24、If you could see a movie of your life before you lived it, would you want to live it? Probably not. The excitement of living is that you don’t know what’s coming.
Sure, it’s hard to see uncertainty(不确定) in such active light when you’re out of work, or when you feel like you’re failing. But uncertainty is really another word for chance.
When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chances all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do. She took a job in consulting(咨询), but she knew she wouldn’t stay there. She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income(收入)by teaching students. Still, she didn’t think she wanted to go to graduate school. Allison knew she wasn’t doing what she wanted, but she didn’t know what she wanted.
She worried. All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses. She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out. After six years, Allison, by having a plan in mind, got married, moved to the Midwest, and used her consulting experience to get a great job. Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way: time well spent, and time we must all take if we’re being honest with ourselves.
The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty and make a choice. Otherwise your life is not your own—it is a path someone else has chosen. Moments of uncertainty are when you create your life, when you become who you are. Uncertainty usually begins with a job hunt, but it doesn’t end there. Every new role we take on means another round of uncertainty. Instead of fearing it, you should find some ways to deal with uncertainty.
【1】From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that .
A. being out of work is a sad thing
B. uncertainty is what makes life interesting
C. life in a film is more exciting than real life
D. chance never appears when we need it
【2】What troubles Allison after graduation?
A. She couldn’t find a well-paid job.
B. She had no money to start a business.
C. She was not sure what to do.
D. She didn’t score high enough for graduate school.
【3】How did Allison feel about her six years’ working experience?
A. Uncertain. B. Amazed.
C. Sorry. D. Satisfied.
【4】What may be discussed in the following paragraph?
A. How to deal with uncertainty.
B. What role uncertainty plays in life.
C. Why people fear uncertainty.
D. Whom to go to when facing uncertainty.
25、 A lot of toys have come and gone over the past 60 years, but Barbie (芭比娃娃) - short for Barbara - has always had a home on toy store shelves. According to The New York Times, however, “she” is more than just a toy. Barbie is watching the society’s changing attitudes (态度) toward women.
When Barbie was first introduced by Ruth Handler (1916-2002), one of the starters of US toy company Mattel, she had good plans. “Barbie has always shown the fact that a woman has choices,” according to a book, Dream Doll: The Ruth Handler Story.
But the earliest Barbie wasn’t offered too many choices at all. Barbie appeared either in a swimsuit or a housewife’s dress.
A good point is that the following years showed some progress, as Mattel introduced Barbie dolls with different skin colors and clothing for different jobs and hobbies. A new turning point came on International Women’s Day of 2018, when the company started a line of “Inspiring Women”. The dolls came out as famous women from history, including great US pilot Amelia Earhart and UK boxer (拳击手) Nicola Adams, which encouraged all other women.
But even though Mattel seemed to have good purposes, these new dolls weren’t safe from bad words. Unlike the real Nicola Adams, for example, the doll has no muscles (肌肉). Instead, it’s designed with a slim body, just like every other Barbie. According to the reporter Grace Kang, this exactly reflects the world’s present attitude toward women. “We’re allowed to be fit, but we’re not supposed to have too many muscles. We’re allowed to be clever, but smart women are meant to look like models with glasses on. We’re allowed to be creative and artistic, but quickly become ‘crazy’ if we start to look too messy,” she wrote.
No, Barbie isn’t perfect. But she’s slowly changing people’s views. Maybe that’s one thing real women can do.
【1】According to Paragraph 1, we know Barbie has always been __________.
A.expensive B.popular C.changeable
【2】Which of the following sentences could be added to describe the process in Barbie’s role changing?
Barbie used to be a housewife. | → |
| → | Barbie is a boxer who won the gold medal. |
A.Barbie took care of babies at borne.
B.Barbie became a great pilot in history.
C.Barbie with dark skin worked as a nurse.
【3】The underlined word “Inspiring” means __________ in the passage.
A.鼓舞人心的 B.启发灵感的 C.多愁善感的
【4】What might be the world’s present attitude toward women according to Grace Kang?
A.Women are supposed to be fit and strong.
B.Women should be like a crazy artist
C.Women are expected to be perfect.
【5】What is the purpose of the writer?
A.To make people change views toward women.
B.To help women to be more creative and artistic.
C.To encourage women to be perfect like Barbie.

27、My dad lost his job a few years ago. At the time, I thought it didn’t matter much, but I was wrong. That event changed my life.
Dad said we had to make some changes. Mom explained that I would have to stop taking dance lessons for a while. My brother Kenny couldn’t go to the summer camp, either. And we would have to save some money by cutting out unnecessary things.
The next few months we all helped out. Mom went back to work full-time. We had to cut out going to the movies. Kenny got a part-time job to make money in his free time. He even studied harder in college and got a scholarship (奖学金). As a middle school student, I couldn’t find a part-time job like my brother. I wanted to help, so I took out all the money I had saved to help our family pull through. As my mom was busy doing the job, I took on the responsibility of doing housework. Though it was hard for us, no one gave up and we encouraged each other.
After a few months, Dad found a job in the city Dad thanked us for helping out. He said, “We all came together as a family.”
Later on, I thought about what Dad said and realized he was right. We were all upset about giving things up, but we did what we could to help each other. Even though it was bad that my dad lost his job, it showed me what a family is all about.
