BHard Work Makes Dreams Come True
Astronaut Ellen Ochoa shows that with a good education and hard work, you can reach for the stars. Ochoa is
the first Hispanic astronaut woman to fly into space.
As a child, Ochoa didn’t know what she wanted to be when she grew up. But her mother always told her to
stay in school and study hard. She listened to her mother. When she was 13 years old, she won a spelling contest. In
high school, Ochoa spent many hours each week studying for all her classes. She finished with the best grades in
her class. After high school, Ochoa went to college. One day in college she heard that the U.S. government had
chosen six women to become astronauts. At that time, Ochoa decided to become an astronaut, too.
Her many years of hard work paid off at last. She was asked to be an astronaut in 1990. In April, 1993 in the
space shuttle(航天飞机) named Discovery, she made history by becoming the first Hispanic woman to travel to
space. Ochoa and the other astronauts had many jobs while on the Discovery. One of her tasks was to use the
shuttle’s robot arm to move large objects. Ochoa used a computer to make the arm pick up a satellite and put it into
space. A satellite is a spacecraft that moves around the earth or some other objects. Satellites can take pictures and
gather information about planets and stars. During her second trip in 1994, she used the robot arm again. She used
the arm to pull in a satellite from space. The satellite had been used to study the air around the earth. Then Ochoa
went to two more shuttle trips. Altogether, she spent a whole month in space. That’s more than 700 hours.
Ochoa knows that she is a hero to many young people. She often tells them the same thing her mother told her
when she was a little girl. “Get a good education and believe in yourself,” says Ochoa.
24. When did Ochoa decide to become an astronaut?
A. When she was in college. B. When she was 13 years old.
C. Before she went to high school. D. After she went to work.
25. On the Discovery, Ochoa used the robot arm to ______ .

26. Ochoa probably advises the young people to ______ .
A. fly into space one day B. become scientists some dayC. do their best in school D. learn how to use robot arms
C
The British love word-play and they’re enthusiastic about protecting the use of their language. In recent years,
books about the grammar, pronunciation and punctuation (标点) of English have been written by the dozen, and
sold extremely well, reflecting people’s love of the English language. People want to protect the “correct” use of
their language, but also to keep its ability to develop along with society. Lynne Truss’s book Eats, Shoots & Leaves
is an excellent example of these two opposite ideas. Its title shows the way that punctuation can change meaning in
a sentence. “Eats shoots and leaves” is a perfectly normal description of a panda’s diet: he eats the shoots(嫩芽)
and leaves of bamboo trees. But the position of the comma (逗号) turns those nouns into verbs, and makes up a
ridiculous little story: the panda eats (his dinner), he shoots (a gun), and he leaves (the building). It’s a silly joke,
but it shows how changing something as simple as a comma can change the entire meaning of a sentence.
Published in 2003, Eats, Shoots & Leaves was an unexpectedly huge success. It is easy to assume the typical
reader of this kind of book as the humourless type. However, the book has sold thousands and thousands of copies
—it must be attractive to a wide range of people. The book’s winning secret is this: it makes some serious points
about language and punctuation, but also has an amusing aspect, and uses stories and jokes to show its points. It has
invited some tough criticism, too, especially from the US. On a broader range, Eats, Shoots & Leaves has opened
up a lot of public argument on Truss’s ideas. Whether they agree with her or not, punctuation and grammar has
become a popular topic to discuss.
In every generation there will be people who think that the standard of language is dropping, and who are
more than happy to write to the newspapers to express their concern and opinions. Truss’s book also interest those
who think that texting and blogging (博客) is lowering the standard of literacy(读写能力). Whether the standard of
the English language is decreasing, or simply evolving into new forms, the success of Eats, Shoots & Leaves proves
that this is a subject that many English speakers find interesting and important.
27. The title of the book Eats, Shoots & Leaves is a joke which shows ______.
A. a funny feeling B. a tradition in writing
C. a grammatical point D. a fact about animals
28. The book has been successful because ______.
.
A it presents the new research on English
B. it solves a serious English language problem
C. it shows the British like to teach English to other people
D. it causes concern for proper use of language in a fun way
29. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The English language was better in the past.
B. The English language is being improved by technology.
C. There is often dissatisfaction with the standard of English.
D. There have always been arguments on the use of punctuation.
D
You’re rushing to school and a man ahead of you suddenly falls down. Do you stop to help? In a study of
,
bystanders it was found that some people look away or keep on walking rather than stop and get involved.
“There is an inclination(倾向) to decide that no action is needed,” says Ervin Staub, a psychologist at the
University of Massachusetts at Amherst, who studies the role of bystanders. “ The first thoughts that come into
your mind often keep you from offering help.”
Time and again, good and caring people fail to come to the aid of others. They know they should act and yet,
for reasons they themselves don’t understand, people sometimes don’t respond. Longtime researchers of bystander
behavior continue to struggle with the question, “Why?”
One thing we do know is that the more ambiguous a situation is, the less likely people are to help. Let’s say
you see vapors(水汽) coming out of a building. You ask yourself, “Is it steam(蒸汽) or smoke?” If you are not sure,
you look to other people for a clue about how to react. If you see other people doing nothing, you think, “Of course,
that’s just steam.” You don’t want it to be smoke, because then you would have to do something about it.
Another one is known as “ the bystander effect”. This says that the more people there are observing an
emergency, the less responsible each one of them personally feels. For example, if you are the only person in the
world who can act to save someone in a dangerous situation, you are more likely to act. However, if you are one of
100,000 people who could save the situation, you would be happier if one of the other 99,999 people did it!
“If you notice trouble, force yourself to stop and judge the situation instead of walking on,” says Ervin Staub.
Then try to involve other people; you don’t have to take on all the responsibility of being helpful. According to
Staub, it is sometimes just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, “It looks like we should do
something.” Once you take action, most people will follow you and also offer help.
30. Ervin Staub probably agrees that _____.
A. the bystanders force them to solve the troubles
B. people’s first thoughts usually prevent them from helping
C. the researchers often lead to the embarrassment
D. the person next to you often asks you to deal with emergency
31. The word “ambiguous” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_____”.
A. difficult B. dangerous C. unclear D. unpleasant32. The writer uses “ the bystander effect” to show that _____.
A. people usually think others a lot before the difficulties
B. people like to carry out the responsibility in emergency
C. people often share their ideas when they’re in dangerous situations
D. people are likely to behave in the same way as most other people do
33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Is it important to offer help?
B. Is it difficult to get involved?
C. To stand there or take actions?
D. To change the decision or stick it?

Becoming a Minimalist
I have too many things. My bedroom is often very messy. I have shelves with dirty books I
never read and CDs 1 don't listen to. My drawers are filled with clothes I never wear. I was
getting upset that I never had any space in my bedroom. Then I read about
minimalism. Minimalism suggests that you only keep the most necessary and important
thingsand get rid of (处理掉)everything else. After reading about minimalism I felt
encouraged to solve my problem.

to charity. I sold some of my CDs and books online.Although I know thatI would never need
thesethings again ,I still foundit very difficutto get rid of them.My brain tried to stop me

room with some fresh space. And on organized bedroom also makes me have a clear and
organized mind! The main idea behind minimalism is to cut down what you own, and
by doing this you can really valuethethings you have, It’s not easy to be a minimalist. We
are often told that it is betterto have more things. Advertisements try to make us
believethat we will only be happy by spending more money to buy more things. Of
course I’m not a perfect minimalist—I’ve only just started I still own a lot of things which I
don’t really need , but 1 think thiswas a good start. In the future I will be more mindful of
what I buy. And I will continue to make an effort to get rid of what I don‘t’l need.34. What does minimalism.suggest?
