We never knew why my father took over storytelling for his three little girls, but we always suspected that it was to save us from Sleeping Beauty. Walt Disney's masterwork hit the big suburban screens in 1959 with a message for girls as vivid as its widescreen Technirama:If you're pretty enough, a prince will rescue you.
1. take over : If you take over a job or role or if you take over, you become responsible for the job after someone else has stopped doing it.
接替;接受
2. save us from Sleeping Beauty
把我们从睡美人手中救出来
3. suburban
① in or connected with a suburb 郊区的;城外的
② boring and ordinary 平淡乏味的;呆板的
1959年,华特·迪士尼的杰作在乏味的大银幕上大放异彩,向女孩们传达了一个与宽屏技术一样生动的信息:如果你足够漂亮,王子会拯救你。
My father invented a series of bedtime stories featuring three princesses who happened to be just our ages and even looked like us. For some reason, the grown-ups were never around when danger struck. So, night after night, it was up to the three sisters to save the village, which they always managed to do just about the time that one of us fell asleep.
It did occur to us that this village was either highly unfortunate or its adults were incredibly clumsy(笨拙的)that so much fell to these little girls.We saw that our parents wanted us to be strong. These girls didn't need to be rescued. They were watchful, wise, and bold. That was enough.
24. Why did the father create bedtime stories for his three little girls
A. To help them fall asleep. B. To make their life colorful.
C. To encourage them to be strong. D. To get them interested in stories.

5. fall to :to become the duty or responsibility of sb (职责、责任)落在…身上;应由…做
6. watchful: 注意的;警惕的;提防的
But how to carry this storyline into life was not obvious. In my early experience, women were just beginning to be admitted to what had been men - only colleges, and teaching jobs followed. I loved to tell my network about the welcome dinner for new graduate students in the vast,candlelit hall. I sat next to the dean(教务长)of the graduate school, whose first words to me were: "I don't know why the graduate school is now admitting women. You'll all just get married, have babies,and your education will be wasted."After a few days to recover,I began to tell friends this story and found their laughter and support encouraging. Soon,I collected many such stories.
25. What was the dean's attitude towards women's higher education
A. Unsupportive. B.Positive. C. Objective. D. Unclear.
√
1. carry this storyline into life 把这个故事情节带入生活
2. be admitted to 被录取到

Then, one of them hit hard. A colleague I trusted tried to persuade me to quit teaching, because "If you don't leave political science, you'll lose everything typical of women about you". I laughed. While losing someone else's idea of femininity(女性气质)might have seemed a great loss,losing weakness surely was not!The power of that promise supported me. I taught political science for seven more years with a great sense of appreciation for the opportunity, until taking up a job as a journalist, which I loved more.
Still waiting for a prince Be one!
26.Which of the following might the author most agree with

Suppose that we lined up about 14 million United States businesses in order of size, starting with the smallest, along an imaginary road from San Francisco to New York. There will be 4,500 businesses to the mile, or a little less than one per foot.
28. What is the author's main purpose in writing this text
A. To illustrate the size of the US businesses.
B. To show the locations of the US businesses.
C. To explain the largest firms are in New York.
D. To describe how the US businesses are arranged.
√
illustrate:解释,说明
Suppose further that we planted a flag for each business. The height of the flagpole represents the yearly volume(额)of sales-each $10,000 in sales is shown by one foot of pole.
The line of flagpoles is a very interesting sight. From San Francisco to about Reno, it is almost unnoticeable, a row of poles about a foot high. From Reno eastward,the poles increase in height until, near Columbus, Ohio-about 4/5 of the way across the nation-flags fly about 10 feet in the air.
29. Why does the author mention the line of flagpoles
A. To support an idea.
B. To describe a fact.
C. To make a comparison.
D. To introduce a topic.
√
to place sth or yourself firmly in a particular place or position 竖立,安放
But as we approach the eastern terminus(终点),the poles suddenly begin to rise. There are about 300,000 firms in the country with sales over $500,000. These firms take up the last 75 miles of the 3,000-mile road. There are 200,000 firms with sales over $1 million. They take up thelast 50 miles. Then there are 1,000 firms with sales of $50 million or more. They take up the last quarter of a mile before the city limits, flags flying at cloud height,5,000 feet up.
30. Which part of the road has the largest total volume of sales
A. The last 50 miles.
B. The last quarter of a mile.
C. The last 75 miles.
D. The last 100 feet of the last mile.
√
At the very gate of New York, on the last 100 feet of the last mile, we find the 100 largest industrial firms. They have sales of at least $1.5 billion, so that their flags are already miles high. Along the last 10 feet of the road, there are 10 largest companies. Their sales are about $10 billion and up: their flags fly 190 miles in the air.

D
In Frank Schatzing's 2004 novel The Swarm(《群》), sea life develops a collective mind of its own. Whales band together to attack ships, while groups of jellyfish(水母)swallow the shores. It's as if ocean creatures decided to jointly fight humanity to try to get back their environment.
Scientists say that this scene isn't made up. Animals do move in groups governed by the collective. Think of a flock of birds, a line of ants, a group of fish-all crowds like those imagined by Schatzing, if not quite as deadly."Animals regulate these vast collective structures without any leadership, without any individual animal knowing the whole stateof the system," says Nicholas Ouellette, an engineer."And yet it works fantastically well."
1. develop a collective mind of its own
形成了自己的集体思维
2. band together 联合,携手
3. while 尽管
4. swallow 吞噬,吞没,淹没
5. fight humanity
6. make up 编造
7. governed by the collective
由集体管理(作定语)
8. if not quite as deadly 如果不是那么致命的话

Deborah Gordon, a biologist, studies how ants make collective decisions, such as when and where to hunt for food. A red harvester settlement typically has some hunters waiting in the nest while others hunt out. Studying these ants in New Mexico, Gordon showed that they leave the nest at a rate determined by how often hunters return with food. The more food is available, the more often hunters return to the nest; this starts more ants leaving the nest. But if little food is available, the process will throttle down.
1. a red harvester settlement
红收获者蚂蚁定居点
2. hunter 搜集食物蚂蚁
3. determined by how often hunters return with food作后置定语,修饰rate
4. 食物越多,蚂蚁们往返穴的越频繁,这就从更多的蚂蚁离开洞穴开始。但如果食物匮乏,这个过程就会慢下来。

Working with computer scientist Balaji Prabhakar, Gordon found that information flowing among the ants was similar to the way the Internet protocols(协议) regulate the rate of data transport depending on how much bandwidth(宽带)is available. The scientists named this naturally produced algorithm(算法)the "Anternet". The Anternet information seems to help the settlement to search efficiently.

√
Studies of collective behaviour in birds, ants and fish have meanings for humans. Engineers can take lessons from animals that swarm effectively together to build better swarms of small robots.
And understanding how ants collectively adapt to changes in their network, such as when a tree blows down, could help researchers develop flexible rules for robots working in an unfamiliar environment suchas in a burning building. "That's a lesson for engineering," Gordon says.
35. What does this passage mainly talk about
A. Observing nature for interesting engineering.
B. Adapting to the change of the animals’ habitat.
C. Learning from the collective wisdom of animals.
D. Understanding the various behaviours of animals.

Many people might feel lost during a major transition in life. Life coaching, however, is the best choice for anyone who is looking for ways to get through the tough path of life. 36 Some might focus only on certain types of situations, like advancing careers, while others may be willing to help with nearly any life transition.
A life coach will often act as an advisor for his clients(客户). 37 Many times, he will also be able to look at a client's life with a fair eye and offer fresh ideas on certain situations. In doing so, the life coach will usually be able to help his client work through any problems he may face. 38 During this interview, the life coach should find out what the client's wants, needs and goals are in life.

Some life coaches may be able to find employment with a few select universities and corporations. There are also a handful of large life coaching firms that hire life coaches as well. The majority of life coaches, however, work for themselves, opening their own life coaching practices. 40
