5、Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, Tender Is the Night and his most famous classic novel, The Great Gatsby. A fifth, unfinished novel, The Love of the Last Tycoon was published after his death. Fitzgerald also wrote many short stories that dealt with themes of youth.His first literary work, a detec
6、tive story, was published in a school newspaper when he was 12. When he was 16, he was forced to leave St. Paul Academy for neglecting his studies. He attended Newman School, a prep school in Hackensack, New Jersey, in 19111912, and entered Princeton University in 1913 as a member of the Class of 19
7、17. There he became friends with future critics and writers Edmund Wilson (Class of 1916) and John Peale Bishop (Class of 1917), and wrote for the Princeton Triangle Club.

12、ow around the moving vehicles can keep him dry despite the exposure. Now a similar principle is being employed to create an umbrella that protects people from the rain using nothing more than an invisible air force field.Air Umbrella, developed by a Chinese company and recently funded by Kickstarter
13、, uses forced air rather than fabric to create a protective canopy that keeps people from getting wet in the rain.Its a clever concept and designers have done a good job of answering several questions about the product. For instance, the sound generated by the device is minimal, especially when comp
14、ared to the pitter-patter of the falling rain. It can create a protective canopy wide enough for two people to fit under and it performs well even in the heavy rain. The air shield (防护) can be cut through by high winds, but given that regular umbrellas typically fold over in similar windy conditions
15、, the air umbrella is still an upgrade.A few concerns do remain, however. For instance, the battery life is only about 15-30 minutes depending on the model, so youll still want to walk briskly to your next destination when its raining. Also, while the air shield might keep the rain away from you, it
16、s likely to splash all that blown-away water onto anyone else like a sprinkler (洒水车). So the device might draw the ire of anyone else walking with you, or any helpless bystanders.There are currently three different types to choose from if youre interested in investing. Air Umbrella-A is the lightest
17、 model, and is apparently designed specifically for females, according to the Chinese developers. It is about 12 inches in length and weighs a little over a pound, and it runs for 15 minutes per charge. Air Umbrella-B measures nearly 20 inches long and weighs 1.7 pounds, and lasts 30 minutes per cha
18、rge. Finally, Air Umbrella-C also lasts 30 minutes, but is scalable between 20 and 32 inches depending on your needs. 25. Why does the author mention a special driving experience in the first paragraph?A. To introduce the topic of the passage. B. To explain the need for an umbrella.C. To share a fee
19、ling with the readers. D. To prove a theory to the readers. 26. The Air Umbrella fails to work when _.A. there is little rain B. there is no wind C. it rains heavily D. the wind is strong 27. How does the author present concerns about the Air Umbrella?A. By giving figures. B. By giving examples. C.

It is estimated that there are two billion English language learners worldwide. Many of them are interested in attending an American college or uni
22、versity. To do so, foreign students need to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language better known as TOEFL. However, many foreigners are not wealthy enough to take the TOEFL. In addition, test-takers often have to travel overnight to reach an official testing site. The World Bank says an avera
23、ge Cambodian worker earns only about $1,000 per year. Approximately the cost of taking the TOEFL is 17.5 percent of the average workers yearly wage. It is not just individuals who find the test pricey. Some governments also find it prohibitive. Whats more, not everyone needs official results from th

Experts believe that the EFSET meets the highest value in language testing. It uses special computer software that makes the
25、 questions easier or harder, depending on ones performance. The EFSET measures all the English learners levels while the IELTS and TOEFL only measure learners levels from moderate (中等的) to advanced. The EFSET is unique in the sense that it gives free online access to anyone interested in measuring t
