I stepped on the red carpet and smiled as the cameras rushed up to take pictures. I slowly walked into the large hall of my first Hollywood premiere(首映). I had designed the special effects for the hottest movie on the market. Later, a friend of mine came with a big smile on her face. “I’m sure you have never thought that you would be here,” she said excitedly. I calmly smiled back in return.
Having never had great opportunities, I’ve worked long and hard to create a bright future. Though I grew up in a poor family, I never doubted that my future goals would be connected with computers. In middle school I became the producer of a daily news television show.
My future goal became even more possible when a new high school in my area held a technology program created for students interested in technology related jobs. Through the program I was able to learn about computer design and gain experience through a part-time job with a local computer company. Whenever a new movie came out, I would find out the company which created the special effects for the movie. At the same time, I researched job positions on the Internet. The companies on the Internet suggested universities and degrees on their websites. I planned on studying Computer Science.
Though I didn’t give up my dreams, I continued to pay my attention to daily events. I took part in a large number of activities to broaden my view on life. I worked hard in school to develop my mind. I communicated with people who could give me advice about any problem I might meet along the way. And now, after years of preparation, my hard work is paying off. I know I have succeeded because I put my goals into action.
1.Why did the writer take part in the Hollywood premiere?

Should you work out in the gym in the morning instead of in the evening? It all depends. Of course, there are advantages of working out(运动) in the morning.
You will increase your energy for the rest of the day. “Morning workouts result in better energy levels throughout the day and give you more mental sharpness,” says Dr. Cedrie Byrant, Chief Science Officer of the American Council on Exercise.
Here is another advantage. In 2017, health researchers found that exercising in the morning helps you sleep better at night. According to the study, in all cases, those who exercised at 7:00am experienced about a 10 percent drop in blood pressure that carried through the rest of the day. They also had about a 25 percent drop in blood pressure at night, slept longer and had more beneficial sleep cycles than when they exercised at other times of the day.
However, there are disadvantages, too.
If you are not an early riser, getting out of the bed in the morning can be very difficult. Byran says that if you’re not used to exercising in the morning and force yourself to get up, you may not put as much effort into the exercise as you would later in the day. Also, if you aren’t careful, you can damage your sleep schedule, which can lead to insufficient sleep.
Besides, hitting the gym before work can cause a challenge in terms of scheduling. If you work a 9-to-5 job, getting ready for work and going to work can cut your morning workout short, Byrant notes.
To sum up, it has both advantages and disadvantages. If it suits you better to work out in the morning, you can do so.
1.What did health researchers find about working out in the morning in 2017?
A. It made you more tired at night. B. It was good for your sleep at night.
C. It increased your blood pressure. D. It led to better mental sharpness.
2.What does the underline word “insufficient” in Paragraph 5 means?
A. Not good. B. Uncomfortable.
C. Not enough. D. Unbroken.
3.According to Paragraph 6, if you do a 9-to-5 job , your morning workout ______ .
A. may have to suffer B. can benefit you greatly
C. is impossible to carry out D. makes you manage time better

Rosa Parks became famous in 1955 when she refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger in Montgomery, Alabama. She was important in the movement for civil rights（民权） in the American South during the 1950s and 60s. At the time, blacks in the South were forced to sit in the back of public buses and to give up their seats to white people.
Parks moved to Detroit, Michigan, in 1957 to escape death threats. She continued living in Detroit until her death in 2005, at age 92. But the house in Detroit where Parks lived for many years was abandoned and scheduled to be torn down. Her niece, Rhea McCauley, bought it for $500 to stop it from being destroyed. She then gave it to American artist, Ryan Mendoza.
Mendoza and others took it apart and then sent it across the Atlantic Ocean to the German capital of Berlin. There, he led efforts to rebuild the house. It now is behind his own house in Berlin. It gets daily visitors, although it is difficult to find, Mendoza said.
But less than a year after the house was rebuilt in Berlin, Mendoza decided it should be returned to the United States. He made the decision after deadly violence took place at a recent white nationalist event in Charlottesville, Virginia. That incident increased calls for removing statues of Confederate（美国南部联邦的） leaders from the Civil War in the U.S.
Mendoza said there are not enough civil rights monuments "to balance things out" with the Confederate statues. He said the Rosa Parks house belongs back in America "Imagine if the house were on a public setting in a prominent city in the U.S.," Mendoza said. "That's an education tool that shouldn't be denied by the American people. They have to know their past."
The house would be welcomed back in Detroit. Detroit has failed to protect historical homes in the past. Such houses include the former home of Ralph Bunche, the first African-American to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Detroit's failure to protect history also is shown by the loss of the Rosa Parks house, Hammer said.
1.Why did Rosa Parks move to another place to live?
A. To make a living. B. To look for equality.
C. To fight for civil rights. D. To avoid being killed.
2.Mendoza decided to move the house back to America to_____.
A. fight against violence B. remind people of the past
C. warn people of the Civil War D. replace statues of Confederate leaders
3.What's the author's attitude towards the government of Detroit?
A. Doubtful. B. Critical.
C. Grateful. D. Positive.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A. Rosa Parks' house was rebuilt in Germany.
B. Americans continue to struggle for civil rights.
C. Civil rights leaders home may be returned to U.S.
D. Detroit failed to protect historical homes in the past.
