15.I wasn't interested in becoming a model at first.I worked as a receptionist in a beauty shop during high school.It was in South Dakota.A woman who had worked for Vogue-a famous fashion magazine said to me,"Why don't you go to New York and be a model?"
So I went to New York at eighteen.I went to the first model agency,they thought that I was too long-waisted.It was too bad since I came all the way from South Dakota.I did an information check on the internet and found that Hunting Hartford had just bought the agency.I looked up in the telephone book and dialed.Then I went there.About half an hour later,the man who had just taken over the agency-he had been a male model before-came in.I was just staring at this unfamiliar man when he said,"You!Come into my office!"
How do you feel as a fashion model?Quite OK,I should say.But you stop thinking when you are working.It takes a lot of nervous energy as well because the camera goes one,two,three very fast and you have to move very fast.I like my job because it gives me freedom.I can have half a day off to do things I like.I can't do that if I do a normal job.I never like becoming a secretary.They have to sit in the office for eight hours a day,facing the same people.
Most models,after one or two years,can't be still very interested in it.But I like being a model.Maybe I was a born one,as many people say.

4.Who inspired the author's desire to become a model?A
A.A woman customer in the beauty shop.
B.Hunting Hartford.
C.The author herself.
D.The author's father.
5.Why didn't the author return to South Dakota when she was first refused?D
A.Because she had a strong desire to become a model.
B.Because she liked to be a receptionist at a beauty shop.
C.Because Hunting Hartford asked her not to go back.
D.Because South Dakota is far away from New York.
6.Why did the author like being a model?B
A.Because she liked the woman customer.
B.Because she liked the freedom.
C.Because she liked to have a regular work schedule.
D.Because she liked Hunting Hartford.
7.What can we learn from the passage?C
A.Perseverance leads to your success.
B.Finding a job you like to do is important.
C.Both A and B.
D.Becoming a model is quite easy.

3.Hey,mom,I want you to stop dropping me off at the airport for some trip that I am about to take and start becoming my seatmate.I want to travel with you----just you.

Now I want you to see how much I grow up while abroad---I'm a different person,Mom.And I know you'd be different too.I know that someone has shared a similar burst of emotion while diving into Australia's Great Barrier Reef for the first time.
So what do you say,Mom?Will youthrow responsibility to the wind?I want to travel with you.Let's just go---we can go anywhere in the world,just you and I.You can pick the place,and I will do the rest.
Love,
Katka

7.Lisa is a good example of a student in shock.She is an attractive,intelligent twenty-year-old college junior at a state university.She was a straight.-A student in high school and a member of basketball and volleyball teams there.Now,only three years later,Lisa is miserable.She has changed her major four times and is forced to hold down two part-time jobs in order to pay her tuition.She suffers from sleeping and eating disorders and has no close friends.Sometimes she bursts out crying for no apparent reasons.
What is happening to Lisa happens to millions of college students each year.As a result,about one-quarter of the student population at any time will suffer from symptoms(症状)of depression of that group,almost half will experience depression intense(强烈的)enough to call for professional help.But many reject tli at idea,because they don't want people to think there's something wrong with them.
There are three reasons why today's students are suffering more than in earlier generations.First is a weakening family support structure.Today,with high divorce rates and many parents experiencing their own psychological difficulties,the traditional family is not always available for guidance and support.Another problem is financial pressure.In the last decade tuition costs have skyrocketed-up about sixty-six-percent at public colleges and ninety percent at private schools.At the same time there has been a cutback in federal aid to students.College loans ate now much harder to obtain.Consequently,most students must work at their part time.
A final cause of student shock is the large selection of majors available.Because of the mu1titude(众多)and difficulty of choosing a major,college can prove a time of great indecision.Many students switch majors.As a result,it is becoming common place to take five or six years to get a degree.It can be depressing for students to be faced with the added tuition costs.
