Gifts are easytheyre given after all. Choices can be hard.”Jeff BezosI got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fac

14、t that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. Id 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 MacKen

15、zie 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 pa

16、ssion.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, a

17、nd 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 difficul

18、t choice, but finally, 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 not to 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

19、 end, we are our choices.21. What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?A. His dream of being an inventor.B. The support of his wife.C. Millions of exciting titles.D. The greatly increasing usage of the Internet.22. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the unde

20、rlined sentence?A. He would be very excited if he tried it out.B. The idea of not trying would keep coming to his mind and disturb him.C. He would be always having a doubt if he didnt try.D. The decision not to try the online bookstore would terrify him.23. We can know from the passage that .A. the

22、e Starting of AmazonC. We Are What We ChooseD. Following My PassionBThe universe looks like a pretty quiet place to live. But the universe is filled with dangerous things, all struggling to be the one to wipe us off the planet. Happily for us, theyre all pretty unlikely, but if you wait long enough,

23、 one of them is certain to get us. But which one?1. Death by Asteroid (小行星)Of all the ways we might meet our untimely death, getting wiped out by an asteroid is the most likely. Why? Because we sit in a universal shooting gallery, with 100 tons of material hitting us every day. The problem, though,

24、occurs every few centuries when something big this way comes. If you could ask a dinosaur, Id imagine they would tell you to take this seriously. 2. Death by Exploding StarWhen a huge star ends its life, it does so with a bang, which sends death spreading across space in the form of high-energy radi

25、ation. Many studies show that the bang would have to be closer than about 75 light years to do us any harm. The good news: no stars so close are able to do the deed.3. Death by Dying SunThe sun is important to us; without it, wed freeze. But the sun is also middle-aged, already halfway to running ou

26、t of fuel, expanding into a red giant, and cooking us to a fine crisp. Even long before then, itll warm up enough to raise our average temperature and cause a runaway greenhouse effect, boiling our oceans. Happily, thats a long time from now. 4. Death by Black HoleBlack holes are misunderstood. They

27、 dont wander the galaxy looking for tasty snacks in the form of planets and stars; they turn around the Milky Way just like the hundreds of billions of other stars do. But its possible that one could wander too close to us. If it did, planetary paths would be disturbed, causing the Earth to drop int

28、o the sun or be thrown out into deep space.Given that it could be trillions of years or more before even that happens, we dont have to worry too much about black holes. My advice? Go outside, look up, enjoy the sun, the moon, and the stars. They may be there forever as far as any one of us is concer

29、ned.and forever is a long, long time.25. The underlined word “this” probably refers to .A. getting wiped out by a dinosaurB. an untimely deathC. a cosmic shooting galleryD. 100 tons of material26. Which of the following will cause the earths average temperature to go up dramatically?A. The dying sun

34、p dollar with lots of benefits,” said Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge, of the San Jose State Career Centre. “Times have changed. Its a new market. The job situation is grim (严峻的) now.” Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge ought to know. She runs the San Jose State Career Centre, (it is) sort of a crossroads between colleg

35、e and the real world. Allmen-Vinnidge says students who do find jobs after college have done their homework. “The typical graduate who does have a job offer started working on it two years ago. Theyve postured themselves well during the summer. Theyve had several internships (实习) ,” she said. And th

36、eyve majored in one of the few fields that are still hotlike chemical engineering, accounting or nursingwhere average starting salaries have actually increased over last year. Other popular fields (like information systems management, computer science, and political science) have seen big declines i

37、n starting salaries. Ryan Stewart (he had hoped to become a teacher) may just end up going back to school. “Id like to teach college some day and that requires more schooling, which would be great in a bad economy,” he said.It is true more students are able to receive college education. It is also t

38、rue that they will have to face fiercer competition in the job market as they graduate.

51、e ozone hole. 36 As consumers we have the power to make decisions which will contribute to a better world and it is in our power to do what we can to protect the earth. 37 In this way we have the power to influence retailers (零售商) to sell us these so-called “green” products.
