It was an early blow to my self-confidence. I was attending my first group meeting in the tab as a postdoc ( 博士后 ), and I was pleased that I could follow most of the discussion. Then, in front of everyone, the professor turned to me and asked about my previous accomplishments. I froze. As a PhD student, I had achieved lots to be proud of. But all of those were in my home country of Brazil . Now I was in Washington , DC and I didn&39;t know what the word "accomplishment" meant. So all I could say was "I don&39;t know".
I had decided to do a postdoc abroad because I thought the training would help me secure a teaching position. I applied for and received a Brazilian government fellowship to spend 18 months working abroad and got a position in a lab. It all seemed so easy--until I actually started.
In a new country, I struggled. After the mortifying lab meeting incident, my confidence took another hit. The paper I intended to publish did not materialize. I used to be invited to give talks. Now, I was asked to speak more slowly because of my accent. My confidence was destroyed.
After months of self-doubt, I reminded myself that I had potential. I needed to do something to regain my confidence. I thought a change of environment might be what I needed. So I made the move.
In another new lab. I still felt insecure. However. I was determined to make the most of the time I had. There were more opportunities to interact with others, which forced me to talk more. It was awful at first, but with practice I began to feel more confident in my English. I proposed new projects. I began to receive positive feedback on my presentations.
My confidence is back. I feel a little like Wonder Woman. She was a strong soldier in her homeland. When she left. she experienced obstacles and failures only to become even stronger than before.
24. What was the author&39;s reaction when asked about her previous achievements?
A. She felt pleased. B. She kept silent.
C. She was at a loss. D. She felt proud.
25. Why did the author go abroad?
A. To apply for government fellowship. B. To get a doctor&39;s degree.
C. To build her own lab. D. To gain experience for a position.
26. What does the underlined word "mortifying" in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Interesting. B. Embarrassing.
C. Conventional. D. Important.
27. What can be the best title for the text?p分页标题e
A. A lab meeting incident hurt me.
B. I found my inside Wonder Woman.
C. My experience proved Brazilians&39; confidence.
D. My poor English made me lose an opportunity.

During Amsterdam’s chaotic rush hour, nine-year-old Lotta Crok cycles to a very busy junction. “Look,” she says. “There’s traffic coming from everywhere. Four trams from four different directions. For a child on a bike that’s really confusing!”
Lotta is the first junior cycle mayor in the world and her working area is the Dutch capital. You would think this challenge would be superfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of the world. The number of bicycles in Amsterdam is estimated at 881,000 – more than the city’s 850,000 inhabitants – and 63% of the population cycle daily.
But children who cycle in Amsterdam face challenges, Lotta says: “The three biggest problems for us are cars, cycling tourists and scooters ( 小型摩托 ). The cars take up too much space, the tourists are always swinging side to side and stop when you least expect it, and the scooters simply run you over.”
Lotta became junior cycle mayor in June last year when she won a contest in which schoolchildren were asked to come up with plans to make cycling safer and more fun. Her idea was to add children’s bikes to the popular bike share programme.
Since Lotta was appointed junior cycle mayor, she has been busy, giving interviews, opening cycling contests in the city and being a jury (评审员) member during the Amsterdam Light Parade, an event in which Amsterdammers decorate their bikes with lights.
She is now planning a meeting with the city’s mayor to discuss ideas that children have come up with: “One of our proposals is a bicycle park where children can learn how to cycle. Right now, most of us learn it in the street, which can be quite busy. Another idea is to create an app for tourists to teach them the rules of cycling, because most of them really don’t know.”
Following the success of the Amsterdam scheme, cycle mayors around the world are now planning to appoint junior colleagues. “They see it works really well,” Boerma, the senior major, says. “I talk to the parents, Lotta talks to the children. And if you look at the city through the eyes of a child, you will also make it accessible for others. A city that’s good for an eight-year-old is also good for an 88-year-old.”
2 8. Why is a junior cycle mayor appointed in Amsterdam?
A. To teach children how to ride.
B. To ensure cycling is safer for children.
C. To give suggestions to the city’s mayor on how to run the city.
D. To organize the cycling contests in the city.
2 9. Which word can best replace the underlined word “superfluous” in paragraph 2?
A. Important B. Unnecessary
C. Difficult D. Valuable
3 0. What has Lotta done since she became the bike mayor?
A. She has solved the three biggest problems for children cycling in Amsterdam.
p分页标题eB. She has won a contest about cycling.
C. She has given interviews and been a jury member during a parade.
D. She has given proposals to the city mayor.
3 1. What ’s Boerma’s attitude to the junior cycle mayor?
A. Cautious B. Favorable
C. Ambiguous D. Disapproving
D
The year 2019 will mark the 100 th anniversary of the deadliest influenza outbreak in history. It is estimated that the influenza pandemic( 瘟疫 ) of 1918 killed more than 50 million people around the world. Other estimates go much higher. Because of a lack of medical record—keeping, we may never know the exact number.
The influenza was a fast killer. Some victims died within hours of their first symptoms. Others died after a few days. “their lungs filled with liquid and they choked to death.” The 1918 flu pandemic was also different from other outbreaks. It struck many young, healthy people. Viruses usually affect sick or old people.
Although modern medicine effectively controls many diseases, influenza remains difficult to protect against. The World Health Organization estimates that every year influenza kills 250,000 to 500,000 people around the world. Each year, medical scientists develop flu vaccines( 疫苗 ) which offer immunity( 免疫 ) from some influenza viruses. But they can only guess which form of the virus will spread.
Health officials remain concerned about another flu pandemic. New forms of the flu virus appear regularly. One example was the “swine flu” or H1N1 outbreak in 2009. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases in the United States says that virus caused a true pandemic.
To stop the next pandemic, scientists are now researching how to create a universal influenza vaccine. In October 2019, Vanderbilt University Medical Center in the U. S. announced the Universal Influenza Vaccine Initiative. The university said researchers are leading an international effort to develop a universal influenza vaccine that will protect everyone against all forms of the flu anywhere in the world. The university added that researchers will begin tests in early 2019. the Human Vaccines Project, a public—private partnership, is funding the project. However, until a universal influenza vaccine is available, today’s seasonal flu vaccine remains important.
3 2. What do we know about the influenza in 1918?
A. It swept across the whole Europe.
B. No one survived the first few days.
C. It killed the largest number of people.
D. It struck only young and healthy people.
3 3. Why is influenza difficult to protect against?
A. It spreads too rapidly. B. It is quite easy to catch.
C. No vaccine is available. D. It’s hard to judge the form of virus.
3 4. What does the author want to tell by mentioning H1N 1 in 2009?
A. New forms of flu virus keeps appearing.
B. It was the most serious in recent years.
C. It was caused by the same flu virus of 1918.
D. The H1N1 virus was deadly as well.p分页标题e
3 5. What can we learn about the universal influenza vaccine?
A. The development is quite costly.
B. It will be used all over the world.
C. It can protect against all forms of flu.
D. It will soon come into use in 2019.

W: I know you do. I have hung a lot of your paintings up in the living room. I was also very shy, and I didn’t make friends very easily. Do you want to see some photos of me when I was little?
M: Yeah!
W: Here I am on Easter Sunday. Look at my silly hat! And here I am with the family dog, Buttons. He was so sweet. Oh, look, this is me with your mother when she was little. She looks just like you!
M: I think she looks like you.
W: She does look like me. I’m her mother, after all.
M: When did you meet me?
W: When you were born! I was at the hospital when your mother had you, and I was the third person to hold you. Your grandfather was the fourth. He would be very proud of you if he were still with us today. You’re a wonderful little boy.
