Play it safe. Don’t take risks. High school is too early to make a difference. None of these criticisms were enough to stop me. I saw a real problem in the education system, and I wanted to deal with it. Some people pay over $70 an hour for private tutoring. My company charges less. I started my business only about four months ago, but I already have 11 tutors and make over $200 in revenue (收益) a week.

It started when someone contacted me and asked me to tutor her child for $15 an hour once a week. Friends began to take notice, and asked me where I got the part-time job — and that was when my eyes opened to the opportunity in front of me. I created a website, wrote a marketing plan and found qualified tutors who were friends of mine. We received an overwhelming response, with over 30 people requesting tutoring. As it progressed, I found my business knowledge limited. So I went to used book sales where I picked up lots of business textbooks.

The road to a successful business, however, was not easy. My partner didn’t respond to many of the people, so many potential clients were lost. Once I discovered what my partner was hiding from me, I immediately messaged each person personally saying I would get back to them soon, and I pointed them to our website. After a few weeks, word from mouth began to spread. Clients began coming to us, and we no longer had to advertise heavily.

You may be wondering why I started a business in the first place. It is a great way to show leadership experience, make money for yourself, and give you the opportunity to employ your classmates. While it is one of the riskiest things you can do, it is one of the most rewarding things. Leadership is one of the main qualities colleges look for, and the bravery and experience you show through starting a business shines through on applications.

American psychologist and writer Andrew Solomon won the 2014 Wellcome Book Prize on Tuesday for his Far from the Tree: a Dozen Kinds of Love about raising unusual children ranging from talents to those suffering from autism (自闭症) and reading disability.

The prize, which is given to a book centred on medicine and health, is in its fifth year and carries a 30,000-pound cash award. Solomon’s book, 10 years in the making, is described as a “monumental work”. Using interviews with more than 300 families, the book covers subjects of many different kinds of children.

“Solomon has already been widely praised for his depth of research, his writerly gift and his range of words,” poet and writer Andrew Motion, the head of the judging group, said in the statement, adding that the book is “a profound reflection on the family and on the influence of medicine and science”. “It’s also a book that is driven powerfully by an appeal to personal experience－by his exploration of the difficulties and opportunities this created for him.” Motion said.

Solomon said he was honoured and congratulated the Wellcome Book Prize for choosing a work that deals with some of the difficult issues of medical and social progress. “There sometimes seems to be an opposition between the social progress that allows us to accept the range of human difference and the medical progress that allows us to cure and get rid of many such differences.” Solomon said. “My book is about the extraordinary stories of love and pity. For such a work to be recognized by a prize that is specially focused on medicine and health indicates the increasing openness to the questions of what makes up health, and what the proper limits are for medicine.”

8. The book Far from the Tree:a Dozen kinds of Love by American Andrew Solomon is about ______.

A. raising unusual children who suffered from disabilities

B. unusual children who were abandoned by their parents

C. raising different kinds of unusual children including talents

D. Wellcome Book Prize which focuses on medicine and health

9. What can be concluded according to Paragraph 2?

A. It has taken Solomon five years to get the prize.

B. Solomon wrote the book by interviewing about 300 children.

C. It took Solomon 10 years to finish the book.

D. Solomon got 30,000 pounds by cheque after getting the prize.

10. From what Andrew Motion said we know that Andrew Solomon’s book ______.

A. reflects the family and the influence of society

B. shows his depth of research and his writing ability

C. is widely praised for the subjects of his research

D. is about his personal experience and his exploration

11. What is the opinion of Andrew Solomon about his award-winning book?

A. The society is becoming more open to the social problems.

B. He thought his book dealt with medical matters.

C. The stories of love and pity in the book attracted readers.

D. He found his book was not as great as the prize showed.

D

Perhaps you’ve had to put up with a moody, uncooperative teenager, or you may well have been one yourself. A new study suggests that dogs go through a similar stage of stubbornness and disobedience (不顺从) when they hit adolescence at about eight months old.

Looking at the behaviour of a total of 378 canines (犬), researchers found that the animals were more obedient and more responsive either side of that eight-month mark— but only when it came to their owners, not to less familiar trainers.

So not only do dogs appear to have a difficult adolescence just like we do, they also share the frustration that we often feel towards our parents or caregivers when we hit our teenage years. That has big implications for long-term canine care and sheltering.

“This is a very important time in a dog’s life,” says animal behaviour researcher Lucy Asher, from Newcastle University in the UK. “This is when dogs are often rehomed because they are no longer a cute little puppy and suddenly, their owners find they are more challenging and they can no longer control them or train them.” “But as with human teenage children, owners need to be aware that their dog is going through a special stage and it will pass.”

In one experiment with 93 Labrador retrievers (狗), golden retrievers and their cross breeds (杂交品种), the dogs at eight months old were found to take longer and be loather to respond to a “sit” command given by their caregiver than they were when just five months old. The eight- month-olds didn’t show the same stubbornness when the command was given by a stranger, though.

The researchers found further evidence of this effect in survey data gathered on 285 Labradors, golden retrievers, German shepherds and their cross breeds. Dog owners and trainers less familiar with the dogs were asked to evaluate the animals ‘trainability’ by answering questions on obedience and how quickly commands were responded to.

Again, the caregivers ranked their dogs as less obedient at eight months old compared with five months old or 12 months old. The trainers reported that obedience increased between the ages of five months and eight months.

12. What is the function of the first sentence in the first paragraph?

A. To raise a problem of teenagers.

B. To lead to the main topic of the passage.

C. To give the background information of the passage.

D. To generalize the whole passage.

13. What is true according to the passage?

A. Dog’s special stage is permanent.

B. Dogs are more obedient at 5 months old compared with 12 months old.

C. Dogs of 8 months tend to listen to a stranger only.

D. Dogs’ owners may find it more challenging to control the dogs of 8 months.

14. Which one can replace the underlined word in the fifth paragraph?

A. more obedient B. more likely

C. more satisfied D. more unwilling

15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Dog’s obedience. B. Dog’s stubbornness.

C. Dog’s adolescence. D. Dog’s trainability.

Vilma Washington was a nurse in Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital in Palo Alto, California. She has worked there for twenty-eight years. Since she came to the hospital, she has helped tens of thousands of premature babies come to the world.

Mrs. Washington was a mother of four children and had a happy family. Her husband was an engineer and worked in a big company. The only child at home was Mikel, who was in his high school. Every day, Mrs. Washington would get up at six, cook for breakfast for her husband and son, and then drive the baby to school before she went to work.

Her husband got good salaries and the family didn’t need her to earn money. But she still kept her work as a nurse, because she liked the work very much. She was a senior nurse in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (新生儿特护中心) to care for premature babies and was respected by all the doctors and nurses in the hospital. Patients, as well as doctors and nurses, came and left from the hospital, but she continued to work in the same hospital and even the same unit. Since it was one of the best children’s hospitals in the area, there were always more than enough patients. The work in the unit was naturally tough. Once you got into the nurse station, it was hard to find a chance to put yourself in a chair.

But Mrs. Washington never complained about the job. Instead she enjoyed it, “I enjoyed the moment when a baby comes to the world with my help,” she said. “I like to see the happy and excited expressions on the parents’ faces and hear the beautiful first cry of a baby.” All the patients liked her. Every Christmas, she could receive countless cards, most of which were from her patients.

This Monday, a new doctor came to work in her unit of the hospital. He was a handsome young man. When Mrs. Washington saw the name on his name tag－Brandon Seminatore, something suddenly hit her.

“Do you live in Handwood Street and your father is a bus driver?” she asked.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

He told his parents about Mrs. Washington after going home that day.
