26、Being fat is a non-stop fight between not being noticed and attracting much notice. Sometimes you want to be accepted; instead, you’re singled out and judged. In 2015, when I became the first plus-size designer to win Project Runway, I hoped it would be a moment not only for inclusive fashion, but also for all other fat human beings out there. It wasn’t just me who had won; we’d won. Many women told me they were afraid to wear bright colors or show off their arms until they saw me doing it. But some of the words on the Internet were terrible: “Why did they pick that fat designer?” “How can she encourage such an unhealthy lifestyle?” My positive psychology was affected. I got sad and negative and put on more weight. I reached a point where I couldn’t climb stairs without losing my breath.

I finally realized that if I didn’t take care of myself, I couldn’t keep doing what I loved, so I went to see a doctor and started doing exercise every day. After that I got more judgments, this time from people in the fat group who once supported me. They turned their backs on me and said, “You can’t be body positive and still losing weight.” I thought, “Well, why not? I wasn’t trying to be ‘prettier’; I wanted to have control of my life.”

Size should not divide us, whether we are fat, thin, or anywhere in the between. I’m designing clothes for plus women, but one day I might be open to designing straight (直筒型的) sizes. People judge me for that, too. But I just want to create clothes that make people feel good. I want every woman to love herself and go after her dreams like I did.

【1】What was the author’s hope after she won Project Runway?

A．People would look up to her.

B．Other fat people would share her pride.

C．The clothes she designed would sell well.

D．Fat people would lead the fashion industry.

【2】What did the author do after she saw the words on the Internet?

A．She lost interest in fashion.

B．She lost control of her body.

C．She stopped wearing bright colors.

D．She decided to have a healthy lifestyle.

【3】What was fat people’s attitude to the author when she started losing weight?

A．Dissatisfied.

B．Uninterested.

C．They laughed at her.

D．They couldn’t believe it.

【4】In which part of a newspaper might this passage appear?

A．Environment.

B．Medicine.

C．Career.

D．Entertainment.

27、How to protect children Web fans from unsuitable material online while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the U. S.

For some parents, the Internet can seem like a jungle, filled with danger for their children. But jungles contain wonders as well as dangers and with good guides, some education, and a few precautions(预防措施), the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated(航行). “Kids have to be online. If we tell our kids they can't have access to the Internet, we're cutting them off from their future,” said an expert.

Most kids have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites, and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go. There are search engines designed just for kids. A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way to limit access would be to use what is known as a “content screener(过滤器)”. But this can't be wholly reliable(可靠的), and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing(浏览) the Internet.

A few other tips:

·Don’t put the PC in a child’s room but keep it in an area where mum or dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.

·Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friends they make online.

·Tell your child not to give online strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.

·And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet online over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.

【1】The best way to protect children from improper material is ________.

A. to install(安装) a content screener on the computer

B. to buy some search engines for the children

C. to be nearby when they are surfing the Internet

D. to talk to the children and persuade them to tell right from wrong

【2】Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage?

A. Surfing the Internet is the best method of educating children.

B. Children's not having access to Internet may have an effect on their progress.

C. Using a content screener is most reliable for keeping children having access to Internet.

D. Searching engines can help children to select materials fit for them.

【3】According to the passage, we can infer that ________.

A. softwares fit for children want programming

B. a child who is online is in danger

C. Internet is a jungle full of danger

D. Internet contains a lot of harmful sites

28、Wang Yaping’s dream of becoming an astronaut was inspired by Yang Liwei’s 2003 space flight, which was China’s first manned space mission.

Born in a small village in Yantai, Shandong Province in   1980, Wang had been an enthusiastic long-distance runner since primary school, and competed in local sports meetings.

In 1997, Wang, a high school student, was encouraged to register for the pilot recruitment program by her classmates because she was good at sports and didn’t wear glasses. The 17-year-old had been considering applying to a teaching college, as her parents suggested.

Given her strong build and ability to stay calm under pressure, Wang passed all tests as well as physical examinations and became a female pilot in China. After four years of systemic education and tough training, Wang eventually learned to fly four different types of aircraft before graduation.

During her service as a military pilot, she accumulated 1,567 hours of flight time and was involved in major tasks such as the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake relief effort and the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

In May 2010, Wang became a member of China’s first batch of female astronauts. The joy of being selected did not last long as the hard training quickly sank in.

In the first year, Wang could not get the top level in the high-G training, during which she had to endure eight times the force of gravity in a spinning centrifuge. The training imitates the environment when the spacecraft takes off, enters orbit and returns. Wang improved her performance by doing extra core-strength exercises every day to strengthen her back and abdominal muscles. She got the top level at the end of 2011. Wang realized her space dream in 2013 as part of the Shenzhou-10 mission.

Over the past two years, Wang has logged in over 6,000 hours of strict training. The most tiring exercise was the seven-hour underwater training session during which she had to wear a special suit that weighed over 100 kilograms to simulate extravehicular activities in a weightless environment.

Wang has become the first female taikonaut to work in China’s Tiangong space station as well as the first Chinese woman to perform a spacewalk.

【1】Why did Wang want to become an astronaut?

A．Because she was able to stay calm under pressure.

B．Because she was good at sports and didn’t wear glasses.

C．Because she was advised to register for the pilot program by her parents.

D．Because she was influenced by China’s first manned space flight.

【2】From this passage, we can know that .

A．Wang was the first Chinese female to take a spacewalk

B．Wang won a long-distance runner championship in college.

C．Wang went to a teaching college encouraged by her classmates.

D．Wang thought the seven-hour underwater training session was easy.

【3】What did Wang do after she joined China’s first batch of female astronauts?

A．She learned to fly four different types of aircraft.

B．She received four years of systemic education in university.

C．She participated in the Shenzhou-10 mission of China.

D．She got involved in the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake relief effort.

【4】Which of the following words can best describe Wang?

A．Calm and friendly.

B．Hardworking and determined.

C．Modest and honest.

D．Warm-hearted and creative.

3． Use old dresses and suits

You don't always have to be on a new dress for a wedding． While men have the option of repeating their suits， women are more likely to spend money on new clothes for the special occasion． But before you take out your wallet， consider reinventing something already in your closet． Belts， colorful scarves， shoes can bring life to any outfit．
