It was a restful Sunday and between alarms I rushed to the office to read a copy of the New York Times. I read an article on the Book Review section which openly stated what I thought to be a calumny–that William Butler Yeats had gone beyond his Irishness and was forever to be known as a universal poet. As I read it, my blood began to boil.There were few things I was more proud of than my Irish root, and ever since I first picked up a book of his poems from a shelf when I was in the military, Yeats had been my favorite Irish writer, followed by Sean O’Casey and James Joyce.I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote out a letter of anger to the editor. Througho ut Yeats’ poetry, his view of the world and the people in it was basically Irish. He had lived his life and written his poetry in a truly Irish way. It was annoyed to think Irishness was something to be transcended(超越).I don’t know why I felt it my duty to safeguard the reputation of the world’s greatest poet. I just knew that I had to write that letter.After my letter got published, I received a letter from The New Yorker, asking for an interview. When my article Fireman Smith appeared in that magazine, the editor of a large publishing firm called me, asking if I was interested in writing a book about my life. I had little confidence to write a whole book, though the subject was worthy. I wrote Report From Engine Co. 82 in six months, and it sold really well. In the years that followed, I wrote three more best-sellers.Being a writer had been far from my expectations. How had it happened I often found myself thinking about it, and my thoughts always came back to that letter to the New York Times. For me, the writing was a natural consequence of the passion(热情) I felt and the subjects represented the great values burning within me as I wrote.Over the years, my five children have come to me with one dilemma or another. My answer is always the same. Think abo ut what you’re feeling and measure the heat of the fire in your heart, for that is your passion. Your education and your experience will guide you toward making a right decision, but your passion will enable you to make a difference in whatever you do. Tha t’s what I learned the dayI stood up for Ireland’s greatest poet.24. Why did the author write to New York TimesA. To present his love for literature.B. To spread Irish culture to the world.C. To show off his writing.D. To defend the reputation of an Irish poet.25. What does the underlined word “calumny” in Paragraph 1 probably meanA. a false statementB. a great honorC. a total lieD. a good reason26. Which statement is true according to the textA. The author thinks Yeats is more universal than Irish.B. The author’s passion is the key to his success in writing.C. Yeats’s poems inspires the author to be a writer.D. The author believes education and experience count most.27. Which of the following can be the best title for the textA. Yeats, my Irish heroB. My writing careerC. A letter that changed my lifeD. Honesty is the best policyCCan you be too beautiful It is hardly a problem that most of us have to bother — as much as we might like to dream that it were the case.Yet the blessings and curses of beauty have been a long-standing interest in psychology. Do those blessed with shiny faces and an attractive body live in a cloud of appreciation — or does it sometimes pay to be ordinaryAt the most basic level, beauty might be thought to carry a kind of halo (光环) around it; we see that someone has one good quality, and by association, our deep mind may assume that they have other good ones too.But if beauty pays in most circumstances, there are still situations where it can have opposite results. While attractive men may be considered better leaders, for instance, hidden sexist prejudices (偏见) can work against attractive women, making them less likely to be hired for high-level jobs that require power. And as you might expect, good-looking people of both sexes run into envy —one study found that if you are interviewed by someone of the same sex, they may be less likely to employ you if they judge that you are more attractive than they are.More worryingly, being beautiful or handsome could harm your medical care. We tend to link good looks to health, meaning that illnesses are often taken less seriously when they affect the good-looking. When treating people for pain, for instance, doctors tend to take less care over the more attractive people.To conclude, scientists point out that focusing too much on your appearance can itself be harmful if it creates stress and anxiety —even for those already blessed with good looks. “If you are crazy about attractiveness, it may affect your experience and interactions,” she says. It’s an outdated saying, but no amount of beauty can make up for a bad personality. As the writer Dorothy Parker put it so elegantly: “Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.”28. From paragraph 1, we can learn that _______.A. some may be bothered by their unattractive appearanceB. most people are not afraid of being too beautifulC. we might always dream about being bothered by othersD. being too beautiful can be a problem bothering everyoneis right according to the passageA. Doctors care more about beautiful patients.B. Beautiful people tend to have a healthy body.C. Attractive women and men have equal chance of leadership.D. Focusing too much on your appearance can be harmful.30. What`s the meaning of the underlined sentence in the last paragraphA. The more beautiful outside, the less beautiful inside.B. Beauty can help make a better personality.C. Beauty cannot make up for bad personalities.D. Ugly people have more confidence in their personality.31. What might be the best title for the passageA. What is Real BeautyB. The Bad Effects of BeautyC. Benefits of BeautyD. Beauty, a BlessingDDutch officials toasted on Tuesday the opening of what is being called the world’s first 3D-printed concrete bridge, which is meant to be used by cyclists. There was applause as officials wearing hard hats and workmen’s jackets rode over the bridge on their bikes at the opening ceremony in the southeastern town of Gemert.“The bridge is not very big, but it was rolled out by a printer which makes it unique,” Theo Salet, from the Eindhoven University of Technology, told Dutch broadcaster NOS. Work on printing the bridge, which has some 800 layers, took about three months after starting in June and it is made of pre-stressed concrete, according to the university. “One of the advantages of printing a bridge is that much less concrete is needed than in the conventional technique in which a mould (泥浆) is filled,” it said on its website, adding “a printer deposits the concrete only where it is needed.”The eight-metre (26-foot) bridge crosses a water-filled channel to connect two roads, and it was tested for safety to bear loads of up to two metric tons in cooperation with the BAM Infra Construction Company. “Although designed for bikes, it could take up to 40 trucks,”the designers said. “We are looking to the future,” said the head of BAM, Marinus Schimmel. “3D printing meant fewer rare res ources were needed and there was significantly less waste,” he added.The Netherlands is among countries, with the United States and China, taking a lead in this cutting-edge technology, using computers and robotics to construct objects and structures from scratch without using much traditional manpower. Last year a Dutch architect unveiled (提示) a unique 3D printer with which he hopes to construct an “endless loop” building. And a Dutch start-up called MX3D has begun printing a stainless-steel bridge, of which a third is already completed. The aim is to finish printing by March and lay the bridge over an Amsterdam canal in the future.32. According to the text, what makes the bridge uniqueA. It adopts 3D printingB. It opens only to cyclists.C. It is made of new material.D. It uses much less concrete.does Marinus Schimmel agreeA. In theory, it can support up to 40 bicycles.B. The kind of bridge is energy-saving.C. The kind of bridge is safer than traditional ones.D. The technology has been used widely.statement is true based on the last paragraphA. The project of an “endless loop” building has begun.B. A stainless-steel bridge has been half constructed.C. China is a country with advanced 3D printing.D. 3D printing technology needs no manpower.35. Where can you read this passageA. News reportB. Engineering paperC. History textbookD.
