1、There are three books I reread annually. The first, which I take to reading every spring, is Emest Hemingways A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, its his classic memoir of 1920s Paris.

15、e fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelors degree.

16、. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition (学费), because there was no extra money set aside for a college education.

23、s.Passage 2 2020 天津卷D DAfter years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man
24、 who had both. The two belong together. Together, these deep human urges(驱策力)count for much more than ambition.
