Teenagers have their own TV channels， websites and magazines. So what about books？

Last year one publisher， Martins， started publishing a series called Waves. We spoke to the director Julia Smith. She explained， "Teenage fiction has been published since the 1970s but publishers have never been very successful in getting teenagers to buy and read books. Now they're realizing that teenagers are just older children， but are not adults either. They are often not interested in adult fiction. For this series we are looking for new writers who write especially for teenagers.

Athene Gorr's novel was published in the series last year and is selling well. Its title is The Purple Ring. She says， "The important thing is to encourage teenagers to pick up your book. I'm a new writer. Although I've got an unusual name which people might remember， nobody knows it yet! But my book has a fantastic cover which makes people want to look inside. Then they realize what an excellent story it is!"

And what do teenagers themselves think about the series？ We talked to Sophie Clarke， aged 15. She said？ "I've read a few books in the Waves series. They say they are for 14-19 year olds and I agree with that. We're not interested in the same things as people in their twenties and thirties. I like them and I think they look really good too. The only thing is that because bookshops put them in the children section， lots of teenagers won't find them so they may not do very well. And it's a shame there's no such series as I think lots of teenagers， especially boys， might buy."

1.What can we infer from Paragraph 2？ ______

A.The Waves series are suitable for adults.

B.It is necessary to publish books aimed at teenagers.

D.Teenagers should be encouraged to read.

4.What does the author intend to do with the passage？ ______

Peter Damon produces about 30 paintings a year and sells them for between US$250 and US$1,500. That’s not enough to make ends meet, but it has made him whole again. He lost both arms in an accident.

“Having this skill that even normal people find difficult was something that really helped me and made me feel like I fit in more in the world,” Damon said.

He was a worker in a car factory. One day when he was working, there was a gas explosion (爆炸), killing one worker and injuring him.

“I lost my right arm above the elbow, about three inches above the elbow, and my left about six inches below,” he explained.

“How am I going to make a living and take care of my family? I had always worked with my hands,” he said.

Then with a simple little drawing, a new future opened up for him.

“I thought it was wonderful in a way,” Damon said. “Something was telling me to focus on this and everything will be alright.” Damon doesn’t have a perfect prosthetic arm (假肢)—just a hook (钩子), which he finds works best.

He and his wife Jen run True Grit Art Gallery in Middleboro, Massachusetts, where he shows the works of local artists. With his disability check from the government, he can afford to be an artist. He is a man doing what he wants with his life, and doesn’t look at his situation as a hard time.

“I don’t see it that way,” Damon said. “Suffering an injury like this has a way of making you focus on what’s important in life.”

He believes his best work is still ahead of him. But with his pictures of simple American scenes, Damon has already produced his best work.

1.How did Damon lose his arms?

A.A gas explosion injured his arms.

B.He was attacked when he was driving a car.

C.His arms were trapped by a worker by accident.

D.He was knocked down by a car when he was working.

2.What do we know about Peter Damon when he started taking up painting from the text?

A.His hope for life was brought back.

B.He felt a lot of pressure at the beginning.

C.He didn’t earn enough to support his family.

D.His paintings were so expensive that few people wanted to buy them.

3.What is Damon’s attitude towards his suffering?

A.Wonderful. B.Positive.

C.Pitiful. D.Uncertain.

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Winners do what losers don’t want to do.

B.Nothing is impossible if you try your best.

C.God closes a door and another will open for you.

D.Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

China dropped its decades-long, one-child policy last year to allow each family to have two children. This change has put 270 million married women of childbearing age in the position of choosing between family and work. The employers also face big challenges as more female workers will have two maternity leaves(产假) for a total of seven to eight months.

In a survey published by classified advertising website Ganji.com, career women who might be considering having a second child were asked what kinds of pressure they might expect. More than 76 percent of the women who were questioned mentioned concerns about the financial burden of raising two children, while more than 71 percent said it would be difficult to balance career and family. In addition, nearly 56 percent said that having a second child would definitely have a negative effect on their career.

Another survey conducted by Chongqing-based human resources website job.cq.qq.com found that over 70 percent of job seekers believe that having a second child would make females less popular in the job market, although two-thirds of the employers said the policy will make no difference in their employment of staff.

Feng Lijuan, s senior expert on human resources at 51 job.com, a leading Chinese job finding platform, said she would not say “there is prejudice against career women.” Feng said Chinese women shoulder more family responsibility. “It is not only about maternity leave; a female employee might only fully get back to work after three to five years after having her first child.”

Wang Yixin, a senior employment adviser, said the positive side is that more companies are trying to attract more talents by providing support to career women. “Different from before, it is not only employers choosing employees. Many talents, including professional career women, also choose employers.” said Wang. “According to our survey, many large companies are very open to their employees’ choice of having a second child.”
