21、Zoe, Damacela, 19, didn't have nice clothes when she was young. It wasn't easy for Zoe’s hard-working single mother to make ends meet. They moved in and out of homeless shelters.
Everything changed for Zoe in grade nine. At that time, she heard about a sewing (缝纫) class at her school. She signed up and couldn't wait to turn her designs into clothes. The color of the first dress she made was white-black strips. Soon the clothes she wore were all made by her. Other girls at school loved her designs too. They asked her if they could buy dresses from her. Zoe sold her first dress for $13. Unfortunately, it cost her $25 to make the dress. “I had the creativity in designs," says Zoe. “But I really had no idea about business.”
Zoe kept selling the clothes she designed. Her business was booming, and even the girls who had ever teased her became her customers. In the eleventh grade, Zoe took a business class. She learned how to price her clothes so that she could be sure to make a fair profit.
Her business teacher suggested she take part in a contest for teenaged entrepreneurs (企业家). The contest was for teens from all over the United States. Zoe sent in her business plan, which explained how she planned to make her pany grow. She won the second prize in the end. Zoe ’s success became a news item. Supermodel Tyra Banks heard about it and she invited Zoe to take part in her TV show. “Being recognized I felt really unreal,” says Zoe. Zoe has advice for teens who want to start their own business. “If you really work hard on it, you will be able to make it happen,” she says. “If I can do it, anyone else can.”

22、The world’s best underwater hotels
Atlantis The Palm, Dubai
The underwater rooms at Atlantis The Palm really are fit for the king of the seas. Set alongside a huge aquarium , they are pretty much the most romantic place you could ever dream of, as long as you don’t have nightmares about sharks! This unusual hotel room costs around $7,000 a night.
Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, Maldives
The Conrad Maldives Rangali Island doesn’t have an underwater room, but you can still have dinner below the waves, without having to wear a diving suit. The Ithaa Undersea Restaurant is located sixteen feet below sea level and while you eat happily, sharks and fishes swirl (旋转) above your head. Set menus cost upwards of $300 per person. Book at least a couple of weeks ahead.
Utter Inn, Västerås, Sweden
The Utter Inn was designed by local artist Mikael Genberg and is one of the cheapest underwater hotels out there, floating on Lake Mälaren, near Stockholm. From $250 a night, this is more like an unusual ship’s cabin than luxury (奢侈的) accommodation, but as an appealing twist on traditional Swedish living, it’s now a very fashionable place to spend the weekend.
Jules’ Undersea Lodge, Key Largo, Florida
Jules’ Undersea Lodge is named after the author of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and is the oldest underwater hotel, surrounded by angelfish and other species off the coast of Florida. Getting there is somewhat of a challenge — it’s located 21 feet beneath the surface of the sea. Brave couples can stay the night here for $800.

24、If you are sitting, please stand up. Move your legs. Touch your toes if you can. Do anything but sit. New research shows that if you cut down on the time you spend sitting, you might live longer. Sitting less than three hours a day might extend your life by two years. Cutting television time to less than two hours a day can add one point four years to life.
The human body is designed to move. The fact is just the opposite. Modern lifestyles and office jobs rarely give us the chance to move around. We sit while we’re eating; we sit in the car; we sit while we are watching TV. And most of us sit for many hours at work. Sitting is something we do all the time. On average, Americans sit for four and a half to five hours a day. But that does not make sitting good for us.
Though you may exercise often, that does not mean you can sit for the rest of your waking hours. We can’t throw away physical activity. It is extremely important. Even if you exercise for 30 minutes a day, what goes on in the other 23 and a half hours a day is also very important.
Changes are coming to some offices, especially in the design of desks. A “standing desk” lets people stand while they work. Another new design is called the “treadmill desk”. It is an exercise machine that lets you walk slowly in one place. Even some U.S. schools begin to experiment with desks that are part bicycle to keep children moving.
Many companies may not buy a standing desk for everybody. However, they may get five standing desks or a treadmill desk for their employees and put them in a certain place where people can go for an hour a day to answer their emails or talk on the phone. Experts suggest some other activities: take a walk at lunchtime; walk to the offices and talk directly instead of emailing colleagues. All these activities may help you live longer.
【1】Why should people stand up according to the new research?
A. They should touch their toes.
B. Standing more can cure some diseases.
C. Sitting less does people good and may help people live longer.
D. They spend too much time watching TV.
【2】What can we learn about sitting?
A. Sitting is the best position for the body.
B. People usually have to sit for a long time nowadays.
C. The more people sit, the better they will be.
D. Americans sit longer every day than people in other countries.
【3】What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The walking hour B. Sitting
C. Standing. D. Exercising
【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The new design of desks can help people sit less.
B. The “treadmill desk” is used by people to run.
C. It’s better for school students to use standing desks.
D. It’s necessary for companies to offer a sitting desk to every employees.
