单选题I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn't think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull. I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words. It takes confidence to make a new start—there's a dark period in-between where you're neither one thing nor the other. You're out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you're too ashamed to say, "Well, I'm writing a novel, but I'm not quite sure if I'm going to get there. " My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside. Then I met an agent(代理商) who said t should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel. The next problem was finding a publisher. After two and a half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal—that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for. It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck—of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there's no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract (合同) of the publisher—to be a published writer—is unbelievably rewarding(有回报的).

单选题Students come to study in UK from all over the world. There are currently more than 270,000 international students in the UK. Of that number, about 75% are on higher education courses, with 130,500 (almost equal numbers of men and women) studying full-time undergraduate courses.
Why do they come here? Why should you consider doing the same? First, you will gain a high quality qualification that is recognized worldwide. Thousands of international students have used their UK qualifications to get a good job. Just make sure that if you have a particular job and qualification in mind you check before you apply that the qualification will be recognized by employers in your own country.
Second, if English is not your mother tongue, you will probably be completely fluent by the time you graduate.
One of other reasons for studying here is the ease of UK application system. Instead of applying to several different universities or colleges, taking their admissions tests and paying their application fee, you can do it all on one form. You may choose up to six courses. Send the form to the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) and their staffwill deal with the application for you.
If your school, college or nearest British Council office has access to the system, you can even complete the form electronically through the Internet.
单选题I find it annoying and funny when I think about how we use protective or decorative wrappings (装饰性包装) in this country. When I come home from the supermarket and start to unpack, I am always shocked at the layers of wrappings we cover our food with. There is hardly anything we buy that doesn't come in at least two wrappings, and then several of them are gathered by the shop assistant and put into a small bag. Then several of the small bags are grouped together and put into a big bag. If you have several big bags with small bags in them, they give you a cardboard box to put the packages-in-the-little-bags-in-the-big-bags in. A lot of things we buy wouldn't really need any protective wrapping at all. The skin of an orange protects an orange pretty well for most of its natural life, but we aren't satisfied with what nature has given it. We wrap them in plastic or put them in a net bag, and then in a paper bag. The orange inside the skin, inside the plastic which is in the paper bag, must wonder where it is. A box of biscuits often has waxed paper (蜡纸) next to the biscuits, a cardboard box holding the food and then a decorative wrapping around it. A relative of ours bought a new sofa recently because she liked the fine leather(皮革) it was covered with. She liked it so much that she didn't want it to get dirty, so she bought a cloth cover to put over it. We may never again see the leather she's protecting.

Thurgood Marshall is one of the most
well-known individuals in the history of the civil rights movement in America.
He was born on July 2, 1908 in Baltimore, Maryland, to a dining room steward and
a school teacher. He was not born to wealthy parents. His education began in the
public schools in Baltimore and he attended college at Lincoln University. After
graduation from college, he entered Howard University Law School and graduated
with honors at the age of twenty-five. Marshall began his law
career in Baltimore and represented the poor and the weak in legal matters. The
NAACP became aware of his legal abilities and asked him to join their staff.
Marshall won thirty-two of the thirty-five cases he argued before the Supreme
Court during the time he worked with the NAACP. In 1961, he became a member of
the United States Second Court of Appeals. Four years later, he was appointed
Solicitor General and was the first black to hold this position in the history
of United States. Finally, he was appointed to the Supreme Court of the United
States in 1967 and was the first black to be appointed to the highest court in
the United States. Marshall served in this position until his retirement in
1991. He died at the age of 84. Thurgood Marshall will be
remembered for his involvement in the civil rights movement and for paving the
way for much of the progress in civil rights. His dedication to the
understanding and defense of the United States Constitution has touched all of
our lives in so many ways.
