in Rio de Janeiro this summerHer return to her high school recently included a chance for the young woman to tell what shes learned since running track for Wsubonsie more than fours year agoHer first piece of advice to the crowd of students was asking them to listen to their parentsThey see things you cant see，she saidIn high school I thought I was on the top of the worldIn Akinosuns case，her parents encouraged her to consider going to the University of Illinois，which at the time had a team that was coached by Olympic medal winner Tonja BufordBaileyI wouldnt be where I am today without my parents，she saidHer parents saw BufordBailey as a good fit to coach their daughter，something Akinosun said she didnt understand at the timeIt didnt take long，however，for her to see they were right and she ended up following BufordBailey to the University of Texas at Austin when the coach took a job thereAkinosun admitted it was three years before she told her parents they were rightBecoming an excellent athlete who can take part in the Olympics needs serious dedicationShe says her success came from viewing herself as an athletestudent instead of a studentathleteI always put track and field first，and then comes school，Akinosun saidA social life comes lastIts about sacrifices（牺牲）You cant be on the track team unless youre chosen，she addedMaking athletics the most important thing in her

your overall experienceBut there are things you can do to avoid some of the most common ripoffsLet me share my travel tips for how to avoid hidden fees，disappointed experiences and overpriced itemsBaggage FeesDepending upon the airline，you can pay 15to75for the first checked bag，and more for overweight bagsWhen possible，pack a bag lightly enough to a carryon or fly airlines that still allow free checked bags（two bags for Southwest and one for JetBlue）Many airline programs allow members with a high status to have a free checked bag，so check your statusOverpriced Hotel and Airport FoodTo avoid the overpriced water sold at airports，bring an empty water bottle with you through security at the airportThen，fill it up at a water fountain or ask a waiter at a coffee shop to fill it up for youPick up some snacks at a local corner store instead of hitting the hotel room mini bar，which can lead to expensive surprises on your final billTourist Trap RestaurantsIf youre visiting a restaurant or attraction that has online presence，Google it or search it on Yelp to see what the locals say about it and to find any available coupons（优惠券） that might get some extra savingsOften restaurants run deals on Yelp where if youcheck inat that restaurant and review it，you get a free dessert or 15% off the total bill，etcBy researching online，youll not only see whether there are any coupons or extra savings available，but people will tell you if the chef changed a month ago and the food is awful now25To have a free checked bag，you shall not Atake a light carryon Bhave a high status Ctake overweight bags Dchoose Southwest Airlines26If you want to drink free water at an airport，you can Atake a bottle of water through security Bgo to a water fountainCgo to a store at the airport Dorder a coffee at a coffee shop27The passage is probably written by Aa travel agent Ban economical person Can experienced traveler Da skilled networkerCWhen The New Republic magazine predicted who would win the 2016Nobel Prize in literature on Oct.6，it said：Not Bob DylanThats for sureBut the award came as a surprise to manyOn Oct 13，the famous US musician was named the Nobel laureate by the Swedish AcademyHe hascreated new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition，according to the organizationAlthough Dylan，75，is not really thought to be a literary writer，he has given the world a lot of creative works over 50years，especially when it comes to his folk songsIn his 1985album Biograph，Dylan wrote about the appeal of folk music to himRock songswerent serious enough or didnt reflect life in a realistic way，according to DylanBut folk，wasa more serious type of thingThe songs are filled with more sadness，more joymuch deeper feelingsDylans music and lyrics（抒情诗） spoke to many people during the 1960sHis lyrics were often about great political issues，such as the civil rights movementThe 1960s were a time of change when the young were making sure that their voices were heardThe idea is most famously expressed in Dylans The Times They Are aChangin（1964），which warns the world，You better start swimming or youll sink like a stoneFor the times they are achangin!There were complaints that a literary prize had been given to a singerBut ancientGreek poets Homer ND Sappho wrote poetic works that were meant to be listened to，that were meant to be performed，often with instruments and its the same way with Dylan，the Swedish Academys permanent secretary Sara Danius told CNNIt could even be said that giving the important prize to Dylan has brought back an old literary traditionThe millions whose lives Dylans words and music have changed will surely welcome the award28Dylan found folk music attractive because AIt brought joy to peopleBIt could be used to express feelings freelyCIt reflected life on a much deeper levelDIt needed more creativity than other types of music29Which of the following statements is TRUE about Dylan according to the

Cdoubtful DnegativeDInternet data shows that younger adults have become the main audience crazy about changing their appearanceOnce the world of the female in her fifties，plastic surgery（整形手术） has

becoming a moreidealbody among teenagersIn fact，search data confirms this phenomenonOne of the most popular sites visited from the search termplastic surgeryis the official site of the American

and keeping healthy，younger Internet users rush to sites that deal with personal appearance，such as those focused on bodybuilding，weight loss and skincare，and obviously plastic surgeryWhile television on surgery may be driving the interest of a younger audience，one factor appears to be a key in preventing such teens from changing their bodies：the failing USeconomyThere has been a decline in all plastic surgery topics over the last yearWhile older age continue to search for information on procedures such as liposuction（抽脂），its younger Internet users who in tough economic times are focusing on
