Brianna was just 12 years old when her mother became severely ill, allowing her to know what it was like to care for someone else. Although many members of her family were nurses, taking care of her mom was what influenced her the most and helped her decide to become a nurse.
After she didn't get into UW Eau Claire's nursing program the first two times she applied, Brianna began exploring potential careers. She took several business classes, but quickly realized that business wasn't the right fit for her and her real passion was in nursing. She applied to nursing again, and finally started the nursing program in the fall of 2019.
She was just months into her first semester as a nursing major when she hit the next bump in the road. In November 2019, Brianna became extremely ill, with symptoms ranging from difficult breathing to a high fever and a cough. Eventually, breathing became so difficult that she had to go to the emergency room therefore, Brianna could not attend classes the rest of the fall 2019 semester, focusing instead on regaining her mental and physical health.
While Brianna was still in hospital, she already had connected with fellow nursing majors as well as professors, who worked closely with her to make sure she stayed on course. Those connections made all the difference when she was trying to stay on track to graduation despite her illness.
In the spring, COVID 19 added additional obstacles (障碍) to her college journey, forcing her to find new ways to manage her time and keep herself motivated. What's worse, she also was laid off from her part time job when stores closed, making it more difficult to pay for college.
Despite all those obstacles, Brianna is on track to graduate with her nursing classmates in December the next year and already is planning for what comes after she earns her bachelor's degree in nursing.

Everybody, at some point in their lives, has experienced failure. It could be something as simple as not getting the job you wanted, or getting fewer marks even after hard work. But what makes you is not your failure, but how you get back up after being hit.
Once, a young school boy was caught in a fire accident in his school and was assumed that he would not live. His mother was told that he was sure to die, for the terrible fire had destroyed the lower half of his body. Even if he were to survive, he would be lame throughout his life.
But the brave boy did not want to die nor did he want to be lame. Much to the amazement of the doctor, he did survive. But unfortunately from his waist down, he had no motor ability. His thin legs just hung there, lifeless. Eventually he left the hospital. But his determination to walk was unshakable. At home, when he was not in bed, he had to stay in a wheelchair. One day, he threw himself from the chair and pulled himself across the grass, dragging his legs behind him. He reached the fence, raised himself up and then began dragging himself along the fence, firmly determined. He did this every day, with faith in himself that he would be able to walk unaided. With his iron determination, he did develop the ability to stand up, then to walk on and off, then to walk by himself and then to run.
He began to walk to school, and then run to school, to run for the joy of running. Later in college he was on the track team.
In February 1934, in New York City's Madison Square Garden, this young man who was not expected to survive, who would surely never walk, who could never hope to run—this determined young man, Dr. Glenn Cunningham, ran the world's fastest mile.
A good example of the power of positive thinking and faith in oneself, Glenn Cunningham continues to be an inspiration for many, and his story, a brilliant evidence to how one can bounce back even when all difficulties are piled against one, to the degree that death seemed the preferable option.
8．What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A．To present an argument.
B．To make preparations for statement.
C．To arouse readers' interest.
D．To function as a brief introduction.
9．What was the doctor's opinion about Glenn
A．Glenn was able to walk with his own great effort.
B．Great determination could make a difference to Glenn.
C．There was a slim chance that Glenn could survive.
D．Glenn could live a normal life with the upper half of his body.
10．What do we know about Glenn
A．Glenn took recovery exercise in hospital.
B．Glenn inspired people with his moving story.
C．Glenn won the first place in Marathon.
D．Glenn organized a track team in college.
11．What can be a suitable title for the passage

C．Go after Dreams
D．Face Difficulty Bravely

[2023·山东省实验中学高二检测]Feeling a bit bored It could be just what you need to produce your best ideas, excite your creativity or simply give your brain a rest.
Nowadays, in the age of round the clock entertainment, it's (technically) trickier to be bored. If the show you're watching has lost its spark, you can easily amuse yourself on social media without even leaving the sofa. But that's not necessarily a good thing. Feeling disengaged from the task in hand, or a lack of stimulation(刺激), does have its benefits, according to researchers at the University of Central Lancashire.
Being bored motivates you to search out something less boring to do. For example, if you decide there's nothing worth watching on TV, you might choose to switch off and take up a new hobby. This, according to researchers, can explain why the lockdowns of the past two years saw a surge (激增) in creativity among people stuck at home from banana bread making to picking up a paintbrush for the first time since childhood.
But what about those times when you have no choice but to stick with the boring situation, waiting for a bus, for instance The good news is that the boredom you're feeling now could spark your creativity later, says a 2019 study published in the Academy of Management Discoveries journal. People who'd taken part in a bean sorting task later performed better at coming up with creative ideas than another group who'd been given something more interesting to do first.
Ultimately, don't take it for granted that there'll always be something close at hand to entertain us. With boredom, we will not run the risk of becoming boring ourselves.
12．What does the author imply in Paragraph 2
A．Wondering mind can be healthy.
B．Social media can surely entertain us.
C．Being bored may be something good.
D．Being involved in the task is beneficial.
13．Why was the surge in creativity seen recently
A．People were stimulated by boredom.
B．People were better equipped at home.
C．People had more hobbies to choose from.
D．People were more concerned about mental being.
14．What is the purpose of the bean sorting task in the 2019 study
A．To create a boring situation.
B．To reduce people's boredom.
C．To make a funny performance.
D．To show an entertainment at hand.
15．What is the best title of the passage
A．What is the point of creativity
B．Are we more easily bored nowadays
C．How can we deal with daily boredom
D．Does boredom make us more creative

Everybody, at some point in their lives, has experienced failure. It could be something as simple as not getting the job you wanted, or getting fewer marks even after hard work. But what makes you is not your failure, but how you get back up after being hit.
Once, a young school boy was caught in a fire accident in his school and was assumed that he would not live. His mother was told that he was sure to die, for the terrible fire had destroyed the lower half of his body. Even if he were to survive, he would be lame throughout his life.
But the brave boy did not want to die nor did he want to be lame. Much to the amazement of the doctor, he did survive. But unfortunately from his waist down, he had no motor ability. His thin legs just hung there, lifeless. Eventually he left the hospital. But his determination to walk was unshakable. At home, when he was not in bed, he had to stay in a wheelchair. One day, he threw himself from the chair and pulled himself across the grass, dragging his legs behind him. He reached the fence, raised himself up and then began dragging himself along the fence, firmly determined. He did this every day, with faith in himself that he would be able to walk unaided. With his iron determination, he did develop the ability to stand up, then to walk on and off, then to walk by himself and then to run.
He began to walk to school, and then run to school, to run for the joy of running. Later in college he was on the track team.
In February 1934, in New York City's Madison Square Garden, this young man who was not expected to survive, who would surely never walk, who could never hope to run—this determined young man, Dr. Glenn Cunningham, ran the world's fastest mile.
A good example of the power of positive thinking and faith in oneself, Glenn Cunningham continues to be an inspiration for many, and his story, a brilliant evidence to how one can bounce back even when all difficulties are piled against one, to the degree that death seemed the preferable option.

[2023·山东省实验中学高二检测]Feeling a bit bored It could be just what you need to produce your best ideas, excite your creativity or simply give your brain a rest.
Nowadays, in the age of round the clock entertainment, it's (technically) trickier to be bored. If the show you're watching has lost its spark, you can easily amuse yourself on social media without even leaving the sofa. But that's not necessarily a good thing. Feeling disengaged from the task in hand, or a lack of stimulation(刺激), does have its benefits, according to researchers at the University of Central Lancashire.
Being bored motivates you to search out something less boring to do. For example, if you decide there's nothing worth watching on TV, you might choose to switch off and take up a new hobby. This, according to researchers, can explain why the lockdowns of the past two years saw a surge (激增) in creativity among people stuck at home from banana bread making to picking up a paintbrush for the first time since childhood.
But what about those times when you have no choice but to stick with the boring situation, waiting for a bus, for instance The good news is that the boredom you're feeling now could spark your creativity later, says a 2019 study published in the Academy of Management Discoveries journal. People who'd taken part in a bean sorting task later performed better at coming up with creative ideas than another group who'd been given something more interesting to do first.
Ultimately, don't take it for granted that there'll always be something close at hand to entertain us. With boredom, we will not run the risk of becoming boring ourselves.
12．What does the author imply in Paragraph 2
A．Wondering mind can be healthy.
B．Social media can surely entertain us.
C．Being bored may be something good.
D．Being involved in the task is beneficial.
13．Why was the surge in creativity seen recently
A．People were stimulated by boredom.
B．People were better equipped at home.
C．People had more hobbies to choose from.
D．People were more concerned about mental being.
14．What is the purpose of the bean sorting task in the 2019 study
A．To create a boring situation.
B．To reduce people's boredom.
C．To make a funny performance.
D．To show an entertainment at hand.
15．What is the best title of the passage
A．What is the point of creativity
B．Are we more easily bored nowadays
C．How can we deal with daily boredom
D．Does boredom make us more creative
