2． I always wanted to be a scientist.When I found that summer research program，I thought I had found the perfect topic for my thesis（论文） and a stepping stone to my dream academic career.The position—measuring soil condition as part of an undergraduate research program—had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for.This was just the program I wanted and I wasn't going to consider other options.
Then came a rejection email.I felt lost and hopeless.Thinking the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career，I was also a little regretful.There had been more programs I could have applied for.But only later would I see that instead，it provided an exciting new direction to follow.
Not long after the rejection email，the professor running the research program invited me to observe the work being done in her lab.I jumped at the chance，and a few weeks later，she invited me to talk with her about potential thesis projects I could pursue in her lab.What she proposed didn't seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to，but I felt I wasn't in a position to be picky；this was a great opportunity and I was going to give it my all.
Then I found myself working with a robotics professor，and the work introduced me to a whole new way to think about my research direction.In the end，I had a thesis and a new scientific interest to pursue.
When I applied to graduate school，I decided I would be selective about the options I pursued rather than casting abroad net.I realized that rather than setting plans in stone，sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered，even if they don't sound exactly perfect at the time，and make the most of them.And I've learned to look at each rejection as are direction instead.
（1）What might the author regret after being rejected？
A．He should have chosen another major.
B．He should have applied for more programs.

C．Get involved in her research projects.
D．Put all efforts into research work.
（3）Which word can be used to describe the author？
A．Wise.
B．Honest.
C．Talented.
D．Picky.
（4）What message did the author want to convey？
A．To be a scientist is not really easy.
B．We should make one choice at a time.
C．To choose a research program is important.
D．We should learn to turn rejection into redirection.组卷：7引用：2难度：0.7 -
3． When he moved from South Africa to New York City，Norman Rosenthal noticed he felt more depressed during the cold，short days of the city's winters than he had in his home country.
"It was an illness hiding in plain sight because people said 'well that's how everyone feels in winter.' They didn't see it as treatable，" says Rosenthal，a doctor at Georgetown Medical School.
In 1984，he published the first paper to scientifically name the winter blues：Seasonal affective disorder （SAD），also called seasonal depression，was a type of depression brought on by the dark days of winter.Following studies have found that this form of depression varies by geography.And，surprisingly，about 10 percent of patients suffering from SAD have symptoms （症状） in the summertime instead.
"It's fairly accepted that the cause is a short photo-period — the number of hours from dawn to dusk，" says Kelly Rohan，a psychologist at the University of Vermont who specializes in the disorder. "It's the strongest predictor of when the symptoms begin."
But why，exactly，does less daylight seem to make some people clinically depressed？ "That's the million-dollar question，" says Rohan.One leading theory is that the change in daylight interrupts our bodies' release of a chemical element，which the brain releases every night to promote sleep.That is to say，there is a natural biological clock in our body controlling when we sleep and wake.Our clocks are reminded by morning light，but as the supply of daylight decreases in winter，the chemical element may be released later and wear off later，the theory suggests.That means， "that alarm clock might be going off in the morning，but the body is still in a state of biological night，" says Rohan.Even given that theory，she says it's still unclear why the interrupted biological clock can lead to depression，instead of just feeling worn out.
For those who think they may be experiencing SAD，experts say a professional diagnosis （诊断） is a vital first step toward treatment.
（1）Where is this text probably taken from？
A．A story collection.
B．A science magazine.
C．A health proposal.
D．An academic paper.
（2）Why did Rosenthal feel more depressed in New York in winter？
A．Because he missed his home.
B．Because the days there are shorter.
C．Because he caught a bad cold.
D．Because he had a hidden illness.
（3）What does the underlined word "It" refer to in Paragraph 4？
A．The cause.
B．The disorder.
C．The short photo-period.
D．The number of hours.
（4）What can we learn about SAD from the text？
A．SAD patients just feel tired out.
B．Everyone suffers from it in winter.
C．SAD patients are less likely to be cured.
D．It's probably caused by interrupted biological clock.组卷：2引用：3难度：0.3

Jack rushed down the stairs barefoot to check；he opened the door to the basement，and flames exploded out.Jack ran back upstairs to call 911 from his bedroom."I felt safe because the room had a separate outdoor stairway，"he explained.

Up a hill nearby lived Jack's neighbor，John.He was lying in bed when something like a smoke alarm struck his ears.He jumped out of bed，took his phone and flashlight，and headed down the hillside toward the noise.Thunder continued to shake the sky and lightening illustrated the house for seconds at a time，casting frightening shadows.Then he saw the heavy smoke rolling from his best friend' s house."Anyone there？"Jack called out.Then he heard"Help!I'm trapped!"coming from the second floor balcony.
