4.I was studying chemistry at college because my family thought it was the key to
success. One day, my professor took me aside and asked a very simple question, "Why are you in my class when it's obvious that you have little or no      1      in chemistry? "
I came up with an explanation by      2      pressure from my dad, but he knew it was just a /an      3      excuse. He gave me the following advice.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8."Success can only be measured by oneself, and each of us is      4      . Your success
will not be the same as mine, as your neighbor's or your parents'. There is no secret formula(公式), no examination you have to      5      , and no guarantee, but there is a secret ingredient—      6      . To be successful in life in the broadest sense, you must pursue your passion. 7 it is fixing cars or exploring the world, you must be passionate about your 8 and set a path to achieve it. Only then will you find
true      9      ."
Since I was just nineteen years old, that was pretty profound advice to      10      , but
I knew instinctively (本能地)that he was 11  . I made a conscious self-examination of my short life to 12 where my passion was hiding. It was
so      13      that even my kid sister could have told me my true passion was music. It
was in my genes. I could play the piano by ear, but had      14      considered music as a hobby.
Could I be a successful musician? Or a
songwriter? Or a music critic? There was only one
way to find out, so I took my
professor's 15 and switched to the
university's music school. I studied harmony and
composition, learned how to play a clarinet(单簧管) and      16      the symphony orchestra. I felt as though I was on top of the world, and that      17      has never left me.
I'm now fifty-four years old, and a very happy and      18      man. As I look at the walls of my small office, I still get a thrill at seeing the records I      19      , the photos of
the famous musicians I was lucky enough to play with, and the praises from many of the finest instrumentalists in the world who I am honored to call my friends.
Life was a long journey, and not a/an      20      one, but I followed my passion and succeeded.

三、阅读理解(每题2分,共15题,计30分)
5.Everyone at Pacsafe is always eager to get out in the world and enjoy new cultures,
food, and experiences. With that in mind we asked a few of our top travel bugs for their
best travel destination recommendations for 2019. They also included their favorite
Pacsafe bag to take on the trip. Enjoy and hopefully get some ideas for your own globe-
trotting adventure.
Sri Lanka—Alison Hanko, Global Marketing Director
I'm going to Sri Lanka this summer holiday and can't wait. It's close to Hong Kong where I live and I've always wanted to go. The food is supposed to be amazing. It seems
really relaxing and I really want to do the Kandy to Badulla train ride, which looks just
stunning. We've booked a good mix of beaches, some time in a safari tent to hopefully
see elephants in the wild.
For my bag, I'll most likely take the Quiksilver 40L Pack because it has the built-in wet pack for my bikinis. It's also a great size for a week-long trip in a warm climate.
Japan—Ben Barras, Creative Director
Japan is definitely my best travel destination recommendation. The culture, the streets, the architectur
e, the inspiration you get from all of that is amazing. The food is
also fascinating. It's where I'm most planning to go. Tokyo obviously, but also visiting
the mountains. You can go snowboarding, which I haven't done for years.
/
/A.The Quiksilver 40L Pack.
B.The Vibe 25L Backpack.
C.The Quiksilver X Collab Bag.
D.25L Anti-theft Backpack.
(1)A.Sri Lanka.  B.Japan.  C.Hong Kong.  D.Berlin.
(2)A.Beautiful beaches.
B.Amazing food.
C.Fascinating art.
D.Cool snowboarding.
(3)A.B.C.D.(4)I have a Vibe 25L Backpack which you can pack a lot in. The thing I like most about it is that it's compact, but still fits plenty in. I'll pair that up with a larger travel bag for the rest of my things and use the backpack to get around day to day.
Berlin—Phil Hayes, Executive VP of Global Design
For me, it's definitely Berlin. I'm particularly excited about the fashion, which I hear is pretty full on. Also the art galleries and history. Food, nightlife. Everything I've heard about Berlin is pretty cool, so I'm going to suck as much as I can out of it. World's Global Style Network had the Berlin shopping list that came out recently, so I'm going to follow that through as well.
Bag wise, it will be the Quiksilver X Collab Bag. It's the 25L Anti-theft Backpack. It's normally my go-to bag for city trips because it's super easy to lock on the plane and in bars, and it's just the right amount of space.
Which of the Pacsafe bag is a good choice for beach travel?
If you are interested in fashion, which destination should you choose?
What can you enjoy in all the three places mentioned?
The main purpose of the passage is to            .
share personal travelling experiences
offer practical tips on taking adventure
present cultures in different countries
recommend favorable travel destinations
6.On March 25, 2010, Kate and David heard the words every parent dreads: Their
newborn wasn't going to make it. Their twins—a girl and a boy—were born two minutes apart and 14 weeks premature, weighing just over two pounds each. Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minutes but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone,and he'd stopped breathing. The baby had just moments to live.
"I saw him gasp (喘息), but the doctor said it was no use, " Kate told the Daily Mail five years later. "I know it sounds stupid, but if he was still gasping, that was a sign of life. I wasn't going to give up easily."
/A.B.
C.
D.(1)A.B.C.D.(2)A.The Power of Hug.
B.The Miracle of Love.
C.The Bond Between Twins.
D.The Responsibility of Parents.
(3)Still, the couple knew this was likely a goodbye. In an effort to cherish her last minutes with the tiny boy, Kate asked to hold him.
"I wanted to meet him, and for him to know us, " Kate told Today . "We'd resigned ourselves to the fact
that we were going to lose him, and we were just trying to make the most of those last, precious moments."
Kate unwrapped the boy, whom the couple had already named  J amie, from his hospital blanket and asked David to take his shirt off and join them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to-skin contact would improve his condition. They also talked to him.
"We were trying to persuade him to stay, " Kate told the Daily Mail . "We explained his name and that he had a twin that he had to look out for and how hard we had tried to have him."
Then something miraculous happened. Jamie gasped again—and then he started breathing. Finally, he reached for his father's finger.
The couple's lost boy had made it.
"We're the luckiest people in the world, " David told Today .
Eight years later, Jamie and his sister, Emily, are happy and healthy. The couple only recently told the kids the story of their birth. "Emily burst into tears, " Kate said. "She was really upset, and she kept hug
ging Jamie. This whole experience makes you cherish them more."
What can we learn about the newborn babies?
The boy's heart had stopped beating.
The boy was 2 minutes older than the girl.
The twins were born 14 weeks before the due date.
The twins were expected to live for only 20 minutes.
When the couple knew they would lose the boy, they            .
begged the doctor to save him
took his shirt off and then put him in bed
wrapped him with his blanket to keep him warm
talked to him and made close physical contact with him
What's the best title for the passage?
