But on Thursday, Vestures became the only American to climb to the top of the worlds 14 highest mountains.

16、His last hike was up Mount Annapurna, in Asias snowcapped Himalayas. At 26,545 feet, its peak is the 10th highest in the world. It is the mountain that inspired him to start climbing.” It tends to be the trickiest, the most dangerous,” said Vestures.” Theres no simple way to climb it. There are thre

17、atening avalanches (雪崩) and ice falls that protect the mountain.” In high school, Vestures read French climber Maurice Herzogs tale of climbing the icy Annapuma. Herzogs story was of frostbite (冻伤) and difficulty and near-death experiences. Vestures was hooked right away. Vestures got his start on W

19、es, all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it,” said Vestures.” If we have the patience and the respect, and if were here at the right time, under the right circumstances, they allow us to go up, and allow us to come down.” Whats next for a man who cant stop climbing? “Im go

24、work at six oclock. He felt tired. He sat down in a comfortable chair. Mrs. Ball brought him a cup of tea. “I have made some cakes,” she said. “Would you like one?” “Yes, please,” said Mr. Ball “I have worked hard today and I feel tired. What have you done today?” “I have washed some clothes,” said

25、Mrs. Ball, “they are clean now. After dinner I will iron them. I have cooked a very good meal for you. It is a fish. What other things have I done today? Let me think. Oh, yes, now I remember, I have mended some socks. Your socks and Johns had holes in them. You can wear them now.” “You have worked

26、hard today, too,” said Mr. Ball. “Have the children worked hard? Have they helped you?” “Yes, they have,” said Mrs. Ball, “the girls have helped me.

29、nt and worthwhile (值得做的)and the sources of what we call a sense of “pleasure”finding life enjoyableare not always the same. Women are often told “You cant have it all.” Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is: “You choose a career, so you cant except to have closer relationships or a happy fa

30、mily life.” or “You have a wonderful husband and childrenwhats all this about wanting a career?” But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being, if they are to feel good about themselves.Our study shows that, for women, well-being has two aspects. One is mastery, which includes

31、self-respect, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression. Mastery is closely related to the “doing” side of life, to work and activity. Pleasure is the other aspect, and it is made up of happiness, satisfaction and optimism. It is tied more closely to the “feeling” s

32、ide of life. The two are independent of each other. A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa (反之亦然). For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side co

33、uld be damaged for a time.The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women, and correct past mistakes. In the past ,women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being. But we know that both mastery and pleasure

34、are important. And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work. In our study, all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery than women who were not employed.A womans well-being is developed when she takes on multiple (多项的) roles. At least by middle adulthood, the

35、 women who were involved in a combination of rolesmarriages, motherhood, and employmentwere the highest in well-being, in spite of warning about stress and strain. It can be inferred (推断) from the first paragraph that _ .A. for women, a sense of “mastery” is more important than a sense of “pleasure”

36、B. for women, a sense of “pleasure” is more important than a sense of “mastery”C. women cant have a sense of “mastery” and a sense of “pleasure” at the same timeD. a sense of “mastery” and a sense of “pleasure” are both necessary to women The authors attitude towards women having a career is _ .A. n

37、egativeB. neutralC. positiveD. Realistic One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social role, _ .A. it will be easier for her to overcome stress and strainB. she will be more successful in her careerC. her chances of getting promoted will be greaterD. her life will be rich

38、er and more meaningful Which of the following can be considered as a source of “pleasure” for women?A. Multiple roles in society.B. Family life.C. Regular employment.D. Freedom from anxiety.(D)Sometimes life gets a little dull. What used to be fun and different becomes boring. That is the time to lo

39、ok for something new. It is the time for a big idea to get your mind off everyday life. So why not search for extraterrestrial (地球外的) intelligence? Or even better, why not get your computer to do it for you?Over two million people have joined the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence ( SETI ) pro

40、ject. Based in California, the SETI project analyzes information taken from a giant radio telescope based in South America. Its task is to look for signals from outer space that might prove that life exists on other planets. Processing this information is far too big a job for one computer. So the S

41、ETI project workers divide the work among volunteers who visit their website. Each computer gets some information to work out from the SETI network through the Internet. This process is often known as “metacomputing”. It is a wonderful thought. You are sleeping, eating a meal or going out with frien

42、ds. All this time, your computer is searching the stars for signs that might show something is out there trying to get in touch. Volunteers are proud of being involved in the SETI project. It shows that they understand the potential of computing. They know that it is more than just a way of working

43、or playing games. Metacomputing may also be creating intelligence as well as looking for it. This idea is based on the theory that human intelligence is created by the way in which different parts in the brain communicate with each other. As the saying goes, "The whole is more than the sum of i

44、ts parts.” People who join the SETI project sometimes wonder whether their computer will become part of a huge network that has learned to think for itself. According to the writer, metacomputing may be creating intelligence because _ .A. human beings are intelligentB. of a network of many computers

45、C. of the number of computersD. a computer works as the brain does When you are involved in the SETI project, you _ .A. should analyse information from other computersB. dont have to connect your computer to the networkC. dont have to sit in front of your computerD. have to work in front of your com

48、ches; they had taken those. I looked through the bars at my jailer (狱卒). I called out to him, “Have you got a light?” As he came close and lit the match, his eyes inadvertently (不注意地) locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled I dont know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it was be

49、cause, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile. “Do you have kids?” he asked.” Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled (摸索) for the pictures of my famil

50、y. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes were filled with tears.
