Nichlas rks is an American nvelist knwn fr his best-selling tales f rmance (浪漫) and heartbreak.
rks grew up mainly in nrth-central Califrnia, where his family mved when he was eight. He attended the University f Ntre Dame n a track schlarship, but an injury ended his athletic career and led him t write his first unpublished nvel. In 1988, he graduated with a majr in business and held a variety f jbs. In the early 1990s, he and his wife, Cathy Cte, settled in Nrth Carlina, which later prvided a setting fr his nvels.
While wrking his day jb, rks cntinued t write. He cperated with frmer Olympic runner Billy Mills n Wkini: A Lakta Jurney t Happiness and Self-Understanding. The bk, which was inspired by a Native American legend, was published in 1990. Determined t becme a prfessinal writer, rks spent several mnths wrking n The Ntebk, his first published nvel, which hit The New Yrk Times best-seller list immediately after it reached the public in 1996. By the time the film adaptatin (改编) was released in 2004, rks had published seven mre nvels.
Althugh rks’s fictin usually invlves lve stries, he rejects the suggestin that he is a “rmance nvelist”. His supprters agree that rks explres mre-serius subject matter, such as lneliness, sadness, and lss, and that many f his bks feature less-than-happy endings. That is als evident in his nly nnfictin wrk, Three Weeks with My Brther, in which he and his brther, Micah, share their wn emtinal respnses t the deaths f their parents and sister.
rks has devted much f his time and literary prfits t writing prgrams at Ntre Dame and t charitable causes, mst ntably the Nichlas rks Fundatin, which he and his wife established in 2011.
24. What led rks t write his first nvel?
A. A schlarship.B. His majr.
C. An accident.D. His marriage.
25. What d we knw abut The Ntebk?
A. It arrived in cinemas in 2004.

C. It was written by tw authrs.
D. It was rks’ nnfictin wrk.
26. Why isn’t rks a rmance nvelist?
A. He pays attentin t varius themes.
B. He prefers t recrd real events in lives.
C. His bks never end with happiness.
D. His stries have nthing t d with lve.
27. Which wrds can best describe rks?
A. Hnest and brave.B. Tugh and caring.

Yu knw that ld debate abut whether dgs are smarter than cats? Well, science nw has a definite answer. It’s dgs. That’s the cnclusin f an internatinal grup f researchers, wh fund that dgs have twice as many neurns (神经元) as cats. Neurns are cells that deal with infrmatin. And s, the mre neurns an animal has, the better its infrmatin prcessing capability, these scientists say.
The study was carried ut by researchers frm six universities in the US, Brazil, Denmark and Suth Africa. It’s ging t be published in the jurnal Frntiers in Neuranatmy. The research was dne in the lab f Suzana Herculan-Huzel, an assciate prfessr f psychlgy and bilgical sciences at Vanderbilt University.
Until recently, scientists interested in cmparing intelligence acrss species were limited t using brain size as a sign. “In 2005, my lab came up with a very simple, quick and inexpensive way t cunt the cells in brains and brain parts,” Herculan-Huzel said. What the researchers did was take sme brain matter and basically turn it int a sup. This freed up the cell nuclei (细胞核) s that the scientists culd cunt them directly under a micrscpe.
This is what they fund when they lked at the cerebral crtex f cats and dgs. The cerebral crtex is the part f the brain that prcesses infrmatin. A cat’s cerebral crtex has 250 millin neurns. A 15-pund mixed-breed (混合种) dg’s has 429 millin.
When they lked at a 64-pund glden retriever (猎犬), the number was even higher: 627 millin neurns. “S, it’s plausible t say that dgs have abut twice as many neurns as cats in their cerebral crtex,” she said. “And this means that dgs can d mre thinking things than cats.”
28. What des the authr imply abut the ld debate?
A. It had n clear result.B. It was meaningless.
C. It was easily slved.D.It was surprising
29. Why did the researchers turn sme brain matter int a sup?
A. T wake up neurns.B. T see neurns clearly.
C. T study brain grwth. D. T study crtex better.
30. What affects the neurn numbers f dgs?
A. Practice.B. Thinking.C. Weights.D. Lifestyles.
31. What des the underlined wrd mean in the last paragraph?
A. fearless.B. imprtant. C. surprising. D. reasnable.

But instead f talent and hard wrk, she shared that her supprt system made a big difference in landing her a medal at Paris 2024.
At the clse f the run sectin f the eight-wman final, Leal had failed t put dwn a single, clean line, lwering her hpe f a tp three finish. She knew the game wasn’t ver, but the already heavy stress n Leal’s shulders dubled in weight.
“After I screwed up the tw runs, I thught I was nt ging t be able t d it anymre.” Leal related her experience. It was then that she went and gt supprt. Her family was there, and her whle team was there. Having received a hug frm everyne and having heard very psitive and encuraging wrds, she came back 100 percent, even mre fcused. That was what changed the game right there.
Re-energized, the teenager finished the last sectin with her very best. And thugh the gld and silver were ut f her reach, she never backed dwn in the fight fr brnze. When the last skater wh culd vertake her failed the last run, Leal said she fell int a tn f feelings. “As sn as I realised that I was in third place, I brke dwn. My cach was there. We hugged each ther, and we cried tgether. And all I culd think was the mst psitive thughts in the wrld.”

Hw t Feel Better Abut the Way Yu Lk
If yu feel insecure abut the way yu lk, yu aren’t alne. 36 They can easily cntribute t feelings f insecurity. If yu wuld like t becme mre cnfident abut yur bdy and lks, there are steps yu can take t change hw yu think abut yur bdy.
Accept what yu dislike abut yur bdy while lving it verall. 37 It is nt realistic t expect yurself t lve everything abut yur bdy at all times. Learn t accept what yu d nt like withut fcusing n it. Be able t cmpartmentalize (隔开) t a degree by lving yur bdy verall, even when yu knw it’s imperfect.

Try t replace negative self talk with psitive self talk. 38
Prvide yur bdy with nurishment (营养). Many peple with lw self-esteem (自尊) try dieting r healthy eating as a means t change their bdies. 39 Think f healthy eating as a way f nurishing yur bdy instead f a way f frcing yur bdy t change.

F. Yu may feel unnatural at first, but it raises yur sense f self wrth in the lng run.
G. Eating right can help yu feel better abut yurself, but d s with the right attitude.

M: Listen, Chuck. Yu shuld study hard and try yur best in all yur subjects. That’s all yu can d. Let me tell yu a little stry abut my study when I was at yur age.
I was always gd at English, but terrible at maths and science. I used t find thse subjects bring. My teachers tld my mm and dad — yur grandparents that it was likely that I wuld fail in maths and science if I didn’t try my best. My parents were really angry. They stpped me frm seeing my friends and made me feel like I had let them dwn. I decided t put extra effrt int studying maths and science. I reduced time spent n English because I was already gd at that. My parents were really happy with my new attitude. Then came the day f the next exam. I gt high marks in science and maths. My parents were very satisfied with that. But I nly scred a “C” in English when I had always been expected t get an “A”!
What did I learn frm the lessn? Always try yur best at everything even areas yu think yu are gd at!
