阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
If I have a gal in life, it isn’t t be driving a Rlls-Ryce. It’s t be giving away mre than $1,000,000 a year and having an impact n peple’s lives. I have the success tday because I always had t wrk fr what I wanted. I grew up accustmed t risks and disappintments, s I was used t mving frward, n matter what.
In 2008, I went t Ls Angeles where I tried t get hired as an agent, an analyst and a financial brker. Unfrtunately, all these drs slammed in my face. The wrld’s ecnmy was in a bad state, s I knew I wuld have t d a little spinning f my wn.
Yuth invlves a certain inncence but als perseverance. The wrd “can’t” wasn’t in my vcabulary. I partnered with a friend buying distressed multifamily prperties arund Hustn. Even thugh we were enthusiastic and backed with start-up sums, I didn’t make a deal wrk. My friend mved n t ther prjects. Alne, I put all my mney int the next real-estate prject. I put the time in, I dreamed it, but nce again the deal fell thrugh. Tw mnths later, thugh, the deal came back arund. That was when the path pened, luck changed, and I was ready t frm my wn cmpany. I haven’t lked back. Only ahead.
I’m nw able t give back t cmmunities and causes. I dnate abut $500,000 a year, much f that ging t research t cure rare diseases. We als supprt a lt f services fr disadvantaged children in Hustn and ther places.
I have always been smene wh can see the big picture and have never been distracted by things that get in the way. There are lessns t be learned, and the biggest f thse is t keep ging. Yu may have t change the path, but always keep that visin in frnt f yu.

I lve my gas stve. There’s nthing quite like cking ver that beautiful blue flame. But in recent years envirnmentalists have been warning that gas stves are bad fr the climate and nt s great fr ur health, either. Tw new studies have heightened health wrries abut harmful gases in ur kitchens. Is the evidence sufficient t change ur cking habits? Fr me, the answer is yes.
Bradly speaking, there are tw categries f cncerning emissins related t gas stves. First, there is the unburned natural gas, which is mre than 90 percent methane. Mre than three quarters f methane that escapes frm a stve leaks int kitchens when it is nt in use, mst likely thrugh imprper pipe fittings. Methane is nt pisnus, but it is a pwerful greenhuse gas. With 40 millin gas stves acrss ur cuntry, it is estimated that the heat-trapping ptential f the methane they send ut annually can rughly be cmpared t the carbn dixide released by half a millin gas-pwered cars.
Secnd, there are the pllutants created by cmbustin when a burner is n, mst ntably nitrgen xides, which can cause discmfrt and pain in the lungs. In a matter f minutes, families wh d nt use their exhaust hds and wh have small, prly ventilated kitchens can g ver the Envirnmental Prtectin Agency’s utdr expsure limit fr nitrgen dixide. Even shrt expsures t much nitrgen dixide can wrsen symptms in peple with respiratry cnditins. And there is enugh evidence that lng-term expsure raises the risk f develping asthma.
What is the average hme ck t make f all this? They might take a cue frm Michanwicz, wh bught a plug-in cuntertp inductin stve and des much f his cking n that $100 item. Jacksn, fr his part, is putting his mney where his research is: “I’m replacing a perfectly gd gas stve” with an inductin stve. Several U.S. cities are curtailing the use f natural gas in new cnstructin.
As fr me, I’m making sme changes. I’ve switched t an electric kettle fr biling water, and despite its annying nise, I nw use the exhaust hd ver my stve. And weather permitting, I’ll pen a windw.
25. What des the authr want t shw by mentining tw new studies?
A. She might well get ut f her cking habits.
B. Health wrries are prved by the tw studies.
C. It’s nt fr her t judge despite sufficient evidence.
D. She will cntinue t ck with her belved gas stve.
26. What d we knw abut methane?
A. Methane can test the destructive pwer f greenhuse gas.
B. Mst methane will leak int kitchens when a stve is nt in use.
C. The leakage f methane int kitchens is pssibly thrugh imperfect pipe fittings.
D. The heat-trapping ptential f methane is equal t the carbn dixide released by cars.
27. What des the underlined wrd “curtailing” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Guaranteeing.B. Limiting.C. Increasing.D. Embracing.
28. Which f the fllwing is the mst suitable structure f the text?
A. B. C. D.

Seeing us cming, she, suddenly, std and faced me, “Why are there mre pictures f Lisa than there are f me?” she asked. Lisa is ur lder daughter.
I stared back, nt understanding the questin. Lri turned and left the rm. Caught ff-guard by the questin, I lked at Marilyn. “Are there mre pictures f Lisa than f Lri?” Marilyn shrugged and raised her eyebrws in a mtin f puzzlement. “Are yu aware that there are mre pictures f Lisa than Lri?” I added.
Marilyn said, “I’ve never cunted them. I dn’t knw.”
Marilyn’s answer was the same as my thughts, “I hadn’t realized that there was any significant difference. Nw why wuld Lri ask such a questin?” I asked.
Marilyn just shk her head and stared back at me. After a few minutes f thught she said, “When Lisa was brn, yu were taking phtgraphs. Yu hardly went anywhere withut a camera. When Lri was brn, yu were invlved in clred slides (幻灯片). There must be hundreds f slides f Lri smewhere in the huse that Lri has never seen r desn’t remember.”
After digesting Marilyn’s remarks, I agreed. “After Lri leaves, we’ll lk fr thse slides. Wh knws, we may find mre slides f Lri than pictures f Lisa,” I jked.

“What are yu ging t d?” Marilyn asked.
“It’s her birthday in a few weeks,” I said, “We’ll select abut ne hundred slides with Lri and cnvert them int pictures, put them int an album and give t her as a gift. I dn’t knw if the album will answer her questin, but at least she’ll knw that we care enugh t find her an answer.”
