howard university, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a supreme court bench somewhere. twenty-one years later i am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell. my grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. she was the first in our family to reach that goal. but one year after i started college, she developed cancer. i made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. it meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait. then i got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. in 1999, we adopted our first son. to lay eyes on him was fantastic and very emotional. a year later came our second adopted boy. then followed son no. 3. in 2003, i gave birth to another boy. you can imagine how fully occupied i became, raising four boys under the age of 8! our home was a complete zoo a joyous zoo. not surprising, i never did make it back to college full-time. but i never gave up the dream either. i had only one choice: to find a way. that meant taking as few as one class each semester. the hardest part was feeling guilty about the time i spent away from the boys. they often wanted me to stay home with them. there certainly were times i wanted to quit, but i knew i should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives. in 2007, i graduated from the university of north carolina. it took me over 21 years to get my college degree! i am not special, just single-minded. it always struck me that when youre looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when youre in the midst of it, it just seems normal. everything you want wont arrive in your life on one day. its a process. remember: little steps add up to big dreams.24. when the author went to howard university, her dream was to be _. a. a writer b. a teacher c. a judge d. a doctor25. why did the author quit school in her second year of college? a. she wanted to study by herself. b. she fell in love and got married. c. she suffered from a serious illness. d. she decided to look after her grandma.26. what does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph? a. failure is the mother of success. b. little by little, one goes far. c. every coin has two sides. d. well begun, half done.27. which of the following can best describe the author? a. caring and determined. b. honest and responsible. c. ambitious and sensitive d. innocent and single-mindedcscientists have produced new evidence suggesting eating lots of red and processed meat damages health. they found big meat eaters had a raised risk of death from all causes over a 10-year period. in contrast, a higher intake of white meat was associated with a slightly reduced risk of death over the same period.the us study, based on more than 500,000 people, found those whose diet contained the highest proportion (比例) of red or processed meat had a higher overall risk of death, and specifically a higher risk of cancer and heart disease than those who ate the least.people eating the most meat were eating about 160g of red or processed meat per day approximately a 6oz steak. those who ate the least were only getting about 25g per day approximately a small piece of bacon. just the opposite, those who ate the highest proportion of white meat had a lower risk of overall death, and a lower risk of fatal cancer or heart disease than those who ate the lowest proportion.meat is a major source of saturated (饱和的) fat, which has been associated with breast and colorectal cancer. in addition, lower meat intake has been linked to a reduction in risk factors for heart disease, including lower blood pressure and cholesterol (胆固醇) levels. the latest study adds to a growing body of research linking high red and processed meat consumption to an increased risk of ill health. ed yong, of the charity cancer research uk, said, “evidence from large studies tells us that cutting down on processed food, such as bacon or burgers, can reduce the risk of dying from cancer and other diseases.”dr barry popkin of the university of north carolina stressed there were health benefits from eating some red meat. but he added: “the need is for a major reduction in total meat intake, an even larger reduction in processed meat and other highly processed and salted animal source food products and a reduction in total saturated fat.” dr mark wahlqvist, a nutrition expert from australia, said eating small amounts of red meataround 30g a dayprovided a good source of key nutrients. he said, “fresh, lean red meat of these amounts is likely to be of more benefit than harm.” 28. according to the passage, we know _.a. big meat eaters eat a 6oz steak per dayb. big meat eaters have heart disease ten years earlierc. people eating more meat will suffer from a heart attackd. people eating more red meat have a higher risk of death29. processed meat is a kind of _.a. red meatb. white meatc. vegetable with a similar taste of meatd. meat prepared by producers30. according to the passage, how should we eat red meat in a healthy way?a. we should eat red meat as we like.b. we should eat proper amount of red meat per day.c. we should reduce the amount of fresh, red lean meat.d. we should completely cut out red meat from our diet.31. what does the passage mainly talk about?a. too much red meat consumption contributes to ill health.b. a well-balanced diet accounts for a healthy life.c. a higher intake of white meat brings benefits.d. red meat contains saturated fat.dthere are millions of used cell phones in the world today; the most of them just lay in our houses without any purpose. everyday dozens of new cell phone models appeared.today, you can find what
