【原文】

Choosing what to study at college is definitely the biggest decision a young person makes. When students consider their majorthey often think about the security and the salary of the job.

But my choice of major is firmly the choice of my heart:journalism.

Many people don’t regard journalism as a good job at all. It’s seen as too demandingbecause a journalist must cover a wide range of news in different places. My parents want me to have a stable joband they also want my working environment to be safe and relaxing. Howeverjournalism isn’t safe or relaxing.

In spite of thatI still love the idea of a future in journalismand here are the reasons. FirstI have read and watched the news since I was a childalways hoping that one day I’d be able to cover the current events myself. Secondthe skills I would develop in journalismsuch as writing and editingwould really add to my life. But the most important reason for my wish to become a journalist is that lots of false information spread in the world via the internet. I want to be a journalist to play my part in fighting it.

Thereforealthough my parents don’t like my decisionI have a clear sense of its value and I believe that the world needs more good journalists at the moment.

【题目】I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career(职业).

I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.

I then found myself a job. Looking after two little girls, it wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.

One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification (资格证书) if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.

Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.

【题目】Best Inventions

Sun Power

People who buy solar panels (嵌板)for their home hope to help the environment and save some money. But they end up with large metal boxes on their roof. Tesla, a car company, solved the problem. The solution is the Solar Roof. It is a series of tiles () made to look like traditional roofing material while using the power of the sun. Tesla developed it with SolarCity, a longtime provider of solar panels. It is now available to the public.

Talking Tech

Echo gives users the ability to talk to their tech. Apple’s Siri and Microsoft’s Cortana do that too. But in many ways,Amazon’s version,Alexa, which is built into Echo,is more powerful. Alexa has grown since it was put on the market in 2014, and today, you can use it to turn on the lights, order a pizza, and more. Echo costs $ 180. Amazon recently developed a junior version, the $ 50 Echo Dot.

Spin and Roll

Goodyear is reinventing the wheel. It introduced its Eagle 360 spherical tire (球形轮胎) in March, 2016. The tires allow cars to move in many directions, including sideways, and at angles to handle slippery surfaces. The key is magnetic levitation (磁悬浮). Tires are fixed to cars, but Eagle 360s float beneath them. They’re meant for self-driving cars of tomorrow.

Cycle Safety

Jeff Woolf had a serious bike crash. If he hadn’t been wearing his helmet, he would have been badly hurt. He wondered why so many riders didn’t wear helmets. That turns out it was mostly because helmets were big and hard to carry around. Woolf, an engineer, came up with Morpher. The helmet is made from interwoven plastics (交错编织的塑料). It is strong, but it’s also flexible enough to fold almost totally flat. That makes it easy to carry. Morpher is priced at $ 119.

【题目】November 11 is Veterans Day in the United States. A "veteran" is anyone who has served in the armed forces. The term "veteran" is not just for those who have served in wars. It describes anyone who has ever been in the army.

On November11, people hold ceremonies(仪式) and parades(游行) to mark Veterans Day. Public officials take part in the events. Army bands play. And soldiers fire guns into the air to remember those who died in service to their country.

The history of Veterans Day relates to World War I. Many people at the time called it "the war to end all wars." The United States entered the fighting in Europe in 1917. Over 13 million men and women were reported for duty in the army. World War I ended at 11 o'clock in the morning on November 11, 1918. The following year, President Woodrow Wilson signed an official statement to celebrate November 11th as Armistice Day in the United States. It would be a day to honor the men and women who had served in the U.S. armed forces during the war. In 1926, Congress made Armistice Day a national holiday.

But new problems were on the way. Soon, everyone knew that World War I would not be the war to end all wars. In all, more than 4,000,000 Americans served in the armed forces during the first World War. And 16 million would serve during the second one.

Armistice Day in 1945 was a special day in the United States. Germany had surrendered in May 1945 and Japan in August. Most men and women who had served in the war were home. So, instead of honoring just veterans of World War I, Americans also honored veterans of World War II. In 1954, Congress decided to change the name of Armistice Day. The holiday became Veterans Day.

1Who does Veterans Day honour?

A. Those who lost their lives in wars.

B. Those who served in the wars.

C. Those who served in the army.

D. Those who served in the army in World War I.

2Why was November 1l made Veterans Day?

A. Because World War I ended at 11: 00 on November 11.

B. Because Woodrow Wilson signed a statement to celebrate it.

C. Because the USA entered the war on November 11.

D. Because November 11 was once called Armistice Day.

3What can we learn from the passage?

A. Women were not included in the army in the wars.

B. Armistice Day was not a national holiday until 1954.

C. Armistice Day was at first to honor those who died in the war.

D. More people from the USA served in World War II than in World War I.

4Which can be the best title of the passage?

A. Celebrations on Veterans Day

B. Meaning of Veterans Day

C. Veterans Day---a Day for the Army

D. Veterans Day in the U.S.
