Whether they are already household names or a hidden figure deserving more recognition, the following ladies changed the world with their enormous contributions.

Anna Bissell

Although it was her husband who invented the carpet-sweeping machine in 1876 and founded Bissell, Anna Bissell became the CEO of the company in 1889, making her the first female CEO in America. After her husband’s death, she traveled around the country selling sweepers and making deals with major retailers to carry the Bissell brand. Eventually, she took the brand international.

With a five-foot stature and a weight of only 92 pounds, Tabei broke stereotypes(刻板印象) about how a strong, athletic person could look.

Gertrude Ederle

The Queen of Waves, who happened to be deaf, was the first woman to swim across the English Channel.

Fighting through cold temperatures and strong tides, she clocked a time of 14 hours and 34 minutes.

Virginia Apgar

Generations of parents owe this American doctor a huge thank you, as she developed the Apgar Score, the first standardized system of tests to assess if newborn babies were healthy once they made their way from womb to world.

It can be hard to find joy and fulfillment in a job that feels meaningless. But when you do what you love for a living and know that you're making a difference, every day is filled with purpose.

Over the Veteran's Day break, Turlock High School English teacher Jared Jeffries visited a family where he overheard a relative, Uncle Will, told his 16-year-old niece that nobody loves their jobs and that we do the things that really matter after work. Jared couldn't disagree more. So Jared Jeffries shared his wise words on Facebook for anyone who needs a little inspiration this school year.

I've often called teaching the 'impossible job'--to do it perfectly is to understand the unique needs of about 30 different students in a 45-minute period and to meet those individual needs. Every new year is an opportunity to reflect and improve--to inch closer to the impossible task to teach every kid every day. I think that's why Uncle Will has no passion--his job is entirely too possible. The goals are too easily attainable and the risks too small and the rewards a reflection.

You will want to quit, at times, because your job is impossible. And because your job is impossible, at times, you will never want to quit. You can love your job. The excitement never has to wear off. The purpose of work is that you can do things that really matter.

Jared's message resonated(共鸣) with hundreds, many of whom are teachers themselves. The idea was clear: to find meaning in life, we must create it. And that comes from pushing ourselves to achieve the impossible because we'll never stop striving for greatness. Let’s all follow his lead and build passion and purpose in every single part of our lives.

24. What caused Jared Jeffries to post his wise words on Facebook?

A. His dissatisfaction with his job.

B. The confusion of a 16-year-old girl.

C. His opposition to Uncle Will's opinion.

D. The appeal from someone who needs encouragement.

25. Why does Uncle Will have no passion?

A. Because his job is not possible.             B. Because his job is not attainable.

C. Because his job is too easy.                D. Because his job is too risky.

26. Which of the following can best describe Jared Jeffries?

A. Inspiring.       B. Considerate.      C. Determined.      D. Stubborn.

27. What is the author's purpose of writing the text?

A. To call on students to be teachers.

B. To inspire people to be passionate.

C. To tell people Jared's work experience.

D. To recommend ways to guarantee success to people.

Frank, the creator of AirPhones, said in his biography, "I’m a real music fan, but I was fed up of buying earphones and their bad performance. I decided to create my own brand. This is how I came up with AirPhones. So after graduation, the first thing I did was to find a team of professionals. In no time, we were able to secure funding for the project. Our success comes from the enthusiasm we have for the product and working hard to make it a reality.”

First appearing in 2016, wireless earphone technology has deeply changed how we listen to music. Wireless earphones are multi-functional; users can not only make and receive calls, but also listen to and share music with friends. AirPhones has improved the product by introducing its latest creation: high quality wireless earphones built with technology previously unknown in the world of sound. With thousands of Americans already convinced, AirPhones have created the first sound revolution of the year 2019.

These Bluetooth earphones with their ergonomic(人体工学)design give extreme wear-ability and comfort. Once in your ears, they stay there. You can take part in intense activities like running, climbing, camping or horse-riding without the slightest worry that your earphones are going to slip out, but the wireless earphones made in 2016 did the opposite.

The stars of the tech industry, such as Huawei, Samsung, Apple, etc., are compatible(兼容)on both Android and iOS. Wireless earphones are universally compatible with all of them. They have exceptional battery life, with more than 8 hours of performance when fully-charged.

Recognized by even the most demanding tech-lovers, these high quality wireless earphones are selling out fast. Production of them has been increased ten times to respond to the explosive demand, according to the AirPhones spokesperson.

28. What made Frank produce AirPhones?

A. He had dissatisfying listening experiences.

B. He couldn't afford wireless earphones then.

C. He formed a professional team of his own.

D. He raised much money for the AirPhones.

29. What was the problem with wireless earphones in 2016?

A. Users could only make outgoing calls.

B. They were easy to fall out of users' ears.

C. Their battery life was not long enough.

D. The sound quality from them was poor.

Nicole Eisenberg's older son has wanted to be a star of the stage since he was a kid. He took voice, dance and drama lessons and attended the well-known Stagedoor Manor summer camp for half a dozen years. "I had to take him on 20 auditions(试演) for musical theater. But he did it with me. I did not helicopter parent him. I was a co-pilot. "Ms Eisenberg said.

Helicopter parenting is a term that became popular in the 1980s and grew out of fear about children's physical safety. It is the practice of hovering anxiously near one's children, monitoring their every activity. In the 1990s, it meant not just constantly monitoring children, but also always teaching them.

Or was she a snowplow parent? Snowplow parenting is an even more obsessive(强迫性的) form, which keeps their children's futures obstacle-free, so they don't have to come across failure, frustration or lose opportunities.

It's a parent's job to support the children, and to use their adult wisdom to prepare for the future when their children aren't mature enough to do so. It's painful for any parent to watch their child mess up, or not achieve their goals. Now, however, the stakes(赌注，风险) are so much higher.“ Increasingly, it appears any mistake could be very serious for their class outcome, " said Philip Cohen, a sociologist at the University of Maryland.

"The point is to prepare the kid for the road, instead of preparing the road for the kid." Ms Lythcott-Haims said. “You have made a role for yourself of always being there to handle things for your child, so it gets worse because your children are ill-equipped to manage the basic tasks of life.” Learning to solve problems, take risks and overcome frustration are important life skills.

However, snowplowing has gone so far that many young people are in crisis, lacking these problem-solving skills and experiencing anxiety. Many snowplow parents know it's problematic, too. But because of privilege or peer pressure or anxiety about their children's futures, they do it anyway.

32. What do helicopter parents and snowplow parents have in common?

A. They teach their children everything.

B. They do nothing for their children.

C They fix their eyes on their children.

D. They care too much about their children.

33. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined part in Paragraph 4?

A. A thousand miles begins with a single step.

B. All things are difficult before they are easy.

C. Good company on the road is the shortest cut.

D. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

34. What is the most important effect of snowplowing on children?

A. The shortage of problem-solving ability.     B. The satisfaction of learning.

C. The decrease of their anxiety.              D. The pressure from their friends.

35. What is the best title for the text?

A. Snowplow Parents and Their Children.      B. Parents Rob Children of their growth.

C. Parents Prepare for Children's Future.       D. Parents Develop Problem-solving Skills.
