You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?
Jane Addams（1860﹣1935）
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community（社区）by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson（1907﹣1964）
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist (存在) today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O'Connor（1930﹣present）
When Sandra Day O'Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator（参议员） and in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O'Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks（1913﹣2005）
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rasa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgmery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and started the civil rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in.” said

If you do not use your arm or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame (该受责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practice remembering.
14. The main reason why one has poor memory is that ________. A. his father or mother may have a poor memory B. He does not use his name or legs for some time C. his memory is not often used D. he can’t read or write
15. In many people’s eyes, a person’s memory depends largely on ________. A. the practice B. enough chance C. his parents D. his muscles

A. they have save much trouble

When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation. I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories. “We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”
I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays”, because the Spanish word for “holidays” is “vacaciones”. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said “VACANCIES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!
We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word “DIVERSION” on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.
English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French. I was expecting him to give me more. However, to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, thank you.”
18. The author suggested that they stay at bed and breakfast houses because ______. A. they would be able to practice their English B. it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels C. it would be convenient for them to have meals
D. there would be no problem about finding accommodation there 19．“NO VACANCIES” in English means _______.
A. no free rooms B. free rooms C. not away on holiday D. away on holiday 20. If you see a road sign that says “Diversion” in England, you will ______. A. fall into a hole B. have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself

It has been around for centuries, but up until very recently, traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） wasn’t fully accepted abroad. Proof of this can be found in The Treatment （《刮痧》）, a 2001 film that tells the story of a Chinese man in the US who is accused of abuse (虐待) after he uses guasha, a form of TCM treatment, to cure his grandson’s disease.
During the last 10 years or so, however, TCM has been getting increasingly popular all over the world. According to a report by the State Council Information Office on Dec. 6, this style of health care, which includes different forms like herbal medicine and exercise, has spread to 183 countries and regions.
“We have set up 10 TCM centers outside China, and all of them are popular among locals,” Wang Guoqiang, head of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, announced in public on Dec 6. “Governments of 86 countries and regions have signed agreements with the Chinese government on TCM corporation.”
One of the reasons behind the growing popularity of TCM is the increase of scientific research into it. After Tu Youyou, the Chinese scientist who discovered the anti-malaria （抗疟疾） drug qinghaosu （青蒿素） won the Nobel Prize in 2015, TCM became even more famous internationally.
However, all these achievements in TCM don’t mean that it’s problem-free. Over the years, TCM has faced challenges in being able to prove that it has certain effects. Some researchers have suggested TCM should be more exact and work together with Western medicine.
“Bringing together with Western medicine and TCM, rather than being in competition, is where the potential for great effects is,” said Bernhard Schwartlander, the China representative of the World Health Organization.
22. The film The Treatment is mentioned in the first paragraph to ________. A. introduce the film to readers
B. prove that TCM is not fully accepted in western countries C. show TCM is increasingly popular
D. arouse readers’ interest in Western medicine
23. What is true about Tu Youyou’s success according to the passage? A. It shows that TCM is exact in curing all diseases. B. It contributes to the popularity of TCM.
C. It proves that TCM still needs to face some problems. D. It has set an example for doctors to follow.
24. According to Bernhard Schwartlander, TCM should ________.
