21、Dear daughters,

Most parents tell their children, “You can be anything you want when you grow up.” I feel the same and I say this often. But I also want you to understand that realizing your dreams comes from hard work, some good luck and good timing.

Here are some words of wisdom for you as you make your way in the world, from an entrepreneur (企业家) and from your mama.

1. Be open-minded to changing your path along the way

In high school, I wanted to be a politician. I left my hometown and went off to college in Washington,

DC. There, I discovered that I loved to support women. It taught me that I’m creative, a strong leader and great at marketing. As a result, I moved on to be the head of a national healthcare nonprofit. Becoming a mother while in that job opened my mind to launching a breast pump bag (储奶袋) business. Now I run a highly successful company that I started up on my own. I'm not a politician!

2. Failure is critical to your success

Failure can be heartbreaking. But I will tell you that every failure I’ve had along the way has absolutely made me better.

Failing the big math exam in high school and going to summer school was embarrassing. I eventually passed, and I’ve never failed an exam again. I learned from that experience to ask for help. Now, I ask for help in business all the time.

I’m proud to be a role model to you as a mom and an entrepreneur. I hope I inspire you to believe that you can be anything you want. It will be my pleasure to watch your lives unfold before my eyes.

Love,

Your mom

22、   A group of people introduced themselves to me and my German classmate Julia. They were from a production company, currently in the process of filming a movie based in Du’an, a rural area a few hours north of Nanning. They tried to explain the plot of the film, but neither mine nor Julia’s Chinese was good enough to fully understand what they were saying. They then asked if we would be interested in being part of the project.

I came to China to experience new things and new opportunities, and being in a movie sounded so exciting. So in less than a second, I jumped at the chance of being in the film. Julia on the other hand was not so enthusiastic. It took 30 minutes to convince her to be part of the film, and she eventually accepted the chance.

That afternoon we were taken to the production company’s office to meet the director and some of the cast. We all sat together, drinking tea, talking about why Julia and I were in China and about the film. It seemed a little bit like a dream.

Ever since I was a small child, I dreamed of becoming a movie star, but I would never have guessed that my dream would come true, especially now in China.

At the end of the talk, we were given scripts(剧本)and had a few photographs taken. We were given the production schedule and ensured that our scenes would only be shot at weekends so it wouldn’t interfere with our studies. We left the office and were excited about the film, unknowing what filming was actually like.

On our first day of filming, we were picked up in the early morning from the university and we drove deep into the countryside.

We arrived at the location and waited for our scene to be shot. We watched as the other actors and crew went about their work, busy shooting and reshooting the same scene from different angles and perspectives. I never knew how much effort and care went into filming even the shortest and simplest scene. It was then our turn to shoot, and I was very nervous and very excited.

23、   When my grandmother died at the age of 96, there were two things she left behind in abundance---nearly 100 photo albums documenting decades of travel and home life, and a dozen quilts, one of which my mother gave me.

Quilting is the process of sewing together fabric(作料)to make one large piece of fabric. In my family，quilting and sewing is a tradition that has been passed down through the generations. My mother says her great-grandmother would occasionally travel around New York State to sew clothing for other families.

In the United States，quilting was a craft(手艺)that started as a necessity and eventually became much more. In 1862, the U.S. government offered millions of acres of land to Americans who wanted to move west. This allowed families to settle on land that that could eventually own. They often built their own homes and lived off the vegetables in their gardens and the livestock they had. Sewing was very important for women because they were responsible for clothing their families and keeping them warm.

Quilting also became a chance for women to socialize with each other.They would gather for so-called “quilting bees”，where they would meet up and work on one quilting project together. This provided a much-needed relief from the lonely life of living on a large piece of land.

Throughout history, the different patterns on American quilts have conveyed all kinds of information. From then，we can tell where a person lived，what region of the world they originated from, or sometimes a story is told in pictures on a quilt.

Even today，women still gather to quit together in a show of friendship and a love for the craft，just like the old days.My sister has tried quilting a few times，and hopefully，her two daughters may one day continue this family tradition.

【1】What do we know about quilting？

A. It is a lost traditional craft.

B. It is a major means of making a living in the USA.

C. It is a craft that has become a cultural symbol.

D. It was a way to carry on the American history.

【2】What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3？

A. Introduce a new topic for discussion.

B. Summarize the previous paragraphs

C. Add some background information.

D. Praise the U.S.government's policy.

【3】What does the underlined word“this”in paragraph 4 refer to？

A. Working on the land.

B. Participating in“quilting bees”.

C. Designing a quilting project.

D. Clothing the family.

【4】What is the author's purpose in writing the text？

A. To instruct how to sew together fabric.

B. To show the author's skills of quilting.

C. To tell about the struggle of women.

D. To appeal for preservation of quilting.

24、   Can' t you stand the sound of heavy breathing or sipping soup? Does the sound of someone chewing gum next to you make your blood boil? You are not alone, but you are not going crazy-there’s a really scientific reason why.

If you shrink back when someone twists their knuckles(指关节), you might want to get checked out for misophonia, a brain abnormality that creates “a hatred of sounds such as eating, chewing, loud breathing, or even pen-clicking,” TIME reports. Actually, it’s just one of the strange habits that prove you’re smarter than everyone else. Although researchers first coined the term misophonia in 2001, doubt has been thrown on it by the medical community. But thanks to recent research, it can be safely drawn that everyday noises can ruin people’s lives. A team at Newcastle University in the U. K. examined MRI brain scans(核磁共振脑扫描) of those with and without misophonia while playing a range of sounds. The sounds were either neutral (like rain or water boiling), unpleasant (a baby crying or a person screaming), or trigger sounds (the sounds of breathing or eating).

The researchers noted significant changes in misophonia sufferers’ brain activity when they heard a “trig- ger sound.” Turns out those with misophonia have a developmental difference in their brains frontal lobe(额叶) that causes their brains to react harshly to those triggers. It also causes them to sweat and their heart rates to increase.

“For many people with misophonia, this will come as welcome news as for the first time we have shown a difference in brain structure and function in sufferers.” said Dr Sukhbinder Kumar. “This study shows the critical brain changes as further evidence to convince a skeptical medical community that this is a real disorder.”

【1】What is the best title for the text?

A.Keep off such sounds around you B.Troubled by the sound of chewing

C.Can we make use of these sounds D.Never be afraid of such noise again

【2】What can be inferred from the second paragraph?

A.Misophonia can be a sign of intelligence.

B.Misophonia is actually a physical disability.

C.The term misophonia has been widely accepted.

D.Noise pollution has ruined many lives until now.

【3】What does Kumar think of the research?

A.Cold. B.Favorable.

C.Doubtful. D.Neutral.

【4】Where is the text most probably taken from?

A.A guidebook. B.A review.

C.A magazine. D.An interview.

25、Generous billionaires are not hard to come by, but it is definitely a challenge to find a billionaire who spends all his fortune on charity just to end up broke. This is ________ what happened to “former” American billionaire Charles Feeney.

Feeney, who grew up in a poor neighborhood of New Jersey, is a ________ at finding business opportunities.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

My parents do a lot of embarrassing things! Usually, it’s my dad who sings silly songs or tells corny jokes around my friends. But a few weeks ago, it was my mother who played the embarrassing-parent role.

While my mom and I were shopping, we ran into my teacher, who mentioned that the school didn’t have a music teacher to help our class put together a performance for Winter Fair. And, right then and there, my mom said, “I know the perfect song and dance. I’ll teach it to the kids!”

Before I could say “Please don’t”, my mom had agreed to come to my class every morning at 9:30 for a week. Oh, and just to be clear, it’s not as if she’s a professional entertainer. My parents run a small grocery store, and the only singing my mom does is in the shower.

“Um,” I said on our way home, “are you sure this is such a good idea?” “Of course!” she said. “If we want your school Winter Fair to happen, people need to step up and volunteer.” “I know volunteering is important,” I said, “but couldn’t you help out in Tex and Indi’s kindergarten instead?” She laughed, “Don’t be silly. We will have fun!”

“OK, fellas!” my teacher said at 9:28 on Monday. “We’re going to stop silent reading a   little early today because a special guest is here to help us with a performance for Winter Fair. Let’s all welcome Arizona’s mother.”

I looked up to discover my mom standing at the front of the room wearing the world’s silliest snowflake hat. “I’m super excited to be here with you!” my mom said, “I’m going to teach you a fun little song-and-dance performance I learned a few years back, when I did some theater in college. Here goes!”

Oh please, oh please, I said over and over in my head, let there be a fire drill, or an assembly, or a power failure, or anything to stop my mom from completely embarrassing herself — and me!!!

But apparently, my mom was not at all concerned about looking silly. She turned on some background music and started singing and dancing away.
