When peple ask me hw I started writing, I find myself describing an urgent need that I felt t wrk with language. Having said that, I did nt knw fr a lng time what I was lking fr. It was nt until I fllwed this feeling t its surce that I discvered I had a passin fr writing. With sme encuragement frm my clleagues, I had ne f my pems published. This bit f success, hwever, was the pint where my prblem began.
Back in 1978, I had t travel between three different campuses in the mrning, teaching freshman cmpsitin. Afternns I spent taking my daughter t her ballet and hrse-riding lessns. I cmpsed my lectures n the way, and that was all the thinking time I had. When I returned hme, there was nt enugh f me left fr writing after a full wrking day.
As a way ut, I decided t get up tw hurs befre my usual time. My alarm was set fr 5:00 A.M. The first day I shut it ff because I had placed it within arm's reach. The secnd day I set tw clcks, ne n my night table, and ne ut in the hallway. I had t jump ut f bed and run t silence it befre my family was awken. This was when my mrning writing began.
Since that first mrning in 1978, I have been fllwing the habit t this day, nt making r accepting many excuses fr nt writing. I wrte my pems in this manner fr nearly ten years befre my first bk was published. When I decided t write a nvel, I divided my tw hurs: the first fr petry, the secnd fr fictin. Well r badly, I wrte at least tw pages a day. This is hw my nvel, The Line f the Sun. was finished. If I had waited t have the time, I wuld still be waiting t write my nvel.
What I gt ut f getting up in the dark t wrk is the feeling that I am in cntrl. Fr many peple, the initial sense f urgency t create easily dies away because it requires making the tugh decisin: taking the time t create, stealing it frm yurself if ifs the nly way.
24. What mtivated the authr t start her writing career?
A. Her strng wish t share.B. Her keen interest in writing.
C. Her urgent need t make a living.D. Her passinate desire fr fame.
25. Why did the authr place an alarm clck in the hallway?
A. In case the clck in her rm brke dwn.B. In case she failed t hear the ringing.
C. T frce herself ut f bed.D. T wake up her family.
26. Hw did the authr manage t finish her nvel?
A. By sticking t writing every mrning.B. By writing when her mind was mst active.
C. By drawing inspiratins frm classic nvels.D. By reducing her teaching hurs at schl.
27. What can we learn frm the authr's success in her writing career?
A. It is never t late t change yur jb.B. Imaginative ideas die away if nt taken in time.
C. A tight schedule is n excuse fr lack f actin.D. Daily life prvides ideas fr creative writing.

Our brains have an “aut-crrect” feature that we use when re-interpreting (重新解释) ambiguus sunds, accrding t new research. The study sheds light n hw the brain uses infrmatin gathered after the discvering f an initial sund t aid speech cmprehensin. The findings pint t new ways we use infrmatin and cntext t aid in speech cmprehensin.
“What a persn thinks they hear des nt always match the actual signals that reach the ear,” explains lead authr Laura Gwilliams. “This is because the brain re-evaluates the interpretatin f a speech sund at the mment each fllwing speech sund is heard in rder t update interpretatins as necessary,” Gwilliams says.
It’s well knwn that the perceptin f a speech sund is determined by its surrunding cntext — in the frm f wrds, sentences and ther speech sunds. This plays ut in everyday life — when we talk, the actual speech we prduce is ften ambiguus. Fr example, when a friend says she has a “dent (凹痕)” in her car, yu may hear “tent”. Althugh this kind f ambiguity happens regularly, we, as listeners, are hardly aware f it. “This is because the brain autmatically reslves the ambiguity fr us — it picks an interpretatin and that’s what we perceive t hear,” explains Gwilliams. “The way the brain des this is by using the surrunding cntext t narrw dwn the pssibilities f what the speaker may mean.”
In the study, the researchers sught t understand hw the brain uses this fllwing infrmatin t adjust ur perceptin f what we initially heard. T d this, they cnducted a series f experiments in which the subjects listened t islated syllables and similarly sunding wrds. Their results prduced three primary findings: The brain’s primary auditry crtex (听觉皮层) is sensitive t hw ambiguus a speech sund is at just 50 millisecnds after the sund’s appearance. The brain “replays” previus speech sunds while interpreting the fllwing nes, suggesting re-evaluatin as the rest f the wrd unflds. The brain makes cmmitments t its “best guess” f hw t interpret the signal after abut half a secnd.
32. What is the study mainly abut?
A. Why peple make unclear sunds.B. Hw brains understand unclear wrds.
C. Hw brains tell apart useful infrmatin.D. Why sme peple prcess infrmatin faster.
33. What des the authr want t shw by giving the example in paragraph 3?
A. It is nrmal fr peple t make unclear sunds.
B Peple are mre likely t mishear their friends.
C. Peple can understand thers even if they mishear a wrd.
D. Peple are likely t mistake a wrd fr smething familiar.
34. What d we knw abut the unclear wrds in the experiments?
A. They seemed t be useless.B. They were nticed instantly.
C. They led t misunderstanding.D. They stpped us thinking further.
35. What des the underlined part “the signal” in the last paragraph refer t?
A. The previus speech sund.B. The similarly sunding wrd.
C. The unclearly sunding wrd.D. The fllwing speech sund.
