But I also want you to understand that a dream itself comes from hard work, some
12、 good luck and good timing. Girls, here are some words of wisdom as you make your way in the world. Firstly, be open-minded to changing your path along the way. In high school, I wanted to be a politician. I left my hometown and went off to college in Washington, DCThere, I discovered that I loved t
13、o support women. It taught me that Im creative, a strong leader and great at marketing. As a result, I moved on to be the head of a national healthcare nonprofit（非营利机构）.Becoming a mother while in that job opened my mind to launching a breast pump bag business. Now I run a highly successful company t
14、hat I started up on my own. In my opinion, you need to figure out what you are good at and what you are passionate about. Keep an open mind: the initial path you choose may lead you into other areas. Dont waste your money or time, but you can change what you are doing based on what you are learning
15、about yourself. Secondly and more importantly, remember that failure is vital to your success. I wont tell you to feel good about failure. Failure can be heartbreaking. But I will tell you that every failure Ive had along the way absolutely made me better. Failing the math exam in high school and go
16、ing to summer school was embarrassing but Ive never failed an exam again. Being deprived(剥夺) of the job for a significant job opportunity that I was more than qualified for because of unfair assumptions hurt me but I went out and got a big job at a national organization at age 27. Its okay to get an
17、gry! Take that and turn it into positive action. Im proud to be a role model to you as a mom and an entrepreneur(企业家). I hope I inspire you to believe that you can be anything you want and you can have anything on your list. It will be my pleasure to watch your lives unfold before my eyes. Love,Your

Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic from discarded (丢弃的) plastic bottles, bags and containers that end up in rivers, lakes and oceans.
21、 Because they are so tiny and hard to see, researchers set sail to collect water samples and estimate the amount of plastic in the ocean. The 5 Gyres Institute, an organization aimed at reducing plastics pollution in our oceans, estimates that 296,000 tons of plastic are floating in the worlds ocean
22、s. But, if you think that oceans are the only water bodies with a micropiastics problem, think again - the problem is also reported in the Chesapeake Bay, in our own backyard.In a partnership with the 5 Gyres Institute, Trash Free Maryland took to the Chesapeake Bay in November to study the presence
23、 of micropiastics in the water. Setting out from Deale, Md., the research team collected seven samples by dragging a trawl (拖网) for an hour at a time. The trawl was fitted with a cone-shaped (锥形的) net, whose holes measure 330 microns (微米) wide, about the width of two to three strands of human hair.
24、Water flows through the main opening and the fine mesh (网眼) of net ensures anything suspended m the water is trapped behind.In seven samples, the net picked up algae (海藻) trash, foam and plastic. According to the 5 Gyres Institute representative, the first sample collected contained almost 10 times
25、the amount of plastic than would be collected in a typical ocean sample. The plastic found in the Chesapeake Bay samples included bits of bags, sheeting, fishing line and microbeads, which are small plastic scrubbers mm found in face wash, toothpaste and cleaning products. Microbeads in particular a
26、re a major source of microplastics pollution worldwide. They are small enough to bypass water treatment systems filters (过滤器) and end up in waterways. Scientists warn that chemicals and toxins (毒素) absorbed by microbeads and other micropiastics could be passed on to organisms who mistake them for fo
27、od and eat them, and could then be passed up higher and higher on the food chain, eventually reaching humans.1、What is the second paragraph mainly about?AThe description of the trawl.BThe basic data of the water samples.CThe process of collecting water samples.DThe introduction of Trash Free Marylan

29、entists views.4、Whats the authors purpose in writing this passage?ATo explain some new scientific terms to people.BTo let people learn more about plastics pollution.CTo urge governments to make environmental laws.DTo tell people some new findings in scientific research.23（8分） In 1874 Francis Galton,
30、 a British professor, analysed a sample of English scientists and found the vast majority to be first-born sons. This led him to theorise that first-born children enjoyed a special level of attention from their parents that allowed them to advance intellectually. Half a century later Alfred Adler, a
31、n Austrian psychologist, made a similar argument relating to personality. First-born children, he suggested, were more diligent, while the later-born were more outgoing and emotionally stable. Many subsequent studies have explored these ideas, but their findings have been varied - some supporting an
32、d some rejecting the original conclusions.The main problem with the previous studies is that they were too small - often limited to a few dozen individuals. This would be true even if the statistical methods needed to analyse the data were simple, but they are not. Distinguishing birth-order effects
33、 from those caused by family size complicates matters, meaning still bigger samples must be analysed to obtain meaningful results.To overcome the limitation of these earlier studies, German social scientist Dr. Helmet Schmukle and his colleagues analysed three huge sets of data from America, Britain
34、 and Germany. These data sets, though collected for other purposes, included personality and intelligence tests on 20, 186 people at different stages of their lives. The American tests were on individuals aged between 29 and 35. The British tests were conducted on 50-year-olds. The German tests ran
35、the whole span of adult life, from 18 to 98.Birth order, they found, had no effect on personality: first-borns were no more, nor less, likely than their younger siblings to be hardworking, outgoing or anxious. But it did affect intelligence. In a family with two children, the first child was more in
36、telligent than the second 60% of the time, rather than the 50% that would be expected by chance. On average, this translated to a difference of 1.5 IQ points between first and second siblings. That figure agrees with previous studies, and thus looks confirmed.It is, nevertheless, quite a small diffe
37、rence - and whether it is enough to account for Galtons original observation is unclear. In any event, it is certainly not deterministic. Galton was the youngest of nine.1、Alfred Adler concluded that first-born children were _.Amore stableBmore sociableCmore intelligentDmore hardworking2、What does t

39、nducted over a longer period of time.4、Why does the author mention Galtons family background in the last paragraph?ATo confirm Galtons difficult upbringing.BTo suggest Galtons theory may not be correct.CTo compare his experience with Galtons parents.DTo explain why Galton was interested in birth ord
