Jenifer Mauer has needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal of earning a nursing degree. That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor’s degree.
Mauer, of Edgar, Wisconsin, grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition (学费), because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.
Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jenifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times.
Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed (牺牲) to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. “Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers,” she says. However, her children have learned an important lesson witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family—and that’s pretty powerful.
24. What did Jennifer do after high school?
A. She helped her dad with his work.
B. She ran the family farm on her own.
C. She supported herself through college.
D. She taught her sisters and brothers at home.
25. Why did Jennifer choose the program at Ministry Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Marshfield?
A. To take care of her kids easily. B. To learn from the best nurses.
C. To save money for her parents. D. To find a well-paid job there.
26. What did Jennifer sacrifice to achieve her goal?
A. Her health. B. Her time with family.
C. Her reputation. D. Her chance of promotion.
27. What can we learn from Jenifer’s story?
A. Time is money. B. Love breaks down barriers.
C. Hard work pays off. D. Education is the key to success.
C
Scientists have known for a long time about a link between chronic (慢性的) stress and obesity. But they couldn’t find the key factor in the past. Recently researchers at Georgetown University in Washington, D. C. made what they call a “perfect advance”.
Dr. Zofia Zukowska says “Thanks to our hard work of the past years, we have actually discovered the exact reason why people get fat when they are stressed and eat a high fat, high sugar diet. And by knowing the reason, we can now deal with obesity.” Dr. Zukowska and her colleagues put laboratory mice under the same type of stress they would experience in the wild such as meeting up with a more aggressive and dangerous mouse. They then fed these mice a fast food diet. The mice became fat.
What’s more, they found an increased amount of a chemical called neuropeptide Y, or NPY for short, in these mice, which is activated by stress and helps stimulate (刺激) the growth of fat cells. And the fat in mice grew around their middle, just as it does in humans. Middle fat is the most dangerous kind, as it affects the heart and liver, causing heart disease, adding to cholesterol (胆固醇) levels, high blood pressure, and so on. But the researchers found they could block the fat-causing NPY with another chemical, and thus could manipulate obesity effectively.
To their pleasant surprise, NPY seems to work in the human body much like it does in mice. If so, Dr. Zofia Zukowska says it would be a major advance in the battle against obesity, which will be used to cure the patient of the disease caused by stress and obesity. However, the researchers say many more studies need to be done before human trials can begin.
28. According to the passage, the “perfect advance” refers to discovering _________.
A. the reason why mice get stressed and fat
B. the cause leading to people’s stress and obesity
C. the reason why stressed people tend to become fat
D. a way to cure people of obesity caused by stress
29. It can be inferred that when a weak mouse lives with a more aggressive one, ______.
A. the weak one is likely to become worried and take in more fat and sugar
B. the weak one will be afraid and eat less and less
C. the aggressive one will suffer from stress and obesity
D. the aggressive one will eat the weak one’s food as well as its own
30. The underlined word “manipulate” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “______”.
A. pick up B. take control of
C. make the most of D. have a knowledge of
31. Middle fat is the most dangerous kind because _____.
A. it can cause some serious diseases if not treated properly
B. it causes stress which helps stimulate the growth of fat cells
C. the very important chemical NPY will be cut off by it
D. chronic stress and obesity will gradually develop from it
D
Men have long been puzzled by the amount women pack, when they go on holiday. They despair as they watch their beloved spend much money on extra baggage charge. Nearly half of these women admitted to lying about the weight of their case to their partner before leaving for the airport, in fear of being made to unload some unnecessary items.
But it’s a fact that women pack more than they need. On average, a woman needs around 57 items in suitcase for a two-week holiday, yet most women pack nearer to 150 items, ranging from skirts, tops, underwear and high heels. In addition, women pack more sun cream, make-up and hair appliances than they are likely to need. They all take up space in the suitcase, only a third of them will see the light of day once at the holiday place.
79 percent of women admitted to taking extra items with them, with the reason for this being “just in case”. Women plan their holiday wardrobe months in advance. Packing enough clothes and other items to last a month is not enough for some women. They’d take a chance to shop for new items while holidaying abroad. So they’ll return with even more luggage in their cases.
Professor Karen Pine said, “Women are tempted to take familiar items with them on holiday, often everything except the kitchen sink. Some people find traveling stressful, particularly when they’re unsure about the home comforts available at their holiday place. They over-pack to help cope with those feelings of stress and reduce the uncertainty.”
This will come as no surprise to some men, who are used to trying to squeeze their partner’s luggage into the boot of the car with their own, smaller case. On the other hand, men pack very lightly, with only an average of 40 items for a two-week holiday.
32. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Women are good at picking holiday suitcase.
B. Women over-pack by two third when on holiday.
C. Women will go shopping every time they go on holiday.
D. Women take good care of themselves while holidaying.
33. What is a husband’s attitude towards packing too much according to the first paragraph?
A. Opposed. B. Supportive.
C. Positive. D. Concerned.
34. According to the author, most women pack too much on holiday because ________.
A. they want to show off their items
B. they prefer a more comfortable holiday
C. they are afraid they’ll need them during the holiday
D. they would like to clean their clothes wardrobe very much
35. What do Dr Pine’s words imply?
A. Going on holiday will cost a lot.
B. Women don’t prefer to go on a holiday.
C. People tend to feel tired and stressed on holiday.
D. It’s understandable that women over-pack in a sense.

It is common for children to feel like your parents are too reserved in letting you live your own lives. 36 , knowing how to deal with controlling parents will help you see your situation differently.

Take a break if problems continue. If things begin to go “right back to normal,” you may need to cut down on your time with your parents again.
