16、. We had no fat, only muscle. On the weekends, we would go to the beach, 37 of our flat stomachs. One summer day, all my friends were at my house 38 . At one point, I was running back to the pool.

It was still not getting the 46 supply it needed. The doctors would have to speed up their treatment.Never
19、before did I have such great 47 for my foot. And walking seemed like a 48 from the gods. Less and less would I want to hear my friends talk about 49 and who was wearing what. More and more I expected visits from other kids in the hospital, who were quickly becoming my friends.One girl came to visit
20、me 50 . Every time she came, she brought flowers. She was recovering from cancer and felt she should come back and 51 the other patients.She still had no hair, and she was swollen from medications she had been taking. I would not have given this girl a second 52 before. I now loved every inch of her

Beginning college can be an exciting but awkward time. Follow these tips to adjust to your new life rapidly an
26、d make the most of your college experience. To save time and money, use the colleges bus system. Taking the bus to school is quick, easy and free in most college towns. You wont have to locate or afford a place to park either. Its also a good way to be environmentally aware. Save pennies on books by
27、 waiting until class starts. You might not even need all of the recommended books. New textbooks cost an arm and a leg. Try buying used textbooks its a surefire way to save money and serves the purpose as well. Do never look at college life as an endless series of parties and social activities. But
28、there is a whole lot more to college if youre serious about graduating. Having a good college experience is all about balancing work and fun. Be aware that your living environment can largely affect your academic success. If the dorm doesnt suit you, consider living at home with your family or renti
29、ng your own apartment. The best location for your studies isnt always your dorm. Find a quiet area, like the library, to do your work. Alternatively, buy some headphones that block out noise. Be mindful of your diet. Make healthy food choices and watch what you eat. Avoid foods that are processed or
30、 high in sugar. The “freshman 15” is real. Many college students gain at least 15 pounds during their freshmen year. While electives (选修课) can be helpful when figuring out your major, you shouldnt entirely rely on them. Clubs and other organizations exist around. Get involved. Make sure, though, tha
31、t you still have time to study. Having too much on your plate can hurt your grades56. Which of the following ideas can be financially wise? A. Driving your own car. B. Buying used books. C. Renting an apartment. D. Attending activities.57. In the text, freshmen are repeatedly warned against _. A. ac

34、my mother who raised me when my dad left us. I have been into sports since I was six years old. I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips, but they usually focused on drills to develop my skills and reach the next level of play.When I was in Senior Two, I met the new school basketba
35、ll coach, Brian Pawloski. I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before. I showed up to the tryouts and put out about 90% effort since I thought Id make it with no problem. That was a big mistake.Brian Pawloski is the hardest-working coach I have e
36、ver met. He didnt expect 100% effort, he expected 200% effort. One example: he once made us do 40 suicide drills for the 40 lay-ups (投篮) we missed in a game. Some think this is crazy, but it isnt. After this conditioning practice, as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink, I said, “coach, that
37、 was the best practice I ever had.” I was completely sincere. This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school. He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom. If I am not working on basketball, I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better u
38、nderstand lifes challenges, including Wooden, Coach, and The Screwtape Letters. In the first two years I slacked off, not putting forth my full potential. Now, unlike the coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how he did off the court. He always made sure I kept up with my studies and was a
39、ble to be trusted. I can honestly say that no other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in life. My school is lucky to have such a great person to teach, coach and influence their students. I will always remember my high-school basketball days as
40、one of the hardest times I have ever worked in my life not only in basketball but in my growth as an individual. 60. Different from other coaches, Coach Brian _.

42、 cruelD. professional and seriousCAs we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that weve yet to get around to. Yet re-readers are everywhere around us. For certain fans, re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually. One frie
43、nd told me that Jane Austens Emma can still surprise him, despite his having read it over 50 times. New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading. Journalist Rebacca Mead, a long-time Englishwoman in New York, first came across George Eliots Middlemarch at 17. Since th
44、en, she has read it again every five years. With each re-reading, it has opened up further; in each chapter of her life, it has resonated (引起共鸣) differently. Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeat reads, but also offer fresh gifts each ti

Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading, we are concerned with the “what” and the “why”. Second time round, were able to better appr
46、eciate the emotions that the plot continues to express. As researcher Cristel Russell of the American University explained, returning to a book “brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers.”Its true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books (if were fon
47、d of making notes on the pages). These texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then. Were changed not only by lived experience but also by read experience by the books that weve discovered since last reading the one in our hand.More so than the m
48、ovie director or the musician, the writer calls upon our imaginations, using words to lead us to picture this declaration of love or that unfaithfulness in life. A book is a joint project between writers and readers, and we must pour so much of ourselves into reading that our own life story can beco
49、me connected with the story in the book.Perhaps whats really strange is that we dont re-read more often. After all, we watch our favourite films again and we wouldnt think of listening to an album only once. We treasure messy old paintings as objects, yet of all art forms, literature alone is a larg

These statistics, released by Edison Research, show the successful evolution of traditional radio broadcasts to the present
55、 days digital podcast format. The term “podcast” was invented in 2004, but the trend only started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years. With the sharp increase in consumer demand for smart-phones and tablets, podcast sales have jumped.The appeal of the podcast partly lies in its multiplatfo
