15、ra says, “and writing was a career where it wasnt a certainty that youd have high income.”She became a doctor but still wanted to write something. However, being a doctor was so demanding that she didnt take up writing until her thirties. She produced a novela fictionalized version of her travel in

I worked on those and sent it back to her but didnt hear anything.” It wasnt long before Moira found another agent who was interested if she was willing to rewrite it from the first person to the third person.

23、 Nose Day (RND) is a well-known event in the UK. The aim of the day is to raise money for a charity called Comic Relief which helps people in need in Africa and in the UK.Comic Relief was started in 1985 by Richard Curtis. He wrote the series “Blackadder” as well as the famous films “Four Weddings a
24、nd a Funeral” and “Notting Hill. Richards idea to start Comic Relief was as a response to the severe lack of food in Ethiopia. Its called Red Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.Red Nose Day takes place every t
25、wo years in the spring and is now so well developed that many people consider it to be an unofficial national holiday. For example, many schools have non-uniform days.The slogan for the last RND was “Do Something Funny for Money” and the money collected was used to help fund projects in the followin

31、 would we want to sweat even more by exercising? Or is it just I who think like that? Sweat and clothes sticking to our bodies as we move make exercise seem rather uncomfortable. What can be done to fix it?Researchers at MIT have come up with a solution. Theyve developed a workout suit with flaps th
32、at open as the wearer begins sweating. As the person cools off, the flaps shrink until they assume their original position.Sounds cool, sounds practical. These flaps are lined with live, microbial ( 微生物的)cells. These cells can detect when the body is heating up too much, and in response, expand. Its
33、 just as if they were working within any other organism, recognizing patterns of heating and cooling, then responding appropriately to maintain body temperature. It seems kind of strange to have living cells (that arent your own) on you, right? Not to fear, these cells have been believed safe. Plus,
34、 theres a material in the suit that helps the flaps/cells hover ever so slightly above the exercisers skin. The flaps start opening as soon as people start feeling warm and sweaty, and the bit of space between the suit and the skin helps develop that feeling of cool and refreshing air as they move.
35、For more information about flaps, click here.According to G, researchers have also been working to apply this technology to running shoes as well. Moisture-responsive workout clothing has the potential to revolutionize sport fashion industry. People can stay drier, cooler and fresher at the end of t

Its possible that the comfort of these suits can make people enjoy exercising more and exercise with more intensity.32Whats the purpose of the first paragraph?ATo introduce the topic.BTo show his dislike of su

39、满分10分） How to Stay PositiveThere are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle (奇迹). The other is as though everything is a miracle. If you choose to be positive, these ideas can be helpful. 36Who in your life seems filled with positivity? Who inspires and challenges you to u
40、p your game? Consciously build a network of people who motivate you to be your best, then spend your time with them. Be that source of light for others, too. Feed yourself with positivity.37 Similarly, how you fuel yourself will determine your experience as well. Read inspiring books. Watch encourag
41、ing movies. Follow positive people on social media. You can also create a physical environment of positivity. Focus on what you can control.So much is out of our hands, isnt it? 38 Determine what you can control and put your energy there. For example, you can control your responses, actions, words,
42、and thoughts; you can be the change you wish to see in the world. You have more power than you realize. 39 Watch your vocabulary.Mother Teresa declined participation in an anti-war meet. When asked why, she replied that she did not want to give any attention to war, but shed gladly participate in a

Pay attention to your words.B. Seek advice from positive and active people.C. Surround
44、yourself with positive people.D. Focusing on that, however, can leave you feeling helpless.E. And when you keep your focus there, that power expands.F. Putting poor quality gas in your car will not help it run at best performance.G. If you focus on that change, then everything will change for the be
