She admitted that she used envy (妒忌)to drive herself on.She used the benefits that come easily to others,such as a safe living environment,to encourage herself that"next to nothing could hold me down".She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University.But Liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father,who has also developed AIDS."I love my parents so much.They are drug addicts.But I never forget that they love me all the time."

6.What are American high schools like?Well,I'm happy to tell you what I know.
When I started school here,it had already been a week since the school opened.At this school,freshmen usually go on a trip for about three days at the beginning of school.Unfortunately I missed that wonderful trip,which would have been the best time to get to know my classmates.I was really sad.I wished I'd known about it earlier.
Despite the disappointment,however,I gradually adapted to my new life and school.
There is a space in the basement of the teaching building where students chat and meet each other.As we do not always have the same classrooms and classmates,the school wants us to get to know each other there.Students usually come to school early,sit in that space and have fun.Around the space,there are many lockers for students to leave their books in,so that students do not have to carry a heavy schoolbag everywhere.
It really surprises me that we have almost no textbooks.We only have textbooks for World History and Algebra 2 and they are big and heavy,like bricks.For other classes,we only need binders (活页夹) with paper in them.Without textbooks,students learn things freely and actively.For example,my humanities teaher just teaches us what is in her mind at the time.We never know what we will learn.
Another difference between American schools and Chinese schools is that American schools care about students'morality more than their academic studies.For example,if you do not finish your homework,you will just be asked to do it later,but if you cheat or lie,you will get a warning or even be kicked out.
I think that most students here are good at schoolwork as well,but compared to Chinese students,they can make learning a more joyful experience.I think we should take the good points from our two different kinds of education to perfect our approach to studying.

24.What was the writer sad for?B
A.He was late for school.
B.He missed the trip at the beginning of school.
C.He didn't know anyone.
D.American students looked down upon him.
25.Why do students go to the basement of the teaching building?C
A.To attend class.
B.To share a classroom.
C.To have fun.
D.To meet teachers.
26.How do teachers in the US teach the students?C
A.However they want to.
B.They use bricks.
C.Some use textbooks; some teach freely.
D.They always teach as required.
27.According to the passage,in American high schools,A.
A.you are likely to be kicked out if you cheat
B.you'll be punished if you do not finish your homework
C.students are better at school work than Chinese students
D.students care much about the grades they get.
20.ChancesI really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job.I also think my work is important.There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career(职业).
I wasn't an excellent student because I didn't do much schoolwork.In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn‘t have much to offer.I just accepted that I wasn't the type to have a career.
I then found myself a job.Looking after two little girls.It wasn't too bad at first.But the problems began when I agreed to live in,so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening.We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week,she'd give me time off the next.But unfortunately,it didn't often work out.I was getting extremely tired and fed up,because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.
One Sunday,I was in the park with the children,and met Megan who used to go to school with me.I told her about my situation.She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification(资格证书)if I wanted to work with children.I didn't think I would be accepted because I didn't take many exams in school.She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful.My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course.I had to leave my job with the family,and got work helping out at a kindergarten.
Now I've got a full-time job there.I shall always be thankful to Megan.I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career,even if you aren't top of the class at school.

7.If ever a drink were invented to satisfy the thirst of social media,this may be it.
With its fantastic name,bright pink and blue twist topped with a pillow of whipped cream,Starbucks'new Unicom Frappuccino(独角兽星冰乐) practically asks to be posted on social media.
And a glimpse at Twitter shows Unicom Frappuccino is indeed gaining attention.
So what's in it?As Starbucks describes it:"A sweet dusting of pink powder,mixed into a Frappuccino with mango syrup and layered with a pleasantly sour blue drizzle.It is finished with vanilla whipped cream and a sprinkle of sweet pink and sour blue powder topping."
A look at the ingredients reveals a list less fantastic.The pink powder is actually sugar and"Fruit and Vegetable Color."
Starbucks advertises the drink",as rare as a unicorn."But unicorn food is actually a thing.The BBC reports,it's fashionable to post pictures of rainbow colored food which reminds of the fairy tale creature.
Rainbow sushi,anyone?
As for the Unicorn Frappuccino,Lori Aquino said the drink caught her eye on social media.Then people at work were talking about it."I saw it was coming out today,so I decided to try it,"Aquino said at a Washington D.C.Starbucks."I'll probably put it on Snapchat or Instagram."
She bought one to share with her two coworkers.
And the opinion?
"It's kind of nasty,"Aquino said.
Letitia Winston agreed:"Nope.That will not be something I come looking for."
But Moriam Animashaun was more forgiving."It's not bad,"she said,"It's just really sweet."
A 16-ounce medium,or a grande in Starbucks speak,comes in at 410calories,59grams of sugar and 16grams of fat.
One thing the women agreed on was the drink's appearance."It's pretty,"said Animashaun.
"It looks nice,"agreed Winston.
And in the age of likes,snaps and tweets,the fantasy image may be all that matters.
The Unicom Frappuccino is available April 19through April 23at participating stores in the United Stales,Canada and Mexico.

33.What do we learn about Starbucks'new Unicom Frappuccino from the passage?D
A.The customers are attracted to try it by its fantastic name only.
B.Lori Aquino first learned about the drink from her coworkers and then saw it get popular on social media,
C.You can purchase a Unicom Frappuccino at any Starbucks store in North America from April 19to April 23.
D.The author may agree that the fantasy image helps the Unicorn Frappuccino gain great popularity.
34.What was Lori and her co-workers'reaction after they tasted the Unicom Frappuccino themselves?C
A.They thought it was good value for the money.
B.They thought it lived up to their expectations,
C.They agreed that the look of the drink was attractive.
D.They thought it was the very drink they were looking for.
35.Which do you think is most probably the title for this passage?C
A.Unicom Frappuccino is Coming Soon
B.Unicorn Frappuccino is Getting Popular
C.Unicom Frappuccino:A Digital Age Drink
D.Unicorn Frappuccino:An Eye-catching Healthy Drink.
