BDear Daughters,Most parents tell their children, this often. But I also want you to understand that the dream itself es from hard work, some good luck and good timing.Girls, here are some words of wisdom as you make your way in the world, from an entrepreneur（企业家）and from your mama.1. Be open-minded to changing your path (even several times) along the wayIn high school, I wanted to be a politician. I left my hometown and went off to college in Washington, DC. There I discovered that I loved to support women. It taught me that Im creative, a strong leader, and great at marketing. As a result, I moved on to be the head of a national healthcare nonprofit. Being a mother while in that job opened my mind to launching a breast pump bag（储奶袋）business. Now I run a highly successful pany that I started up on my own.Figure out what you are good at and what you are passionate about. Keep an open mind, the initial(开始的，最初的) path you choose may lead you into other areas.Dont waste your money or time, but constantly change what you are doing professionally based on what you are learning about yourself.2. Failure is critical to your successI wont tell you to feel good about failure. Failure can be heartbreaking. But I will tell you that every failure Ive had along the way has absolutely made me better.Failing the big math exam in high school and going to summer school was embarrassing. I eventually passed, and Ive never failed an exam again. I learned from that experience to ask for help. Now, I ask for help in business all the time.Being passed over for a significant job opportunity that I was more than qualified for because of unfair assumptions (being too young for the role) hurt me. I had a three-month pity party. And then I went out and got a big job at a national organization at age 27. Its okay to get angry! Take that and turn it into positive action.Im proud to be a role model to you as a mom and an entrepreneur. I hope I inspire you to believe that you can be anything you want and you can have everything on your list. It will be my pleasure to watch your lives unfold before my eyes.Love, Your Mom25.

One should not often ask for help but depend on himself. D. Stick to your way until you succeed.CWhy do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers conclude that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over. According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmersmarkets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal. After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Dont Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym. In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity or extreme overweight among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% and is growing.28. In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola?A. They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently. B. They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.C. They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles.D. They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.29. What is probably Mireille Guilianos suggestion to Americans on how to keep in shape? A. Try to avoid food B. Go to the gym often C. Stop when you feel full D. Eat fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs 30. This text is mainly the relationship between _.A. Americans and the French B. life style and obesityC. children and adults D. fast food and overweight31. Where does this text probably e from?A. A TV interview B. A food advertisement C. A health report D. A book reviewDImagine youre standing in line to buy an after-school snack at a store. You step up to the counter and the cashier scans your food. Next, you have to pay. But instead of scanning a QR code (二维码) with your smartphone, you just hold out your hand so the cashier can scan your fingerprint. Or, a camera scans your face, your eyes or even your ear.Now, this type of technology might not be far away. As technology panies move away from the traditional password, biometric security (生物识别技术), which includes fingerprint, face and voice ID, is being increasingly popular. In xx, Apple introduced the iPhone5s, one of the first smartphones with a fingerprint scanner. Since then, using ones fingerprint to unlock a phone and make mobile payments has bee monplace, bringing convenience to our lives. And since last year, Samsung has featured eye-scanning technology in its top smartphones, while Apples new iPhone X can even scan a users face.But despite its popularity, experts warn that biometrics might not be as secure as wed imagined. “Biometrics, ideally, are good,” John Michener, a biometrics expert, told tech website Inverse. “In practice, not so much.”When introducing the new iPhones Face ID feature at Apples Keynote Event in September, Phil Schiller, Apples senior vice president, said, “The chance that a random person in the population could look at your iPhone X and unlock it with their face is about one in a million.”But its already been done. In a video posted on munity website Reddit on Nov 3, two brothers showed how they were each able to unlock the same iPhone X using their own face, Quartz reported. And they arent even twins.“We may expect too much from biometrics,” Anil Jain, a puter science professor at Michigan State University, told CBS News. “No security systems are perfect.”Earlier this year, Jain found a way to trick biometric security. Using a printed copy of a thumbprint, she was able to unlock a dead persons smartphone for police, according to tech website Splinter.“Its good to see biometrics being used more,” Jain told CBS News, “because it adds another factor for security. But using multiple security measures is the best defense.”32. What is the latest technology to unlock a smartphone according to the article? A. QR code scanning. B. Eye scanning. C. Face scanning. D. Fingerprint scanning.33. Whats a major problem of the iPhone Xs Face ID system? A. It often fails to recognize its owners face. B. It takes too long to unlock the phone. C. Face data could be used for other purposes. D. Different faces could be used to unlock the same phone.34. What does Anil Jain think of biometric security? A. It still needs much improvement. B. It should be used with other security measures. C. Its more secure than traditional measures. D. It has caused much trouble for police.35. The author wrote this article mainly to _. A. discuss the security problems of biometrics B. show how biometrics has changed our livesC. describe the popularity of biometricsD. point out various problems with biometrics第二节 根据短文内容, 从短文后的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。（共5小题，每小题2分；满分10分）A god had a horse.
