AWhen I asked my mother-in-law to select which meals she’d like me to order from the home-delivery menu, she only chose the ones her husband would like. This goes way beyond politeness. She is actually feeling uncomfortable voicing what she wants. She developed the main symptom （症状，表现）of Asker's Syndrome that one's unable to ask for what one wants.It's not just older women who have this problem. Asker's Syndrome can strike the young. I have single friends who won't ask a man out on a date because they fear being considered too " forward". My five-year-old daughter Violet is showing the early stage of Asker's Syndrome. She's learned that women don't ask, but rather drop hints. She'll say, "Remember last Sunday afternoon we went to the park？" rather than "Can we go to the park？"Apart from women and girls' problematic relationship with appetite, food and dating, it's widely reported that women are less likely than men to ask for pay rises and promotions. Instead, they withdraw, hoping that somebody else will decide they are worthy and make them promoted.No doubt, many women develop Asker's Syndrome as a defensive measure becausethey've been labeled as （被认为） rude for simply asking for what they want. But in the long term, choosing not to express our desires doesn't serve us well.It's time to cure ourselves and our girls of Asker's Syndrome. I don't want to raise a future "mother" who denies her wish for food, power and success and anything else. So I now insist that my daughter ask for what she wants directly.For women in our culture, asking is a skill that we need to learn and practice. And if we all do it, then women asking will become normal.21.The author's mother-in-law is mentioned in Paragraph 1 to_________ .A. introduce the old ladyB. set an exampleC. talk about her illnessD. lead in a topic22..Which is TRUE about Asker's Syndrome according to the passage？A.

It strikes only female victims as reported.23.The author holds the view that ____________ .A. others decide whether we are worthyB. choosing not to ask is a protective measureC. asking for what is wanted is rudeD. Asking for what you want is normal24.The passage is written to____________ .A. list symptoms of Asker's SyndromeB. encourage women to express their ideasC. explain the causes of refusing to askD. suggest ways to ask for moreBUniversity Room RegulationsApproved and Prohibited ItemsThe following items are approved for use in residential（住宿的） rooms：electric blankets, hair dryers, personal computers, radios, televisions and DVD players.

But the truth is, being successful is hard. And you won’t necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.That’s OK. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures. JK Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was rejected twelve times before it wasfinally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. But he once said, “I have failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”These people succeeded because they understand that you can’t let your failures define you----you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time. If you get in trouble, that doesn’t mean you’re a troublemaker. It means you need to try harder to behave. If you get a bad grade, that doesn’t mean you’re stupid. It just means you need to spend more time studyingNo one’s born being good at things. You become good at things through hard work. You don’t hit every note the first time you sing a song. You’ve got to practice. It’s the same with your schoolwork. You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right, or do a few drafts of a paper before it’s good enough to hand in.Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to admit when you don’t’know something, and to learn something new. So find an adult you trust and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.And even when you’re struggling, even when you’re discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you—don’t ever give up on yourself. The story of America isn’t about people who quit when things_____. It’s about people who kept going, who tried harder, and who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.29. In the second paragraph, the writer uses Michael Jordan’s words in order to show_____.A. all of those great people have failed many times before they are successful.B. failures absolutely lead you to one success after anotherC. it is not easy for people to become successfulD. it is impossible for great people to become successful without failures30.

Which of the following can be used as the title of the passage？A. Still waters fun deepB. No cross, no crownC. Practice makes perfectD. Spare the rod, spoil the child32. The writer holds the view that________.A. It is a good idea to turn to a reliable adult for help when in troubleB. To become a reality TV star, you have to go through a lot of hard workC. JK Rowling is not good at writing at allD. If you fail, you have to do your work differently next timeDScientists in Argentina have created the world’s first cow with two human genes that will enable it to produce human-like milk.Genet ic engineering was used to introduce the “mothers’milk” genes into the animal before birth, according to the National Institute of Agribusiness technology In Buenos Aires.As an adult the cloned （克隆）cow “will produce milk that is similar to humans” in what will prove “a development of great importance for the nutrition of infants（婴儿）”, said the institute. “The cloned cow, named Rosita ISA, is the first in the world with two human genes that contain the proteins present in human milk,” said the statement.In April, scientists in China published details of research showing that they had created dairy cows which produced milk containing proteins found in human breast milk. But the Argentine team said the Chinese only introduced one human gene while their research involved two, meaning the milk will more closely resemble that of humans.“Our goal was to raise the nutritional value of cows’ milk by adding two human genes, which does good to the immune system of infants,” said Adrian Mutto, from the National University of San Martin which worked with the institute.Cristina Kirchner, President of Argentina, said that the scientific institute made all Argentines proud. She also said that she had rejected the “honor” of having the cow named after her. “They c ame to tell me that the name is Cristina, but what woman would like to have a cow named after her？ It appeared to me to be more proper to call it Rosita.”33.
