Her appearance at the famous New York Fashion Week on September 8th marked the first time a double amputee had starred in the catwalk. The Birmingham schoolgirl is also set to show herself in Paris Fashion Week.Daisy-May's legs were amputated as a result of being bom with fibular hcmimclia, a birth disease in which part of the fibular bone （腓骨）in the leg is missing.Her parents, Alex and Claire Dcmctrc, were shocked to know that the child would “have no legs”.

A British Schoolgirl Set a New Record in the Fashion ShowA 9-year-old Double Amputee Makes History on the CatwalkCPieter BruegePs 1565 realistic painting The Harvesters hangs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. t4The work describes farmers cutting wheat nearly as tall as they arc,“ Ghent University biologist ivc De Smet says. "Nowadays, if you walk through a wheat field, you basically see wheat is about knee-high, which is a consequence of selective breeding （培育）from the second half of the 20th century." De Sinet says he's teaming up with art historian David Vergauwen of Amarant to look at things where they can spot differences in shape, in color, and in size. Wheat is just one example of how historical artwork can help track the transformation of food crops over time.Friends since childhood, they took interest in plants in artwork and began with a visit to the Hermitage Museum in Russia where they noticed an odd-looking watermelon in an early-17th-century painting by Flemish artist Frans Snyders.“So if you think of a watermelon, you cut it through, it should be dark red on the inside. But that one appeared to be pale and white. De Smet assumed the painter had done a poor job. But Vergauwen said, “This is one of the best painters ever from that era. So if he paints it like that, that's the way it must have been." Other paintings showed that both red and white watermelons were raised during the 17th century.The team hopes to set up an online research database of historical plant artwork. They create a social media hashtag （主题标签）fbr it. Anyone could send pictures of relevant artwork and details of plants when they visit a museum or exhibit through the hashtag. But, they add, the sources need to be realistic. 44If you're going to use, fbr example, Picasso to understand how a pear looked, you might be misled/'What can we learn from De Smet's words in paragraph I?A.

To encourage people to focus on art.B. To collect more paintings fbr their database.C. To advertise their research database.D. To share some historical plant artwork.11. What is the text mainly about?A. Ancient paintings focused on food crops.B. Two men create a database of plant artwork.C. Plants today are diflerent from their ancestors.D.

While characteristics such as strong values, talent, ambition, intellect, discipline, persistence （毅）J）, and luck all contribute to business and career success, following your passion can often make the most significant difference of all.Before discussing passion and explaining its significance, we must first define the true meaning of success. Success is usually thought of as making large sums of wealth or achieving a certain level of fame, but true success that satisfies is not all about money.Success is better defined as an achievement of a desired aim or purpose. More than money or fame, most people desire to combine their own passions with their work while making a sustainable income. The more you cam, the less money returns, making money an elusive （难以捉摸的）definition of success.For most people, success means being proud of their achievements and being part of something that matters. This is particularly true when it comes to meaningful work. If a person decides to follow their passion, there is a greater likelihood that money and traditional success will follow because the time and effort invested in the adventure come with enthusiasm and zeal （热情）.If enthusiasm and passion arc present, people tend to be more resilient （有承受力）when facing difficulties. People who arc passionate about what they do, rather than just “in it fbr the money,'' tend to be people who have more positive outlooks and can overcome difficulty through problem-solving.Also the more passionate someone is about their job, the more inclined （倾向于）they arc to work hard on self-improvement, increasing their chances of success.One of the most successful companies in the world is Apple. Apple's founder and most remarkable leader was the late Steve Jobs. In an article titled “The Seven Success Principles of Steve Jobs'', writer Carmine Gallo outlines seven factors responsible fbr Jobs5 success. The article is based on interviews with Apple employees and Steve Jobs himself. The first principle? ”Do what you love., Steve Jobs believed in the power of passion and once said, uPeople with passion can change the world fbr the better. Jobs claimed that his passion fbr his work made all the difference. 12. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to.A introduce the topicB. make a comparisonC. present a problemD. give a definition13. By saying “The more you eam, the less money returns, making money an elusive definition of success/, in Paragraph 3, the author means.A. sometimes you don't get much reward fbr your hard workmoney doesn't always define successB. if you want to be successful you need a steady incomethe more you eam, the less money returns, which is not a sign of success 14. What could we learn from Paragraph 4?A. Most people intend to choose meaningful jobs.B. If you follow most people's course, success is just around the corner.C. Working with enthusiasm is more likely to succeed.D. If you arc always proud of yourself you will succeed easily.15. What could be the best title fbr the passage?A.

Let's find out!How do astronauts sleep?A person in space goes to bed at night then wakes up the next day.
