I decided to ski to
the North Pole. It was after I saw an
advertisement in a
newspaper looking
for people to join a team to ski 350 miles to the
North Pole. Back
in
1996,
there
had
never
been
a
woman
from
the
UK
who
had
accomplished
this
challenge.
I wondered what
it would be like to survive in temperatures cold
enough to freeze
your flesh in seconds,
so I sent off for the application form.
The
application
form
full
of
pictures
of
male
explorers
arrived.
The
words
“
Are
you man
enough for the ultimate
(
极限的
) challenge
？”
made me angry and even more
determined
to get on the team.
Over 500
individuals applied for a place in the team, and
the selection process
included physical
and psychological tests designed to pick the best
group. In one
test, there was a huge
rope ladder we had to climb, and I froze at the
top because
I have a fear of heights. I
thought my hopes were fading as most other
applicants
sailed past, leaving me
behind. But two others helped me over, and later I
found out
that
the
organizers
were
not
looking
for
amazing
individuals,
but
great
team
players,
and this moment had
shown them who would take care of others in the
team.
I had revealed
(
显示
) my weakness, and in a
place like the Arctic, you have to
be
yourself, as there is nowhere to hide. These
personalities of asking for help and
showing weakness are necessary for
women to master.
I realized that by
being myself, I could succeed. I was selected for
the team.
I realized that I could
achieve more than I ever imagined
—
more importantly, by
sharing my story with others, I could
inspire them to take a step into the new world
and reveal more of their abilities.

Rich as a King
William Ⅰ，
who conquered
England some 950 years ago, had wealth, power and
an
army. Yet although William was very
rich by the standard of his time, he had nothing
like a flush toilet
(
抽水马桶
), paper towels, or a
riding lawn mower (
割草机
). How
did he get_by?
History
books
are
filled
with
wealthy
people
who
were
poor
compared
to
me.
I
have
storm windows, Croesus did not. Entire
nations trembled before Alexander the Great,
but he couldn't buy cat food. Czar
Nicholas lacked an electric saw.
Given
how much better off I am than so many famous dead
people, you'd think I'd
be content. The
trouble is that, like most people, I compare my
wealth with that of
living persons:
neighbors, school classmates, famous TV people.
The greed I feel
toward my friend
Howard's new kitchen is not reduced by the fact
that no kings ever
had a refrigerator
with glass doors.
There
is
really
no
rising
or
falling
standard
of
living.
Over
the
centuries
people
simply find different things to feel
sad about. You'd think that simply not having
disease would put us in a good mood,
but no, we want a hot bath too.
Of
course, one way to achieve happiness would be to
realize that even by today's
standards
the things I own are pretty nice. My house is
smaller than the houses of
many
investment bankers, but even so it has a lot more
rooms than my wife and I can
keep
clean.
Besides, to people looking back
at our era from a century or two in the future,
these bankers' fancy counter tops and
my own worn Formica will seem equally shabby.
I can't keep up with my neighbors right
now. But just wait.

Five?year?old Prisilla
Perez, a student at Meador Elementary
School in Willis,
was unhappy with her
recent haircut, which resulted from a severe
disease. When
students
in
her
class started calling Prisilla a
boy, she felt ashamed,
often crying
and losing focus in school.
Her
teacher,
Shannon
Grimm,
sympathized
with
her
unhappiness.
Grimm
and
Prisilla's
mom
were
concerned,
but
their
ideas
didn't
work.
“We
had
classroom
discussions about how girls have short
hair and boys have long hair, and I showed
them
photos
of
movie
stars
with
different
looks
，”
Grimm
said.
“However,
it
wasn't
sinking
in.”
Grimm thought about
Prisilla throughout the winter break, and one
morning, she
had an idea: Cut off her
hair
—
a scary thought for
Grimm, who wore her hair long
and took
pride in it. “I've nev
er had short
hair, and I stressed about it for two
weeks before making a
decision
，” she said. On Jan. 4, Grimm
invited a hairstylist
friend to her
home. “I told him to keep going, even if I cried，”
she said.
The class loved
their teacher's new do, especially Prisilla, who
excitedly ran
off
the
school
bus
that
afternoon
yelling,
“Mom,
Ms.
Grimm
cut
her
hair！”
The
teacher
also
bought matching bows for herself and the girl, so
they could style their hair
together.
In February, the teacher recommended
Prisilla for the school district's Student
of the Month Award, but during the
Monday ceremony, she received a surprise “hero
medal” from the girl. “Now we have
matching awards，” says Grimm.
Prisilla's
mother,
Maria,
said
that
Grimm's
thoughtfulness
brought
her
to
tears.
“I was shocked. I was
crying. I couldn't believe it —
she did
something I wouldn't
have the bravery
to do. I will never forget that.”

(2019·济南模拟
)We
humans
love
to
stare
into
our
smart
devices.
We
gaze
for
hours
—
about 10 hours and 39
minutes a day
—
at our
computers, smartphones, tablets and
televisions. Is all this staring bad
for us? It might be, mainly because as we stare
at our devices we are exposing
ourselves to blue light.
Blue light is
a type of electromagnetic
(
电磁的
) radiation with a very
short
wavelength
that
produces
a
high
amount
of
energy.
While
it's
true
that
light
can
damage
our
eyes
under
certain
circumstances,
there's
no
scientific
evidence
suggesting
that
blue light is harmful
to our eyes. But many people still think it is,
which is why
blue?light?blocking
glasses are so popular. So do the glasses
work?
“Everyone is very
concerned that blue light m
ay be
causing damage to the eye,
but there's
no evidence
that
it may
be causing
serious
damage
，” Dr. Rahul Khurana,
clinical
spokesman
for
the
American
Academy
of
Ophthalmology,
told
Business
Insider
.
Blue
light exposure is nothing new. In fact, the sun is
the largest source of
blue
light.
Moreover,
blue
light
is
also
present
in
LED
light.
But
if
blue
light
isn't
harmful,
then
why
are
we
constantly
rubbing
our
eyes
when
we're
looking
at
our
screens?
The answer is
eyestrain (
眼疲劳
): More than
60 percent of people experience eye
problems
associated
with
digital
eyestrain.
And
blue
light,
it
seems,
isn't
the
cause.
Instead, our eyes are
so strained because most of us blink less when we
stare at our
digital
devices.
So
if
eyestrain
is
the
issue,
blue?light?blockin
g
glasses
are
probably of little use.
语篇解读：本文主要探讨了蓝光是否对我们的眼睛有害的问题。

．
What do we know
about blue light?
A
．
It is a kind of
nuclear radiation.
B
．
It has the
shortest wavelength.
C
．
It may come
from electronic devices.
D
．
It consumes a
great deal of energy.
解析：
选
C
推理判断题。
根据第一段最后一句“It
might
be,
mainly
b
ecause
as
we
stare
at our
devices we are exposing ourselves to blue
light.”可推知，电子设备会发出蓝
光。
8
．What causes the popularity
of blue?light?blocking glasses?
A
．
Evidence of
their benefits to eyes.
B

Belief in blue
light's harmful effect.
C
．
Widespread use
of smart devices.
D
．
Scientific
understanding of blue light.
解析：
选
B
细节理解题。
根据第二段中的“there's
no
scientific
evidence
suggesting
that blue light is harmful to our eyes
... which is why blue?light?blocking glasses
are so
popular”可知，防蓝光眼镜流行的原因是人们认为蓝光会对眼睛有害。
9
．
What can be
inferred from Paragraph 4?
A
．
Blue light
exposure is hardly avoidable.
B
．
Eye problems
are not easy to deal with.
C
．
Blue light may
connect with tired eyes.
D
．
Rubbing eyes
makes people strained.
解析：
选
A
推理判断题。
根据第四段的前三句“Blue
light
exposure
is
nothing
new
...
prese
nt in LED light”可知，阳光是蓝
光最大的来源，而且蓝光也存在
LED
灯中。由此可
推知，接触蓝光几乎是不可避免的。

text, wearing blue?light?blocking
glasses
may be ________.
A

A
I
started to work as an editor for a travel
magazine. I didn't really mind the
work, but I wanted something more
challenging. My sister sent me some details for
a
posi
tion
in
a
start?up.
The
job
was
a
seemingly
perfect
mix
of
my
skills
and
interests,
so I jumped at
it.
However, soon after I joined the
company, its model changed to focus on K?12
education, and everything about my
position changed. I was asked to take on the
completely different roles of selling
contents to teachers and training people. I
had no experience in sales, training or
education. On top of that, I'm an introvert
(
内向的人
). I felt
more a little outside my comfort zone.
I
knew
I
wanted
to
grow
as
an
individual
and
make
a
serious
impact
on
the
company.
I
told myself that everything feels overwhelming at
first and I should at least try.
In a
way, I felt like I didn't have a choice. I knew
jumping out of the nest was the
right
thing for me, even though it felt pretty awful.
I
was
fortunate
to
be
surrounded
by
very
helpful
people,
both
at
work
and
at
home.
My
boss
never
asked
if
I
thought
I
could
do
it;
she
asked
if
I
was
interested
in
trying.
I
spent hours researching my company's products. I
asked lots of questions and
spoke to so
many teachers that there were soon more good
experiences than difficult
ones. I
looked for opportunities to put in extra effort.
The more I did, the better
I felt.
Over time, I discovered that the job
was something I could do and liked doing.
It was incredibly rewarding to see the
company grow. I also learned it's important
to take risks and accept new
opportunities, even when you're not sure if you'll
do
well. I don't think there's anything
worse than failing to try. I'm so glad I tried,
and it surely paid off.

Being stuck behind crowds
of slow walkers when you're in a hurry is one of
the
most annoying things. But now,
Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, one of the UK's
largest
shopping
malls,
has
introduced
its
very
own
fast
lane
for
shoppers
in
a
hurry,
aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid
slow walkers and the anger that goes with
them.
The Lakeside Shopping
Centre in Essex has introduced a 720?foot “fast
lane”
reserved for fast walkers only,
just in time for the festive rush. The centre's
management team said: “The lane will
help the shoppers who know where they want to
go quickly and don't want to get caught
in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest
time of the year.”
The fast lane was introduced after a
MasterCard survey found that 80 percent of
consumers found slow walkers their
biggest annoyance while shopping. The research
also
found
that
the
average
walking
speed
slowed
down
by
21
percent
during
the
festive
shopping
period,
as
most
shoppers
spent
more
time
window
shopping
during
this
period.
Gary Mortimer, an
expert from the Queensland University of
Technology, said he
wasn't surprised by
the promotion about the launch of the fast lane,
and thought the
concept would appeal to
shoppers
all
over
the world.
“Crowded parkin
g
lots and busy
shopping
centres
tend
to
be
two
of
the
biggest
complaints
of
shoppers
over
the
festive
season
，”
he said. “I think the fast lanes are a new
approach. However, I suspect
it
will
be
a
bit
like
fast
lanes
on
the
highway,
so
it
might
end
up
being
more
trouble
than its
worth.”
The MasterCard
survey also identified the four most common types
of shoppers.
They
include
“Skaters”
who
try
and
make
their
way
through
crowds
politely,
