I used to sit in front of the TV in my family’s living room, imitating what the presenters said on the morning shows. I knew one day I would move to New York City to work in television.‎ So when I got a job at one of the three big networks in New York at the age of 24, I was elated. This was where I had always wanted to be. I spent the next 12 years in a variety of roles at the same company. I had the perfect arrangement that most people thought - a job for life. "You're so lucky" was what I heard over and over again. And I was.‎ But I also started to notice cracks (裂缝) in the media world I had come to love so much. A new kind of competition cropped up in the form of social media and new digital media. News was changing. I knew I couldn't stay where I was; I must accept the change and be part of creating it. When I told my colleagues that I was thinking about leaving the network and going to work at an online start-up, I got a lot of crazy looks. "Why would you make such a risky move?""What if it fails?""You can‘t be seriously considering this.”‎ I didn't listen to their advice because I knew not every good experience is defined(定义) by success or failure. Sometimes it’s about running the risk pushing the limits and having faith in an idea. What would the world be like today if we only acted when we could see the outcome?‎ Our new online company, Huffpost Live, has been on the air for several months and is doing amazingly well. I didn't listen when people told me to take the safe route. I’m proud that I didn't take the advice of the so-called experts and chose to make the change.‎ ‎19.

The boredom in the media industry. B. The rapid development of new media.‎ C. The bad relationship with her colleagues. D. The large amount of work in the company.‎ ‎21. What can we infer about the author?‎ A. She had no experience of failure. B. She didn't mind what others said.‎ C. She acted after knowing the outcome. D. She had a better understanding of success.‎ ‎22. What did the author think of her decision?‎ A. She wasn't sure of that. B. She had taken great risks.‎ C. She felt regret about that. D. She made a right decision.‎ ‎ C Starting the day on an egg could keep your blood pressure(血压) under control，research suggests. Scientists have shown that eggs produce proteins with a function similar to that of powerful blood pressurelowering drugs.‎ The research，from the University of Alberta in Canada，showed that when eggs come in contact with stomach enzymes(酶) they produce a protein that acts in the same way as ACE inhibitors，but more work is needed to show the effects outside a lab and in the human body.‎ Earlier this month，British researchers declared that，contrary to popular beliefs，it is healthy to go to work on an egg. They concluded that the type of cholesterol(胆固醇) found in eggs has little effect on increasing heart disease risks.‎ Researcher Professor Bruce Griffin，from the University of Surrey，said, “The wrong beliefs linking eggeating to high blood cholesterol and heart disease must be corrected. The amount of fat in our diet has an effect on blood cholesterol that is several times greater than the relatively small amounts of cholesterol found in eggs. The UK public do not need to be limiting the number of eggs they eat. They can be encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they are one of nature's most nutritious foods.”‎ The British Heart Foundation dropped its threeeggaweek limit in 2005. However，almost half of Britons believe the limit still applies.‎ ‎23．From the text we know that “ACE inhibitors” are ________．‎ A．a kind of medicine B．a kind of protein C．a kind of illness D．a kind of food ‎24．According to what Professor Bruce said，eggs ________．‎ A．are the most nutritious food B．have no effect on blood cholesterol C．can be included in a healthy diet D．are forbidden to be eaten in the UK ‎25．The text is meant ________．‎ A．to introduce scientific findings about eggs ‎ B．to introduce a medicine made from eggs C．to tell people how to lower their blood pressure ‎ D．to advise people to eat as many eggs as possible III.阅读七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Are you sometimes stressed?

They said they would have liked to be friends sooner.‎ I told Margy that I would have been more concerned if she had been a(n) 40 social success in her new school. That, to me, would have been the 41 that she had betrayed her 42 self in order to become popular.
