When 45-year-old Randy Pausch was diagnosed with pancreatic (胰腺)cancer, he chose to focus on living rather than dying.As a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University,Pausch was asked to deliver a “last lecture”.This well-known campus tradition allowed professors to share worldly wisdom with students as if they were dying and had one last lecture to give.
The only difference in Pausch's case is that Pausch really was dying, but it only motiva-ted him more.He delivered his last lecture, “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams”on Sept.18,2007.
Pausch began by sharing several of his boyhood dreams,some of which he had achieved and the others he hadn't.He described the importance of having dreams and how anyone can still learn a lot by reaching for those dreams, even if they don't always succeed.He shared the values learned through experience,which he hoped to pass on to others:
honesty,character, hard work, laughter and gratitude.
Pausch's last lecture received a great deal of praise and attention.It became a crazy You- Tube hit, and in October 2007,he presented an abridged(删节的)version on “The Oprah Winfrey Show”.He turned the lecture into a book by the same name,which quickly became a best-seller.Readers were deeply moved by the book's representation of Pausch's lifelong philosophy and the way it revealed the biggest source of his motivation—his three young children .
Pausch passed away on July 25,2008, but his voice lives on in the recorded lecture and his book.He continues to motivate us all by encouraging us to never give up our childhood dreams—a source of inspiration that can never run dry.
24.Why was Pausch asked to give his “last lecture”?
A.To share wisdom with the students. B .To make him have a better life.
C.To cure his cancer.D.To achieve his dream.
25.What was Pausch's lecture mainly about?
A.His private life in boyhood. B.Having dreams and good values.
C.The reason for his success.D.The experience learned from others.
26.Which of the following motivated Pausch most?
A.His children. B.His dreams. C.His work. D.His students.
27.What can be the best title for the text?
A.The Meaning of LifeB.Keep on Dreaming
C.Motivation from LifeD.Give the Last Lecture

Maryland is expected to become the first state of the USA to ban foam (泡沫橡胶)food packaging, takeout containers and cups.The new proposed law passed both of the state's legislative bodies (立法机关)this week with enough votes to override a potential rejection signed by Gov.Larry Hogan, who has not publicly signaled whether he supported the law or not.The law would become the latest in a growing effort worldwide to ban kinds of single-use plastic products,due to their impacts on the environment.
With the statewide previous ban effort,Maryland's two counties,Prince George and Montgomery,had already banned foam packaging.Del.Brooke Lierman, who introduced similar legislation last year and in 2017,says changing public opinion helped her third attempt succeed.
“I think we have reached a danger point,” she says.“People are seeing how common single-use plastics are, and that they are not recyclable and never going away.People are be-ginning to understand the importance of living more sustainably.”
The new law would ban foam food packaging for products packaged in-state,including restaurants,cafes,food trucks, and grocery stores.The final version of the bill includes exceptions,such as meat.The ban would go into force on July 1,2020 and would carry fines of $250.
The legislation was opposed by the Maryland Retailers Assocation, which warned that outlawing foam packaging could hurt small businesses by higher costs.Foam packaging remains popular among restaurants and the food industry because it is lightweight, inexpen¬sive, and keeps food and drinks hot.
Foam food containers have been banned in cities or counties in 11 states, including Seat-tle, Portland 9 Washington D.C., San Francisco , and numerous other cities in California.A ban in New York City took effect at the beginning of this year after a long legal battle ended last summer.
28 How did Maryland carry out the ban of foam food packaging?
A.By closing some local companies.B.By fining foam packaging producers.
C.By passing a new law.D.By teaching people to focus on the environment
29.What does the underlined word “override” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.Reject.B.Prove.C.Explain.D.Tolerate.
30.What helped the third attempt succeed according to Del.Brooke Lierman?
A.Learning from other cities.B.Getting medium's support.
C.Changing public opinion.D.Hurting small businesses.
31.What can we learn from the text?
A.Foam food packages will disappear in the world.
B.People in Maryland support the law absolutely.
C.Foam food packages haven't any advantage at all.
D.Meat will be allowed to be sold in foam food packages in America.
