amazon 16 years ago. i came across the fact that the internet usage was growing at 2300 percent per year. i d never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me, i had just turned 30 years old , and id been married for a year, i told my wife mackenzie that i wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldnt work since most start-ups dont , and i wasnt sure what to expect, mackenzie told me i should go for it. as a young boy, id been a garage inventor, id always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion. i was working at a financial firm in new york city with a bunch of very smart people, and i had a brilliant boss that i much admired. i went to my boss and told him i wanted to start a company selling books on the internet. he took me on a long walk in central park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “that sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didnt already have a good job.” that logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but ultimately, i decided i had to give it a shot. i didnt think id regret trying and failing. and i suspected i would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all. after much consideration, i took the less safe path to follow my passion, and im proud of that choice, for all of us, in the end, we are our choice.【文章解读】文章讲述的是亚马逊网站创始人的故事。才智是与生俱来的，而善良是后天可以选择的。天赋易得，选择难做。在贝佐斯16岁的时候，他惊叹于互联网的迅速发展，于是萌发了建立网上书店的想法。在得到妻子的支持以后，他辞去了待遇很好的工作，虽然老板曾试图留住他，但贝佐斯最终决定把自己的想法付诸实践。21. what inspired the author with the idea of

goodness was put into an easy-to-swallow pill that you were told might prevent strokes(中风) and heart attacks you would probably be putting in an order tomorrow. researchers believe they may have come up with just that after trials. the daily pill contains a chemical called lycopene which makes tomatoes red and is known to break down fat in the vessels(血管). a cambridge university study found taking the pills improved blood flow and the lining of vessels in patients with pre-existing heart conditions. it also increased the flexibility(灵活性) of their vessels by 50 percent. the scientists believe it could limit the damage caused by heart disease-responsible for 180,000 deaths a year-and help cut the 49,000 deaths a year from strokes. they also hope it could benefit those with arthritis(关节炎), diabetes(糖尿病) and even slow the progress of cancer. each pill is equal to eating around 61 pounds of ripe tomatoes. studies have shown eating a mediterranean-style diet rich in tomatoes fish, vegetables, nuts and olive oil can significantly reduce cholesterol(胆固醇) and help prevent cardiovascular disease. preliminary results from a two-month trial, in which the pill was given to 36 heart disease patients and 36 healthy volunteers with an average age of 67, were presented at a meeting of the american heart association. it was shown to improve the function of the endothelium - the layer of cells lining blood vessels. it also improved their sensitivity to nitric oxide, the gas which causes the enlargement of the vessels in response to exercise. ian wilkinson, head of cambridge universitys clinical trials unit, said “these results are potentially very significant and it meets the goal, but we need more trials to see if they translate into fewer heart attacks and strokes.” further studies are planned, with researchers hoping it could offer a choice for heart disease sufferers who can not take the cholesterol-lowing drugs. mike knapton, head of the british heart foundation, said, “although this showed lycopene improved blood flow in people with heart disease, thats a long way from demonstrating that taking it could improve outcomes for people with heart disease. the best way to get the benefits of a good diet is to eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.”【文章解读】本文是科技发明的科技报道文。主要介绍了医疗界的最新发明：西红柿丸能够有利于治疗心脏病等，但该药物仍处在试验阶段。28. what can we infer from

old healthy people. 【答案】d【命题立意】考查细节辨认题。【解析】根据文章第四段的第一句话的preliminary results from a two-month trial, in which the pill was given to 36 heart disease patients and 36 healthy volunteers with an average

shanghai yesterday, chinese women scored three points higher than men in the english proficiency index(英语水平指数) released by ef education, a language training company, mainly english. worldside, women

ranked the 36th in the index of 54 countries and regions where english is not the native language. thats down by seven places comparing with that last year. the chinese mainland belongs to the low-proficiency tier(低水平层次) and is ranked just above thailand in asia. this years index has increased the weight of listening tests, while decreasing the importance of grammar and vocabulary exams,

education experts said. the study compared test scores of more than 1.7 million adults in the 54 countries and regions. sweden, denmark and the netherlands have the best command of english, while libya has the lowest english proficiency level. european countries generally performed well. but italy, spain and portugal, some of the countries at the heart of the euro zone crisis, are being dragged down by poor english, according to the report. singapore is 12th, the best in asia, followed by malaysia and india, south korea; at 21st, and japan, at 22nd, performed disappointingly low despite their focus on education; the report said. one in every four people frequently uses english at work on chinas mainland, nevertheless nearly 15 percent said they never use english, lower than the world average level, according to the study.【文章解读】本文是新闻报道。文章主要介绍这项调查结果：中国大陆的英语水平由于使用不够好明显低于其他国家。32.what is ef education?a. it is a language test organization. b. it is an english teaching
