“Now,” Mrs. Virginia DeView said, smiling, “we are going to discover our professions.” The class seemed to be greatly surprised. Our professions? We were only 13 and 14 years old! The teacher must be        36  . “Yes, you will all be searching for your future  37 . Each of you will have to  38  someone in your field, and give an oral (口头的) report.”
Each day in her class, Virginia DeView reminded us about this. Finally, I  39  print journalism. This meant I had to go to interview a newspaper reporter. I was extremely nervous. I sat down in front of him 40  able to speak. He looked at me and said, “Did you bring a pencil or pen?” I shook my head. “How about some  41 ?” I shook my head again.

    Finally, I thought he realized I was too 42 , and I got my first big tip as a  43 . “Never, never go anywhere without a pen or paper. You never know what you’ll  44  into.” After a few days, I gave my oral report totally from memory in class. I got an A on the entire project.

    Years later, I was in college looking around for a new career, but with no success. Then I  45 Virginia DeView and my desire at 13 to be a journalist. And I called my parents. They didn't  46  me. They just reminded me how  47  the field was and how I had run away from competition all my life. This was true. But journalism did something to me; it was in my  48 . And it gave me the freedom to go up to total strangers and ask what was  49 .
For the past fifty years, I’ve had the most satisfying reporting career,  50  stories from murders to airplane  51  and finally choosing my strongest area. When I went to pick up my phone one day, an incredible wave of memories  52  me and I realized that had it not been  53  Virginia DeView, I would not be sitting at that desk.
I get  54  all the time : “How did you pick journalism?”
“Well, you see, there was this teacher…” I always start out. I just wish I could 55  her.

To win an Oscar is an achievement at any age. To do so at 22, as Jennifer Lawrence has, is just amazing. Recently, the American star won Best Actress at this year's Academy Awards for her role in the film The Silver Linings Playbook. According to Time magazine's Richard Corliss, Lawrence is that rare young actress who "lends a mature intelligence to any role".
Though Lawrence has found great success through her big screen work, Lawrence wasn't sure what she really liked doing before the age of 14. She thought she'd go to college and maybe find a career as a doctor or a travel agent.     
Lawrence's two brothers were star athletes and one of them was a straight-A student. Unlike them, she suffered through school, never quite finding where she belonged. However, during a trip to New York, Lawrence suddenly realized that she wanted to be an actress. When she was enjoying the beautiful city, a model seeker asked if he could take her picture, and the next day he called her in for an audition (试镜).      
"I read the script and it was the first time I had that feeling like I understand this," Lawrence said. "Within 20 minutes, in the cab ride from the hotel room, I decided I didn't want to be a model. In fact, I wanted to be an actress." Having appreciated this young lady's performance, the agency was so impressed with her reading that they signed her on the spot. But she insisted on finishing high school so she could give her full attention to her acting career.        
Lawrence burst onto the Hollywood scene last year with The Hunger Games, which established her as the highest-grossing (票房最高的) female action hero of all time. Rolling Stone called her “the most talented young actress in America".
小题1:What can we know about Jennifer Lawrence from Paragraph 3?
A.Her parents were really strict with her.
B.She seemed not to fit in with her school days well.
C.Her school performance made her today's fame.
D.Her two brothers were doing well in all school subjects.
小题2: Lawrence made up her mind to be an actress because of ______.
A.a model interview
B.her brothers' examples
C.the taxi-ride to her hotel room
D.the beautiful scenery of New York
小题3:From the text we can know that Lawrence is an actress of great ______.
A.confidenceB.ambition C.independenceD.talent
小题4:What is the best title of the text? 
A.Choosing RightB.Acting Wisely
C.Winning YoungD.Following Dreams

A girl became a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care, which meant visiting and taking care of a patient suffering from an incurable disease with days numbered.
The girl was assigned to look after an old man suffering from cancer whose children lived abroad. Their living conditions were not satisfactory while the old man had a lot of savings. She was expected to comfort him and keep up his spirits.
Every Saturday the girl came on time to keep him company, telling him stories. When he was having an intravenous drip (静脉滴注), she would help massage his arms. The doctor found the patient much improved mentally. The old man began to involve himself actively in the medical treatment and he seldom shouted at others.
But something that happened made the doctor uneasy and puzzled. Each time the girl left, the old man would give her some money. The doctor did nothing to interfere (干涉), unwilling to offend the old man. A month later the old man showed evident signs of decline after suffering coma (昏迷) a few times.
When rescued from the latest coma, the old man told the doctor his last wish, “I have deep sympathy for the girl. Will you be kind enough to help her finish her studies?”
But the doctor knew that her family was well­off and she had no difficulty pursuing her studies. Sometimes she even came to the hospital in her father’s car.
When the girl came at the weekend after the death of the old man, the doctor told her the bad news. She was very sad and burst into tears. Then she handed $ 500 to the doctor, saying, “The old man had all along thought I came to do the job because of poverty. He gave me money so that I could continue my schooling.” Now he got the answer to the puzzle. In the last period of his life, the old man found it a real pleasure to be able to help a girl badly in need.
小题1:If you’re a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care, what kind of people do you have to attend to?
A.Patients with a lot of money.
B.Patients suffering from cancer.
C.Patients without many days left.
D.Patients living alone.
小题2:What can we learn from the passage?
A.The doctor told the old man the truth.
B.The old man’s children were wealthy.
C.The girl’s father encouraged her to accept the money.
D.The girl didn’t accompany the old man when he died.

Doctor are known to Be terriBle pilots. They don't listen Because they already know it all. I was lucky: Became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years Before I graduated from medical school. I didn't realize then, But Becoming a pilot makes me a Better surgeon. I loved flying. As I flew Bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather. I learned aBout crew resource management (机组资源管理), or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that crew memBers should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions.
I first read aBout CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in Bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready.

That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and I've used it in the operating room ever since.
CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn't overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when I'm in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they're not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them , someday someone will keep me  from ”landing gear up”.
小题1:What dose the author say aBout doctors in general?
A.They like flying By themselves.

A.following flying requirements.
B.overreacting to different opinions.
C.listening to what fellow doctors say
D.making a mistake that may cost lives
