It has been five years since I left my staff jb and became self-emplyed. I remember my terrr as I walked ut f the ffice fr the last time and the excitement when I sld my first piece days later. Wrking fr yurself, setting yur wn hurs and being respnsible fr yur success r failure are exciting. I left my jb just as summer was starting, and my first few mnths were as blissful as the fair days.
When winter came, an ffice where smene else paid fr the central heating and my salary was guaranteed seemed attractive. January is tugh fr freelancers (自由职业者), and it was n different fr me ---- after masses f wrk, I earned nne. I shared my fears with sme businesswmen I knew ---- what if the reality wuld be mre like what I was experiencing?
Whether thrugh chice r circumstance, the number f freelancers is rising and, if yu’re just starting ut, it is scary. I’ve been lucky that these wmen making mney their wn way shared key lessns abut what it takes.
Yu can’t feel half-hearted abut what yu d because, at sme pint, yu’re ging t have painful days. When that happens, yu have t remember why yu wanted this life in the first place. Dn’t quit yur jb fr smething that yu think might be mre interesting, quit it fr smething yu can’t stp thinking abut.
Setting up a business is tugh. Rather than waiting until all is perfect, g fr the mment when it feels as if mmentum (势头) is with yu. Lk after yurself. There is n sick pay when yu are self-emplyed. Yu can’t d a bad day’s wrk and blame it n yur bss. Yu are the backbne f yur business and yu need t priritize yur health and well-being. Rest regularly and find like-minded peple t supprt yu and lift yu up when things get hard.
Finally, enjy it. Freedm is yurs and, if yu can make it wrk, there is nthing better.

Switching fd and drink purchases t very similar but mre envirnmentally friendly alternatives culd reduce the greenhuse gas emissins frm husehld grceries by mre than a quarter (26%), accrding t a new Australian study frm The Gerge Institute published in Nature Fd. Making bigger changes----like swapping a frzen meat lasagne (宽面条) fr the vegetarian ptin----culd push the reductin t as much as 71%.
Lead authr Dr Allisn Gaines said, “Dietary habits need t change significantly if we are t meet glbal emissins targets, particularly in high-incme cuntries like Australia, the UK, and the US.” But while cnsumers are increasingly aware f the envirnmental impact f the fd system, they lack reliable infrmatin t identify the mre envirnmentally friendly ptins.
Researchers calculated the prjected emissins f annual grcery purchases frm 7,000 Australian husehlds in The Gerge Institute’s Fd Switch database and glbal envirnmental impact datasets. Mre than 22,000 prducts were classified int majr, minr and sub-categries f fds (e.g. ‘bread and bakery’, ‘bread’ and ‘white bread’, respectively) t quantify emissins saved by switching bth within and between grups. Making switches within the same sub-categries f fds culd lead t emissin reductins f 26% in Australia, equivalent t taking ver 1.9 millin cars ff the rad. Switches within minr categries f fds culd lead t even bigger emissin reductins f 71%.
The results f the study shw the ptential t significantly reduce ur envirnmental impact by switching like-fr-like prducts. “It shwed that yu can switch t lwer emissins prducts while still enjying nutritius fds,” Dr Gaines added.
A free app, called ecSwitch, has been develped currently available in Australia, based n this research. Shppers can use their device t scan a prduct barcde and check its ‘Planetary Health Rating’, a measure f its emissins shwn as a scre between half a star (high emissins) t five stars (lw emissins).
“While ecSwitch is a much-needed first step in prviding envirnmental transparency (透明度) fr grcery shppers, the visin is fr cmpulsive display f a single, standardised sustainability rating system n all supermarket prducts,” cncluded prf Neal, Prfessr f Clinical Epidemilgy at Imperial Cllege Lndn.
What des the authr want t shw by listing numbers in paragraph 1?
The impact f fd industry.
The need f changing daily diet.
The status f envirnmental prblems.
The influencing factrs f gas emissins.
Why d researchers make a detailed classificatin fr prducts?
A. T set up a cmprehensive database.
B. T figure ut the detailed fd categries.
C. T identify emissins reduced by switching fd.
D. T ensure less air pllutin caused by fd ptins.
30. What d we knw abut ecSwitch?
A. It is ppular in high-incme cuntries.
B. It checks the emissins f star prducts.
C. It is a measurement system fr a supermarket.
D. It ensures wiser chices fr fd purchase.
31. What des the text mainly talk abut?
A. EcSwitch makes custmers aware f fd risk.
B. Fd swaps cntribute t envirnmental sustainability.
C. Envirnmental prblems accunt fr less fd nutritin.
D. Greenhuse gas emissins have an effect n fd safety.

One by ne, prejudices are disappearing in the West. Peple may hld private suspicins that ther peple’s race r sex makes them inferir -- but t say s penly is ttally tab (禁忌). One ld prejudice remains undisturbed, thugh. Just ask a childless persn.
They are nt charged t special taxes, as they were in Sviet Russia; nr are they driven frm their hmes, as they still are in sme pr cuntries. The childless nnetheless cme in fr a lt f criticism. Sme pint ut that nn-parents are failing t prduce the future wrkers wh will pay fr their pensins. Childless pliticians are charged with nt having a prper stake (利益关系) in sciety. “He talks t us abut the future, but he desn’t have children!”
cmplained Jean-Marie Le Pen, c-funder f the Natinal Frnt party, f Emmanuel Macrn, wh went n t win the French presidency. Similar attacks n Theresa May and Angela Merkel als failed but researchers find that many vters quietly agree.
If nn-breeders are selfish, they have a strange way f shwing it. They are mre likely t set up charitable fundatins than peple with children, and much mre likely t dnate mney t gd causes. Accrding t ne American estimate, the mere fact f nt having children raises the amunt a persn leaves t charity by a little ver $10,000. The childless are thus a small but useful cunterweight t the wrld’s parents, wh stp scial stability by passing n their scial and ecnmic advantages t their children.
The charge that childless peple fail t pull their weight in ppulatin is crrect, but is less serius than it appears. Thse wh d nt have children d put pressure n public pensin systems. Gvernments have t d unppular things like making pensins less generus, as Japan has dne, r accepting mre immigrants, as sme Western cuntries have dne. But t sustain public pensins in the lng term, cuntries d nt actually need mre parents. What they need instead is mre babies. It is pssible t cmbine a high rate f childlessness with a high birth rate, prvided peple wh becme parents have mre than ne r tw children.
That was the pattern in many Western cuntries a century ag. Ireland, yet anther cuntry with a childless leader, still manages it tday.
The childless als d everyne else a favr by creating wnderful wrks f art. British nvelists have been especially likely t have n ffspring (后代): think f Hilary Mantel, P. G Wdehuse and the Brnte sisters. In September last year Britain put Jane Austen n its ten-pund nte. That decisin was cntrversial, thugh it was nt hard t see why. Few peple have written as shrewdly (高明地) abut mney r abut families even thugh Austen did nt marry, and had n children.
What is the main idea f Paragraph 2?
The childless ften cme under sharp criticism.
Childlessness is t future wrkers’ disadvantage.
Many highly successful peple have n children.
The childless pliticians get attacked in sciety.
Why are the childless prejudiced accrding t the public’s pinins?
They have a strange way t shw selfishness
They set a bad example fr yung peple
They are nt as generus as thse with children
They are the gvernment’s financial burden
What des the underlined wrd “it” in Paragraph 4 refer t?
Accepting mre immigrants.
Reducing the pensins fr the aged.
Encuraging parents t have mre children.
Supprting the plitical leaders with n children.
What is the best title fr the passage?
A. In defense f the childless.B. Prejudice against nn-breeders.
C. Why dn’t they have children?D. Measures t address childlessness.

Switching fd and drink purchases t very similar but mre envirnmentally friendly alternatives culd reduce the greenhuse gas emissins frm husehld grceries by mre than a quarter (26%), accrding t a new Australian study frm The Gerge Institute published in Nature Fd. Making bigger changes----like swapping a frzen meat lasagne (宽面条) fr the vegetarian ptin----culd push the reductin t as much as 71%.
Lead authr Dr Allisn Gaines said, “Dietary habits need t change significantly if we are t meet glbal emissins targets, particularly in high-incme cuntries like Australia, the UK, and the US.” But while cnsumers are increasingly aware f the envirnmental impact f the fd system, they lack reliable infrmatin t identify the mre envirnmentally friendly ptins.
Researchers calculated the prjected emissins f annual grcery purchases frm 7,000 Australian husehlds in The Gerge Institute’s Fd Switch database and glbal envirnmental impact datasets. Mre than 22,000 prducts were classified int majr, minr and sub-categries f fds (e.g. ‘bread and bakery’, ‘bread’ and ‘white bread’, respectively) t quantify emissins saved by switching bth within and between grups. Making switches within the same sub-categries f fds culd lead t emissin reductins f 26% in Australia, equivalent t taking ver 1.9 millin cars ff the rad. Switches within minr categries f fds culd lead t even bigger emissin reductins f 71%.
The results f the study shw the ptential t significantly reduce ur envirnmental impact by switching like-fr-like prducts. “It shwed that yu can switch t lwer emissins prducts while still enjying nutritius fds,” Dr Gaines added.
A free app, called ecSwitch, has been develped currently available in Australia, based n this research. Shppers can use their device t scan a prduct barcde and check its ‘Planetary Health Rating’, a measure f its emissins shwn as a scre between half a star (high emissins) t five stars (lw emissins).
“While ecSwitch is a much-needed first step in prviding envirnmental transparency (透明度) fr grcery shppers, the visin is fr cmpulsive display f a single, standardised sustainability rating system n all supermarket prducts,” cncluded prf Neal, Prfessr f Clinical Epidemilgy at Imperial Cllege Lndn.
What des the authr want t shw by listing numbers in paragraph 1?
The impact f fd industry.
The need f changing daily diet.
The status f envirnmental prblems.
The influencing factrs f gas emissins.
Why d researchers make a detailed classificatin fr prducts?
A. T set up a cmprehensive database.
B. T figure ut the detailed fd categries.
C. T identify emissins reduced by switching fd.
D. T ensure less air pllutin caused by fd ptins.
30. What d we knw abut ecSwitch?
A. It is ppular in high-incme cuntries.
B. It checks the emissins f star prducts.
C. It is a measurement system fr a supermarket.
D. It ensures wiser chices fr fd purchase.
31. What des the text mainly talk abut?
A. EcSwitch makes custmers aware f fd risk.
B. Fd swaps cntribute t envirnmental sustainability.
C. Envirnmental prblems accunt fr less fd nutritin.
D. Greenhuse gas emissins have an effect n fd safety.

One by ne, prejudices are disappearing in the West. Peple may hld private suspicins that ther peple’s race r sex makes them inferir -- but t say s penly is ttally tab (禁忌). One ld prejudice remains undisturbed, thugh. Just ask a childless persn.
They are nt charged t special taxes, as they were in Sviet Russia; nr are they driven frm their hmes, as they still are in sme pr cuntries. The childless nnetheless cme in fr a lt f criticism. Sme pint ut that nn-parents are failing t prduce the future wrkers wh will pay fr their pensins. Childless pliticians are charged with nt having a prper stake (利益关系) in sciety. “He talks t us abut the future, but he desn’t have children!”
cmplained Jean-Marie Le Pen, c-funder f the Natinal Frnt party, f Emmanuel Macrn, wh went n t win the French presidency. Similar attacks n Theresa May and Angela Merkel als failed but researchers find that many vters quietly agree.
If nn-breeders are selfish, they have a strange way f shwing it. They are mre likely t set up charitable fundatins than peple with children, and much mre likely t dnate mney t gd causes. Accrding t ne American estimate, the mere fact f nt having children raises the amunt a persn leaves t charity by a little ver $10,000. The childless are thus a small but useful cunterweight t the wrld’s parents, wh stp scial stability by passing n their scial and ecnmic advantages t their children.
The charge that childless peple fail t pull their weight in ppulatin is crrect, but is less serius than it appears. Thse wh d nt have children d put pressure n public pensin systems. Gvernments have t d unppular things like making pensins less generus, as Japan has dne, r accepting mre immigrants, as sme Western cuntries have dne. But t sustain public pensins in the lng term, cuntries d nt actually need mre parents. What they need instead is mre babies. It is pssible t cmbine a high rate f childlessness with a high birth rate, prvided peple wh becme parents have mre than ne r tw children.
That was the pattern in many Western cuntries a century ag. Ireland, yet anther cuntry with a childless leader, still manages it tday.
The childless als d everyne else a favr by creating wnderful wrks f art. British nvelists have been especially likely t have n ffspring (后代): think f Hilary Mantel, P. G Wdehuse and the Brnte sisters. In September last year Britain put Jane Austen n its ten-pund nte. That decisin was cntrversial, thugh it was nt hard t see why. Few peple have written as shrewdly (高明地) abut mney r abut families even thugh Austen did nt marry, and had n children.
What is the main idea f Paragraph 2?
The childless ften cme under sharp criticism.
Childlessness is t future wrkers’ disadvantage.
Many highly successful peple have n children.
The childless pliticians get attacked in sciety.
Why are the childless prejudiced accrding t the public’s pinins?
They have a strange way t shw selfishness
They set a bad example fr yung peple
They are nt as generus as thse with children
They are the gvernment’s financial burden
What des the underlined wrd “it” in Paragraph 4 refer t?
Accepting mre immigrants.
Reducing the pensins fr the aged.
Encuraging parents t have mre children.
Supprting the plitical leaders with n children.
What is the best title fr the passage?
A. In defense f the childless.B. Prejudice against nn-breeders.
C. Why dn’t they have children?D. Measures t address childlessness.

After flying all night, I was tired as I arrived in Denver t hld an event n psitive thinking.
As I entered the lecture hall, Dr. Fred Vgt asked me, “D yu knw abut the Make-A-Wish Fundatin?” “Yes,” I replied. “Well, a 17-year-ld girl Amy Graham has been diagnsed ashaving terminal (晚期的) cancer. Dctrs gave her three days. Her dying wish was t attend yur lecture.”
I was shcked. I felt a cmbinatin f awe and dubt. I culdn’t believe it. I thught kids wh were dying wuld want t see Disneyland, r suchlike. Why wuld a kid with nly a few
days t live want t spend their final days listening t a mtivatinal speaker? Suddenly my thughts were interrupted...
“Here’s Amy.” Befre me std a girl wearing a bright red hat t cver her head, which was bald frm all f the treatments. Her weak bdy was a bit bent. She said, “My tw gals were t graduate frm high schl and t attend yur lecture. My dctrs didn’t believe I culd d either and they didn’t think I’d have enugh energy. I have t rely n my parents nw.”
Tears welled in my eyes; 1 was chked up. My mind was being shaken. I cleared my thrat and smiled, “Thanks fr wanting t cme.” We hugged, wiped ur eyes and separated.
That Sunday afternn I held the wrkshp that Amy and her parents attended. The audience was packed t verflwing with ver a thusand attendees eager t learn, grw and becme mre fully human. I humbly asked the audience if they wanted t learn a healing prcess that might serve them fr life. Frm the stage it appeared that everyne’s hand was raised high in the air. I taught the audience hw t vigrusly（用力地）rub their hands tgether, separate them by tw inches and feel the healing energy. Then I paired them ff with a partner t feel the healing energy frm themselves t anther, explaining that everyne had healing ptential t supprt thers.
