As children we are well-trained t find the right answer. We are rewarded fr A's, the hnr rll and acing the test. Our educatin trains us t fllw
the rules and deliver the expected answers. When we d, awards and cngratulatins fllw. Yet when we grw up, it gets a little harder. Life and careers
dn’t have tests with an A if we get the “right” answer.
I recently had cffee with a cllege student wh will graduate. She is struggling with what she wants fr her career. She wants her parents t be
prud f her and t cntinue the success she has had in schl. She als talked abut ther students in her graduating class wh are set t d "sme big
things," like wrking fr impressive cmpanies. Yet she wasn't sure f the right answer fr using her degree. She said that deep dwn she was hping
that smene might give her the answer.
We bth agreed that it cmes dwn t nt lking fr the right answer, but her answer. The grwn-up definitin f the “right answer" is different
than that in schl. What wuld yu d if yu weren't afraid? It takes time t knw these answers. And they can change ver time and at any pint in
yur career. My encuragement is t get valued advice and input, f curse, but finally t lk within yurself fr the answers. It helps t cme back t:
What d I want t be knwn fr? What is my definitin f success? What am I best at?
If I had n fears, what wuld I d?
What is ne step I can take tday t mve me tward my gal (even if it's nt perfectly clear)?
I find these types f questins are mre helpful at getting t ur unique answer rather than “right answer” questins, such as: What will my
parents want? What degree r jb will mark me as accmplished t the wrld? What is my best ptin based n where I wrk tday?
【小题1】What des the authr mean t say in the first paragraph?

C．It is nt helpful t fllw the rules in schl.

A．She des badly in her studies.

B．Her parents are nt prud f her.
C．She feels puzzled abut her life career.
D．She is nt sure whether t d" sme big things".
【小题3】When lking fr the answer in life, yu need t .
A．trust yur parents
B．listen t yur heart
C．fllw valued advice
D．learn frm yur classmates
【小题4】Which f the fllwing questins might nt help yu t seek yur answer?
A．What d I lve t d?
B．What matters mst t me in life?
C．What will make me lk successful?
D．What will I regret nt ding when I'm 80?
An expert has revealed whether carrts truly help yu see in the dark and if an apple a day actually keeps the dctr away.
Nutritinist Lily Sutter als clarifies if it really takes seven years t digest chewing gum (口香糖), whether yu can swim after eating and if fish is
gd fr the brain.
She cnfirms that while carrts cntain lts f vitamin A, which helps maintain healthy visin, they dn’t help yu see any better in the dark.
Similarly, enjying an apple a day wn’t in itself reduce yur chances f needing t visit a dctr, and chewing gum desn’t take seven years t leave
yur system. And sadly, eating celery (芹菜) desn’t burn mre calries than yu gain frm eating it, despite 23 percent believing it t be the case.
Ygurt maker Onken teamed up with Lily. They cnducted a survey f 2,000 peple, finding half f them are “cnfused” abut fd fact and
fictin.
Onken said, “Many f us rely n what we remember frm schl when it cmes t nutritin. But we’re learning new things all the time abut what
different fds d fr ur health, such as the benefit f fermented (发酵的) fds t ur gut and immune system. While sme f what’s passed dwn
ver generatins is super advice, sme f it isn’t.”
The study als fund that swimming right after eating is wrngly believed by 34 percent f adults t be smething yu shuldn’t d. In fact, it’s
exercising t high intensity immediately after eating that shuld be avided, as it can give yu a sudden pain.
Almst half believe fish is gd fr the brain. They’re right, as lng as they’re eating ily fish, because essential mega-3 fatty acids in ily fish
cntribute t nrmal brain functin. Other “fake news” wrngly believed by many f thse surveyed include eating chicken sup helps if yu have a
cld (27%) and drinking fruit juice is as healthy as eating whle fruit (17%).
【小题1】What can we learn abut Lily Sutter’s findings?
A．An apple a day keeps the dctr away.
B．Eating celery surely helps us lse weight.
C．Eating carrts cntributes t healthy visin.
D．Carrts help us see things better in the dark.
【小题2】Why is Onken mentined in the text?
A．T appeal t mre peple t find right fd facts.
B．T infrm peple f the benefit f fermented fds.
C．T prve there are many makers wrking with Lily.
D．T pint ut many peple’s mistaken nutritin ideas.
【小题3】What attitude shuld we take t the nutritin ideas passed dwn ver generatins?
A．Supprtive.
B．Disapprving.
C．Indifferent.
D．Cautius.
【小题4】What is the best title fr the text?
A．Learning New Things Is Vital t Health
B．Hw t Fight “Fake News” Abut Health
C．Welcme t the Mst Ppular Fd Myths

D．Nutritinist Reveals Truth Abut Fd Myths
A hybrid electric vehicle (混合动力车) r HEV is a vehicle driven by the cmbinatin f petrl engine and electric mtr. Terrence has been driving a
HEV fr five years. He really desn’t understand why mre peple aren’t accepting them. “I prbably spend abut ＄ 7 a day n petrl,” the taxi
driver tld news. cm. au. In his previus cnventinal vehicle Terrence said he was spending up t ＄ 30 a day n petrl, meaning he saves almst ＄
6000 every year.
The Tyta spkesman said this was quite a high saving and fficial tests estimate (估计) an average driver wuld nly save abut 33 percent ff their
current bill. This means a driver paying ＄ 30 a day n petrl wuld see their bill drp t abut ＄ 20 using the hybrid. “A taxi driver that drives in built-
up areas and spends little time n highways will ntice a higher fuel saving,” he said. “Lw speeds allw the electric mtrs t be used mre and the
petrl engine used less.”
While sme peple are skeptical abut hw reliable hybrids are, Terrence said he had never run ut f pwer. His Camry cst abut ＄ 34,000 and s
after five years, it’s nearly paid fr itself. “Fr cab drivers, it’s a real advantage because f the cst-effectiveness,” he said. Terrence has n cmplaints
abut the car. “I lve it, the calm and quietness f it, the simplicity f it—yu just jump in and g. The maintenance（保养）is really lw. But the nly
difficulty is finding smene t service the car as there are nt many experienced mechanics（机修工）.”
Terrence said it’s “extrardinary” that mre drivers aren’t buying mre hybrid electric vehicles and that gvernments are nt encuraging this
mre. “I think peple have a view that yu have t plug it in, which is nt true. A lack f infrmatin abut the cars may be stpping peple frm taking
the plunge. It’s nt prmted at all fr the public t understand—it’s simplifying the actual wning f a car—yu dn’t have t d s many things t
wn it and run it, it’s just s much simpler. Why wuldn’t the gvernment prmte such a thing?”

After half an hur I was at the beach seeking fr my friends, Jimmy and Bbby. Tw yung men were racing in the canes (独木舟). After a while, I
