   Becoming a lexicographer(词典编纂者) was completely an accident. I came across a want ad for an editorial assistant. I got called for the interview and found out it was for Merriam-Webster. I thought, “Oh,I could do that." Within a couple of months,I realized this was exactly what I needed to do.

   My job is to define new words and update old ones. When I first started,I thought I'd keep a list of words I wrote new entries for. I gave up after a year and a 50-page-long list. The list would grow long and never end. At this point when people ask how many words I've entered,I can't tell them. I have probably looked at every single entry in all of our dictionaries.

   To be a new entry,a word must meet three criteria. First,widespread use. Second,it has to have sustained(持续的) usage over a certain period of time (usually years) . People think of the dictionary as being the bleeding edge,but it's not. By the time a word is in a dictionary,most people have at least seen it. Third,it has to have a meaning.

   Most words don't enter the language in a smooth way. Words will drop out,then increase in use again. There's an uneven upward trend. AIDS,I think,we entered within a year of its first use. It was clear it was not going away anytime soon.

   I've been at this job for almost 17 years. That's kind of crazy in this day and age,but it doesn't get boring. At some time you will have had enough of doing the same work over and over again,but you can find things that are new and fresh and interesting.

   C. There was no need to keep it.

   D. She was too busy to stick to it.

26. What does the underlined part “the bleeding edge” in Paragraph 3 mean?

   A. Something that is new.

   B. Something that is right.

   C. Something that is formal.

   D. Something that is powerful.

27. What does the author think about her job?

   When I went away to college,I chose to go to a large school in another state in an attempt to never again see those popular girls,the ones who drove quiet girls like me headlong into the arms of dusty books.

   Since I didn't know a soul at this university,I volunteered for a dub to make friends. That's how I ended up one winter evening standing outside the student union,waiting for the night's famous speaker to drive up. My assignment was to escort (护送)her to the auditorium where her fans eagerly waited to hear Maya Angelou,author of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.

   As showtime neared,Angelou's car pulled up. When its door opened,Angelou and a female friend exited,each wearing head-to-toe fur coats. I nervously guided the pair inside. Angelou was ready to sweep onstage,but first,there was her fur coat. I offered to babysit it backstage to make sure it was safe.

   “No,” she said. She looked out at the audience. “You need to get out there and live."

   So I found a front-row seat and heard,for the first time,a book come alive in an author's own voice. The audience clapped and cheered as they went along on the ride of this performance.

   I wish I could say that my life changed then. But out of college,I went deeper into my interior self,taking a job that required little human contact. A few years later,I became a newspaper editor,which required talking to "many people. For those times,I depended on index(索引) cards. But I reminded myself that Angelou hadn't used notes.

   Today,I'm in my 50s. I am speaking comfortably about what I really know to be true. I get out there now and live.

24. What kind of person did the author use to be?

   A. Brave. B. Kind.

   C. Careless. D. Shy.

25. Why did Angelou decline the author's offer to take care of her fur coat?

   A. She wouldn’t trust a stranger with it.

   B. She thought it was the duty of her assistant.

   C. She wanted the author to enjoy the performance.

   D. She thought it was safe enough to put it backstage.

26. Soon after graduating from college,the author.

   A. found a job as a newspaper editor

   B. kept shutting herself in her own world

   C. changed a lot under Angelou's influence

   D. felt more confident when speaking in public

27. What would be the best title for the text?

   A. Get out there and live

                                     Fitting in fitness 

   Do you find excuses not to exercise? . 36 Here are a few ways to get you going.

   Do what you love.

   The easiest way to fall into the habit of doing exercise is to choose an activity you enjoy — one that doesn't feel like exercise,even though it is. 37 If you play to your strengths,you’ 11 find fitness activities you can enjoy for years.

   Choose your hour.

   Studies have shown that people who work out in the morning are most likely to stick with a routine. By doing exercise before the day starts,they can avoid the last-minute scheduling conflicts. But if you* re not a morning person,choose whatever time works best for you. 38 

   Call it by another name.

   39 If it's something you have to do anyway 一 like washing the car or planting some bushes in the yard 一 you’ 11 achieve two goals at once.

   Partner up.

   Exercise is more flin when you do it with others. 40 On days when your motivation is low,you’ re more likely to stick with the programme to avoid disappointing your exercise partners. You can also train with an expert. A personal trainer will help you set goals,design a personalized fitness programme,and vary your routine to keep it challenging.

   A. Ask yourself: what am I good at?

   B. Make fitness part of your social routine.

   C. If you* re in top form from noon to 1 pm,aim for a lunchtime workout.

   D. For example,you can join a running,walking,hiking,biking or tennis club.

   E. If a damp T-shirt is not your idea of a good time,try gentler forms of exercise.

   F. Would you rather do anything else — even sort your socks or clean the fridge?

   G. Substitute some challenging household activity for the standard exercise routine.
