tobecoming a writer,and later,the novelist she is today.In the face of the ups and downs,she gave it her all.She can still remember that her boss was very challenging.“The thing that worked when my

to sit down and just do it Jshe says.With al!the pressure on young people these days,it is important to remember you dont have to be in the perfectjob right away.Whats more,you dont need to know what you want to be or do for a career as soon as you finish highschool or college.Rakoff explains how many of her very successful friends found different paths toward becomingfiction writers.There is

first transistor with only two dimensions（二 维）.A transistor is a small electronic device that transfers or carries electronic current.Scientists hope these new 2Dtransistors will be used for building high-resolution（高 分 辨 率）displays that need very little energy.Two groups of scientists created these 2D transistors.They report that the transistors are only a few atoms thick.Usually transistors are made with the element silicon（硅）.Computer processors,memory chips,TV screens and otherelectronic devices contain billions of silicon-based transistors.But these very small electrical parts have certainlimitations.Dimitris Ioannou is an electrical engineering professor at George Mason University.He says the traditional transistorhas been improved as much as it can be.He adds that researchers have been looking for new materials with specialfeatures and they want transistors to be seen through and soft.“If the layers are very thin,the transistor can become flexible,so it doesnt have to be rigid（坚 硬 的）,like it would be ina silicon chip.So people can think of applications like wearable electronics,television screens and other things,saidIoannou.These new transistors can also carry higher current.They also can move the current much faster than traditionaltransistors.This is important for high-definition screens.Dimitris Ioannou says the scientific success could prove very useful in the future.nNow,how good and how useful it willbe,its still in the stage of research,but it certainly is an advance/*said Ioannou.1、Which of the following statements about the newly created transistor is TRUE?A.They are expected to be used in high-resolution displays.B.The transistors are made with the element silicon.C.They are rigid,just like traditional transistors.D.They have already been put into actual use.2、What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?A.The traditional transistors have been changed into two-dimensional ones.B.Many of the traditional transistors have been improved over the years.C.The traditional transistor has been developed to its fullest.D.The traditional transistor has been developed quite well.3、What is Dimitris Ioannous attitude towards the creation of the new transistors?A.Negative.B.Neutral.C.Indifferent.D.Positive.25.（10 分）As a volunteer,Charlie Starbuck has helped to plant tress on the streets of San Francisco.He has themin just about every part of this city.Walk a block or two in virtually any neighborhood,and you will find Mr.Starbucksfingerprints are there.Whatever tree species you might see there,chances are excellent that Starbuck helped plant itwith his own hands.Starbuck has volunteered with a citywide tree-planting program since 1981;thats over thirty years of weeklyplantings without pay.For Charlie to be that consistent,w says Doug Wildman,program director of San FranciscosFriends of the Urban Forest（FUF）.uWell,he is our rock.”Despite all its charm,San Francisco is not particularly green.Sandy soil,salty air,lots of wind and narrow streetsare common explanations for its low tree count.For more than three decades,Starbuck has been on a mission to changethat.He acts as a guide and teacher to home-owners and volunteers and teaches them how to plant trees.He loves to talkabout trees.uMy current favorite is the strawberry tree,“he says.Tree experts here are constantly on the look out forspecies that can handle the local climate.The strawberry tree,with its mock red fruit that hangs in clusters,is in highdemand.Care is relatively simple.Most of San Francisco has sandy soil,so it is almost impossible to overwat
