单选题She once said: "When people ask me if writing has been a hard or easy road I always answer with the famous saying, 'the end is nothing; the road is all.' That is what I mean when I say writing has been a pleasure. I have never faced the typewriter(打字机) with the thought that one more task had to be done." Like most writers, Willa Cather did not write books for the money that they brought her, but rather for the pleasure that came in their writing. Her works were, like her, simple and full of the vigor(活力) of her days in Nebraska, where she grew from childhood to young womanhood and where she developed a deep love for the treeless land of the Great Plains with its wild flowers, wheat fields and rivers. "It's a rather strange thing about the flat country," she wrote later. "It takes hold of you, or it leaves you perfectly cold. A great many people find it very dull; they like a church tower, an old factory, a waterfall, country all made to look like a German Christmas card ... But when I come to the open plains, something happens. I'm home I breathe differently./

单选题 Glynis Davis: I first piled on the pounds when I was in the family way and I couldn't lose them afterwards. Then I joined a slimming(瘦身) club. My target was 140 pounds and I lost 30 pounds in six months. I felt great and people kept saying how good I looked. But Christmas came and I started to slip back into my old eating habits. I told myself I'd lose the weight at slimming classes in the New Year... But it didn't happen. Instead of losing the pounds, I put them on. I'd lost will-power and tried to believe that the odd bags of fish and chips didn't make any difference but the scales don't lie. Roz Juma: To be honest, I never weigh myself any more -- I've learnt to be happy with myself. It seemed to me that I would feel sorry about every spoonful of tasty food that passed my lips. My idea is simple. You shouldn't be too much thinking about food and dieting. Instead, you should get on with life and stop dreaming of a superthin body. This is obviously the size I meant to be and, most of all, I'm happy with it. Lesley Godwin: I was very happy after winning Young Slimmer of the Year. I'd look in the mirror, unable to believe this slim lady was me! That might trove been my problem -- perhaps from then on I didn't pay any attention to myself. Winning a national competition makes everything worse, though, because you feel the eyes of the world are fixed upon you. I feel a complete failure because I've put on weight again.

单选题What if you were having a heart attack, but no one believed you? A new study of 515 female heart-attack survivors (aged 29 to 97) reveals that this happens all too often. In the study, 95% said they knew something was seriously wrong a month or more before their heart attack, but none of their doctors had even told them that they had heart disease. And when their heart attack happened, fewer than 30% had chest pain or discomfort, the classic warning signs that most emergency room physicians and nurses look for. One study volunteer in her mid-30s had a heart attack while driving her children to school. "She had repeatedly sought help for early warning symptoms," says study author Jean McSweeney of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Despite abnormal cardiac stress test results, she got no treatment. Two weeks later, she nearly died. Here are the signs that a heart attack may be weeks away: extreme fatigue, disturbed sleep, shortness of breath, and/or anxiety. "If a woman has risk factors for a heart attack and suddenly has unusual symptoms, she needs to tell the doctor that they're interfering with her everyday activities," McSweeney says. "Be sure of it./

单选题Ann Curry is a famous news presenter of the NBC News "Today" show. When she was 15 she happened to walk into a bookstore in her hometown and began looking at the books on the shelves. The man behind the counter, Mac McCarley, asked if she'd like a job. She needed to start saving for college, so she said yes. Ann worked after school and during summer vacations, and the job helped pay for her first year of college. During college she would do many other jobs: She served coffee in the student union (学生会), was a hotel maid and even made maps for the US Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying jobs. One day a woman came into the bookstore and asked Ann for books on cancer. The woman seemed anxious. Ann showed her practically everything they had and found other books they could order. The woman left the store less worried, and Ann has always remembered the pride she felt in having helped her customer. Years later, as a television reporter in Los Angeles, Ann heard about a child who was born with problems with his fingers and his hand. His family could not afford a surgical (外科的) operation, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket all the time. Ann persuaded her boss to let her do the story. After the story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the surgical operation for free. Ann visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing the boy did was to hold up his repaired hand and say "Thank you." What a sweet sense of satisfaction Ann Curry felt! At McCarley's bookstore, Ann always sensed she was working for the customers, not the store. Today it's the same. NBC News pays her, but she feels as if she works for the people who watch the programs, helping them make sense of the world.

单选题Most of the animals have little connection with animals of a different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership which is good for both of them. You may see some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites(寄生虫)on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they move the cause of discomfort. So although they can live without each other, they do better together. Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot live without each other. This is so in the corals(珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins there are tiny plants which act as "dustmen", taking some of the waste products from the corals and giving in return oxygen(氧气) which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are even prevented from receiving light so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.
