Many businesses can in fact thrive with a remote workforce. mutes (通勤) often “wastes” time when you could get more work done or do other things you enjoy more. Therefore, companies that allow remote work actually gain goodwill because they understand the value of freedom and flexibility.
Healthier lifestyle habits
More flexibility and reduced commuting mean people can find more time to exercise as well—even if it’s at home rather than at the gym. 57. And although restaurants have opened back up, those who discovered the joy of cooking will be likely to continue to make healthy, home-cooked meals for their family.
More likely to improve the environment
Shortly after the lockdown began in Wuhan, carbon emissions dropped around 25 percent and the result was visible from space. 58. However, seeing the possibilities may serve as motivation for better conservation of the planet.
Stronger family connections
During lockdown, families created bonds that are likely to remain strong. Since you’re home anyway, there’s no excuse not to have dinner together. Families are also returning to classic activities like movie nights and outdoor nature adventures. They give you opportunities to create a lot of openings for connection on a deeper and more meaningful level. 59.
___60 .

We need you guys to do the same thing tonight. I want everything you're going to bring put out in the living room before you go to bed. Before you pack everything though, you need to put aside the clothes for tomorrow. I don't want to wait for you to search for other clothes or to unpack your bag to get something. Our flight is at 7 am, and it will take about a half hour to get to the airport from here. We'll probably need another hour to get through security. Also, I know I said that we would go out for our meal tonight, but there is just too much to do. I asked your father to pick up some Chinese food for dinner instead. I can't be bothered to cook something since I just cleaned everything. If you want a specific dish at the restaurant, you will need to call your father. Otherwise, he will just pick up something that we can all share. Are you clear on everything I said
