The path t success isn’t always clear-cut. Julia Green knws this well. Just as she graduated frm cllege, a financial crisis swept the cuntry, making it hard t get a jb in jurnalism. Despite her grwing wrries, she didn’t give up n her dream; instead, she tried a glbal vlunteer prgram fr her self-grwth.
A year later, Green began taking randm writing jbs t make ends meet, while dreaming f a day when she culd write freely and be paid fr it.

“I’ve been writing since I was 22. This craft requires that yu have a tugh skin,” said Green, when asked abut her writing jurney. “As a writer, yu are nt well served by caring what ther peple think abut yu. Yu have t be emtinally prepared t face rejectin.”
In the past decade, Green, lacking many examples t mdel after, has achieved remarkable success thrugh great effrt. She landed regular writing psitins, had wrked in respected jurnals, made the Frbes 30 Under 30 list, and wrte a wrld-class bestseller. By any yung jurnalist’s definitin, Green had arrived.

Researchers at MIT created a high-tech pill that starts t vibrate (震动) nce it makes cntact with liquid in the user’s stmach and make him r her feel full. The pill was reprtedly thught up by Shriya Srinivasan, currently an assistant prfessr f biengineering at Harvard University.
VIBES, shrt fr Vibrating Ingestible BiEletrnic Stimulatr, was nly recently made public in a study published in the Science Jurnal, but it is already being annunced by the media as the future f weight lss. Althugh it has yet t be tested n humans, trials n pigs have achieved very hpeful results. After abut 30 minutes f VIBES activity, pigs cnsumed n average almst 40 percent less fd in the next half hur than they did withut the smart pill. Apparently, the revlutinary device wrks by activating stretch receptrs in the stmach, mdeling the presence f fd. This in turn signals the hypthalamus (下丘脑) t increase the levels f hrmnes that make us feel full. The vibrating stimulatr, which is abut the size f a vitamin pill, is pwered by an encased battery and activated either by the gastric fluid (胃液) breaking dwn a cat arund the pill, r by an incrprated timer. After prducing the desired effect, the pill exits the bdy with ther slid waste:
The gd news is that it is expected t have a cst in the cents t ne dllar range, and researchers say that it may eventually be pssible t implant the stimulatr and thus remve the need fr peple t cnstantly swallw it.
“Our study demnstrates the effectiveness f a lw-cst, nn-perative interventin t reduce fd intake and ca lrie cnsumptin. The device functins effectively in the stmach and leading t fullness,” said Givanni Travers, c-authr f the study. “The device has the ptential t revlutinize ptins fr weight lss treatment. Hwever, future studies will need t explre the physilgical effects f the device befre it’s available fr patients.”
Researchers are nw explring ways t scale up the prducing f VIBES capsules which culd enable clinical trials in humans.
8. What is the utcme f taking the pill?
A. Liquid prductin.B. Fd strage.
C. Sensatin f fullness.D. Recvery f users.
9. Which aspect f the device is mentined in paragraph 2?
A. Its wrking principle.B. Its intelligence.
C. Its testing histry.D. Its side effect.
10. What is the researchers’ ultimate gal f the device?
A. T prduce gastric fluid with it.B. T destry the cat arund it.
C. T fix it in human bdy.D. T remve slid waste frm it.
11. What is Givanni Travers’s attitude twards the future f the device?
A. Wrried.B. Cautius.C. Dubtful.D. Cnfused.

In many languages, the wrd fr “mther/mm” takes an m-sund. Is there any reasn fr such near-universality?
Linguists(语言学家) generally argue fr “the arbitrariness f the sign”: n cnnectin exists between the wrd dg and the furry quadruped. A rare exceptin is nmatpeia, where wrds representing the bark f a dg (bw-ww) and the buzz made by a bee are mre r less similar t the sund. Yet mst things are nt subject t naming this way.
What abut mama? It des nt sund like a mther, but the fact is that sme sunds are mre widespread than thers arund the wrld. There are many dzens f bserved cnsnants which are rare and hard fr nn-natives t learn.
In cntrast, a few—such as b, m, p, t, d and k—shw up far mre frequently, in nearly every spken language in the wrld. That is almst certainly because they are easy t make. A baby vcalising will, at first, make a vwel-like sund, usually smething like “ah”, which requires little in the way f cntrl ver the muth. If they briefly clse their muth and cntinue vcalising, air will cme ut f their nse, thus making the m-sund that is used in “mther” arund the wrld.
Thugh the “mamas” bear the mst bvius similarity, the “papas” have striking cmmnalities, t. Babies can easily stp their breath when they clse their lips (rather than ging n breathing thrugh the nse). This prduces a b-r a p-sund. It is surely fr this reasn that s many names fr “father” use these cnsnants: papa in English, abb in Arabic and baba in Mandarin. T-and d-sunds are similarly basic, invlving a simple tap f the tngue against the teeth: hence daddy, tatay (Tagalg) r tayta (Quechua).
Father and mther are, therefre, an ddity. F-is nt especially easy t utter(发音); th-sunds are even harder. English, Greek and Spanish are unusual in having them. Even Anglphne children may struggle with th-sunds when they are five, r lder still in many cases.
Anyway, it is hard t find linguistic universals amid the wrld’s dazzling variety.
12. What des the underlined wrd “quadruped” in Paragraph 2 mst prbably refer t?
A. PrnunciatinB. SundC. BeeD. Animal
13. “Mamas” and “papas” are used s universally because ________.
A. the sunds f the tw wrds sund alike
B. air will cme ut f baby’s muth directly
C. the sunds can be easily and naturally uttered
D. babies can cntinue their breath when clsing their lips
14. Accrding t the passage, which f the fllwing wrds might be the mst difficult t articulate?
A. Frthcming.B. Prgramme.C. Magnificent.D. Magazine.
15. What is the passage mainly abut?
A. Inspiratin frm babies’ smile and talks.
B. Linguists’ effrts t the research f sunds.
C. Cnnectin between the wrd mum and dad.
D. Reasns fr similar sunds in unrelated languages.
