Jennifer Mauer has needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal
of earning a nursing degree. That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of
Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's degree.
Mauer grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the
farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school Jennifer attended a local technical
college，working to pay her tuition（学费）,because there was no extra money set aside for a
college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their
schooling.
Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to
advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves：
nursing. She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield
because she was able to pursue her four — year degree close to home. She could drive to class and
be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jennifer received great support from her family as she
worked to earn her degree. Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68-year-old
mother helped take care of the children at times.
Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer
sacrificed （牺牲）to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important
events to study. "Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying
for exams or papers," she says. However, her children have learned an important lesson witnessing
their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family
and that's pretty powerful.

There are many differences between British English and American English. I used to teach a
course about the differences between the two. We speak English on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean
but we have many differences in our common language. We have examples of the same words
having very different meanings, differing spellings of the same words as well as completely different
words for the same things. Here are some examples .
A cookie in the US is called a biscuit in the UK. A biscuit in the US is a small cake in the UK.
Crisps in the UK, are known as chips, but we British people eat a plate of chips that you call fries in
the US. In the UK, a pie can be made from either meat or fruit，while in the US pies are normally
made from fruit； pot pies are made from meat. Most things are measured in grams and kilograms
in the US, not pounds and ounces .
One very obvious difference is the side of the road we each choose to drive on. Petrol in the UK
is gas in the US. The place where we fill up our cars, in the UK, is a garage；while in the US, it's a
gas station. The term garage is also used as a place to store your car next to or close by your house
・ In the UK we call a lorry what is known as a truck in the US.
An elevator in the US is called a lift here, and the first floor in the US, is called the ground floor
here, so many visitors get off on the wrong floor in British hotels.
I could continue with this. There are countless examples of differences within our one shared
language. With so many differences, no wonder it's hard to understand each other well.
5. The passage is mainly about the differences between British English and American English in
A. vocabulary B. grammar C. sound D. spelling
6 . It's implied in the passage that the author may be_________________.
A. a driver from the US B. a cook from the US
C. a teacher from the UK D. a gas station worker from the
UK
7. In the author's opinion,____________________.
A. language differences don't affect understanding
B. the same words in the two different types of English may have different spellings
C. there will be fewer differences between American and British English in the future
D. it is impossible that some Americans get off on the wrong floor in British hotels
8. What can we learn from the passage?
A. "Elevator" is commonly used in the UK.
B. Pies mean the same thing in the UK and the US.
C. In the UK, things are measured in pounds and ounces.
D. British and American people drive on the same side of the road.

During a small earthquake, you will feel a little shaking. Pictures hanging on the walls might
move back and forth. Dishes might rattle （发 出响声 ）inside the kitchen cabinet. A lamp might
possibly fall and break.
In a very strong earthquake, you might be thrown upward or down to the ground. Cracks might
appear in the ground. Windows might be broken. Buildings and bridges might fall down. People
might be injured or even killed. Strong earthquakes often suddenly break electric wires. That means
electric lights and machines will not work. Water pipes sometimes break, so people have no water to
drink. Pipes that carry natural gas and tanks that hold petrol and dangerous chemicals can break and
start fires.
Aftershocks（余震）are mini-quakes that come after the main part of an earthquake. They can
cause even more damage. Aftershocks are especially dangerous for rescue workers who have gone
into ruined buildings to help people who are trapped inside. The buildings can collapse, trapping the
