22、NEWS BRIEF
● "New labels to show calories
The US government ruled that all food establishments(场所) should put the calorie information of their foods on their menus. Within a year chain restaurants, like fast food KFC, will have to say clearly on their menus how many calories their fried chicken wings, fries, and other items contain. Amusement parks, movie theaters and supermarkets will also have to follow the rules. The move is designed to fight against the problem of obesity(肥胖) in the US.
● Antibiotics leading to world problem
The entire world is facing this problem; antibiotic resistance. And the resistance will lead to the deaths of 10 million people across the world by 2025, predicted a new report released by the UK government. Antibiotics are used to destroy or slow the growth of harmful bacteria in our bodies. But overuse and misuse of them can encourage bacteria to develop new ways of overcoming antibiotics, which makes it increasingly difficult for humans to fight diseases.

24、I had just delivered a memorized speech that I had labored over for months, and I was about to learn how the experts judged my performance. The polite audience leaned forward in their folding chairs. Silence fell across the room and the drum rolled in my mind.
The contest organizer announced the third-place winner. Alas, the name was not mine. Then the second, and once again it was not me. At last, the moment of truth came. Either I was about to be bathed in the warmth of victory or regretted the last several months spent preparing. While neither of these came to pass, my heart just sank.
Losing is a part of life, but it was an indescribable depression to drive 200 miles round trip, get up early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of four contestants. After Lincoln lost the 1858 Illinois Senate race, he reportedly said, “I felt like the 12-year-old boy who stubbed his toe. I was too big to cry and it hurt too bad to laugh.” Oh yeah, I could relate.
Months before the contest, I had spent hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial Speech Contest. As I read through several biographies, one idea stood out: Lincoln was handed many sound defeats, but he never allowed them to permanently stop his spirit or ambition. I thought “failing successfully” was a very appropriate topic, given the many letdowns Lincoln experienced, and so this became the title of my speech.
Never mind the lost prize money and praise — I did gain a new perspective. Through learning about Lincoln, I discovered that I could fail successfully. Now, whenever I’m faced with a failure, I remember what Lincoln said after his unsuccessful 1854 Senate race, “The path was worn and slippery. My foot slipped from under me, knocking the other out of the way, but I recovered and said to myself, ‘It’s a slip and not a fall.’”
【1】How did the author feel when waiting for the announcement of the result?
A．Relieved.
B．Thrilled.
C．Nervous.
D．Desperate.
【2】Why did the author mention Lincoln’s failures in Senate race?
A．To show Lincoln’s determination to win Senate race.
B．To present his research findings of Lincoln’s biographies.
C．To compare what they had in common in their experiences.
D．To indicate that he drew inspiration from Lincoln’s failures.
【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards the lost prize money and praise?
A．Favorable.
B．Optimistic.
C．Concerned.
D．Amazed.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．A Successful Failure
B．A Slippery Path
C．An Unexpected Speech
D．An Impressive Example

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A black boy guarded the oak barrels in his father’s winery. Every morning he wiped up every barrel with rag, and then put them in order row upon row. To his anger, the wind reeled the barrels here and there overnight.
The boy was so angry that he wrote a letter to the wind on every barrel with crayon, “Please don’t blow down my barrels.”
After seeing that, his father asked the boy with a smile, “Can the wind read your request?”
The little boy said, “I don’t know, but I have no way of how to deal with the wind.”
The next morning, when the little boy ran to look at the barrels, he found that the goddamned wind ignored his request, still blowing the barrels here and there. The little boy felt very wronged and burst into tears. His father stroked his head gently and said, “Son, don’t be sad. We may have no way of how to deal with the wind, but we may have ways for you, so we can have our own methods to conquer the wind.” Then the little boy dried his tears and sat near the barrel to think over and over.
