A
It was the men's skating finals of the Winter Olympics when I was 16. Someday I'd be inthe Olympics. In fact, it was my dream.
That night I lay on our living room floor excitedly watching the battle between theBrians: American Brian Boitano facing Brian Orser in Canada. Both of them had been worldchampions. Both of them deserved to win. Naturally I was for Brian Boitano,a northernCalifornian like me. We had skated on the same ice. I held my breath in amazement. Boitanoperformed successfully. The gold medal! I jumped in the air when his score went up.
But what happened next is what I'll never forget. Brian Boitano sat in front of the camerawith his coach, surrounded by a group of journalists. He was talking about his career and hismedal, talking to the whole world. A terrible sinking feeling went through me. I could neverbe in the Olympics, I thought. I could not talk in public like that. Just the idea of a pressconference terrified me.
I loved skating partly because I didn't have to talk. I could express myself with my jumpsand dances better. I didn't have to stand up and give a speech like some teachers expected. Icould feel the blood rush to my face if I thought a teacher was going to call me. I stared at myshoes. I was sure I'd make a fool of myself.
The next day l was at the rink（溜冰场）as usual. I was practising a combination of jumpsthat had once seemed impossible. 1 worked very hard the next few years - on the ice andespecially off. After journalists talked to me and although my heart pounded every time Ispoke to them, I got to know them. They became familiar faces. And they got to know me.So when my big moment came four years after Brian's, I was ready.
Sometimes I think my biggest accomplishment was not winning the gold but talking to thepress afterwards. When you do the thing you fear most, you put an end to fear.
Fear can stop you dead in your tracks. Fear can kill a dream. What are you afraid of?What scares you more than anything else? This year, walk right up to it and conquer it, stepby step.

No.5, Keisha Whitaker. I'm still loving yellow.
No.4, Witherspoon seems to be making Best Dressed lists for every event she attends thisseason.
No.3, Nicole Kidman looked amazing. And honestly, she would have been higher on mylist if her dress hadn't had that bow(蝴蝶结 ) thing off to the side that depending on the angleshe was standing at, looked like a pirate parrot sitting on her shoulder.
No.2, Cate Blanchett, Armani, simple, yet not boring. And I love the gun metal greycolor.

No.2, Kelly Preston wearing Dolce &. Gabbana leopard print. I'm sorry, it's the leopardprint. I can't handle it. And nice hair.
And the No. 1 Worst Dressed star at this year's Academy Awards was Jessica Biel. At theOscars, hot pink and a belt can make anyone look tacky. And then you just end up lookinglike an 80's pop star in a room otherwise full of princesses and one tiny layer cake.

Scientists are debating how to limit their newly-discovered power to change geneticstructure. Scientists already modify the genes of farm animals and agricultural plants to makethem more productive or stronger. But now they can also change genes in wild animals andplants. These genes would continue into later generations. For example, it may be possiblefor scientists to remove from existence the kind of mosquitoes that carry the Zika virus. Theymight also be able to permanently remove species of plants and animals that are destructive toother species.
In a report published last week, the U. S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineeringand Medicine (NAS) said it supports continued research on this kind of gene control. But itwarned that it is not possible to know what will happen when these changed plants andanimals are released into the wild.
Sixteen biologists, ethicists(伦理学家) and policymakers are on an NAS committee thatis examining the issue. They say that there is value to the new technology. But, they say,there is not enough evidence to support the release of modified organisms (生物体) from thelaboratory into nature.
Many people would support stopping mosquitoes and rats from carrying diseases. Butscientists say we must understand the possible scientific, ethical, legal and social results ofsuch action before we decide whether to take it. Gene modification is spread throughreproduction(繁殖).
Changed genes will continue to spread as long as an animal or plant continues to
reproduce. They cannot be limited to a farm or kept within a country's borders. Scientists arewondering what may happen if a modified organism mates with another species. They are notyet sure how the modified genes would affect the other species. It is possible that those genescould harm those creatures or even lead to their disappearance from our planet.
32. What possible advantage does gene control in wild animals and plants have?
A. Changing the Zika virus permanently.
B. Removing the destructive species for ever.
C. Having changed genes in their next generations.
D. Making all the species more productive and stronger.
33. As for genetically changed wild animals and plants ,what are scientists worried about?
A. They may become weaker or die out.
B. They may be more productive.
C. They may cause damage to their living habitat.
D. Their genes may spread to later generations.
34. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Scientists are not sure what exact results gene modification leads to.
B. Scientists won't modify any genes before they make the final decision.
C. Gene modification has benefited some farm animals and agricultural plants.
D. Scientists have not applied gene modification to wild animals and plants in case ofpossible danger.
35. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Stop research on gene control
B. How to change genetic structure
C. Power and danger of gene control
D. Advantages of gene control in wild animals and plants

Speaking is not equal to learning
1. You don't need to study grammar too much.
The first suggestion may sound strange to many students who begin to learn English, but it is exactly important. 36 However, if you want to speak fluently, you should try tospeak English without thinking too much of grammar. Studying grammar will only slow youdown and make you hesitate. You will think about the grammar rules instead of naturallysaying a sentence like a native.
2. You can't translate every word.
When you try to speak English, you do not need to translate every word from your mother tongue. 37 Another problem you may meet is that you will misuse grammar rules that you have learned in your mother language.
3. 38
The reason why many people can learn well is that they often practise. But in order tospeak English fluently, you need to practise speaking. When you study, don't just listen.Speak out loud the material you are listening to and practise what you hear. Practise speakingout loud until your mouth and brain can do it without any effort. 39
4. You should study correct material.
A phrase you often hear is, "Practice makes perfect." This is not completely true.
Practice only makes what you are practising permanent.If you practise the incorrect sentence,you will have perfected saying the sentence incorrectly.40
A. You should try to speak fluently.
B. You need to practise speaking what you hear.
C. By doing so, you will be able to speak English fluently.
D. If you want to pass examinations, you should study grammar well.
E. If you listen more, you can speak correctly and fluently sooner or later.
F. Therefore, it is important that you study material that is commonly used by mostpeople.
G. The order of words is probably completely different and you may be both slow and incorrect by doing this.
