Katharine Meyer Graham was once described as "the most powerful woman in America." She was not a government official or elected representative, but she owned The Washington Post newspaper. Under her leadership, it became one of the most important newspapers in the country. Katharine Meyer was born in a rich family in New York City in 1917. In 1933, her father had bought a failing newspaper, The Washington Post. Her marriage was a tragedy. Her husband treated her badly and suffered from mental illness, killing himself in 1963. With no training or experience in business, she was insecure and she did not think she had the ability to do an important job. But Katharine Graham didn't give up. In 1969, Missus Graham became publisher as well as president of The Washington Post Company. In the 1970s, The Washington Post became famous around the world because of two major successes. In 1971, an order from a federal judge stopped The New York Times from publishing the Pentagon(五角大楼)Papers, because President Richard Nixon believed publication would endanger national security. Yet Katharine Graham ruled against the judge's order and decided to publish the Pentagon Papers in The Washington Post, which was considered a major success for freedom of the press. In 1972, The Washington Post had another major success. Through the long Watergate(水门事件)investigation, despite government' s threat, Missus Graham supported her reporters and editors. The newspaper was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for public service in 1973 for its Watergate reporting. The next year, President Nixon resigned from office. Katharine Graham died of head injuries when she was eighty-four. She used her intelligence and bravery to improve the American media. After her death, the employees of The Washington Post wrote: "A world without Katharine Graham will not be the same at all." 【1】What is Katharine Graham remembered for? A.Her struggling with her unfortunate marriage. B.Her success in running The Washington Post. C.Her bravery in competing with other newspapers. D.Her close relationship with her reporters and editors. 【2】How did Katharine Graham feel before taking over the business? A.Excited and overjoyed. B.Curious and eager. C.Unconfident and unsure. D.Annoyed and upset. 【3】What can we learn about Katharine Graham from Paragraphs 4 and 5? A.Her determination and bravery led to the success of the newspaper. B.Her father laid a solid foundation for her success. C.She was good at working with the government. D.She was born a great leader. 【4】Which might be the best title for the passage? A.The Rise of The Washington Post B.The Making of a Great Newspaper C.Great Newspapers of the United States D.A Powerful Media Leader in America |

A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the candy they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment. By the time the children reach high school, something amazing has happened. A survey found that those who was four year old had enough self-control to hold out generally and grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation (诱惑) early were more likely to be lonely, easily upset in time of difficulties and inflexible. Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn’t show up on an IQ test. The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists’ concerns. But brain theory can’t explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would defeat a less resistant (有抵抗力的) person. Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting people’s success, brain ability measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as “character”. EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together, how one’s ability handles stress, for instance, affecting the ability to concentrate and putting intelligence to use. Among the ingredients (要素) for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%, the rest depends on everything from social class to luck. While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse. 【1】Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text? A. make the readers amused B. prove the scientist’s wisdom C. introduce the topic of the text D. show us how to do an IQ test 【2】The experiment with the four-year-olds shows us that . A. the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experiment B. the ability of self-control plays a role in personal success C. emotional intelligence won’t show up until Teen years. D. candy can be used to measure a person’s emotional intelligence 【3】The underlined word “upbeat” in Paragraph 4 probably means . A. positive B. negative C. impatient D. friendly 【4】From the passage we learn that . A. EQ does not have any connection with IQ B. The higher a person’s IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is C. Brain theory is able to explain what we wonder about most D. Scientists haven’t discovered the way EQ and IQ work together |

The Education Secretary Michael Gove said all schools should follow the example set in the Far East where pupils are expected to follow a longer day and get less time off. In a speech, he warned the current shape of the academic year was created to fit the needs of an agricultural economy, with pupils taking time off in October to help harvest. The lack of time spent in the classroom is particularly damaging to children from poor backgrounds, Mr. Gove said. Some of the Government's flagship academies---state schools run independent of local council controls---are using their independence to reform the school day, he said. Some open at 8:30 am and expect children to remain until at least 4:30 pm to undertake sport, music and other extra-curricular activities. Other schools such as David Young Community Academy operate four-week summer holidays for fear that children suffer an academic fall during the traditional six-week break. Mr. Gove suggested all schools should follow a similar model to enable the nation to catch up with education systems elsewhere in the world. But his suggestions are likely to cause anger among teachers who are fiercely protective of the six-week summer break which they claim is vital for them to recharge their batteries. Earlier this month, the National Union of Teachers actually called for a shorter school day. But addressing the Spectator Education Conference in central London, Mr. Gove said a "higher level of effort is expected on behalf of students, parents and teachers" in nations such as Singapore and elsewhere in the Far East. He insisted the Government was changing teachers' pay and working conditions which meant they could be paid more for taking on extra duties, allowing heads to organize their staff "in a way to get more out of young people". "The expectation is that to succeed, hard work is at the heart of everything," he said. "If you look at the length of the school day and summer holiday in England---and we compare it to the extra tuition and support children are receiving elsewhere---then we are fighting or actually running in this global race in a way without doubt we start with a significant obstacle." 【1】Which of the following is right according to the passage? A.Some schools in the UK have prolonged the school day. B.A shorter school day helps employ more young teachers. C.Teachers in the Far East long to have a longer holiday. D.A longer school day makes no difference to poor children. 【2】Why are teachers against Mr. Gove’s suggestions? A.They will get less pay if the holidays are shorter B.Children’s performance will be worse if holidays are shorter C.They will not have enough time to relax D.Children will have fewer after-school activities. 【3】What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A.The length of holidays should be increased. B.The length of the school day is disadvantageous to England. C.England has lost the global race in education. D.The government offers a higher pay to attract more teachers. 【4】Where is the text most likely from? A.An agricultural book. B.A notebook. C.A diary. D.A newspaper. |

Ways to improve your mental health in 2020 Looking on the bright side of life really is beneficial. Optimists have a less chance of having a heart attack or stroke, a bigger chance of a healthy and long life. However, being an optimist doesn't mean you ignore the stress of daily life. 【1】. How to do that? Practice optimism Faced with a challenge, optimists more often see it as temporary or even positive, allowing themselves to learn and grow. 【2】. Imagining yourself with all of your problems solved in a future may work. 【3】 Studies have shown putting the well-being of others before our own without expecting anything in return is useful. Even if you have little time to offer, just the act of giving has been shown to improve our health, possibly by temporarily reducing our sense of pain. Be grateful Being thankful protects us against anxiety and depression and boosts optimism. 【4】. Before going to bed, jot down any positive experience you had that day, however small. Improve your social connections Good relationships keep us happier and healthier. 【5】. Instead, it's the quality of the relationship that matters. High-conflict marriages, for example, without much affection, turn out to be bad for our health, perhaps worse than getting divorced, though it's not right to make light of divorce. A.Start volunteering B.Find your purpose C.And you don't have to have scores of friends to get this benefit D.One of the best ways to make it a part of your life is to keep a daily journal E.It simply means when unpleasant things happen, don't blame yourself unnecessarily F.People who are more socially connected to family, to friends, or to community, are happier G.They also believe they have control over their fate and can create opportunities for good things to happen |
