But I also want you to understand that the dream itself comes 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 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 health care nonprofit. Becoming a mother while in that job opened my mind to launching a breast pump bag business. Now I run a highly successful company that I started up on my own.Figure out what you are good at and what you are passionate (充满激情的) about. Keep an open mind; the initial path you choose may lead you into other areas. Don t 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 Mom23.The author wrote this letter to her daughters mainly to _.A. share her own past regrets with themB. make some suggestions for their future livesC. tell them how she has succeeded in businessD. encourage them to be who they want to be24.

Proud and humorous.CThe negative health effects of being economical on sleep during the week cant be reversed by marathon weekend sleep sessions, according to a new study. Researchers have long known that routine sleep deprivation can cause weight gain and increase other heath risks, including diabetes. But for those who force themselves out of bed bleary-eye each weekday after too few hours of shut-eye, hope springs eternal that shutting off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and reverse any ill effects.The research, published in Current Biology, crushes those hopes. Despite complete freedom to sleep in and nap during a weekend recovery period, participants in a sleep laboratory who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced metabolic disruption that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long term. While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of insufficient sleep, those gains were wiped out when people plunged back into their same sleep-deprived schedule the next Monday.“If there are benefits of catch-up sleep, theyre gone when you go back to your routine. Its very short-lived, said Kenneth Wright, director of the sleep and chronobiology laboratory at the University of Colorado at Boulder, who oversaw the work. “These health effects are long-term. Its kind of like smoking once was people would smoke and wouldnt see an immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think sleep is in the early phase of where smoking used to be.”Michael Grandner, director of the sleep and health research program at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, said the study reinforces the concept that people need to stop thinking of sleep as a balance sheet. Imagine a person who ate nothing but cheeseburgers and frenchfries Monday through Friday, but dined only on celery and kale on the weekend and tried to call that a healthy diet, he said. Drastically cutting calories all week and then bingeing on a giant pizza on Saturday wouldnt restore balance either. That, he argued, is essentially what people are doing when they skip sleep on weekdays with the idea they can make up for it on the weekend.Wright said that the study suggests people should prioritize sleepcutting out the optional “sleep stealers” such as watching television shows or spending time on electronic devices. Even when people dont have a choice about losing sleep because of child-care responsibilities or job schedules, they should think about prioritizing sleep in the same way they would a healthy diet or exercise.27. Smoking is mentioned in Paragraph 4 _. A. as an example of short-term negative health effectsB. to show how short-lived catch-up sleep benefits are C. to illustrate the effects of insufficient sleep on peoples health D. as a lifestyle choice causing immediate effects on peoples health28. Those skipping sleep on weekdays and catching up sleep on weekends have the same mindset as those who believe that _. A. cheeseburgers and frenchfries are healthy diets B. Saturday pizzas contain a huge amount of caloriesC. celery and kale are healthy if eaten on the weekendD. junk food can be balanced by occasional healthy diets29. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Weekend recovery sleep absolutely brings benefits to peoples health .B. To some degree,routine sleep deprivation can cause long-term health risks.C. Valuing sleep, healthy diets and exercise help people keep fit.D. Sleep will soon be like smoking as an unhealthy lifestyle choice.30. The passage is intended to _. A. call on people to improve their sleep schedules B. deny the health benefits of weekend recovery sleep C. reinforce the negative effects of routine sleep deprivationD. introduce a new study of the correlation between sleep and health DI was talking recently with my mom when our conversation reminded me of a funny story.“This is extremely funny,”I said.“One time I was driving with my friend Rudy.”My mom cut me off impatiently.“Ive heard this one before, honey,”she said.“You dont need to tell it again.”Storytelling is supposed to be a bonding experience. When we share our personal narratives, we disclose something about our values, our history, our outlook on life. The self-disclosure builds closeness and is a signal of faith in the relationship.But the bonding benefits of storytelling only work if youre good at it. Many of us, even those who tell stories for a living, are not. We repeat stories weve told before. We tell tales that dont have a point. We fail to pay attention to our audience, choosing stories that are inappropriate or ignoring clues that our listener is bored, annoyed or confused. And we dont know how to edit ourselves, throwing in every detail we find fascinating, no matter how irrelevant.“People cant become engaged with a story that is incoherent,”says Melanie Green, a professor of communication at the University at Buffalo, who has been studying storytelling for 20 years. “Theyre too busy trying to figure out what is going on.”Dr. Greens new research, which is yet to be published, shows that people who tell stories as opposed to just delivering facts or opinion are judged by others to be more warm and likable. And her previous research has shown that women find men who are good storytellers to be more attractive and desirable as long-term partners, most likely because storytelling shows a man knows how to connect, to share emotions and, maybe, to be vulnerable.But 10 new studies by researchers at Washington University in St. Louis and the University of Georgia found that people who repeat the same stories over and over are viewed as less sincere and less authentic. In other words, theyre seen as not presenting their true self to the listener. The research also found that listeners are less interested in engaging with someone retelling a story theyve heard him or her tell before.(Para 10) Scientists now know that a well-told story boosts the release of two key neurochemicals in the brain: dopamine, which focuses our attention, and oxytocin, which helps us bond. This produces a state called immersion, in which a listener is both absorbed by a story and willing to be persuaded, says Paul Zak, a neturoeconomist and professor of economic sciences, psychology and management at Claremont Gradtutate University, in Claremont, Calif., who studies the neurobiology of storytelling. To get listeners to enter a state of immersion, the storyteller needs them to pay attention and to become emotionally engaged in the outcome of the story. This emotional engagement is what increases the listeners attachment to the storyteller.Dr. Zak, who is also the CEO of Immersion Neuroscience, a technology company that measures the neurological changes of people going through immersive experiences such as listening to stories or watching movies, says his research has found that all compelling plots share certain elements. They have an exciting start “It has to be a James Bond opening, some reason for me to want to listen to the story and become absorbed by it,” Dr. Zak says and then build both emotion and tension quickly. They have characters that are interesting and likable enough that people care about them. And they have action and a satisfying resolution to the tension.Good storytellers use their voice to convey emotion, passion, drama all cues that show they really care about the story. Emotional stories ones that make people laugh or feel moved, touched, angry or outraged have the most impact, says the University at Buffalos Dr. Green. “If it sparks an emotion in you, theres a good chance it will spark an emotion in your audience,” she says.31. The conversation between the author and her mother is quoted to _.A. prove that people like to repeat an interesting storyB. show what they usually talk about in their daily lifeC. disclose that there is a generation gap between themD. illustrate that people dont like to be told a story theyve heard before32. According to the passage, a good storyteller _.A. will never repeat a storyB. will make friends with the audienceC. will try to tell a story with as many details as possibleD. will make necessary adjustments while telling a story33. Paragraph 10 mainly talks about _.A. new findings on storytelling B. the science behind a good storyC. how to create immersion in your storyD. how to help listeners engage with a story34. The underlined word “compelling” probably means _. A. very intensiveB. very touching C. very absorbingD. very complicated35. We can conclude from the passage that_.A. Listeners will by no means enjoy repeated stories.B. Men who are good at telling stories are more popular with women.C. People who tell stories are as attractive as news anchors who report news.D. People who repeat the same stories may receive criticism from the audience.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)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。It is one of the oldest magic tricks in the book
