第一節 閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C、D)中,選出最佳選項。
(2024·河南三門峽市高三模擬)Both of Jessica’s parents were lawyers and expected her to follow suit.So she went to law school,got a job at a great firm in Washington D.C,and worked as a lawyer for a decade.But her heart was never in it.“I had a big salary but no personal satisfaction,” she says.
Jessica found pleasure in the same thing that had brought her joy since joining the church choir at the age of 12.“Singing always felt like communicating something real at a spiritual and emotional level,”says Jessica.Yet she never considered it a career option.“That seemed like something people did in fairy tales,and I would never let my parents down,” she says.
It was her mom’s diagnosis of brain cancer in 2009 that made Jessica realize she had to write her own happy-ever-after.“Work was busy and my mother was ailing.So I was flying back and forth from Washington D.C to Houston to see her,” Jessica says.“I finally said,‘Enough!’ and quit.” While caring for her mom,Jessica made a plan.She would spend her savings and study music for a year,and then open a part-time law practice so she could pursue her passion.Before her mother passed away two years later,she encouraged Jessica to follow her dream.Her song Live This Life was inspired by her mom,and her dad came to watch her perform at clubs.
In 2024,Jessica moved to Nashville to try singing and songwriting.A decade of presenting cases in court gave her the confidence to sing for a crowd.“At 20,I would have been too shy to perform,” says Jessica.
“Doing music is so free,” Jessica says.“There’s no pressure to be a star.Success,to me,isn’t a dollar amount or a record deal;it’s doing what I love.”

But it's impossible to measure ourselves against others because the changes that come with puberty are different for everyone.Some people start developing early;others are late bloomers.Some get a temporary layer of fat to prepare for a growth spurt,others fill out permanently,and others feel like they stay skinny no matter how much they eat.3.
The changes that come with puberty can affect how both girls and guys feel about themselves.Some girls may feel uncomfortable or embarrassed about their maturing bodies.Others may wish that they were developing faster.4.
Guys may feel like they don't look big or muscular enough.
It's not just development that affects self-esteem,though.Lots of other factors can affect a person's body image too.5.

to the warehouse for

for a week or so.In the meantime I had to use a really

,basic phone just to keep in touch with my family and friends.All I could do on this phone was send

and it allowed me to spend more time
15
my surroundings—I could

my time in London more,for example,and I could watch the people around me and really see what was going on.
17
,I knew that as soon as I got my smart-phone back I would be one of those people once again,

to finding out what everyone is doing and
19
my time playing games or checking social network sites.Perhaps I should just go back to using the basic phone and
