Maya’s dreams were not gentle. They were insistent, unfolding in the blank spaces of her accounting textbooks as broken lines of poetry. The future had already been drafted by her parents: a degree in business, a stable job, security. Her writing was a “pleasant hobby,” a phrase that made her pen feel like a ghost in her hand.

The conflict was not a single conversation but a quiet, constant pressure. Her father saw her notebooks as evidence of a dangerous, risky world. Her mother worried the stories were an escape from a real life that demanded practical things. Maya complied, studying spreadsheets by day, but at night, she fed a blog under a false name. That was her real voice, a whispered rebellion.

Yet, the outside world offered no sanctuary (庇护). The comments on her blog felt like an X-ray. The other writers at the workshops she attended criticized her work with a tone she couldn’t bear. Rejections from magazines carried a sharper pain — they weren’t just rejecting a hobby, but the refined craft she’d worked so hard for!

Then, a moment of recognition struck, though it came with its own cost. A literary journal accepted a story — but requested thorough revisions that would take apart its hopeful ending. For a week, Maya wrestled with it, feeling like refusing. Finally, she rewrote it. The new ending held both love and distance, ambition and sacrifice. It was published.

After that, she began volunteering at a community center, not as a famous author, but as a fellow struggler. She showed teenagers her early drafts, full of red ink and doubt. “The conflict isn’t the obstacle to your dream,” she’d tell them. “It’s the material. Don’t write a fairytale. Write the storm. And then, write the person learning to stand in the rain.”

Her ink was no longer just for dreams. It was for mapping the risky, beautiful, and completely unique territory of a real life being lived.

4．What is the root of Maya’s inner struggle?

A．Choosing between two stable jobs.

B．Living a double life between work and family.

C．Reconciling her dream with family’s expectations.

D．Striking a balance between practical existence and fantasy.

5．What does the underlined word “complied” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．Obeyed. B．Approved. C．Protested. D．Puzzled.

6．What might Maya learn from her submission experience?

 A．Getting published isn’t hard. B．You have to pay a fee to get recognized.

 C．Standing your ground is a virtue. D．You have to compromise sometimes to succeed.

7．What is Maya’s advice to the teenagers?

 A．Dream big and face setbacks fearlessly.

 B．Translate life adversities into written narratives.

 C．Ground your aspirations in practical preparation.

 D．Choose qualified sources for literary composition.

Plant‑based meats are coming soon to a dinner table near you, but do they deserve a spot on your plate?

 If you tried a vegetable burger years ago and dismissed it as rubbery and flavorless, it’s a good time to give meatless meat another chance. Newer varieties imitate the look, flavor, and texture of meat. Analysts don’t expect the meat‑free movement to slow anytime soon; a 2021 report predicts the market will skyrocket to $74 billion by 2030 — a 957 percent surge.

 Plant‑based meats are no longer just for vegetarians. Companies such as Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat — the current superstars of the alternative protein sector — are pursuing consumers who enjoy meat but want to reduce their meat consumption for animal rights, health, or environmental reasons. So far, it’s a winning strategy: More than nine out of ten consumers who buy Beyond Burger and Impossible Foods products also eat meat.

 Many vegetarians don’t actually care for food that resembles meat. When reporter Joan Solsman, a longtime vegetarian, tried a dish from Impossible Foods, she felt so sick that she couldn’t finish it. “Maybe the best sign that Impossible Foods has cracked the code to realistic fake meat is that I couldn’t stand to take another bite,” she wrote.

 Meatless meats are generally a healthier choice than beef because they are cholesterol‑free, plus they’re a good source of vitamins, minerals, protein, and fiber.

 If meatless meat can help you stick to a plant‑based diet, that in itself can lead to better health. Not only has red meat been linked to cancer, but studies show that people who ditch meat have lower blood pressure, lower average blood sugar, and lower cholesterol levels.

 However, just because it’s plant‑based doesn’t mean it’s health food. Most imitation meats are highly processed and contain high amounts of sodium (钠) compared to traditional beef.

 These new generations of alternate meat get all the attention, but don’t forget about whole grains and vegetables. Beans are an especially excellent protein substitute. They’re nutritious, inexpensive, and far more sustainable than any of the processed meatless substitutes on the market today.

8．It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that the plant‑based meat sector will __________.

A. devote abundant resources to its promotion

B. undergo continuous renewal of its product types

C. witness a dramatic expansion in overall market scale

D. harvest widespread attention from economic analyses

9．What can we conclude about Impossible Foods’ products from Joan Solsman’s remark?

A. They more often appeal to meat‑eaters.

B. They very much resemble animal meat.

C. Some have become its signature dishes.

D. Most of them are sold as true fake meat.
