In order to be recognized by the U.S. Small Business Administration(SBA), you have to be doing something right. Since Sheryl Page, president and CEO of Page One Consultants in Orlando，was named Woman-Owned Small Business Person of the Year by the State of Florida SBA in 2017，a lot of people have started to look at what she's doing and how her company has become so successful.
Page, who runs an engineering and construction consulting firm， started the business back in 1993，but sort of dragged along for many years with no big success. There were plenty of times when Page could have thrown in the towel, but she kept pushing through.
Starting out in an industry mainly made up of male-owned businesses wasn't easy，nor was the prospect of finding enough money to support the quality services she had to provide clients(客户) with. Page used as many as 15 credit cards to help the company stay in business in the early-to-mid 1990s. Then, she received a $ 250,000 7(a) SBA guaranteed loan in 2001 to keep the company afloat after nearly a decade in business.
Since then，the company has doubled profits， hired more than two dozen new team members, acquired more than a dozen new company vehicles， and almost doubled its square footage. It's a huge growth increase for a company that' s been around for nearly 25 years, and speaks to the hard work and commitment of Page and her team.
When asked what her biggest piece of advice to small business owners would be, Page said,“Keep your faith and be patient. Don't give up and don't quit!”Those words have been heard in many cases and do sound cliche( 陈词滥调)，but when they come from someone like Sheryl

Page, who is living proof of the good that can come from being patient, they ring truer than ever. If you learn anything from her company' s success, it should be that growth is rarely immediate, but that doesn't mean it isn't coming.
24. What does the underlined part“thrown in the towel" in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Given up. B. Sought help.
C. Come to a new level. D. Taken up something else.
25. In what situation did Page start her consulting business?
A. When there were few wise clients.
B. When the whole business was slow.
C. When it didn't have much development potential.
D. When businesswomen were not generally accepted.
26. What did Page do after she got the loan?
A. She started working for the SBA.
B. She put it into expanding her business.
C. She used most of it to start another company.
D. She first increased the team members' income.
27. What does the author think of the advice mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. It isn't detailed. B. It isn't in line with the truth,
C. It can have an immediate effect. D. It mirrors Page's personal experiences.
C
An advance in electronic publishing could make the e-book you are reading seem as dated as a silent film. Publishers hope to explore the growing success of e-books by releasing versions with added soundtracks(原声带) and musical accompaniments.
The noises in the first multimedia books- -released in Britain on Friday- -include rain hitting a window in a Sherlock Holmes tale. When the plot of a book reaches the most exciting part, background scores(配乐) will create tension.
Supporters argue that sound effects are the next logical development for e-books and will add excitement for younger readers. Critics， however, will argue that the noise will ruin the simple pleasure of having the imagination stimulated by reading.
Caroline Michel，chief executive of the literary agency， said the new generation of computer-literate readers was used to multiple sensory input. She said, “Young people have split computer screens where they may be watching television and replying to an e-mail at the same time. If that's what the market wants then we should respond to the market."
Booktrack's sound effects work by estimating the user's reading speed. Each time you“turn”a page， the software reassesses where you have reached in the text and times the sounds to switch on accordingly. If the soundtrack becomes out of synch(同步), a click on any word will reset it.
Some authors fear that a soundtrack could destroy the peace and quiet of libraries and ruin the pleasure of reading. David Nicholls, author of Our Day, the bestseller now released as a film，said,“This sounds like the opposite of reading. I have enough trouble reading an e-book because I' m constantly distracted by e- mails."
Stuart MacBride， the crime writer whose novel Shatter the Bones was an e-book bestseller，sells 18% of his books as electronic downloads. He said,“If I'm reading，I will do the noise in my head. I don' t need someone to tell me what tea cups clinking sounds like. That

would irritate(激怒) me.”
28. What do publishers expect an e-book soundtrack to do?
A. Help to release an e-book as a film. B. Help readers improve reading speed.
C. Add tension at a book's exciting point. D. Get readers familiar with the background.
29. Who is in favor of added soundtracks for e-books?
A. Mr. Darcy. B. Caroline Michel. C. David Nicholls. D. Stuart MacBride.
30. What do we know about Stuart MacBride?
A. He was a person who was easy to get angry.
B. He knew a great deal about tea and tea culture.
C. Eighty-two percent of his books described crime.
D. He imagined sounds related to the story when reading.
31. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. Opinions about e-books with soundtracks.
B. Response to the need of the book market.
C. Reasons for traditional e-books becoming outdated.
D. Suggestions on encouraging readers' imagination.

Life on the International Space Station( ISS)-the place where astronauts dwell(居住) in space- -differs from that on Earth. For example， astronauts have to rely on the ISS’ life support system, which provides oxygen and absorbs carbon dioxide. But sometimes astronauts need to deal with unusual air leaks(漏气).
Normally, the ISS releases a small amount of air each day to rid the harmful gases. But recently, the air seemed to be leaking at a slightly higher rate than usual, which became a cause for concern, according to MSN. The three crew members currently on board are staying in the Russian segment(舱段) of the ISS temporarily while NASA tries to find the origin of the leak in the US segment.
This isn't the first time that an air leak has occurred on the ISS. On Aug. 29, 2018，an air leak was discovered on the ISS. Fortunately， 6 people on board found a hole measuring 2 millimeters in diameter on Soyuz MS-09，a Russian spacecraft temporarily docked with the ISS. The astronauts patched the hole with tape. But the question remains: What can cause holes in the hard surface of spacecraft? Space debris(碎片) can.
In low orbit, space debris circles around Earth at speeds between 7 to 8 kilometers per second. Because of the high speed, it can penetrate(穿 透) the surface of the ISS. A NASA report submitted to the US Congress said the ISS has a 55-percent chance of being penetrated by some sort of space debris, according to the website New Scientist. However, finding a tiny hole is not easy.
The ISS measures some 109 meters by about 73 meters, roughly the size of a soccer field.So how do astronauts find a tiny hole in such a large area?
When air leaks occur, astronauts seal off various sections of the ISS to narrow down the area. Once the location of the leak is found， it is closed and the pressure on each side is checked.
This is exactly what NASA is doing now. The US space agency has been trying to find the hole， which is equivalent(相同的) to“finding pinholes in a large airliner”, Xinhua News
