So she went to law school, got a job at a great firm in Washington, DC, and
11、 worked as a lawyer for a decade. But her heart was never in it. “I had a big salary but no personal satisfaction,” she says. Jessica found pleasure in the same thing that had brought her joy since joining the church choir at the age of 12. “Singing always felt like communicating something real at a
12、 spiritual and emotional level,” says Jessica. Yet she never considered it a career option. “That seemed like something people did in fairy tales, and I would never let my parents down,” she says. It was her moms diagnosis of brain cancer in 2009 that made Jessica realize she had to write her own ha
13、ppy-ever-after. “Work was busy and my mother was ailing. So I was flying back and forth from Washington, DC to Houston to see her,” Jessica says. “I finally said, Enough! and quit.” While caring for her mom, Jessica made a plan. She would spend her savings and study music for a year, and then open a
14、 part-time law practice so she could pursue her passion. Before her mother passed away two years later, she encouraged Jessica to follow her dream. Her song Live This Life was inspired by her mom, and her dad came to watch her perform at clubs. In 2012, Jessica moved to Nashville to try singing and
15、songwriting. A decade of presenting cases in court gave her the confidence to sing for a crowd. “At 20, I would have been too shy to perform,” says Jessica.“Doing music is so free,” Jessica says. “Theres no pressure to be a star.

19、d It. According to the book, there are lots of misunderstandings of obesity. 1. If youre obese, blame your genes. Obesity rates have increased. Yet, between 1980 and 2000, the number of Americans who are obese has doubledtoo quickly for genetic factors to be responsible. At restaurants, a dollar put
20、s more calories on our plates than ever before, because restaurant meals usually have more calories than what we prepare at home, so people who eat out more frequently have higher rates of obesity than those who eat out less.2. If youre obese, you lack self-control. Research shows that if we are fac
21、ed with too much information, we have a tendency to make poor dietary choices. Our world has become so rich in temptation that we can be led to consume too much in ways we cant understand. Even the most vigilant(警觉的) people may not be up to the task of controlling themselves. 3. Lack of access to fr
22、esh fruits and vegetables is responsible for obesity. Although the US Department of Agriculture estimates that fewer than 5 percent of Americans live in the “food deserts”, about 65 percent of the nations population is overweight or obese. For most of us, obesity is not related to access to more fre
23、sh fruits and vegetables, but to the choices we make in supermarkets. 4. The problem is not that we eat too much, but that we dont exercise. Michelle Obamas “Lets Move” campaign is based on the idea that if kids exercise more, childhood obesity rates will decrease. But there was no significant decre
24、ase in physical activity levels as obesity rates climbed in the 1980s and 1990s.

27、Obesity leads to a big fat crisis.D. Lacking self-control leads to obesity.CTIME is an American weekly news magazine published in New York City. It was created in 1923 by Briton Hadden and Henry Luce, making it the first weekly news magazine in the US. Hadden was considered carefree, liked to tease
28、Luce and saw TIME as important but also fun. That accounted for its heavy coverage of celebrities(including politicians), the entertainment industry, and pop culturecriticized as too light for serious news. It tells the news through people, and for many decades, the magazines cover depicted a single
29、 person. On Haddens death in 1929, Luce became the most important man at TIME and a major figure in the history of 20th-century media. TIME is also known for its signature red border, first introduced in 1927. It has only changed four times since then. The issue released shortly after the September
30、11 attacks on the United States featured a black border to symbolize mourning. However, this edition was a special “extra” edition published quickly for the breaking news of the event; the next regularly scheduled issue contained the red border. Additionally, the April 28, 2008 Earth Day issue, dedi
31、cated to environmental issues, contained a green border. The next change in border was in the September 19, 2011 issue, commemorating the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks with a metallic silver border. The most recent change(again with a silver border) was in the December 31, 2012 issue,
32、 noting Barack Obamas selection as Man of the Year. TIME has a division magazine, TIME FOR KIDS(TFK), which is especially published for children and is mainly distributed in classrooms. TFK contains some national news, a “Cartoon of the Week”, and a variety of articles concerning popular culture tha
33、t the younger U.S. citizens are interested in. All the stories in TFK are written by young reporters. In some advertising campaigns, the magazine has suggested that the letters TIME stand for “The International Magazine of Events”.28. TIME has a history of _.A. about 50 yearsB. about 70 yearsC. abou
34、t 90 yearsD. about 150 years29. Why did some people dislike TIME in the beginning? A. It had kept its cover the same since the 1920s.B. It didnt have a serious tone for important events. C. It didnt report important events quickly enough. D. Henry Luce was in charge of the magazine for too long. 30.
35、 Why did TIME change its red border for the first time? A. To remember the 10th anniversary of an attack.B. To remind readers to protect the environment. C. To show great sadness about the deaths. D. To call on readers to vote for Obama. 31. What do we know about TFK? A. It has young reporters writi
36、ng articles. B. It has a division magazine called TIME. C. It is designed for kids and teachers. D. It mainly contains popular culture. DCheaters called “pirates” often use camcorders(便携式摄像机) and cell phones to make illegal copies of blockbusters(大片) in the local theater. These pirates then sell tho
37、se recordings on the street or over the Internet for very low prices. Some share them for free. “Its unfair for people to pirate movies, ” says 15-year-old Hadaia Azad Ezzulddin. Movie piracy “takes money out of the pockets of thousands of people in the movie industry,” she notes. Victims include fa
38、mous actors and directors as well as local theater owners and their employees. Hadaia came up with an idea that could help stop movie piracy. Hadaias idea uses infrared(红外线的) light. This range of light is invisible to the human eye. It is visible, however, to many types of cameras. Theater owners co
39、uld place small infrared lights on their movie screens. The lights would not disturb people watching the movie. It would, however, distort the recordings made by many types of cameras. To test her idea, Hadaia built a box with a movie screen inside. Then, she projected images on that screen through
40、a hole in the box. She took recordings of those images, using nine different types of cameras. These included the types found in cell phones as well as camcorders. During some tests, she also turned on light emitting diodes(发光二极管), or LEDs. The LEDs were embedded（植入的） in a certain place behind the m
41、ovie screen. They gave out infrared light. Sure enough, she showed, a pirated movie included odd stripes or spots if it had been recorded while the LEDs were on. It might be possible to use the LEDs to flash the date and time on the movie screen. The information would then appear in the illegal reco
42、rdings. Theater owners or police might use the information to track down the pirates. Cutting down on piracy might get more people into theaters to watch the real movie instead of an illegal copy. Six out of every ten films now produced arent profitable. They dont make enough money to recover how mu
43、ch was spent to make and market them. Such a poor payback can discourage filmmakers from producing anything but the types expected to become blockbuster hits. It might also keep smaller theaters from showing a wider variety of movie types. 32. From what Hadaia says in Paragraph 2, we can infer that
44、_. A. most people spend less money on pirates movesB. the pirates dont have to pay for the movie ticketsC. theater owners will increase the price of movie ticketsD. she strongly criticizes those who video movies in the theater33. Infrared lights are put on the movie screens to _. A. adjust the brigh
