2、ll. Choices can be hard.” Jeff BezosI got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. Id never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very

3、 exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and Id been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldnt work since most start-ups dont, and I wasnt sure what to expect. MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young

4、 boy, Id been a garage inventor. Id always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company

5、 selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didnt already have a good job.” That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to th

6、ink about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but finally, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didnt think I would regret trying and failing. After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and Im proud of t

10、 Hawkinson, 41, was driving her five-year-old twins home from school when she saw a sudden splash in Doctors Lake just ahead. What was that? She thought. As she drove up to the scene, she saw a half-submerged car sinking about 30 yards offshore. “It was going down pretty quickly,” Hawkinson recalls.

11、 She stopped the car near the boat ramp and ran toward the water. Water is going to be cold, she thought. She took off her vest(马甲) and leather boots, got into the icy water, and swam to the car, where she found Cameron Dorsey, five, trapped into his car as the swirling water rose around him. Hawkin

12、son tried to open the door, but it was locked. So she pushed and pulled hard on the partially open window until she could reach through and unlock the door. She pulled the boy free, swam to shore, and handed him off to onlookers who were only watching them on a dock. The driver, the boys suicidal(自杀

13、的) father, swam back to land on his own. Afterward, Hawkinson sat on the shore wrapped in a blanket. “For ten or 15 minutes, I couldnt stop shaking,” she said. Theres nothing visibly extraordinary about Melissa Hawkinson, an energetic stay-at-home mom with brown hair and a sweet smile. Yet something

14、 made her different from the dockside onlookers that day. Why do some people act quickly, willing to take a risk for a stranger? What makes them run toward danger rather than away from it? What makes them brave? Moreover, can bravery be learned, or is it a quality with which you are born? The answer

15、 is complex. Bravery taps the mind, brain and heart. It comes from instinct, training and sympathy. Today, neurologists, psychologists and other researchers are studying bravery, trying to uncover the mystery.25. It can be learned from the passage that _. A.

To show people bravery can be learned.CPeople around the world drink about 180 billion liters of soda a year.

19、That translates to more than 29 liters per person. Experts say the amount of carbonated soft drinks we consume(消费) is growing. New research from the American Heart Association finds that drinking soda, even diet soda, may significantly increase your risk for heart disease. Dr. Ramachandran Vasanled

20、the study. Drinking just one or more sodas a day may not be as innocuous as people think.In a large study of 9,000 people, doctors discovered that those who drank one or more sodas a day had a 30% increased risk for obesity(肥胖), a 25% increase in the risk for abnormal(非正常的) blood sugar levels, and a

21、 32% increase in the odds of having low levels of good cholesterol(胆固醇). All of these factors increase the risk for heart disease. And there was no difference in the results for those who drank diet soda or regular soda. Its something that surprised even the researchers. Critics of the study say die

22、t soda may not be the cause of increased risk of heart disease. Connie Diekman is president of the American Dietetic Association. It does not conclusively say that this will cause that.In other words, it could be that unhealthy people like soda. Dr. Vasan found those who drink soda generally tend to

23、 have greater caloric intake. They eat more saturated fat and trans fats. They also eat less fiber and exercise less. Diet soda drinkers may also share this unhealthy lifestyle. Dr. Vasan agrees that the link he found between heart disease risk and diet soda needs additional study.29. The underlined

A. All the experts agree to the conclusion drawn from the study. B. Sodas of any kind are certain to incr

26、ease the risk for heart disease.C. All the results of the research meet peoples expectations.D. More studies are needed to prove the conclusion of the study.D Most of the guests who come on our trips have never been to Egypt before. We want to make everyone comfortable and at ease, but we do always

For the ladies, bathing suits are normal if theres a pool where you are going, but leave the string bikini at home-it is a Muslim country, after all.

29、of upper Egypt, ladies will need to plan on bringing something that comes at feast to the elbow(肘部), and no shorts for men or women in those areas. What special things do I need to pack?
