up, because i had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.one sunday, i was in the park with the children, and met megan who used to go to school with me. i told her about my situation. she suggested that i should do a course and get a qualification if i wanted to work with children. i didnt think i would be accepted because i didnt take many exams in school. she persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. my experience counted for a lot and i got on a part time course. i had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.now ive got a full-time job there. i shall always be thankful to megan. i wish i had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you arent top of the class at school.bw is the uks

theatrecharvard university in the united states has been ranked as the university with the best reputation in the world.the times higher education magazine has listed 200 top universities all over the world based on how they are regarded by a group of international college teachers. that is to say the list measures how universities are regarded, rather than how they actually performed.a subjective, word-of-mouth（口碑的）quality such as reputation has genuine economic value for universities, said simon marginson, professor of higher education at the university of melbourne in australia.reputation is not just an impression, though it might be not as reliable as performance by objective indicators（客观指标）, said prof marginson.based on the views of 13,000 college teachers around the world, it confirms the power of the big us universities, which dominate this list. seven of the top 10 are us universities, headed by harvard and massachusetts institute of technology (mit). furthermore, 14 of the top 20 are from the us. cambridge is the highest ranking uk university in the list, in third place, with oxford ranked as sixth.for students applying to university, reputation might be hard to quantify, but was an important part of the attractiveness, said the president of cambridge universitys students union, rahul mansigani.reputation makes a huge difference. if there is an idea that somewhere is great, it will get lots of good people applying whether its true or not. factors such as a sense of history and the presence of outstanding college teachers were part of the reputation of cambridge, he said.55. the underlined word “dominate” in paragraph 5 probably means _.a.affectb.decidec.controld.improve 56. what can be inferred from the text?no asian universities are among the top 10. at least five uk universities are among top 20.the times higher education magazine is from the us.reputation affects students decisions when choosing universities. 57. which of the following would be the best title of the passage?turning ideas into reputationworlds best universities ranked in order of reputationthe top 200 universities in the usareputable universities attractive to more studentsdin the famous fairy tale, snow white eats the queens apple and falls victim to a curse; in shakespeares novel, romeo drinks the poison and dies; some ancient chinese emperors took pills that contained mercury, believing that it would make them immortal, but they died afterward. poison has long been an important ingredient in literature and history, and it seems to always be associated with evil, danger and death. but how much do you really know about poison? an exhibition, the power of poison, opened last month at the american museum of natural history in new york, intended to give the audience a more vivid understanding of poison. the exhibition will continue until aug 2014, reported the new york times. the museum tour starts in a rainforest setting, where you can see live examples of some of the most poisonous animals caterpillars, frogs and spiders. golden poison frogs, for instance, arent much bigger than a coin, but their skin is covered in a poison that can cut off the signaling power of your nerves, and a single frog has enough venom to kill 10 grown humans. the exhibition also features interactive activities. in an ipad-based game, visitors are presented with three puzzling illnesses and asked to identify the poisons based on symptoms. in one case, for example, a pet dog is found sick in a backyard and visitors have to figure out whether it was the toad (蟾蜍), the leaky batteries in the trash or the dirty pond water that did it. “poisons can be bad for some things,” michael novacek, senior vice president of the museum, told nbc news. “yet they can also be good for others.” this is what visitors learn from the last part of the exhibition, which displays how poisons can be used favorably by humans, including for medical treatment. the blood toxins of vampire bats, for example, can prevent blood from clotting (凝结), which may protect against strokes. a poisonous chemical found in the yew tree is effective against cancer, which is what led to the invention of a cancer-fighting drug called taxol. one chemical in the venom of gila monsters can lower the blood sugar of its victims, so it has been used to treat diabetes. the benefits from natural poisons are not limited to just medicine. believe it or not, many substances that we regularly take in chili, coffee and chocolate, etc. owe their special flavors or stimulating effects to chemicals that plants make to poison insects.58. by mentioning snow white and romeo at the beginning of the story, the author intends to _.a. show that poison has long been involved in literatureb. show that poison is always linked with evil and deathc. draw readers attention to the topic of the articled. get reade
