18．"Angie，I know you like to sing，"her father，a worker，told Angela Brown，"but you must have something to fall back on （依靠）．"
Brown took her father's advice．She got a degree in secretarial science before enering Oakwood College，in Huntsville，Alabama．However，her aim was to become a singer at religious meetings．So after graduation she headed for Indiana University to study with the famus soprano （女高音歌手） Virginia Zeani．
Once，when Brown was troubled by self-doubt，Zeani said to her，"If you want to be the next Aretha Franklin，you need no more lessons，"Brown remembers her saying．"But if you want to be the best Verdian soprano this world has ever seen，you must work．"
Work she did．Three times she competed in the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions （试演）．Three times she failed to make the final round in New York．Then，in 1997at age 33，the age limit for sopranos to audition，she gave it one more try．She signed up at the last minute and didn't even practice，thinking，"All they could do was to tell me no，and that didn't hurt my feelings anymore．"She had the strength she needed to fall back on if she failed．
She won．But making it in New York was just the beginning．It took her three more years to become an understudy （替角） at the Met．But waiting in the wings was fine with her．Finally，her time came．When the featured singer fell ill，Brown earned the chance to sing the lead role in Aida．And The New York Times described her performance as a great success．Angela Brown，who had prepared for 20years，was an"overnight"successful singer at age 40．

5．Are you nervous about climbing because you think it's too dangerous？Do you feel you're not fit enough to climb？Do you know how to start climbing？
Let's consider the idea that climbing is dangerous．Being afraid is natural，but if you use suitable ropes and other climbing equipment you will feel completely safe．Climbers are usually very careful because they know what they are doing is dangerous．Accidents happen，but when they do，they tend to attract a lot of publicity．As a result，people think there are many more accidents than there are in reality．
You cannot expect to start climbing straight away．Climbing is a challenge and challenges take time．It is necessary first of all that you achieve a good level of fitness．Begin as soon as you become interested in climbing-go to the gym，go swimming，take up jogging and continue to do so throughout your training period．
Discover as much as you can about climbing．Visit the library and find books especially for beginners or buy climbing magazines and look for articles which describe your situation．Look up information on the Internet．Find out about equipment，methods and places to go．
Next，take a course on a climbing wall．There are plenty of climbing walls all over the country which have trained and qualified people as instructors．Call your local leisure centre to find out if there is one in your area．These training sessions are a quick way to get experience and you are likely to meet other beginners．After this，you can do an outside course or join a club where you can meet climbers of all abilities and eventually join in group-climbing events．
At first you may not understand the importance of a good training period，but after you have completed your first climb and you are standing safely at the top of a rock feeling thrilled，then you will know it was the right thing to do．

A．a doctor

15．Jolly Joe always arrived at my neighborhood at exactly half past noon．The clang（叮当声） of the bell on his red and black truck was then the sweetest sound in the world．Brightly colored stickers advertising his amazing kinds of treats could be found on all sides of his truck．The whole neighborhood would magically come to life．
Holding a nickel（五分镍币），I'd run to the back of the vehicle，where children were already gathering．Jolly Joe．would jump out of his truck，the sun shining on his chair．He was an older man，short and round，with a pleasant face and a welcoming smile．
I don't know how，but he knew us all，by name，as well as which treats we preferred：My favorite was the Buried treasure．By eating all the ice cream，you'd discover the treasure inside：a lion，a dog or even a funny clown一printed onto a plastic stick．．
When it was finally my turn，he'd put his arm deep inside one of the boxes，and pause（停顿）for a moment，a moment，a puzzled look crossing his face．Then，suddenly，he'd pull it out：the Buried Treasure!I couldn't wait to enjoy the cool，sweet ice cream．
As quickly as he arrived，it was time for Jolly Joe to go，leaving behind laughing，excited children with sticky hands and faces．Soon the sound of his clanging bell would slowly disappear in the distance．
I always hated to see Jolly Joe go，because I knew the rest of the day would be as hot and boring as before．But I took some comfort in knowing that the next day he'd come round the corner at half past noon and once again spread his magic．

11．A study of 27，000men showed those skipping （不吃） breakfast were at a greater risk of heart problems．The British Heart Foundation said breakfast helped people resist （抵制） sugary snacks before lunch．
The men，aged 45-82，were studied for 16years．During that time there were more than 1，500heart attacks or cases of deadly heart failure．However，people who skipped breakfast were 27% more likely to have heart problems than those who started the day with a meal．The researchers took into consideration other lifestyle risk factors （因素） such as smoking and exercise．
Researcher Dr Leah Cahill told the BBC："The take-home message is to eat in the morning when you wake up，preferably within an hour．The results show that something is better than nothing，but it's always better to have something healthy and balanced．"
She said the timing of the meal seemed to be key and waiting until lunch rather than"having breakfast"may be straining （损伤） the body over time．This could be increasing the risk of high blood pressure and fatness which could in turn damage the heart．"Don't skip breakfast，"Dr Cahill suggested．
Victoria Taylor，an expert with the British Heart Foundation，said："These researchers only looked at men aged over 45，so we would need to see further research to prove that breakfast has the same effect on the heart health of other groups of people．What we do know is that a healthy breakfast can make that mid-morning biscuit less templing，as well as giving you another opportunity to widen the variety of foods in your diet．Cereals （谷类食品） with low fat milk are a good way to start the day．Try a banana or dried fruit on top and you'll be on your way to a fine day before you've even left the house．"

A．attractive B．valuable C．obvious D．familiar
55．According to Victoria Taylor，D．
A．men over 45are more likely to get heart diseases
B．fresh fruits like bananas are necessary for a healthy breakfast

12．Memory，they say，is a matter of practice and exercise．（16）C But even if you are successful，there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you．

（18）B Once in a while you remember not doing something，and then find out that you did．One day last month，for example，I was sitting in a barber（理发师）shop waiting for my turn to get a haircut，and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barber shop across the street from my office．
