Asked what is driving the beauty industry to clean and green beauty, Laurent Gilbert, one of L’Oréal’s directors said, “Natural science has made progress in the past years so that we can change to natural ingredients.”L’Oréal says it will draw on recent developments in Green Sciences to get the best that nature has to offer through technology. Up to now, 80 percent of the Group’s materials have been easily biodegradable ( 生物可降解的), 59 percent have been renewable, and 34 percent have been natural or of natural origin.

My graduation day... was not.I remember that weekend two years ago. Family and friends had flown in from across the country to watch our class walk across that stage. But like everyone else in my graduating class, I had watched the economy turn from bad to worse. What I thought would take a week dragged into two. and then four, and 100 job applications later, I found myself in the exact same spot as 1 was before. And the due date to begin paying back my student loans was creeping ever closer.You know that feeling when you wake up and you are just consumed with fear? Fear about something you can't control—that sense of approaching failure that remains over you as you hope that everything that happened to you thus far was just a bad dream? That feeling became a constant in my life. And the most frustrating part was no matter how much 1 tried, 1 just couldn't seem to make any progress.So what did I do to maintain my sanity（理智）？ I wrote. Something about putting words on a page made everything seem a little clearer—a little brighter. Something about writing gave me hope. And if you want something badly enough... sometimes a little hope is all you need! So I channeled my frustration into a children's book. And then one day, without any sort of writing degree or contacts in the writing world — just a lol of hard work and perseverance—I was offered a publishing contract for my first book! After that, things slowly began to fall into place. 1 was offered a second book deal. Then, a few months later, I got an interview with The Walt Disney Company and was hired shortly after.The moral of this story is... don't give up. Even if things look bleak now, don't give up. Things change If you work hard, give it time, and don't give up, things will always get better Oftentimes all we need is the courage to push beyond the river.8．From Paragraph 2, we can learn that the author probably.A．was having an exciting graduationB．was getting into financial difficultiesC．missed the life in the universityD．had just applied for the student loans9．How did the author change the frustrating situation?A．By sending applications. B．By offering contracts.C．By keeping writing. D．By publishing books.10．Which of the following can replace the underlined word "bleak" in the last paragraph?A．unattractive B．hopelessC．thrilling D．promising11．What is the passage mainly about?A．Success belongs to the persevering.B．A contented mind is a perpetual（长久的）feast.C．A smooth sea never makes a skillful mariner.D．Misfortunes tell us what fortune is.D（议论文）You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing (内化) your victimization (受害). The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don’t let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don’t blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred (神圣的) moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺) in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others—and even themselves—to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have a fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.；12．In what way is a creator different from a victim?A．A creator is given more challenges.B．Failure seldom comes to a creator.C．Storms are beneficial in a creator’s eyes.D．A victim hardly blames others for their own faults.；13．When people choose to think like a creator, what will happen?A．They seldom make careless mistakes.B．The world seems a cold and difficult place.C．Life is blessed with fewer opportunities than expected.D．They don’t care what happens to them but think positively.；14．Which of the following can be described as a creator’s act?A．Tim failed his exam and thought he would never pass it.B．Sam lost his job and abandoned himself to drinking for months.C．J. K. Rowling was rejected by a publisher and yet went on writing.D．Jessica broke up with her husband and chose to give up her own life.；15．Which of the following can be the best title for this text?A．Benefits Of Being A Creator B．Creators: Act Now Or NeverC．Creator Or Victim: Up To You D．Ways To Transform A Victim Into A Creator 参考答案CAD BDAC BCBA CDCC
