surprised at how little had changed at her old high school other than the green color on the walls.akinosun won her medal with the 400-meter relay team at the olympic games in rio de janeiro this summer. her return to her high school recently included a chance for the young woman to tell what shes learned since running track for wsubonsie more than fours year ago.her first piece of advice to the crowd of students was asking them to listen to their parents. “ they see things you cant see,” she said. “ in high school i thought i was on the top of the world.”in akinosuns case, her parents encouraged her to consider going to the university of illinois, which at the time had a team that was coached by olympic medal winner tonja buford-bailey. “ i wouldnt be where i am today without my parents,” she said.her parents saw buford-bailey as a good fit to coach their daughter, something akinosun said she didnt understand at the time. it didnt take long, however, for her to see they were right and she ended up following buford-bailey to the university of texas at austin when the coach took a job there. akinosun admitted it was three years before she told her parents they were right.becoming an excellent athlete who can take part in the olympics needs serious dedication. she says her success came from viewing herself as an athlete-student instead of a student-athlete.“i always put track and field first, and then comes school,” akinosun said. a social life comes last.“its about sacrifices(牺牲). you cant be on the track team unless youre chosen,” she added.making athletics the most important thing in her life meant committing fully, no matter how she might feel on a given day. “ i never missed a training session (环节) in my four years in college,” she said. “its my job; its what i do. think about that when you want to sleep in.”21. which of the following statements is true about akinosun according to the article?a.she is thankful to her parents for finding her the right coach.b. she make up her mind to win olympic medals in high school.c. she still doesnt want to admit that her parents helped her a lot.d. she was a big fan of buford-bailey in high school.22. according to akinosun, she became a successful athlete because _.a. she had great confidence in herself.b. she always put training before anything else.c. she was pushed by her coach to train hard.d. she could keep a good balance between school and training.23. the underlined word “dedication” in paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to _.a. knowing oneselfb. committing fullyc. a clear purposed. a strong desire24. whats the best title of the passage?a. how akinosun spent her high school years.b. the story of akinosuns success.c. being an athlete is not easy.d. akinosuns advice

but in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. its first use was as a shade against the sun.nobody knew who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. probably the first to use it were the chinese, back in the eleventh century bc. we know that the umbrella was used in ancient egypt and babylon as a sunshade. and there was a strange thing connected with its uses: it became a symbol of honor and power. in the far east in ancient times. the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.in europe, the greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. the umbrella was in common use in ancient greece. but it is believed that the first people in europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient romans. during the middle ages in europe. the use of the umbrella almost disappeared. then it appeared again in italy in the late sixteenth century. and again it became a symbol of power.umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. it wasnt until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors.28. ancient people first used umbrellas as _ .a. a symbol of honor b a symbol of powerc. protection against the sun d. protection against the rain 29. according to the passage, the umbrella was probably first used in accident a. babylon b. china c. egypt d. rome30. according to the passage, which of the following is not true?a. the ancient greeks used the umbrella in their daily life.b. europeans hardly used the umbrella during the middle ages.c. the umbrellas for woman were made colorful in ancient times.d. the style of the umbrella hasnt changed a lot since it was invented31. what is the passage mainly about?a. the sales of the umbrella. b. the differences among umbrellas.c. the invention of the umbrella. d. the history and the use of the umbrella.dthe latest study by the university of florida has found that eating from smaller, less beautiful, and even paper plates will help prevent overeating. eating with a fork instead of a spoon can help you lose weight, the researchers say. much to their surprise, they find that putting mirrors in the dining room will also help reduce weight.the researchers asked 185 college students to choose a chocolate cake or a fruit salad, and evaluated the taste. those who ate in a room with a mirror scored the taste of junk food much lower than those in a room without a mirror. but the taste of fruit salad remained the same in any case.lead scientist, dr. ata jami, says that a glance in the mirror tells people more than just about their physical appearance. it enables them to view themselves objectively (客观地) and helps them to judge themselves and their behavior in the same way that they judge other people.the mirrors were found to push people to compare and match their own behavior with accepted social standards. the researchers believe it proves that people dont want to look in the mirror when they feel they are following the social standards. when they look in the mirror with mouths full of junk food, feelings of discomfort and failure can be increased. therefore, the presence of the mirror lowers the taste of unhealthy food.however, researchers say this is only the case if people select the food they are eating, because they are responsible for that choice. the researchers suggest that mirrors be placed in dining rooms and other eating spaces, so that people will start eating more healthily.32. researchers are amazed to find that _.a.mirrors can help people lose weight b. people using a fork will eat morec. paper plates make food look nicer d. people will eat more in front of a mirror33. what can be inferred from the study?a. some teenagers got involved in it. b. people were required to eat with a spoon.c. people preferred a chocolate cake to a fruit salad.d. the mirror may not affect the taste of healthy food.34. according to dr. ata jami, the mirror _.a. makes people judge others correctly b. makes people well judge themselvesc. is a necessary part of peoples daily life d. can only show the appearance of a person35. how does the mirror affect the taste of junk food?a. by making people hungry. b. by showing the social standards.c. by attracting people to healthy food. d. by causing a feeling of discomfort.
