Thereare two days that set you on your path in life: the day you’re born, and the day you realize why you were born.
Growing up south of Chicago in Harvey, Illinois, most people just had their heads down trying to make it from point A to point B. I was the same way, just going with the flow. I played basketball in high school because I was good at it and because other people thought I should until I discovered my talent.
I give up basketball and started doing speeches. It wasn’t a popular decision but my grandfather told me to do what made me happy. I fell in love with comedy and performing. And when I discovered the passion, I realized
why I was born.
I knew I had something to offer —I knew that not only am I powerful, but I can make a difference.
I realized a long time ago that my dream is not to be famous or rich. My talent is to entertain. But it’s more than that. I have the chance to reach people, to brighten days, to bring laughter and positive energy into lives and inspire. And I am grateful forit. Acting putting myself out there and having doors closed on me time and time again has taught me a lot about myself. I have learned to trust what I have to offer the world over momentary doubt. I’ve learned to put my faith over my feelings. And I've grown a tough skin. More importantly, I have learned there is a long way towards our goals and that when we put our talents and passion to work, we determine our value.
Like a lot of places across the country, there’s poverty, crime, violence and unemployment in Harvey. And growing up there, a lot of people have tragically low expectations for life. But I know that with the right opportunity and with help along the way, everyone can find their passion and go after it. My life is proof. 8. What was the author born to do according to the text? A. Be a basketball player. B. Act and perform. C. Make speeches. D. Teach people.
9. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. Chance. B. Energy. C. Days. D. Laughter. 10. What is the author’s purpose of writing this text?
A. To help others find their talents. B. To prove his decision was right.
C. To inspire people to follow their dreams. D. To encourage people to set a goal. 11. What can be the best tile for the text?
A. Success Lies in Hard Work. B. How to Achieve the Dream Is Important. C. The Two Important Days in Life. D. The Day I Realized What I Was Born to Do.
D
It might have been Jimmy Kimmel, or any other sharp-tongued talk show hosts of late-night TV. In this instance, it was Samantha Bee, stating her opposition to childhood vaccinations humorously. “Who are you going to believe?” she asked. “Leading authorities on medical science, or 800 comments on your cousin’s Facebook page?”
Joking about science can have serious effects, according to studies by communication scholars. Accordingly, since 2013, Paul, a psychological professor, has conducted studies of how satire (讥讽) can influence people’s
beliefs about science, which have shown that if you want to interest people in science and shape their views on hot-button science issues, satirical humor can work better.
Many Americans pay little attention to science. Even people who regularly watch TV news receive only scraps of science information in their media diet, because mainstream media outlets devote so little airtime to the subject. On top of that, some Americans may regard science as inaccessible.
Yet satirical humor can reach viewers who would never watch NOVA or read — well, National Geographic. Millions of people watch late-night television programs live, and videos of these shows get millions of views on streaming services. In 2016, a vote conducted by the University of Delaware Center indicated that nearly one in 10 said they learned about science from late-night television shows.
Late-night hosts may occasionally poke fun at scientists. More often, however, the hosts promote a positive image of science. By making science entertaining to audience with little knowledge of the topic, late-night television could spark science engagement. Furthermore, the researchers concluded that satirical shows had the biggest impact among the least educated viewers, thus helping to narrow a gap in attention to science. Though late-night satirical humor can boost science interest and awareness, it has its limits. Science is complex, and conveying that complexity in a few minutes while telling jokes can be a challenge. 12. What does Paul’s studies of joking about science indicate? A. It may do serious damage to science. B. It can effectively popularize science. C. It totally changes people’s attitude to science.
D. It will shift people’s attention from entertainment to science. 13. Why do TV watchers receive a little science information? A. Because they enjoy watching entertainments. B. Because science is not easy to come up with. C. Because they find no interest in science issues. D. Because science is scarcely seen on mainstream media.
14. What do we know about the late-night shows involving science? A. The hosts get used to playing tricks on scientists. B. The hosts’ aim is to build a positive image of science. C. Education gap can be bridged through late-night shows. D. Science participation can be promoted among their viewers.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards combining science with satire? A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Positive. D. Negative.
