10、everness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy-theyre given after all. Choice can be hard. I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2300 percent per year. Id never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the
11、idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me, I had just turned 30 years old , and Id been married for a year, I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldnt work since most start-ups dont , and I wasn
12、t sure what to expect, MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, Id been a garage inventor, Id always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion. I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I
13、much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didnt already have
14、a good job.” That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but ultimately, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didnt think Id regret trying and failing. And I suspected I wou
15、ld always be haunted by a decision to not try at all. After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and Im proud of that choice, For all of us, in the end, we are our choice.21. What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?A. His dream if being a
16、n inventor. B. The support of his wife.C. The greatly increasing usage of the Internet. D. Millions of exciting titles.22. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?A. The decision to not try the online bookstore would terrify him.B. He would be very excited if he tried
17、 it out.C. He would be always having a doubt if he didnt try.D. The idea of not trying would keep coming to his mind and disturb him.23. We can know from the passage that _. A. the boss thought the idea was suitable for the authorB. the author wanted someone else to try the ideaC. the author might n
18、ot regret if he failed the ideaD. the author might go back to his boss if he failed24. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Cleverness and Kindness B. The Starting of AmazonC. Following My Passion D. We Are What We Choose( B )No one would much like the idea of eating 61
19、pounds of tomatoes a day. But if their goodness was put into an easy-to-swallow pill that you were told might prevent strokes(中风) and heart attacks you would probably be putting in an order tomorrow. Researchers believe they may have come up with just that after trials. The daily pill contains a che
20、mical called lycopene (番茄红素) which makes tomatoes red and is known to break down fat in the vessels(血管). A Cambridge University study found taking the pills improved blood flow and the lining of vessels in patients with pre-existing heart conditions. It also increased the flexibility(灵活性) of their v
21、essels by 50 percent. The scientists believe it could limit the damage caused by heart disease-responsible for 180,000 deaths a year, and help cut the 49,000 deaths a year from strokes. They also hope it could benefit those with arthritis(关节炎), diabetes(糖尿病) and even slow the progress of cancer. Eac
22、h pill is equal to eating around 61 pounds of ripe tomatoes. Studies have shown eating a Mediterranean-style diet rich in tomatoes fish, vegetables, nuts and olive oil can significantly reduce cholesterol(胆固醇) and help prevent cardiovascular disease. Preliminary (预先的) results from a two-month trial,
23、 in which the pill was given to 36 heart disease patients and 36 healthy volunteers with an average age of 67, were presented at a meeting of the American Heart Association. It was shown to improve the function of the layer of cells lining blood vessels. It also improved their sensitivity to nitric
24、oxide(氧化氮), the gas which causes the enlargement of the vessels in response to exercise. Ian Wilkinson, head of Cambridge Universitys clinical trials unit, said “These results are potentially very significant and it meets the goal, but we need more trials to see if they translate into fewer heart at
25、tacks and strokes.” Further studies are planned, with researchers hoping it could offer a choice for heart disease sufferers who can not take the cholesterol-lowing drugs. Mike Knapton, head of the British Heart Foundation, said, “Although this showed lycopene improved blood flow in people with hear
26、t disease, thats a long way from demonstrating that taking it could improve outcomes for people with heart disease. The best way to get the benefits of a good diet is to eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.”25. What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A. We can eat too much tomato food. B. Tomatoes a
27、re helpful to strokes and heart attacks.C. Tomatoes will lose healthy elements when were put into pills. D. We had better not eat tomatoes.26. We can learn from the passage that the pills _.A. are at the experiment stage B. can cure all the diseaseC. are widely used among patients D. cost patients s
28、o little money27. Who were the volunteers by taking part in the trial?A. Children. B. Youth. C. Working people. D. old healthy people. 28. What Was Ian Wilkinsons opinion on the trial?A. Disappointing. B. Surprising. C. Satisfactory. D. Terrible.（ C ） We know the famous ones-the Thomas Edisons and t
29、he Alexander Graham Bells -but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper (雨刮器) ? Shouldn t we know who they are? Joan Mclean thinks so. In fact, Mclean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly
30、 about this matter that she s developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning who invented what , however, Mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the why and how questions. According to Mclean, when students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to r
31、ecognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try. Her students agree. One young man with a patent（专利）for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLeans statement. “If I had not heard the story of the windshield wipers invention,” said Tommy Lee, a senior physics m
32、ajor, “I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rain storm into something so constructive.” Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer. So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after
33、 a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldn t be a built-in device for clea
34、ning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever (操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper. Today we benefit from countless
35、inventions and innovations. Its hard to imagine driving without Garrett A. Morgan s traffic light. Its equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgett s innovation that makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?29. By mentioning traffic ligh
36、t and windshield wiper”, the author indicates that countless inventions are_. A. beneficial, because their inventors are famous B. beneficial, though their inventors are less famous C. not useful, because their inventors are less famous D. not useful, though their inventors are famous30.

A. add color and variety to students campus life B. inform students of the windshield wipers inventionC. carry out the requirements by Mountain University D. prepare students to try their own invention31. Tommy Lee s invention of the unbreakable umbrella was _ A. not ev
38、entually accepted by the umbrella producer B .inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper C. due to his dream of being caught in a rainstorm D. not related to Professor Joan McLean s lectures32. Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage? A. How to Help Students to Sell
39、 Their Inventions to Producers? B. How to Design a Built -in Device for Cleaning the Window? C. Shouldnt We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper? D. Shouldnt We Develop Invention Courses in Universities? ( D )Tired of Working in Your Country?With over 500 instructors and 20 years of experience, we

70、ng, which has aroused a wide concern.These parents are willing to leave their hometown, even quit their jobs to follow their children into the campus. Most of them rent an apartment nearby so as to take good care of their children. Parents consider it necessary to offer a better living condition to
71、the kids. Meanwhile, it can allow them to keep track of the kids academic performance.Nevertheless, what theyve ignored is that it will get their kids into the habit of being dependent. Thus, they will never develop the ability of self-control in the future.Trust leads to independence. So it seems to me that parents should create room for childrens growth and study in order to ensure their overall development.
