| I don’t know how I became a writer, but
I think it was because of a certain force in me that had to write and that
finally burst through and found a channel. My people were of the working class
of people. My father, a stone-cutter, was a man with a great respect and
veneration for literature. He had a tremendous memory, and he loved poetry, and
the poetry that he loved best was naturally of the rhetorical kind that such a
man would like. Nevertheless it was good poetry, Hamlet’s Soliloquy, Macbeth,
Mark Antony’s Funeral Oration, Grey’s Elegy, and all the rest of it. I heard it
all as a child; I memorized and learned it all He sent me to college to the state university. The desire to write, which had been strong during all my days in high school, grow stronger still. I was editor of the college paper, the college magazine, A. made an important contribution B. insisted that he choose writing as a career C. opposed his becoming a writer D. insisted that he read Hamlet in order to learn how to be a writer [单项选择]

How
Exercise Makes You Smarter{{/B}}
Exercise does more than build muscles and help prevent heart disease. New science shows that it also boosts brainpower--and may offer hope in the battle against Alzheimer(痴呆症). The stereotype of the "dumb jock" has never sounded right to Charles Hillman. A jock himself, he plays hockey four times a week, but when he isn’t body-checking his opponents on the ice, he’s giving his mind a comparable workout in his neuroscience and kinesiology lab at the University of Illinois. Recently he started wondering if there was a vital and overlooked link between brawn and brains--if long hours at the gym could somehow build up not just muscles, but minds. With colleagues, he started an experiment. He rounded up 259 Illinois third and fifth graders, measured their body-mass index and put them through classic PE routines: the "sit-and-reach", a brisk run and timed push-up A. muscle--brain--bloodstream B. bloodstream--muscle--brain C. muscle--bloodstream--brain D. bloodstream--brain--muscle [简答题]Years of experience have taught us how important business meetings are.

{{B}}TEXT D{{/B}} How we look and how we appear to others probably worries us more when we are in our teens or early twenties than at any other time in our life. Few of us are content to accept ourselves as we are, and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion. Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner. If we do, they tell us, we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently and without embarrassment. Changing fashion, of course, does not apply just to dress. A barber today does not cut a boy’s hair in the same way as he used to, and girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grandmothers did. The advertisers show us the latest fashionable styles and we are constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in ease our friends think we are odd or dull. What causes fas A. satisfied with their appearance B. concerned about appearance in old age C. far from neglecting what is in fashion D. reluctant to follow the trends in fashion 我来回答: 提交
