My first jb was wrking at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years ld.It was a dream jb and I did everything frm shelving bks t reading t the children fr stry time.
As I grew lder and became a mther,the library tk n a new place and an added meaning in my life.I had several children and bks were ur main surce(来源) f entertainment.It was a big deal fr us t lad up and g t the lcal library,where my kids culd pick ut bks t read r bks they wanted me t read t them.
I always read,using different vices,as thugh I were acting ut the stries with my vice and they lved it!It was a special time t bnd with my children and it filled them with the wnderment f bks.
Nw,I see my children taking their children t the library and I lve that the excitement f ging t the library lives n frm generatin t generatin.
As a nvelist,I’ve fund a new relatinship with libraries.I encurage readers t g t their lcal library when they can’t affrd t purchase a bk.I see libraries as a safe haven (避风港) fr readers and writers,a bridge that helps put tgether a reader with a bk.Libraries,in their wn way,help fight bk piracy (盗版行为) and I think all writers shuld supprt libraries in a significant way when they can.Encurage readers t use the library.Share library annuncements n yur scial media.Frequent them and talk abut them when yu can.

Have yu ever had a fd that yu tasted and yu immediately disliked? Maybe it was brccli(西兰花), dark chclate, r cttage cheese. Maybe yu were “encuraged” t try the fd again, and then ne f thse times yu actually liked it. Many peple have had this experience. While tastes are develped at a yung age, they can be changed, which depends n a persn’s desire t try.
Researchers at the University f Birmingham released a study that shwed peple have a flavr windw. The flavr windw is pen fr fur-t-six-mnth-ld babies. During this time, it is easier t get babies t try a fd they have nt previusly tasted. As they grw up, the flavr windw slwly clses, leaving mst f them dubius f new fds.
Hwever, the flavr windw clsing at a yung age desn’t mean it can’t be repened. A study fund that if babies are intrduced t a new fd 5 t 10 times, they can grw t like it. That amunt ges up as children grw lder. Ultimately, the study came t the cnclusin that the flavr windw may never be cmpletely shut.
Being willing t try a new fd repeatedly is necessary t pen a persn’s flavr windw again. Each attempt will lessen the natural unwillingness f smething new. Eventually, “nt bad” can turn int “pretty gd”. One methd fr inspiring curage t try new fds multiple times is testing different ingredients. Adding an ingredient-sugar r salt, perhaps-that ne enjys, might make an unappealing fd mre appealing. Once the persn has trained him r herself t like the fd, the added ingredient may nt be necessary.
Overcming a dislike f a particular fd requires tasting a fd in different ways and at different times. In spite f strange smells, dd textures, r distinctive flavrs, a persn has the ability t acquire a true liking fr even the mst unique and unusual fds. S dn’t give up-yu never knw when yu might surprise yurself and discver that brccli is yur new favrite fd!
28. What des the study find abut babies?
A. Babies are naturally unwilling t try new fds.
B. Babies develp a favrite fd if they eat that fd many times.
C. Babies are mre likely t accept new fds when the flavr windw is pen.
D. Babies wh are nt expsed t new fds will experience a narrw flavr windw.
29. What des the underlined wrd in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Greedy. B. Dubtful. C. Impatient. D. Bred.
30. Why des the authr include paragraph 4 in the text?
A. T explain hw adding sugar r salt imprves the taste f fds
B. T highlight that there is n reasn why peple stp trying new fds.
C. T warn that peple may have difficulty preparing new fds prperly.
D. T suggest that peple can expand their flavr preferences with time and effrt.
31. Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A. Dn’t give up n brccli. B. Try new fds befre it is t late.
C. Ways t repen yur flavr windw. D. A new study abut yur eating habits.
D
Did yu knw that a drp f yur bld can predict(预测) disease yu may develp in the future? This is pssible thrugh genetic(基因的) testing. The mst cmmn type f genetic testing is called “newbrn screening”, which is dne t find treatable genetic disrders in newbrn babies. In many cuntries, babies are screened in the hspital shrtly after they are brn. Althugh it is unusual t find that a baby has a genetic disrder, thse that d have a disrder start receiving treatment right away.
Anther type f genetic testing is called “predictive gene testing”. This is used t predict an adult’s risk f develping certain diseases later in life. There are many bvius advantages. A negative test can help peple feel really relaxed. Jen Thmsn, wh recently underwent predictive gene testing fr lung cancer, explains, “S many peple in my family died f lung cancer, which has made me really wrried. When the test came back negative, I felt as if smene had lifted a large weight ff my shulders.”
There are als sme cntrversial(有争议的) dwnsides t genetic testing. Alzheimer's disease(老年痴呆症) runs in An Lee's family. Ann has decided t get genetic testing t see if she is likely t develp it. Hwever, her husband Ba is nt happy abut her decisin. Ba explains, “If the result is psitive, hw will it help t knw that she will prbably develp the disease? If I had the Alzheimer's gene, I wuldn't want t knw.” Anther prblem is that even if smene tests psitively fr a disease, it desn't mean that they will surely develp the disease. S, a persn culd spend years wrrying abut smething that will never happen.
32. Accrding t the passage, newbrn screening is dne ________.
A. t see if a baby is healthy B. t predict the baby’s grwth
C. t treat any disrder in the baby D. t find ut the baby's gene rder
33. What was the prblem with Jen Thmsn?
A. She had develped lung cancer.
B. Smething was wrng with her shulders.
C. She was afraid f develping lung cancer.
D. All her family members died f lung cancer.
34. Which wrd can best describe Ba's feeling?
A. Satisfied. B. Dubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Happy.
35. What is the purpse f this text?
A. T give a descriptin f Alzheimer's disease.
B. T encurage peple t take genetic testing.
C. T tell peple smething abut genetic testing.
D. T pint ut the prblems f genetic testing.
