“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. “If you can carry on, one day something good will happen. And you’ll realize that it wouldn’t have happened if not for that previous disappointment.”
Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college in 1932. I had decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way up to sports announcer. I hitchhiked (搭便车) to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station — and got turned down every time. In one studio, a kind lady told me that in most cases big stations couldn’t risk hiring an inexperienced person. “Go out in the remote areas and find a small station that’ll give you a chance,” she said. I went back home to Dixon, Illinois.
While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to manage its sports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high school football, I applied. The job sounded just right for me.
But I wasn’t hired. My disappointment must have shown. “Everything happens for the best,” Mom reminded me. Dad offered me the car to hunt for jobs. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.
As I left his office, my frustration boiled over (沸溢,发怒). I asked aloud, “How can a fellow get to be a sport announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station?” I was waiting for the elevator when I heard MacArthur calling, “What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game. The preceding autumn, my team had won a game in the last 20 seconds with a 65-yard run. I did a 15-minute boost to that play, and Peter told me I would be broadcasting Saturday’s game!
On my way home, as I have many times since, I thought of my mother’s words: “If you carry on, one day something good will happen. Something wouldn’t have happened if not for that previous disappointment”.
4. What is concluded from the passage is that ________.
A. the frustration of the author prevented him from performing well at WOC Radio
B. both of the author’s parents showed support when he was trying to search for a job
C. Peter MacArthur recognize the author’s talent in broadcasting after reading his resume
D. the author lost all his hope and courage when he was turned down by Montgomery Ward
5. The reason why the author wasn’t hired in Chicago was probably that ________.
A. he showed no confidence at the stations
B. there were no jobs available at the stations
C. he had no experience in radio broadcasting
D. there were too many people competing with him
6. What does the word “boost” in the last but one paragraph mean?
A. requirement.
B. amazement.
C. enjoyment.
D. encouragement.
7. What lesson can you learn from the author’s experience in the passage?
A. Through storms come rainbows.
B. Prevention is better than cure.
C. Well begun is half done.
D. Rome was not built in a day.
C
Researchers at MIT created a high-tech pill that starts to vibrate (震动) once it makes contact with liquid in the user’s stomach and make him or her feel full. The pill was reportedly thought up by Shriya Srinivasan, currently an assistant professor of bioengineering at Harvard University.
VIBES, short for Vibrating Ingestible BioEleotronic Stimulator, was only recently made public in a study published in the Science Journal, but it is already being announced by the media as the future of weight loss. Although it has yet to be tested on humans, trials on pigs have achieved very hopeful results. After about 30 minutes of VIBES activity, pigs consumed on average almost 40 percent less food in the next half hour than they did without the smart pill. Apparently, the revolutionary device works by activating stretch receptors in the stomach, modeling the presence of food. This in turn signals the hypothalamus (下丘脑) to increase the levels of hormones that make us feel full. The vibrating stimulator, which is about the size of a vitamin pill, is powered by an encased battery and activated either by the gastric fluid (胃液) breaking down a coat around the pill, or by an incorporated timer. After producing the desired effect, the pill exits the body with other solid waste:
The good news is that it is expected to have a cost in the cents to one dollar range, and researchers say that it may eventually be possible to implant the stimulator and thus remove the need for people to constantly swallow it.
“Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of a low-cost, non-operative intervention to reduce food intake and ca lorie consumption. The device functions effectively in the stomach and leading to fullness,” said Giovanni Traverso, co-author of the study. “The device has the potential to revolutionize options for weight loss treatment. However, future studies will need to explore the physiological effects of the device before it’s available for patients.”
Researchers are now exploring ways to scale up the producing of VIBES capsules which could enable clinical trials in humans.
8. What is the outcome of taking the pill?
A. Liquid production. B. Food storage.
C. Sensation of fullness. D. Recovery of users.
9. Which aspect of the device is mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. Its working principle. B. Its intelligence.
C. Its testing history. D. Its side effect.
10. What is the researchers’ ultimate goal of the device?
A. To produce gastric fluid with it. B. To destroy the coat around it.
C. To fix it in human body. D. To remove solid waste from it.
11. What is Giovanni Traverso’s attitude towards the future of the device?
A. Worried. B. Cautious. C. Doubtful. D. Confused.
D
The Nobel Prize is one of the most prestigious awards in the world. It was established by Alfred Nobel, a Swedish chemist, engineer, and inventor. Nobel was known for inventing dynamite. However, he was concerned about how his inventions could be used for destructive purposes in war. Thus, in his will, he stipulated that his fortune be used to establish prizes in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace.
The first Nobel Prizes were awarded in 1901. Since then, the Nobel Prize has been awarded to countless outstanding individuals who have made significant contributions to their respective fields. The Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry often recognizes revolutionary discoveries and advancements in science. The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine honors breakthroughs in the understanding and treatment of diseases. The Nobel Prize in Literature rewards outstanding literary works that have a profound impact on humanity. The Nobel Peace Prize is given to those who have worked tirelessly to promote peace and resolve conflicts.
Winning a Nobel Prize is not only a great honor but also brings attention to the important work being done in various fields. It inspires future generations of scientists, writers, and peacemakers to strive for excellence and make the world a better place.

Personal Development For Teens
Teenagers may face many challenges unique to them. Below are some steps to help you evolve and be a better person in your teens.
Learn new skill
Sometimes, a side-skill you have gained along the way turns out the very thing that creates an opportunity for success. _____16_____ You shouldn’t be forced to determine your future based on your grades and choices in high school, so learning new skills will definitely come in handy later.
Try to socialize more
______17______ Wherever you go and whatever you do, the ability to blend in and communicate with others can save you in tough times. Socializing, making friends, and forming healthy relationships can help you learn things you could never find out on your own.
Have a better lifestyle.
Your lifestyle forms your character, and the way you live defines who you are. ____18____ On the other hand, having an unhealthy lifestyle may disturb you, put you under stress, and eventually harm you in the most unbelievable ways.
Take care of your health
Without health, it is almost impossible to enjoy life to its fullest. Money, grades, or events are replaceable; your health is not. And while it is very important to maintain good physical health, we cannot forget about our mental health. _______19_______
Embrace positivity
Try to avoid people who ruin everything with negativity and befriend those who give you positive vibes (感应). ______20______ How can you improve your yourself if your surroundings keep telling you that changing for the better is useless? Negative people give up quickly because they can never see the light in the darkness.
Every teenager should be taught and reminded of ways to improve themselves so that they can see a clearer picture of their future.
A. Grasping new skills is an easy job.
B. You need people who make you feel good about life.
C. Force yourself to socialize—even if you don’t want to.
D. Proper communication is crucial if you want to be a better person.
E. Our mind is just as important, and we should give it the same amount of attention.
F. Also, when you are in your teens, you hardly know what you want to do with your life.
G. When you’re at peace with how you live your days, you can focus on improving yourself.

Suzi wanted to go to a beach party. It was going to be the best party of the year, perhaps the best party of her life. But her mom had said no. Suzi was desperate and protested, “But everyone is going.”
“I don’t care who’s going,” replied her mother. “Even if the Queen of England were going, you are still not going.”
Suzi was disappointed and even heartbroken. Sunday dinner came around and Suzi's grandmother joined the family for the meal, as she nearly always did on Sunday. Gran noticed how unhappy Suzi had been looking during the meal but didn’t say a thing. It was Suzi's turn to wash up and Gran said, “Let me help you,” while the rest of the family shifted into the living room to watch a video.
In the kitchen, Gran knew what had happened and said, “If you were her, what would your objections be?” Suzi hadn’t stopped to think about her mom’s side.
After learning that some adults were going to be there, Gran said to Suzi, “Your mother is concerned and doesn’t want anything to happen to you?” “Nothing will happen,” objected Suzi.
“Maybe you’re right,” said Gran, “but maybe Mom’s worried in case it could. You know, when your mother was your age, we used to negotiate about something. If she was going out somewhere, I would ask what time she wanted me to pick her up. She would always add an hour or two to it, saying maybe eleven or twelve o’clock, thinking I wouldn’t know what she was doing. I’d tell her that was far too late and that I wanted her home by nine. She’d object and we’d both come to a compromise (折中) at ten or ten-thirty, which was around what both of us had been thinking all along.”
“That way, neither of us was the winner or loser; that way, she got to have time out as she wanted and I got to see her home at a reasonable time. By finding a compromise, we both got something, though maybe not completely, of what we wanted.”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
After hearing Gran’s story, Suzi felt lost in thought.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With Gran’s encouragement, Suzi quietly went to her mom’s room and knocked softly.

【47题答案】
【答案】After hearing Gran’s story, Suzi felt lost in thought. She began to understand that her mom’s concern wasn’t just about fun, but about her safety and responsibility. Gran had helped her realize that sometimes the best solutions come from seeing things from both sides. Suzi didn’t want her mom to feel like she needed to constantly monitor her, but she also wanted to show that she could be responsible. Gran, noticing her deep reflection, suggested, “Why don’t you talk to your mom? Maybe she’ll listen.”
With Gran’s encouragement, Suzi quietly went to her mom’s room and knocked softly. Her mom looked up, surprised, but smiled when she saw Suzi. “Mom, I really want to go to the party, but I understand you’re worried,” Suzi said. Her mom sighed, her expression softening. “I just want you to be safe,” she replied. They talked about their concerns and reached an agreement: Suzi could go, but she’d check in regularly. As Suzi left her mom’s room, a warm feeling filled her. She knew their bond was stronger than before.
