She trusted me to complete things, so I completed them perfectly. She loved how 22 I was, so I began to show up to paint more and more. She believed in me, so I began to believe in myself.Mrs. Neidl's 23 that year was, “Try it. We can always paint over it 24 !”I began to take 25 .

In fact, he's one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume （简历）and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues （问题）, approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. I'm sure you would hate to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He said he has a great assignment （分工）, and you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He appreciates the responsibility you've given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.So why is he looking for a way out?He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, where it can be played, and what the budget is.He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he's doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down andinside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. That's what you want for him, too, isn't it?So your reporter has set me thinking.Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists—everyone—is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we can't do it, they'll find someone who can.36. What does the writer think of the reporter?A. Optimistic.B. Imaginative.C. Ambitious.D. Proud.37.

He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dive in after him.“I didn’t think at all,”Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.”Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the pier（码头）when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he approached the river. In an instant, he took off his coat and jumped into the water.When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when she was out of the water, she opened her eyes.Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn’t realize his tale of heroism, and had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the next morning.“I don’t really think I’m a hero,”said Duret.“Anyone would do the same thing.”40.

Having enough free time is more important to most Americans than being rich, according to a new poll.Only 13 percent of more than 2,400 people questioned in the telephone poll ranked beingwealthy as most important to them, while67 percent ranked free time as their top priority, higher than having a successful career, getting married, and having children. "Everyone wants free time to do the things they want to do, young, middle-aged or old," said Richard Morin, of the Pew Social & Demographic Trends Project, which conducted the survey. "So our desire to play unites us. "The poll also showed that people who were university educated valued career success over wealth, so did middle-aged people. Not surprisingly, those who didn't have money, ranked wealth very highly. This included minorities, first generation Americans and less educated people. The survey also revealed that a disproportionate（不成比例的）number of people under the age of 30 and retirees in the group made ＄20,000 or less a year. But the emphasis on wealth lessens with age, with younger people putting value on it but hardly any seniors. "It just diminishes with time as the reality sets in that you would never be rich," Morin said. "But also, the reality sets in that you don't have to be rich to lead a very comfortable and fulfilling life. "While wealth was not at the top of people's list of priorities, 43 percent still said it was somewhat important.44. The poll showed that the majority of Americanpeople ranked ________ as the most important.A. wealthB. a successful careerC. marriageD. free time45. Who cares least for wealth, according to thepassage?A. Young people.B. Middle-aged people.C. Old people.D. Well-educated people.46. According to the poll, middle-aged peopleregarded ______ as more important.A. success in careerB. education levelC. wealthD. comfort47. The underlined word "diminishes" in the thirdparagraph probably means __________.A. increasesB. decreasesC. changesD. staysDResearchers, policy makers and activists are busy preparing for the International AIDS Conference. The next conference begins Sunday in Vienna, Austria. On Tuesday, the Obama administration announced its National HIV/AIDS Strategy. The plan aims to reduce new HIV infections by twenty-five percent within five years. It also aims to make sure infected patients get treatment more quickly.HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. The government says sixty-five percent of Americans who discover they are infected get treatment within three months. The new plan calls for increasing that to eighty-five percent. Thirty million dollars from the health care reform law is to go to support prevention activities, including expanded HIV testing.Over one million Americans are living with the virus, out of an estimated thirty-three million people worldwide.Last week, government scientists in the United States announced the discovery of two antibodies （抗体）that raise hopes for an AIDS vaccine（疫苗）. They say these antibodies can stop more than ninety percent of all known strains of HIV. Antibodies are proteins that the body makes to help protect itself against infection. Researchers made the discovery at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The director of its Vaccine Research Center, Gary Nabel, says each antibody blocks the virus from attaching to white blood cells.The UN AIDS agency gives credit to proper measures. It says young people in Africa are waiting longer to have sex. They are also having fewer sexual partners. And they are increasingly using condoms（安全套）. The agency says with the methods HIV rates are falling in sixteen of the twenty-five hardest-hit countries in Africa.48. All of the following about the Obamaadministration’s National HIV Strategy is true EXCEPT __________.A. It aims to cut down the number of newinfections on a large scaleB. It aims to put 65% of infected Americans intothe quick treatment systemC. It ensures the quick treatment of the Americanswho get infectedD.

(建议用时：40分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2020·福建泉州质检)Ashley Power’s mother bought a computer for her when she was eight. When she was thirteen, she was surfing the Internet on a regular basis, but she couldn’t find anywhere for teenagers to meet and talk. And one day she thought, “If I had my own website, I’d make it a really interesting site for teenagers.”Consequently, when Ashley was sixteen, she started her own website called GooseHead. She had no idea how big a success it would be, but three years later, the site was the most successful teen site in the USA! It was getting 100，000 hits every day, and Ashley had about 30 employees.After a few years, the website closed down. Then Ashley, who lived in Los Angeles, was asked to write a book called GooseHead Guide to Life. The book is about how to design a website and start a business. It begins with a section called “All about Ashley”，where Ashley tells readers what it’s like to be the boss of a company when you’re only sixteen—not always easy!In her book, Ashley talks about the problems that teenagers have today plus the importance of friendship. She also focuses on being independent. “Learn to love your friends but not rely on them. I did that by creati ng GooseHead on my own.”Ashley says that GooseHead Guide to Life is not a book of teenage advice. “It isn’t a book that’s going to tell you what to do. I hope you can work that out by yourself，”she says. “I just want to provide a little inspiration for teenagers. Maybe after reading my story, you’ll start your own website! But perhaps you’ve got a better idea? Well, if I were you, I’d just do it, whatever it is. Maybe it won’t work—but maybe it will.”【解题导语】本文主要讲述了阿什莉·鲍尔勇于追梦的故事。
