10、was once a student of St.Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton. University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.His life with her was full of great happiness,

11、as he wrote in his diary :“ My own happiness in the past often approached such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920, encouraged by its

12、 success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel the Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Thales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was The Great Gatsby, published in 1925,which quick

13、brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.However, Fitzgeralds problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his

14、life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The love of the last Tycoon in 1940. While his wife was in hospital in the United States, he got totally addicted to alcohol. Sheila Graham,

18、zgeralds contributions to the literary worldB“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said each time I faced disappointment or even depression. “If you carry on, one day, something good will happen. And youll realize that it wouldnt have happened if not for that previous disappointment.”Mother w

19、as right, but I didnt realize that until I graduated from college in 1932. I had decided to try for a job in radio and then work my way up to be a sports announcer. I hitchhiked (搭顺风车) to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station and got turned down every time. In one studio, a kind lady told

20、 me that in most cases, big stations couldnt risk hiring an inexperienced person. “Go out in the remote areas and find a small station thatll 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 opene

21、d 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 wasnt hired. My disappointment must have shown. “Everything happens for the best.” Mom reminded me. Dad offered me the car

22、 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. I asked aloud, “How can a fellow get to be a sports announcer if he cant get a job

23、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 2

24、0 seconds with a 65-yard run. I did a 15-minute boost to that play, and Peter told me I would be broadcasting Saturdays game!On my way home, as I have had many times since, I thought of my mothers words, “If you carry on, one day, something good will happen. It wouldnt have happened if not for that

25、previous disappointment.”24.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The author graduated from college in the 1930s.B. The authors dream job was a sports announcer.C. The author was refused by every radio station across the country.D. The author was considered unqualified because of his lack

To break down.26.What can be inferred from the passage?A. The author was given a car by his father after he

27、failed his first-ever job interview.B. The authors mom always advised him to learn from his failures.C. Peter MacArthur, the program director of WOC Radio, turned down the author for his lack of flexibility.D. Peter MacArthur was able to recognize the talent of the author as a sports announcer.27.Wh

28、at lesson can be drawn from the authors experience in the passage?A. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.B. Practice makes perfect.C. No pain, no gain.D. The early bird catches the worm.CIts 3 oclock and youve been hard at work. As you sit at your desk, a strong desire for chocolate overcomes you. You

29、 try to busy yourself to make it go away. But it doesnt. Here is another situation. Perhaps you are not feeling well. The only thing you want to eat is a big bowl of chicken soup, like your mom used to make when you were sick as a child. Food cravings are a strong desire for a specific type of food.

30、 And they are normal.Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simple connection between the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger.” When our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone (荷尔蒙) sends a mes

31、sage to one part of the brain for more food, which regulates our most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then produces a chemical to start the appetite and you eat. Hunger is a function of survival.A craving is more complex. It activates (使活跃) brain areas related to emo

32、tion, memory and reward. These are the same areas of the brain activated during drug-craving studies. So, some scientists call food cravings “mind hunger.” People often crave foods that are high in fat and sugar. Foods that are high in fat or high in sugar produce chemicals in the brain. These chemi

33、cals give us feelings of pleasure.In a 2007 study, researchers at Cambridge University found that “dieting or restricted eating generally increases the possibility of food craving.” So, the more you deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fasting is a bit different. T

34、hey found that eating no food at all for a short period of time lessened food cravings.So, the next time you crave something very specific, know that your brain may be more to blame than your stomach.28.What is the function of the first paragraph?A. To remind readers of their own special food.B. To

35、deepen the understanding of hunger.C. To report the discovery of craving study.D. To lead to the topic of the whole passage.29.What do we learn about food craving?A. It shows food is linked to feelings.B. It ensures a person survives hunger.C. It means the stomach functions well.D. It proves the bra

36、in decides your appetite.30.Whats the likely result of dieting?A. The decrease of chemicals. B. The increase of food desire.C. The refusal of fat and sugar. D. The disappearance of appetite.31.What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The functions of brain areas. B. What hunger is all about.C. The fi

37、ndings of food craving. D. What dieting may bring us.DImagine youre standing in line to buy an after-school snack at a store. You step up to the counter and the cashier scans your food. Next, you have to pay. But instead of scanning a QR code (二维码) with your smartphone, you just hold out your hand s

38、o the cashier can scan your fingerprint. Or, a camera scans your face, your eyes or even your ear.Now, this type of technology might not be far away. As technology companies move away from the traditional password, biometric(生物识别的) security, which includes fingerprint, face and voice ID, is becoming

39、 increasingly popular.In 2013, Apple introduced the iPhone 5s, one of the first smartphones with a fingerprint scanner. Since then, using ones fingerprint to unlock a phone and make mobile payments has become commonplace, bringing convenience to our lives. And since last year, Samsung has featured e

40、ye-scanning technology in its top smartphones, while Apples new iPhone X can even scan a users face. But despite its popularity, experts warn that biometrics might not be as secure as wed imagined. “Biometrics are ideally good, but in practice, not so much” said John Michener, a biometrics expert.Wh

41、en introducing the new iPhones Face ID feature, Phil Schiller, Apples senior vice president, said, “The chance that a random person in the population could look at your iPhone X and unlock it with their face is about one in a million.” But its already been done. In a video posted on community websit

42、e Reddi, two brothers showed how they were each able to unlock the same iPhone X using their own face. And they arent even twins.“We may expect too much from biometrics,” Anil Jain, a computer science professor at Michigan State University, told CBS News. “No security systems are perfect.”Earlier th

43、is year, Jain found a way to trick biometric security. Using a printed copy of a thumbprint, she was able to unlock a dead persons smartphone for police, according to tech website Splinter. “Its good to see biometrics being used more,” Jain told CBS News, “because it adds another factors for securit
