A
Like
many,
I
felt
pressure
from
my
parents
and
teachers
to
go
to
university
and
study
something
academic.
With
top
grades
I
received
at
the
end
of
high
school,
I
was
almost
able
to
enter
any
course
of
my
pick.
Yet
the
thought
of
spending
the
next
few
years
facing
the
four
walls
of
a
classroom
caused
a
lump(肿块)
in
my
throat.
???
After
a
year
majoring
in
photography
at
university,
which
was
not
just
what
I
expected,
I
made
the
decision
to
take
a
break
and
go
on
a
gap
year.
In
fact,
I
gained
more
knowledge
in
the
real
world
in
four
months
than
I
did
from
my
entire
schooling,
but
most
importantly,
I
learnt
so
much
about
myself.
???
One
day,
my
posted
photos
were
noticed
by
Topdeck
Travel,
and
they
asked
if
they
could
use
some
of
my
travel
pictures
for
their
posters.
This
really
was
the
beginning
of
my
career.
I
began
developing
my
relationship
with
Topdeck
Travel,
and
before
long,
I
got
my
first
paid
travelling
overseas
to
take
photographs.
???
Soon
I
reached
the
point
where
I
had
to
make
a
decision—either
to
play
it
safe,
go
back
to
university
and
settle
down
like
everyone
else,
or
to
follow
my
heart
and
go
my
own
way—a
path
with
an
uncertain
future.
I
chose
the
latter,
and
it
was
the
scariest
and
best
decision
I
have
ever
made.
???
Five
years
after
leaving
school,
I
might
not
have
a
university
degree,
a
well-paid
job,
a
husband
or
a
house
with
a
white
fence.
Instead,
I'm
sitting
at
my
office,
with
a
cafe
by
a
beach
at
Goa,
India.
As
I
stare
past
my
laptop
screen
at
the
sun
setting
beyond
the
waves,
a
salty
breeze
touches
my
face.
???
To
me,
success
is
about
pursuing
my
dreams
and
creating
my
own
path
instead
of
trying
to
follow
someone
else's.
Somehow,
I
feel
like
my
life
is
exactly
where
it
is
meant
to
be.

B
A
new
report
connects
eating
eggs
to
an
increased
risk
of
heart
disease.
The
results
follow
several
earlier
studies
that
found
eating
eggs
was
generally
healthy.
The
study
collects
data
from
six
other
earlier
studies.
It
shows
a
6
percent
increased
risk
of
heart
disease
when
the
number
of
eggs
a
person
ate
each
day
increased
by
half
an
egg.
Norrina
Allen,
an
associate
professor
at
Northwestern
University
said
that,
in
the
United
States,
eggs
are
generally
one
of
the
top
sources
of
cholesterol(胆固醇)
in
a
person’s
daily
food.
People
with
higher
levels
of
cholesterol
in
their
food
are
at
increased
risk
of
the
development
of
heart
disease
later
in
life.
However,
Allen
added
that
she
would
not
say
that
eggs
are
completely
unhealthy.
“I’m
not
saying
that
people
should
take
them
completely
out
of
their
food,”
she
said.
“I’m
just
suggesting
that
people
eat
them
in
a
proper
amount.”
Some
experts
believe
the
new
study
does
not
prove
that
eggs
are
causing
heart
disease.
“Cholesterol’s
role
in
the
development
of
heart
disease
has
been
discussed
for
more
than
30
years,”
said
Bruemmer,
an
associate
professor
of
medicine
at
the
University
of
Pittsburgh
Medical
Center.
“This
study
does
have
clear
shortcomings,
including
self-reporting
at
a
single
time
point,”
he
added.
Bruemmer
said,
“Eggs
in
moderation
(适度)
are
probably
acceptable
from
a
nutritional
standpoint.”
“Moderation,”
he
added,
“is
less
than
one
egg
a
day,
including
eggs
in
foods
such
as
bread”.
Holly
Andersen,
a
doctor
at
the
NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill
Cornell
Medical
Center,
agrees
that
the
study
has
“real
shortcomings”.
One
problem
Andersen
has
with
the
study
is
that
a
lot
of
the
egg-eating
people
in
the
study
also
appeared
to
be
eating
much
meat
and
processed
meat.
“If
you’re
taking
a
lot
of
processed
meat,
it
doesn’t
matter
how
many
eggs
you’re
eating,”
Andersen
said.
Also,
Andersen
said,
“The
study
can
only
show
there
is
a
relation
between
eggs
eating
and
heart
disease.
But
it
cannot
prove
eggs
are
the
cause
of
the
disease.
It
may
just
be
that
people
eating
a
lot
of
eggs
are
also
taking
a
lot
of
bacon.”
4.What
does
Norrina
Allen
agree
with?
A.Eggs
are
completely
unhealthy.
B.Eggs
should
be
eaten
in
a
right
amount.
C.Eggs
contain
the
most
cholesterol.
D.Eggs
have
no
connection
with
heart
disease.
5.What
is
Bruemmer’s
attitude
towards
the
study?
A.Interested.
B.Concerned.
C.Doubtful.
D.Hopeful.
6.What
can
we
learn
from
Holly
Andersen’s
words?
A.Processed
meat
may
cause
heart
disease.
B.Eggs
and
meat
cannot
be
eaten
together.
C.Processed
meat
should
be
avoided.
D.The
study
is
supported
by
evidence.
7.What’s
the
best
title
of
the
text?
A.Are
eggs
the
top
source
of
cholesterol?
B.Do
eggs
cause
heart
disease?
C.What’s
the
proper
amount
of
eggs
eaten?
D.Is
the
cholesterol
to
blame
for
heart
disease?
C
Journalists
are
the
major
group
of
people
who
make
their
living
from
writing.
Many
young
people
who
see
themselves
as
future
novelists
choose
journalism
as
a
way
of
earning
a
living
while
developing
their
writing
skills.
Although
writing
for
newspapers
and
writing
for
books
require
different
qualities,
the
aspiration
(志向)
to
be
a
great
writer
is
not
one
to
be
discouraged
in
a
would-be
journalist.
Most
people
want
their
work
to
be
recognized
by
others.
This
helps
to
give
it
value.
Some
people
also
want
themselves
to
be
recognized,
so
that
they
have
status
(地位)
in
the
eyes
of
society.
It
is
not
a
bad
motive
to
wish
to
be
famous,
but
this
must
never
become
your
main
reason
for
being
a
journalist.
You
will
not
be
a
good
journalist
if
you
care
more
for
impressing
your
audience
than
for
serving
their
needs.
Knowing
the
power
of
the
printed
or
spoken
word
or
image,
some
people
enter
journalism
for
the
power
it
will
give
them
to
influence
people.
There
is
a
strong
belief
that
journalists
control
the
mass
media
but
the
best
journalists
recognize
their
role
as
servants
of
the
people.
There
is
a
difference
between
the
desire
to
influence
events
for
your
own
sake,
and
the
desire
to
do
it
for
other
people.
You
should
never
use
journalism
for
selfish
ends,
but
you
can
use
it
to
improve
the
life
of
other
people.
Curiosity
is
a
natural
part
of
most
people’s
characters
and
an
important
ingredient
for
any
journalist.
Lots
of
young
men
and
women
enter
the
profession
with
the
desire
to
know
more
about
the
world
without
needing
to
specialize
in
limited
fields
of
study.
Most
journalists
tend
to
know
a
little
bit
about
a
lot
of
things,
rather
than
a
lot
about
one
subject.
Knowledge
has
many
uses.
It
can
simply
help
to
make
you
a
fuller
and
more
interesting
person.
It
can
also
give
you
power
over
people,
especially
people
who
do
not
have
that
particular
knowledge.
Always
bear
in
mind
that
power
can
be
used
in
a
positive
way
to
improve
people’s
lives.
8.What
can
we
know
from
the
first
paragraph?
A.Journalists
are
most
likely
to
become
great
writers.
B.Writing
for
newspapers
is
similar
to
writing
for
novels.
C.Most
of
the
journalists
make
a
living
by
writing
books.
D.Journalism
can
be
used
as
a
means
to
improve
writing.
9.Why
do
some
people
want
themselves
to
be
recognized?
A.To
gain
high
position.
B.To
get
great
power.
C.To
earn
much
wealth.
D.To
learn
rich
knowledge.
10.What
is
most
necessary
for
journalists
according
to
Paragraph
4?
A.Being
specialized
in
a
certain
field.
B.Having
a
wide
range
of
knowledge.
C.Being
good
at
making
friends
with
others.
D.Being
able
to
speak
a
foreign
language
well.
11.What
does
the
text
mainly
talk
about?
A.The
development
of
journalism.
B.The
challenges
journalists
face
now.
C.How
to
become
a
qualified
journalist.
D.Why
people
choose
a
career
in
journalism.
D
A
clever
technologist
took
steamboat
inventions
and
turned
them
into
the
first
commercial
steamboat
service.
Although
Robert
Fulton
did
not
invent
the
steamboat,
as
is
commonly
believed,
he
played
an
important
role
in
making
steamboat
travel
a
reality.
He
was
born
in
Pennsylvania
in
1765.
As
a
young
man,
he
set
out
to
make
his
name
as
a
portrait
painter.
His
career
took
him
to
Europe
and
into
the
orbit
of
people
with
the
power
to
support
him
politically
and
financially.
Fulton
entered
London
society
after
he
painted
Benjamin
Franklin’s
portrait.
While
abroad,
Fulton
left
the
arts
for
a
career
in
shipbuilding.
He
was
interested
in
the
recently-invented
steam
engine,
and
thought
it
could
be
used
to
power
ships.
Fulton’s
vision
was
not
original;
many
others
had
entered
the
field,
and
the
unfortunate
inventor
John
Fitch
had
built
a
working
steamship
already.
But
like
Henry
Ford,
Fulton’s
talent
lay
not
in
the
invention
but
in
the
product’s
application
in
the
marketplace.
Fulton
didn’t
focus
entirely
on
the
steamboat.
In
1804,
he
tested
the
first
submarine
successfully,
which
he
had
built
for
the
British
Royal
Navy.
His
invention
would
make
him
a
celebrity
upon
his
return
to
the
United
States
two
years
later.
Fulton’s
partner
Robert
Livingston
obtained
an
exclusive
license
for
steamboat
services
on
New
York’s
Hudson
River.
It
was
time
for
Fulton
to
deliver.
To
build
an
efficient,
reliable
steamboat,
Fulton
used
a
special
English
steam
engine.
The
ship’s
bottom
was
flat
and
its
stern
was
square.
The
steamboat
Clermont
made
its
debut
(首次亮相)
on
August
17,
1807,
steaming
up
the
river
from
New
York
to
Albany,
and
it
soon
entered
commercial
services.
The
hilly
terrain
of
New
York
made
water
transport
faster
than
land
transport,
and
Fulton’s
boat
—
formerly
known
as
the
“North
River
Steamboat”
—
was
a
hit.
Within
five
years,
Fulton
would
be
running
services
on
six
major
rivers
plus
the
Chesapeake
Bay,
and
bring
in
great
profits.
12.What
can
be
inferred
from
Paragraph
3?
A.Henry
Ford
was
as
unfortunate
as
John
Fitch.
B.Henry
Ford
was
talented
in
product
application.
C.Fulton
left
the
arts
as
he
couldn’t
support
himself.
D.Fulton
was
the
first
to
create
a
working
steamship.
13.When
did
Fulton
become
a
celebrity
in
the
United
States?
A.In
1804.
B.In
1806.
C.In
1807.
D.In
1812.
14.What
is
mentioned
about
Clermont?
A.It
operated
for
five
years.
B.It
earned
Fault
much
money.
C.It
had
an
American
steam
engine.
D.It
was
not
accepted
by
people
at
first.
15.What’s

best
title
of

his
Steamboat
B.Robert

This
statement
is
true
and
the
following
are
some
of
the
major
benefits
of
assisting
other
people.
__17_____?Researchers
have
done
lots
of
work
to
prove
that
helping
others
does
have
a
great
effect
on
a
person’s
happiness.
Even
though
we
usually
feel
the
urge
to
compete
with
other
people,
taking
time
to
assist
others
can
be
very
beneficial
to
us.
The
key
to
internal
joy
and
happiness
is
simply
helping

genuine
intentions
of
assisting
them,
it
is

be
very
grateful.?____18_____?Helping
people
is
also
a
good
way
to

and
develop
trusty
relationship,
particularly
if
you
never
expect
anything
to
be
given
to
you
in
return.
Improve
the
community.
The
mentality
of
helping
people
is
increasing
in
popularity

not
need
to
fight
for

number
of
individuals
now
assist
others

Even
though
I’ve
lived
in
Walnut
Creek
for
four
years,
I
don’t
know
many
of
my
neighbours.
Now,
during
the
mask-wearing,
stay-inside
weeks
of
the
pandemic(大流行病),
it
would
be
great
to
have
a

but
how
would
I????
22???
?meet
any

Anyway,
at

I
had

Last

Junior????

?through
the

but
I

25???
?he
is
sometimes
gone
for
an

or
two
before
he????

But
this
time,
it
had
been
almost

and
Junior
hadn’t
come

That
never????

I
kept
worrying

might????
28???
?to
death.
I
cooked

29???
?a

breast
and
put
it

Junior

I

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The
English
word
“dinner”
used
to
refer
to
breakfast.
It
comes
from
the
Old
French
word
“disnar”,?____41_____?in
fact
means
“breakfast”.
So?___42______?did
this
word
come
to
have
a
different
meaning?
___43______
(tradition),
dinner
(what
we
now
refer
to
as
breakfast)
was
the
first
meal
of
the
day,
eaten
around
noon.
It
also
happened
to
be
the?___44______
(big)
meal
of
the
day,
with
a
lighter
meal
coming
later
__45____
(know)
as
supper.
Today
many
people
find?___46______?strange
that
the
biggest
meal
of
the
day
once
centered
around
noon,?___47______?it
made
great
sense
at
that
time.
Artificial
lighting
such
as
oil
lamps
and
candles
were
expensive,
and
provided
weak
light
at
best.
So
people
went
to
sleep
at
sundown,
because
it’s
difficult
____48_____
(work)
and
eat
in
the
dark.
The
last
meal
of
the
day
was
a
rushed
affair,
a
quick
snack
before
the
lights
went
out.
Eventually,
more
meals?____49_____
(add)
to
the
day.
This
meant
that
people
were
eating
smaller
meals
before
the
bigger
meal.
So
the
word
that
once?____50_____
(refer)
to
our
first
meal,
now
refers
to
our
last.
However,
it
is
true
that
in
many
Western
cultures
dinner
still
remains
the
biggest
meal
of
the
day.

52.Dear
Manager,
?I
feel
sorry
to
trouble
you,
but
I’m
afraid
I
have
to
make
a
complaint.
Yesterday
I
bought
an
electric
fan
in
your
shop,
but
when
I
got
home
and
turned
it
on,
it
didn't
work.
So
I
took
it
back
and
talked
to
the
assistant
about
the
problem.
To
my
surprise,
instead
of
helping
me
solve
the
problem,
the
assistant,
in
a
rude
manner,
refused
to
examine
it.
I
was
really
upset
to
find
that
such
a
thing
should
have
occurred
in
your
shop
and
that
your
assistant
didn’t
take
the
interests
of
customers
seriously.
Hopefully,
you
will
look
into
the
matter
and
give
me
a
full
refund.
Besides,
I’d
like
to
be
informed
of
the
process
that
you
will
deal
with
it.
Your
attention
paid
to
the
matter
and
early
reply
would
be
highly
appreciated.
Sincerely
yours,
Li
Hua
