10、l Phelps, or Mark Zuckerberg. Unfortunately, my version of reality did not quite line up with this delusional vision. I was a good swimmer, but I peaked at the collegiate State Championships level. My academic record was pretty solid, but I never would have made it into one of those ivy-league schoo

11、ls. Though I rose to above-average status in a couple of areas, the disappointing truth was that I would never amount to anything more than a mid-sized fish in a small pond. God apparently had other plans. What drove me crazy, though, was the superstar talent thrown in my face at every turn. Some fo

12、lks just seemed to get an unfair intensive dose (剂量) of it.

17、 in an attempt to cut down on plastic waste. The Danish toymaker has promised to make all its bricks from sustainable (可持续的) sources by 2030 and is investing significant resources into finding alternatives. Tim Brooks, vice-president responsible for sustainability, said the company was “totally open

18、” to the idea of a product rental plan but admitted that lost pieces could produce a significant problem. “What are the chances of giving them to an eight-year-old child and getting them all back again?” Mr. Brooks added. “There is a lot of technical thinking that needs to be done. We are right at b

19、eginning of that.” Mr. Brooks said Lego was exploring several ideas with a view to producing the highest value from products while consuming the least amount of resources. He said many would “probably never see the light of day” and there was no current plan to try out a rental plan. Lego has come u

20、nder increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint among growing international alarm about the impact of plastic waste on the environment. It produces 19 billion pieces per year36, 000 a minutethat are made entirely of plastic while much of the inside packaging is also plastic. So far, the only

21、 breakthrough has been the development of a line of bricks made from plant-based plastic sourced from sugarcane. The green trees, plants and flowers were first included in Lego sets late last year but make up only 1%-2% of the total amount of plastic elements produced. Henrik Nielson, a production s

25、tives? ADefensive. BDetermined. CDisapproving. DDoubtful. D How affordable is high culture? One great myth of our time is that tickets for opera, theatre, ballet and orchestral (管弦乐) concerts are too expensive, especially for the young. This is infuriating as, in Britain, at least, the claim is ridi

26、culous and offensive. The cheap tickets to hear Londons orchestras range from 7 to 9 same as a cinema ticket, and lower than the entry price to many pop music and comedy clubs. For comparison, when the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra performs with top soloists and conductors the cheapest seat is

27、30; and at the Berlin Philharmonic, its an expensive 46. Finding cheap tickets to the opera and ballet isnt so easy. True. British companies dont charge the ridiculous high prices found on the Continent (2,000 for a good seat at a premiere of La Scalas Carmen last December), but the tickets are stil

28、l pretty steep. Large fees paid to star performers mostly account for that. Luckily, however, one spectacular technological innovation has transformed the scene. Its live (or slightly delayed) cinema transmissions. The New York Metropolitan Opera now beams its shows to 800 cinemas round the world, a

No, its not the same as

30、 being there, but its almost as good. The sound is incredible. The images, particularly of dancers, are fantastic. And you can react to the show as part of a live audience, rather than sitting on your own at home. To me, this mountain of evidence, together with free museum admissions, indicates that

31、 the arts world should stop worrying that its audiences are still mostly middle-class. Anyone who can afford to visit a pub can also afford to see top-quality drama, music and dance. The real battle now should be ensuring that school children are given enough tastes of high culture to make them want

32、 to buy all those cheap tickets when they grow up. 12What does the underlined word “infuriating“ in paragraph 1 mean? AQuite interesting. BVery annoying. CNot certain. DExtremely obvious. 13What is the main reason for expensive opera tickets? AThe amount of money charged by top performers. BThe cost

36、friend, our world would be a wilderness. What kind of friends should we pick? What are the dos and donts of friendship? Here are some of my opinions. 17 We may consider different people we meet every day to be nice and feel like making friends with them. However, not all good people are matches for

37、us. Rather than make friends with the popular students, we should spend time with those we have things in common with, or who will be there to listen to us.

38、 No one is perfect. 18 Therefore, we should try to understand our friends and be patient with them when they make mistakes since were all on a journey to being better people. Gradually, our friendships will last longer and become more solid. Be honest. 19 However, its better to be honest with friend

39、s, to tell them what is bothering us and seek their advice. Being honest will not annoy your friends, but it will bring you and your friend closer together. We need to be open-minded.
