阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

I was 11 when you were born, and in your first few years I often looked after you, bathed and dressed you and took you out for walks. I have 1 memories of your childhood. Of 2 you up as a “rock star”. Of watching you dance 3 nightclothes. Of your insistence that I make your school lunch  4 I put so much more peanut butter on your  5 than anyone else. Of the  6 phone call we ever had—an echo(共鸣) of my own university years—when you wanted to 7 university and study dance.

Since we have grown up, I have lived through you, although you may not know it. You had the opportunity I so 8 wanted but never got—to train in the dancing arts. I encouraged our parents to support you because I have always 9 how my life would be if they hadn’t chosen a(n) 10 career path for me, their eldest child.

I know you have  11 to hunt for work and confidence, and that you probably wonder sometimes if you made the right choice.  12 , I am happy for you and proud that I played some small role in helping you to  13 your dream.

There’s a  14 between us now. It has grown since I first left home, and in the  15 I missed your teenage years. That 16 me greatly. I imagine that you believe we have very little in common — a  17 in the city and a biologist in West Africa—but in you I  18 some of my own dreams realized.

But beyond that, even at 12 or 13 I felt as much a mother to you as an elder sister. So, on the rare  19 when we see each other, I want to know everything, from your concerns, hopes to delights.

I wish I, as an adult, could hold you at arm’s  20 .I hope we can one day be sisters or friends again. I still make a tasty peanut butter sandwich for you.

七选五

根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Coming face-to-face with your inadequacies can be painful, to say the least. It challenges the way that you believe people see you and even makes you question yourself.    1 . But handling negative feedback properly will not only make you look well-behaved, but it could eventually help you grow as a person. Here’s how to do it.

Be objective about criticism

Before you jump to conclusions and begin to challenge the other person’s opinion, take a step back and look at it all-sidedly. 2 , don’t immediately allow your emotions to get the better of you, but rather, take a moment to consider whether the criticism is at all accurate.  3 .

Be open to the idea of change

4 . And it may be because of a concept called “cognitive dissonance” (认知失调) that can prevent us from changing even when that’s what we need most. “People have a view of themselves or the world that they only seek to confirm, not adjust or change,” Dr. Benn, a psychologist explains. “They may ignore criticism because they wish to avoid having to change, or because it makes them feel bad, or because they feel it is not helpful.”

Ask questions

If you’re open to using the criticism as a springboard to improvement, you will likely need more information. The initial moment you hear the criticism may not be the best time to ask for more details. Your emotions will be riding high, and you may not be particularly willing to accept extra information. 5 . “Engage with the person who criticized you, asking what you can do differently or how you can do better,” says Dr. Benn. Even if you don’t agree with their advice, thank them and promise to consider it.

A. Most of us are pretty stubborn

B. When you can’t hear clearly

C. Next time you get a bad review

D. Your immediate reaction may be to defend yourself

E. But it’s best to avoid getting into an argument

F. Give yourself a chance to really take in the information and evaluate it

G. However, when you feel ready, it could be worth revisiting the subject with the person who criticized you

Those who claim bananas are fattening argue that bananas cause the body to make lots of insulin (胰岛素), and insulin causes fat growth.

How much insulin we produce is related to how fast food becomes sugar in our bloodstream. How can you know if food makes a lot of sugar quickly? The glycemic index(血糖指数), or GI rating tells us. Foods with GI scores above 75 are considered high-GI foods, leading to faster sugar development. Bananas have a GI of 62, which is considered low.

Weight loss can be a struggle for anyone, but it is especially hard for diabetics (糖尿病患者). A study looked at how the starch from unripe bananas affected the weight of a group of obese diabetics. After four weeks of a diet high in bananas, diabetics lost significantly more weight than on a control diet. They also saw improvements in insulin sensitivity from the banana diet.

What’s more, bananas have been shown to cut risks of strokes, diabetes and cancers (Bananas are the most powerful fruit for lowering the risk of kidney cancer.). Bananas are also a rich source of fiber, which has been shown to help weight loss. Bananas that still have some green on the skin are even higher in fiber.

Skins from green bananas can be taken and, after removing the stem and dark tip, cut into small pieces 2-3 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. These pieces can be made into a tea or added to a dish. When you eat the skins, be sure you are eating organic bananas. The flesh of regular bananas is low in pesticides, but the skins are not.

1. What conclusion can we draw from Paragraphs 1 & 2?

A. Bananas are likely to make people fat.

B. Insulin determines the amount of sugar.

C. Low-GI foods can turn into sugar more slowly.

D. The faster the food becomes sugar, the less insulin.

2.What does the author say about bananas?

A. Including bananas in diets is good for health.

B. Bananas can cure people suffering kidney cancer.

C. Eating organic bananas protect people from strokes.

D. Bananas’ abundant fiber improves insulin sensitivity.

3.What is discussed in the last paragraph?

A. The use of banana skins.

B. The benefits of banana skins.

C. The importance of banana skins.

D. The ways of choosing organic bananas.

4.In which section of a newspaper can we read this passage?

A. Education.   B. Health.   C. Culture.   D. Science.

A

Reflecting on the past about those decisions or actions that can’t be reversed(推翻) and being occupied with thoughts of "What if?" is no way to live. But there are a few things in life I’d probably do differently if I had the chance.

I once majored in architecture — something I had been crazy about for as long as I could remember — and then I suddenly had a change of heart. I made an appointment with my adviser, and told him I was no longer certain I wanted to pursue a career in architecture.

"Don’t give up on your childhood dream!" "He’s right," I thought. "I should just stick it out and I shouldn’t disappoint the little girl who once loved architecture."

It was awful. I was agonized, holding on to a childhood dream that had long since faded.  When I talked with a friend about it a year later, he asked: "Right now, what do you want to do with your life?" That’s when I came to the realization that dreams change over time and that you should give up the childhood dream if it’s not what you want as an adult. Luckily, it wasn’t too late. After some serious thought, I changed my major to journalism. It wasn’t something I had always imagined myself pursuing — but at that moment, it was what I wanted.

We grow up, and sometimes our dreams change — and that’s perfectly OK. You just need to ask yourself every once in a while, "Is this still what I want?" If the answer is no, move on and start chasing a new one.

1.What does the author suggest in Paragraph 1?

A. Past actions should be treasured.

B. It’s unwise to regret all the time.

C. Life would be dull without "What if?".

D. We make better decisions by looking back.

2.Why didn’t the author change her major immediately?

A. Changing a major was uncommon.

B. Her advisor forced her not to do that.

C. She thought it a betrayal of her younger self.

D. She didn’t want her childhood dream to fade.

3.What lesson did the author learn from the experience?

A. Don’t follow others’ career advice.

B. It’s OK to switch to our real love.

C. Improve us before realizing our dream.

D. Childhood dreams are hard to insist on.
