13、In the 1950s, a female swimming athlete set a goal for herself. She decided to swim across the English Channel before she retired. If she could make it, she would be the first person in the world who did it.
On that day, she jumped into the sea without any hesitation and swam towards the opposite bank.
In the journey, she faced heavy fog, heavy rain and heavy waves. Though she was very tired, she carried on swimming.
But in the end, she gave up. And what she didn't know at the moment she gave up was that the opposite bank was only I mile away.
Later people asked her about the reason. And she said:"The reason why I gave up is that I could not see the destination which I was so close to."

14、One year, a college in the United States announced that it would offer a lot of money for the pure white marigold(金盏花). The high reward attracted so many people, but in the nature, besides golden, the marigold is brown, and it is not easy to get the white one. So after they were excited for a time, many people had forgotten the announcement.
One day after 20 years, the college received a letter and 100 seeds(种子) of pure white marigold. It turned out to be an old woman of over 70 years old. Some scientists in the college doubted it, but it was surprising that those seeds finally took root(根) in the earth. The miracle(奇迹)appeared after one year, the field was covered by pure white marigold.
So the old woman who was always unknown to the public became a new focus(焦点).

After all, a woman who never knew the seed genetics(遗传学) couldn’t complete the job that scientists could never do, so her thought was only a daydream.
Still, the old woman didn’t change her mind and went on working. She planted some of the most common seeds and took good care of them. A year later, when the marigold came out, she chose the faintest (最暗淡的) one from those golden and brown flowers and got the best seed. The next year, she again grew them and chose…. Day after day, year after year, through many seasons, the old woman’s husband died, her children flew far, a lot of things happened in her life, but only the wish to grow the pure white marigold took root in her heart.
Finally, after 20 years on the day we all know, in the garden she saw a marigold, which was not nearly white, but as white as silver or snow.

15、 Thanks to endless photos on social media and the wealth of information on the Internet, future people should have a clear picture of how we lived in the 21st century.
But Martine Rothblatt, a business woman from the US, wants to go a step further by digitally cloning (克隆) human minds.
These “mindclones” would have all of our thoughts, feelings, and be able to think just like us. Rothblatt imagines that mindclones will first begin as digital (数字的) assistants(助手) in our mobile devices (装置), until they become walking, talking versions (版本) of us – but these are far from reality at the moment.
Mindcloning technology is still very young, and it might be a long time before we can send our man-made selves to school so we don’t have to sit through math class. However, scientists at Stanford University in the United States recently created a circuit (电路) board modeled on the human brain that could simulate(模拟) 1 million neurons (神经元) and billions of connections in the brain.
Finally, Rothblatt sees mindclones having their own rights as people, and even falling in love and getting married.
“Let’s say [the ex Apple CEO] Steve Jobs meets another mindclone. They fall in love. Mindclones are just people without bodies. Once the mindclones fall in love, they are going to get married. That’s what people do,” she said.
But Rothblatt’s idea that the digital versions of ourselves would have the same rights as people is not shared by everyone. Some people have thought that the mind must be embedded (嵌入) in biology for it to be thought as “life”, HuffPost reported.
1.According to Rothblatt, mindclones ______.
A.will finally become robots B.will be used in our mobile devices
C.will become reality soon D.have more rights than people
2.What is the latest development in mindcloning technology?
A.We can send our man-made selves to school.
B.People can improve their studies by using mindclones.
C.Steve Jobs and a mindclone will get married.
D.A circuit board has been modeled after a human brain.
3.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A.The writer agrees with Rothblatt’s idea.
B.The writer disagrees with Rothblatt’s idea.
C.Not everyone agrees with Rothblatt about mindclones’ rights.
D.It’s meaningless to discuss the rights of “mindclones”.

16、 The China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation(中国扶贫基金会) has started a program to hire(雇佣) and train 100 local women as substitute mothers(替代妈妈)to take care of left-behind children. The three-year program will select 100 villages across Sichuan Province and hire one woman in each village.
“It is a model to solve the problem of left-behind children,” said Liu Wenkui, secretary of the foundation The “substitute mothers” will do parents’ job, finding out what the children need and helping them with problems.

The program hopes to hire women aged 19 to 55 years old from the villages. “We want to hire full-time ‘mothers’ to make sure they won’t think about other work,” Liu said. “We want local women because they understand local languages and cultures.” The program in Sichuan is an experiment, and Liu said, “If it is a successful model, we will start it in the whole country. ”
“If parents are forced to leave home to earn a living and unable to take their children with them we are looking for a transitional(过渡的) way to solve the problem,” he added.

18、I arrived in Cali, the second largest city in Colombia. The sun was truly shining. Cali was great, the people were friendly and helpful. One thing I knew about Colombia before I came was the coffee. I drank it every day while dreaming about South American adventures in my cold, wet hometown of England.
What I wasn’t prepared for was the beauty there. Even the bus ride was a pleasure. I never thought I would say like this in South America. The landscape was so unexpected, I didn’t imagine Colombia to have this much beauty. There lay fresh mountain waterfalls as well as luminous green hills at every turn, it was so amazing!
Bogota was my next stop. In the beginning, I thought it was a boring city with nothing different from any other. Then I opened my eyes and my heart. It attracted me. The smiles from the locals were infectious(有感染力的), love poured from their hearts.
For me, Bogota and the Colombian people changed my view on everything. I took a walk alone one night to pick up some goods. It was dark, and I was in a strange neighborhood.Yet all I could think about was how safe I felt, I almost felt like I was in my local town. People smiled and carried on with their own business. I walked more slowly and stayed for longer, that moment, I knew I had to change foreigners’ opinion on Colombia.
Thinking about the last month in Colombia, I couldn’t believe how much I had fallen in love with it. I’ve done seven countries in seven months and over twenty-five in my lifetime, and Colombia is right up there at number one! It was like a holiday romance.I will always love Colombia and anyone that tells you it is dangerous has obviously never been there before.
