The earliestdaily newspaper was started in Rome in 59 B.C. In the 700's the world's first printed newspaper was published. Europe didn't have a regularly published newspaper until 1609, when one was started in Germany.The first regularly published newspaper in English was printed in Amsterdam in 1620. In 1621, an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week. The first daily English newspaper was the Daily Courant, which came out in March 1702.In 1690, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. But not long after it was published, the government stopped the paper. In 1704, John Cambell started the Boston Newspaper, the first newspaper published daily in the American colonies. By 1760, the colonies had more than thirty daily newspapers. There are now about 1,800 daily papers in the United States.Today, as a group, English language newspapers have the largest circulation (发行量) in the world. But the largest circulation for a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun. It sells more than eleven million every year.24.

History of Daily NewspaperC. The Beginning of NewspaperD. History of NewspaperCOn the first day of the 11th grade, our new math teacher Mr Washington asked me to go to the blackboard to do a math problem. I told him that I couldn’t do it. He asked, “Why not?” Ipaused, and then I said, “Because I’m educa ble mentally retarded (可教育智能迟滞).”He came from behind his desk and looked at me. “Don’t ever say that again. Someone’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality,” he said.It was a very special moment for me. Doctors said that I was educable mentally retarded in the fifth grade, and I was put back into the fourth grade. When I was in the eighth grade, I failed again.But Mr Washington changed my life. This person always gave students the feeling that he had high expectations of them, and then all of the students did their best to live up to what those expectations were. He often said, “You have greatness within you.”One day, I caught up with him in the parking pla ce and said, “Mr Washington, is there greatness within me, sir?”He said, “Yes, Mr Brown.”“But what about the fact that I failed English, math, and history? What about that, sir? I’m slower than most kids.”“It doesn’t matter. It just means that you have to work harder. Your grades don’t determine who you are or what you can produce in your life.”“I want to buy my mother a house.”“It is possible, Mr Brown. You can do that.” And he turned to walk away.“Mr Washington?”“What do you want now?”“Uh, I’m the one, sir. One day you’re go ing to hear my name. I’m the one, sir.”School was a real struggle for me. Mr Washington put many demands on me. He made me believe that I could do it. At the end of that year, I was on the honor roll for the first time in my life.Years later, I produced five programs on public television. When one of my programs was shown on the educational television channel, I had some friends call him. I was sitting by the phone waiting when he called me. He s aid, “May I speak to Mr Brown, please?”“Oh, Mr Washington, is that you?”“Yes, it’s me. You were the one, weren’t you?”“Yes, sir, I was.”……28. What does Mr Washington mean by saying “Someone’s opinion of you does not have tobecome your reality”?A. You needn’t have the same opinion as others.B. What other people say about you may not be correct..C. You should believe what other people say.D. The doctor made a mistake.29. How many years did it take the author to finish the tenth grade?A. Ten years.B. Eleven years.C. Twelve years.D. Thirteen years.30. What happened to the author at last?A. He entered a good university.B. He earned much honor.C. He got a good job.D. He made television programs.31. In the passage, the author implies that _________.A. people should n’t believe what doctors sayB. no one can be successful with hard work and confidenceC. a good teacher can change a student’s lifeD. no one is really educable mentally retarded.DSome people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then graduallymake it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really goodat something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you l ove. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will li kely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, y ou know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.. I t’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong any way.Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and d ay out, almost to the point of addiction(沉迷), and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will g uarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.32.Paragraph 1 mainly talks about _____.A. the importance of success.B.the meaning of successC.the standards of successD.the reasons for success33.In Paragraph 2, the underlined word that refers to _____.A. succeeding in lifeB.setting a practical goalC.putting in more timeD.being good at something.34.Successful people suggest doing what one loves because_____.A.work makes one feel painB. one tends to enjoy his workC.one gives up his work easilyD.it takes a lot of time to succeed35.What is the main theme of the passage?A. Having a goal is vital to success.B. One cannot succeed without time and practice.C. Being good is different from being great..D. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation.I didn’t want to mess with that.Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.Perhaps we all live in each others’ spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.4. What happened when the author was about to take a photo?A. Her camera stopped working.B. A woman blocked her view.C. Someone asked her to leave.D. A friend approached from behind.5. According to the author, the woman was probably_______.A. enjoying herselfB. losing her patienceC. waiting for the sunsetD. thinking about her past6. In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive?A. The rich color of the landscape.B. The perfect positioning of the camera.C. The woman’s existence in the photo.D. The soft sunlight that summer day.7. The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections upon _______.A. a particular life experienceB. the pleasure of travelingC. the art of photographyD. a lost friendshipCImagine you got paid to do shopping, and could keep the things you bought with other people's money. Does this sound like a dream? Well, for some, like Amy Knott, from Chicago, this is their job.Amy Knott is a mystery shopper. She is paid to visit a store, eat in a restaurant, go to a bank, stay in a hotel, get her hair cut, fill up her gas tank, or see a movie. She pretends to be an ordinary customer, but afterwards she writes a report about her experience, commenting on things like：How long did you wait in line? Was the food hot? Did the cashier say " Thank you.”？Did the restroom have soap and tissue? This gives companies useful information about how they can improve their customer service.So who can become a mystery shopper? You do not need any special qualifications or experience, but you need a good memory, an eye for detail, and good writing skills. When you apply for the job, instead of an interview, you will be asked to write about something like "What was your best shopping experience?"What is the pay like? For a 15-minute visit to a store, you might get $ 10 and the cost of what you buy. For a haircut, you might get $ 35 and the cost of the haircut. Most mystery shoppers do this job in their spare time, like Byron Jenner, who visits a restaurant on his lunch break every day and earns about $ 500 extra a month. But others, like Amy, make it their full-time career, and earn up to $ 40,000 a year."I love mystery shopping. I can't believe I actually get paid to have fun," she said. "For example, tonight my husband and I will go out, have a $ 150 dinner, go to stay at a luxury hotel, and I'll walk away with $ 300.”8.

Yet many American teachers say they feel overworked, undervalued, and underpaid. This has led to what education experts call ‘teacher burnout’, a feeling of mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion.In all, nearly 50 percent of American teachers leave the profession before their fifth year. That information comes from a 2010 study by the advisory service McKinsey & Company.And, a 2017 study from Penn State University found that 46 percent of teachers report high daily stress. Teachers say the stress affects their sleep, health, teaching performance, and quality of life. The study identified mindfulness training as one promising solution for improving teacher well-being.The Greater Good Science Center at the University of California — Berkeley studies the science and practice of well-being. It defines mindfulness as keeping “a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment.”A person can reach this emotional state by spending time in quiet thought, without judging these thoughts and feelings. A number of people also meditate — they take slow, deep breaths to become calm.Many organizations around the country have designed mindfulness training programs for schools. Some of them are designed for teachers. The programs seek to reduce teacher stress while helping them be more effective in the classroom.Maureen Naughton is a seventh grade science teacher at a public middle school in the Bronx section of New York City. As a highly active teacher, Naughton would sometimes forget to take time to herself. But after the programs she shared the methods such as mindful walking and mindful eating — ways of enjoying those activities fully instead of being distracted by worries or responsibilities.Naughton also said the deep breathing methods help her to maintain calm whenfaced with the stress of trying to “meet everyone’s needs.”12.
