For many years, I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts and rejections with it.
Many weight conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cherished. We fantasize about what it will be like when we reach the long-waited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.
But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self-worth, and, of course, love
It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards vary with culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200pounds. More importantly, if it's happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body Why not look inside Many of us strive hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.
24. The passage tries to highlight the importance of
A. body size. B. different beauty standards.
C. culture difference. D. attitudes toward life.
25. What does the word “everything” in paragraph 2 mean
A. The whole world. B. All the properties.
C. All the problems. D. The absolute truth.
26. What can be inferred about the author
A. The author is a Samoan.
B. The author succeeded in losing weight.
C. The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.
D. The author has been troubled by her/his weight.
27. According to the author, what is the common view of those who have lost some weight first and gamed it back later
A. They feel optimistic about future plans on weight control
B. They are indifferent to the regained weight.
C. The feel angry about the regained weight.
D. They think they should give up their future plans on weight control
C
Like many other people. I love my smart phone, which keeps me connected with the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop, because it holds all of my writing and thoughts. In spite of this love of technology, I know that there are times when I ne ed to move away from these devices and truly communicate with others.
On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the materials and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule no laptop, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.
Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There's a bit of truth to that . Some students assume that I am anti-technology. There's no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it, so I can relate to my students.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course materials and the class discussion.
I've been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course materials beyond the classroom.
I'm not saying that I won't ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I'm sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.
28. Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with ___________.
A. the course materials B. the author's class regulations
C. discussion topics D. others'misuse of technology
29 Which of the following statements is true
A. The author made the rule in that he was against technology.
B. The author made the rule mainly because of his unpleasant experiences.
C. The author's history class received low assessment
D. The students think highly of the author's history class
30. According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may ___________.
A. allow students to get on well with each other
B. improve teaching and offer more help
C. help students to better understand complex themes
D. prohibit students being involved in class.
31. What can we infer from the passage
A. The author will carry on the success in the future.
B. Some students will be punished according to the rule.
C. More and more students will be absent in history class.
D. The author will help students concentrate on what they learn.
D
Japan said Tuesday that it would start pouring treated radioactive water(放射性废水) from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean within two years. Official s in Tokyo said the water would be filtered and diluted(稀释) to safe levels first, but most residents remain firmly opposed to the plan. Protesters gathered outside Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga's residence in downtown Tokyo to criticize the government's decision
More than a million tons of radioactive water is currently being stored at the Fukushima power plant in a massive tank farm big enough to fill 500 Olympic-sized swimming pools. The wastewater comes from water pumped in to cool the plant's damaged reactors(反应堆). The government says it has simply run out of room to store all the water. The plan to dump the water into the ocean first came to light in the autumn of last year, when Japanese news reported anonymous officials said the decision had been taken.
On Tuesday, Suga said that after years of study, his scientific advisors had concluded that ocean discharge was the most possible way to cope with the wastewater. But the decision to pour Fukushima wastewater into the ocean has drawn fire from neighboring Asian countries and local fishermen along Japan's coast.
China called the decision “extremely irresponsible.” and South Korea summoned(召唤) the Japanese ambassador in Seoul over the matter. “They told us that they wouldn't release the water into the sea without the support of fishermen,” Kanji Tachiya, who leads a local cooperative of fisheries in Fukushima, told national broadcaster NHK ahead of the announcement on Tuesday. “We can't support this move to break that promise and release the water into the sea unilaterally(单方面地)”
The actual release of water from the Fukushima plant will take decades to complete. Critics have called on Japan's government to at least ensure that independent monitoring is in place to check the level of radiation in the poured water is safe for the environment.
32. How do most of the local people react to the plan
A. Indifferent. B. Uncertain. C. Supportive. D. Disapproval.
33. Which of the following is true according to the passage
A. The wastewater is being stored in 500 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
B. It was last year that the plan was exposed to the public.
C. Ocean discharge is the only way the deal with the wastewater.
D. The plan has aroused anger in all the Asian countries.
34. What does Kanji Tachiya probably agree with
A. The plan is to pull the whole world into the disaster.
B. It's important that the plan should be carried out immediately.
C. It's safe and easy to pour the wastewater into the ocean.
D. It's unacceptable to pour the water into the ocean without fishermen' permission.
35. The passage is most probably taken from a _________.
A. geography textbook B. personal diary C. news report D. fiction book

This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn't have a lot of money.
Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns. elephants, and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.
One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promise d to be highlight of their young lives. The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud as could be. The mother was holding her husband's hand, looking up at him as if to say, “You are my knight(骑士) in shining armor(盔甲).”
He was smiling and responding in pride, looking back at her as if to say, “You got that right” The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “Please let me buy eight child tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady gave the price. The man's wife let go of his hand, her head dropped, and his lips began to shake. The father leaned(倾斜) a little closer and asked. “How much do you say ”
The ticket lady again quoted(报价) the price. The man didn't have enough money.
How was he supposed to turn around and tell fu s eight children that he didn't have enough money to take them to the circus
Actually we were not wealthy in any sense. So I understand how the kids would feel I felt sorry for them.
