Fr mst peple, graduatin is an exciting day the celebratin f years f hard wrk. My graduatin day... was nt.
I remember that weekend tw years ag. Family and friends had flwn in frm acrss the cuntry t watch ur class walk acrss that stage. But like everyne else in my graduating class, I had watched the ecnmy turn frm bad t wrse.

And the due date t begin paying back my student lans was creeping ever clser.
Yu knw that feeling when yu wake up and yu are just cnsumed with fear? Fear abut smething yu can’t cntrl—that sense f appraching failure that remains ver yu as yu hpe that everything that happened t yu thus far was just a bad dream? That feeling became a cnstant in my life. And the mst frustrating part was n matter hw much 1 tried, 1 just culdn’t seem t make any prgress.

The mral f this stry is... dn’t give up. Even if things lk bleak nw, dn’t give up. Things change If yu wrk hard, give it time, and dn’t give up, things will always get better Oftentimes all we need is the curage t push beynd the river.

Awe is generally defined as the sense that yu are in the presence f smething larger and mre cnsequential than yurself. Accrding t a study called “awe walks”, peple wh tk a fresh lk at the wrld arund them during brief, weekly walks felt mre upbeat and hpeful in general than walkers wh did nt. Feeling a sense f awe als seems t up ur verall feelings f gladness and imprve health.
Previus studies have linked increased physical activity t greater happiness and reduced risks fr anxiety, depressin and ther mental illnesses. But n studies had lked int whether mixing awe and activity might increase the benefits f r, n the ther hand, reduce them. S, fr the new study, scientists cncentrated n peple in their 60s, 70s and 80s, an age when sme peple can face risks fr declining mental health.
The scientists asked 52 study vlunteers t add a weekly 15-minute walk t their nrmal schedules. All f them were physically healthy and psychlgically well-adjusted, with little anxiety r depressin. Then they were randmly divided int tw grups. One, as a cntrl grup, was asked t start walking, preferably utside, but given few ther requirements. The ther grup was nt nly asked t walk nce a week, but als were instructed in hw t cultivate awe as they walked. “Basically, we tld them t try t g and walk smewhere new, since nvelty helps t cultivate awe,” says Virginia Sturm, an assciate prfessr wh led the new study.
Bth grups were asked t take a few selfies (自拍) during their walks and uplad them t a lab website and als cmplete a daily nline assessment f their current md. After eight weeks, the scientists cmpared the grups’ respnses and phts. Nt surprisingly, the awe walkers felt happier, less upset and mre scially cnnected than the cntrl grup members.
The findings are subjective, thugh, since awe, like ther emtins, is difficult t quantify, but Dr. Sturm thinks awe walks culd be a simple thing fr small wnders withut any dwnside.
8. What makes the new study different frm the previus nes?

A. The vlunteers were suffering mental diseases.
B. Only the cntrl grup practiced weekly walks.
C. The study vlunteers were divided by age.
D. Nvelty can prduce awe feelings.
10. Why are the findings regarded subjective?
A. The number f vlunteers is small.
B. The awe emtin is hard t measure.
C. The daily assessments are difficult t cmplete.
D. The perid f the experiment isn’t lng enugh.
11. What is the attitude f Dr. Sturm t “awe walks”?
A. Skeptical. B. Supprtive. C. Indifferent. D. Critical.

Celebrity has becme ne f the mst imprtant representatives f ppular culture. Fans used t be crazy abut a specific film, but nw the public tends t base its cnsumptin n the interest f celebrity attached t any given prduct. Besides, fashin magazines have almst abandned the practice f putting mdels n the cver because they dn’t sell nearly as well as famus faces. As a result, celebrities have realized their unbelievably pwerful market ptential, mving frm advertising fr thers’ prducts t develping their wn.

And nce the initial attentin dies dwn, cnsumer interest might fade, lyalty (忠诚) returning t tried-and-true labels.
Tday, celebrities face even mre severe embarrassment. The pp-cultural circle might be bigger than ever, but its rate f turnver has speeded up as well. Each misstep threatens t reduce a celebrity’s shelf life, and the same newspaper r magazine that nce brught him fame has n prblem picking him t pieces when the pprtunity appears. Still, the eg’s ptential fr expansin is limitless. Having already achieved great wealth and public recgnitin, many celebrities see fashin as the next frntier t be cnquered. As the saying ges, success and failure always g hand in hand. Their success as designers might last nly a shrt time, but fashin - like celebrity - has always been temprary.
12. Fashin magazines tday ________.

Lungs nearly bursting, I struggled t lift my head ut f the water. Inch by inch, my tired bdy reached fr the end f the pl.
The extent f my swimming career was purely recreatinal, while the cmpetitive swimmer nearby thught nthing f the seemingly simple task f a 500-meter swim test. Pushing myself t finish what I had started, I culd nly think: why nt take the easy way ut?
Earlier that week, I had turned in my first jb applicatin at a lcal pl. Overqualified, I was hired n the spt. Hwever, the tasks were bring: helping cnfused visitrs and measuring the height f children befre they went dwn the slide, thse srts f things. I was capable f mre.
S a swim test was required, establishing the mere fact that I was nt cmpletely helpless in a pl. Midway thrugh, the manager administrating the test remarked, “ This lks really easy fr yu. Why aren’t yu applying t becme a guard?”
“The thught hadn’t crssed my mind.”
“Well, lifeguarding demands mre respnsibility, strength and respect. Thus the psitin pays $2 mre per hur. Yur swimming skills are strng enugh. All yu need t d is cmplete a certificatin class.”
Inside I was unsure f myself, but his wrds inspired me-- Yu never knw what yu are capable f until yu frce yurself t d it.
Sn I passed the swim test. All left was t practice and learn first aid, CPR and prcedures fr different land and water-based emergencies.
Wrk started sn. A well-intentined yet anxius feeling in me sn passed. Days, weeks, and mnths went by withut incident; emergencies were rare. The skills and training I had s carefully studied and acquired seemed unnecessary.
Tday appeared t be anther uneventful day. Hwever shrtly after the ther guards signaled t the children t exit the pl, I nticed ne by was still in the middle while the thers had climbed up.
