【题目】 I thought I was pretty good at teaching myself—until I read Tara Westover’s Educated. Her ability to learn on her own blows my right out of the water. I was thrilled to sit down with her recently to talk about the book.

Tara was raised in a Mormon survivalist home in rural Idaho. Her dad had very non mainstream views about the government. He believed doomsday was coming and that the family should interact with the health and education systems as little as possible. As a result, she didn’t step foot in a classroom until she was 17, and major medical crises went untreated. (Her mother suffered a brain injury in a car accident and never fully recovered).

Because Tara and her six siblings worked at their father’s junkyard from a young age, none of them received any kind of proper homeschooling. She had to teach herself algebra and self-studied for the ACT, which she did well enough on to gain admission to Brigham Young University. Eventually, she earned her doctorate in intellectual history from Cambridge University.

Educated is an amazing story and I get why it’s spent so much time on the top of the New York Times bestseller list. It reminded me in some ways of the Netflix documentary Wild. Wild Country, which I recently watched. Both explore people who remove themselves from society because they have these beliefs and knowledge that they think make them more enlightened. Their belief systems benefit from their separateness, and you’re forced to be either in or out.

But unlike Wild, Wild Country—which revels in the strangeness of its subjects. Tara is never cruel, even when she’s writing about some of her father’s most fringe beliefs. It’s clear that her whole family, including her mom and dad, is energetic and talented. Whatever their ideas are, they pursue them.

Tara’s process of self-discovery is beautifully captured in Educated. It’s the kind of book that I think everyone will enjoy, no matter what genre you usually pick up.

【1】What does the author think of Tara’s self-teaching?

A.unbelievableB.not badC.doubtableD.impossible

【2】Which of the following about Tara’s family is true?

A.There are altogether six children in the family.

B.Tara’s dad often holds mainstream beliefs about the government.

C.They are a Mormon family living in the urban area of Idaho.

D.Tara did not receive formal education until 17.

【3】Why does the author mention Wild, Wild Country in the text?

A.To highlight that Educated is an amazing story worth reading.

B.To analyze the content of it.

C.To show that Educated is one the top of The New York Times bestseller list.

D.To introduce a documentary to the reader.

【4】What genre does Educated belong to?

A.novelB.science fictionC.biographyD.news report

【题目】 Many parents see business ownership as a better bet for their kids' future than a graduate degree. Some parents described it as the opportunity to control their fortunes and have a chance to get wealth.【1】. In fact, setting a child up in business is surely one big test of that bond. It is probably risky: small-business failures are common, and parents risk losing their entire investment, their life savings, or more. They also risk having their relationships with young- adult children intent at this stage on independence.【2】. Jon Kelecy's father set him up recently in a franchise (加盟店). Jon, 26, loves the work and appreciates his dad's support. But he dislikes "being in his father's pocket" in spite of all the anxiety of a start-up.

Many parents choose franchises for their kids because they seem to offer marketing, branding and management support.【3】. One mother lost $250, 000 when a fast-food franchise she purchased for her son filed, Mr. Bundy says. In another case, parents lost 8350.000 on a coffee-shop business they financed for their daughter.【4】. “As a parent, the best git you can ever receive is to see your children happy and successful, and equipped to make a living," Marvin Himel says.

【5】. Some structured it as a loan and delayed repayment. Others took stock in the business, with an agreement that their child would use future earnings to buy it back. Some parents look farther ahead, hoping their children's business will support them in retirement.

A.I's hard for children to make a choice

B.A few viewed it as a long-term investment

C.The setups can be stressful for young adults, too

D.But start-up business costs quite a lot, and has high risks

E.Parents often say they would do anything for their children

【题目】 Art—no matter whether you choose to create it yourself or simply observe and enjoy it—is a relaxing and inspiring activity for many people. However, the particular benefits of artistic expression go much further.

Studies suggest that art therapy (疗法) can be very valuable in treating issues such as depression and anxiety disorder. It is a great way to express your emotions without words, process complex feelings and find relief.

You don’t necessarily have to see a therapist in order to experience some of the benefits of artistic expression. There are many simple activities you can try from the comfort of your home such as art journaling, drawing, making collections, sculpting with clay, etc. It doesn’t matter what media you choose. The only thing that matters is that you feel comfortable using it. Human beings are naturally creative, and all you need to do to complete an art therapy activity successfully is to be with yourself and your emotions. Once you free your creativity, your inner artist will quickly wake up.

However, working with a licensed therapist also has its advantage because a professional can tailor each activity to your own needs. If the activities are done in a group, they are excellent for building healthy connections with other people, which may be very helpful if you are fighting depression.

Experts agree that art therapy has many benefits, from promoting your self-respect, and providing you a safe outlet to relieve your emotions, to giving you a sense of control over your life and helping you to get to know and understand yourself better. During the process of art creation, you will be taking yourself on a journey of self-discovery that will help you get rid of emotional roadblocks, and learn how to communicate with yourself and others.
