But when I started my own company,my pool of potential role models became smaller. Only 2.1%of risk investment goes to women-founded companies."Who could I look up to?"I wondered."Who can I copy?"I decided to create an inspiration wall in my office.with photos of the role models I could see-women like Uprah.Melinda,and Vicky,cofounder of a skincare hrand.I never thought I'd meet these women,but their success gave me hope Then one day,a couple of ycars ago,I surpnsed myself with a thougnt:what if I did reach out to one of my role models?I feared refusal,but my desire for connection was stronger.I chose Vicky,whose journey had long inspired me.I didn't have her email address.So I tried a cold Instagram message,and she replied the next day! That was in 2022.We've spoken numerous times since,and the conversations have been invaluable.They're rare chances to gain guidance from a successful woman.But here's the most valuable lesson I gained:when Vicky first replied to me,I wasn't the onlv one excited.Vicky was excited too-because she's always looking for ways to support other women.All my life,I'd thought of role models as a one-way relationship:I'd gain strength from someone stronger.But the situation is more than that. I once sent Vicky a care package from my sunglasses company.She wrote me a thank-you note,and texted a selfie of her and her daughter weanng my products.Today,I keep that letter on my desk next to my keyboard-a reminder that,just as I believe in her.she believes in me.We're all here to help each other grow. 4.Why did the author create an inspiration wall in her office?

C.Honest and responsible. D Talented and skilled. 7.What can we learn from the story? A Practice Makes Perfect. B.Strength is a Two-way Street. C.A Good Beginning Is Half Done.

The ABC television network offered $5 million if Disney agreed to produce and host a one- hour weckly show called "Disnev!and".ihe deal meant months of free advertising for the park and allowed Disney to introduce TV audiences,particularly kids,to the park. Disneyland opened then.The 5,000 expected guests increased to 28,154.After the madness of opening day.Disney and his new park were criticized in the newspaper and on TV:The media predicted a quick and early end.But the public didn't listen.Visitors arrived in large groups.and ttnn weeks Disneyiand was a success.

Researchers did two studies last year.In one,participants were given S5 every day for five days and were required to spend the money on the same thing each day Some participants were required to spend the money on themselves,white others were required to give to make a donation to those in need In a second experiment that was done online,partcipants played 10 rounds of a word puzzle game and each won 5 cents per round,which they could keep or donate. In both experiments,participants reported their overall haopiness.Those who donated their money showed that their nappiness fell at a much slower rate than those who kept the money or spent it on themselves. The researchers note that when people focus on a result they can easily compare results, which may diminish their sensitivity to each experience.When people focus on an action,they may focus less on comparison and instead experience each act of giving as a unique pleasant event Further analyses ruled out some other explanations,such as the possibility that parucipants who gave to others had to think longer and harder about what to give,which could encourage higher happiness. The results are especially interesting because according to one of the researchers,Ed O'Brien of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business,they are totally different from past research."If you want to stay happy ove time.past research tells us that we need to take a break from what were now doing and experience something new.Our research finds that the kind of thing may matter more than we thought:Repeated giving,even in the same way to the same person.may continue to feel relatively tresh and relatively pleasuraole if we do it often,"O'Brien said. So for all the holiday gifts you give this season.exnect to feel happy and know that feeling is going to stick around for a while. 12.What's the function of the first paragraph? A.To lead to the topic. B To stress the importance of the study. C.To recommend a journal. D.To persuade people to give gifts regularly. 13.Why did the researchers do two experiments? A To challenge the past research. B.To rule out different experimental data. C.To show the benefits of donation. D.To make the research results more believable, 14.What does the underlined word"diminish"probably mean in the fourth paragraph? A.develop. B.show. C.reduce. D.keep. 15.What's the main finding of the new stud,? A.Gift giving will result in longer happiness than receiving. B Thinking longer and harder on giving will encourage higher happiness. C.The feeling of happiness will disappear soon if people just give holiday gifts. D.Taking a break from what were now doing will help people stay happy. 48 第二节（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有 两个选项为多余选项。 If you are like most international students,you are probably pretty comfortable reading and writing in English.I Below are some tips to help you to improve your conversational skills.
