Jennifer 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(学士) degree.
Jennifer 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. Jennifer 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) a lot 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 animportant lesson, witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family—and that's pretty powerful.

Humans are the only creature that gets around by standing up and putting one foot in front of the other. Our ability to walk upright has allowed humankind to travel great distances and survive changing climates, environments and landscapes.
Countless scientific studies have found that walking is really good for us and this simple act can provide a number of healthimplications, which help people live longer. In fact, a walking routine, if done properly, might be the only exercise people need.
How much walking should one aim for? You’ve likely heard we need 10,000 steps a day. That’s about 5 miles. But contrary to popular belief, this recommendation doesn’t come from science. Instead, itis from a 1960s advertising campaign to promote a pedometer (计步器) in Japan. Perhaps because it’s a round number and easy to remember, it stuck.
Since the 1960s, researchers have studied the 10,000-steps-a-day standard and have turned up mixed results. Although 10,000 steps is certainly a healthy and worthwhile goal, it’s not fit for all.
For instance, a recent Harvard University study involving more than 16,000 senior women found that those who got at least 4,400 steps a day greatly reduced their risk of dying early when compared with less active women. The study also noted that these benefits continued up to 7,500 steps. This 7,500 mark isn’t surprising: It’s similar to common public health recommendations, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate (适度的) physical activity a week for adults.
8. What does the underlined word “implications” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Benefits
B. Problems.
C. Habits.
D. Manners.
9. Where does the 10,000-steps-a-day standard come from?
A. A Harvard University study.
B. Science research on health.
C. A pedometer advertisement.
D. Public health recommendation.
10. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. 7,500-steps-a-day standard is the best choice for all.
B. More than 16,000 old people were involved in the study.
C. Those who walk at least 4,400 steps a day won’t die early.
D. 150-minute moderate exercise a week for adults is advised.
11. What does the author mainly want to tell readers?
A. The more you walk a day, the healthier you will be.
B. We can benefit from continuous and proper walking.
C. Walking upright helps humankind to explore the world.
D. Advertisements can always tell us some scientific suggestions .
D
You don't generally expect to put yourself in the public eye whenyou go on vacation. However when a British couple, Jessica and Edward, flew to Crete, they found themselves attracting a lot of attention after coming across a large sum of money in the street.
At first, their Crete vacation hadn't been anything outside of the norm. However, it was as they were exploring the souvenir shops that everything changed. The couple were just walking down the street when Jessica suddenly kicked something lying on the ground. It looked a bit like a make-up bag and so they assumed that someone had lost it.
Without hesitation, Jessica picked up the bag and opened it. She was shocked to see a lot of money in it-a total of 7,100 Euros. There was probably a lot they could do with all that money. However, the couple didn't have it in them to steal what belonged to someone else. Going to the police was the first thought that came to mind when Jessica saw the money. She didn't consider that there was any other choice, so the couple handed over the money to the local police.
The police found the owner, an elderly woman, and informed the couple that the woman wanted to meet them. When they eventually met at the police station, the woman was so overcome with emotion that she wouldn't stop hugging and blessing them, although they insisted they were just doing the right thing.
News of what the couple had done quickly made its way around the island. The locals wanted to show them their gratitude. This included receiving free taxi rides and even an offer to have their hotel room upgraded. The
couple appreciated the kindness, but it was all getting to be a bit too much. They just wanted to have a normal vacation.
They are probably hoping that they fly a little more under the radar during their next vacation. There's only so much attention that these two lovebirds can handle.
12. What is the first reaction of the couple after finding the money?
A. They decided to do all with that money.
B. They bought something in souvenir shops.
C. They turned it over to the local police station.
D. They tried to look for the owner by themselves.
13. Which o£ the following can best describe the locals in Crete?
A. Polite and hard-working.
B. Kind and grateful.
C. Sociable and honest.
D. Rich and determined.
14. Why do the couple hope to “fly a little more under the radar" in the last paragraph?
A. They want to take fewer flights.
B. They can't handle more radars.
C. They hope to gain less attention.
D. They don't have more money.
15. What can we learn from the text?
A. Good things come to kind people.
B. The early bird catchesthe worm.
C. Behind bad luck conies good luck.
D. Money is too much for strangers.
