(2024·哈尔滨模拟)Brittany Starks is a single mother of two working multiple jobs in Tennessee.Her life has not been easy.In the past few years she has been homeless, suffered from severe depression, had to care for a sick child, and was almost killed in a car accident.
It was the accident, she says, that aroused in her a desire to spread kindness in all the ways she could.She became focused on taking every opportunity she had to help those in need.On August 4, Starks offered free hair-braiding (发辫) services to her community.“I thought I was only going to get five to seven kids but I had 35,” Starks said.
Her inbox was quickly flooded with requests for appointments and Starks found herself working every night for two weeks straight into the early hours of the morning.“I wanted to do something for the parents like me whose money is going to be feeding their children and making sure they have a roof over their head,”Starks said.“I wasn't expecting a big reaction.I thought I maybe get five kids or so, but I didn't realize how huge the need was for this.” And the requests keep rolling in with many parents willing to come from out of state.
So many requests that she has had to call in extra support.She's also launched a GoFundMe to help pay for the hairstyling supplies she was initially paying for herself.“I didn't want to make a GoFundMe but I had so many people asking me to make one so that they can donate,” she said.
Starks says once the back-to-school rush is over, she plans to keep up the effort once a month for children all over Nashville.“Doing this makes me happy,”she said.“The smiles on the children's faces are priceless.It brings me so much joy to know I made a difference in their life.”

(2024·聊城模拟)An important life lesson that I've drawn from running is to run at my own pace.It has guided me in many ways.In particular, it made me challenge the fixed expectations of retirement and aging.
Running is a metaphor (隐喻) for life.I realized this while training for a marathon to celebrate my 60th birthday.All the other runners being faster than me made me embarrassed, but my coach shared some valuable advice: run at your own best pace — setting a goal or target time could be a limitation.He was right.Over time, I ran more easily and faster.I also enjoyed the experience much more.
I have applied this principle to other areas of my life.Finding a rhythm is not about efficiency or how many things I can get done in a day.It has more to do with what I decide to do at this stage in my life.
Running carries its own set of expectations, including what it means to be a strong runner.But expectations also extend to other areas of life, including what people at certain life stages should be doing or not doing.Expectations at my age can center on how leisure time is spent, decisions about employment, and even the role of a grandmother.
I used to think it was young people who bore peer pressure, but it's easy to view retirement as another occupation with benchmarks (基准) to be met.We often make what someone else does the reference point.It's a comparison trap.
Forget what others are doing.Their pace is not necessarily the pace you should run at.Run in your own way.It's not better or worse — only different.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了作者认为每个人的人生都应该有自己的节奏,而不是按照别人的期望生活。

D.Her unpleasant training experience.

6.What does the author think about life expectations?
A.They are vital for retired people.
B.They vary at different life stages.
C.They cover every decision in life.
D.They are usually too high to fulfill.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第四段第二、三句可知,作者认为生活期望在不同的人生阶段有所不同。

A.Young people often compete with old people.
B.Retired people take up bad occupations.
C.Retired people are also under peer pressure.
D.A comparison trap makes young people stronger.
