So far, the cells grow in extremely thin layers, which is very expensive. Now it costs about $18,000 to produce a pound of Memphis Meats beefpared to about $4 for storebought beef.

I watched this cycle through the lives of my four older brothers. I watched them win awards time and time again and admired by teachers and adults alike. And I wanted all of that. But then I learned that I couldn’t pete with my brothers or with others for that matter. I didn’t enjoy math and science nearly as much as I enjoyed English literature. My stomach would often hurt thinking about the amount of time I’d have to put in studying and working to get ahead of everyone. Around the seventh grade, I decided that I didn’t care about being a top student anymore. I just wanted to do what brought me joy. I wanted to just read and write for days. Then I watched my older brothers enter the workplace and not enjoy the career path they had chosen. That made my stomach hurt, too. At the same time, they were making a lot of money and were able to afford expensive cars and go on trips that seemed enjoyable, but I decided that I’d not trade the cars and trips for having a job that brought me joy. So I did just that. I majored in English in college with a concentration on creative fictions. For the past decade, I’ve had a career in a nonprofit anization serving children in need. It has brought me great joy. There’s not a daily drive to pete in the market place and be better than another anization so that we increase our profits. The drive is to serve another person with excellence. And the other unexpected aspects are that while I have never made a lot of money, I have a car and have been fortunate to take some pretty amazing trips for work. 32.

He makes great contributions to society. B. He is less successful than his brothers. C. He doesn’t travel anywhere. D. He finds great pleasure in his work. 35. The writer may agree that . A. we should not pete with others B. we should try to do better than others C. we should do what we really like D. we should be devoted to helping others 第二節(jié)（共 5 小題；每小題 2 分，滿分 10 分） 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。 Final grocery store for the past two years and his method of looking for help has finally paid off. Michael Marteen noticed Callison while shopping with his family on Feb. 24. Used to seeing homeless people ask for food and money, Marteen found it refreshing to see someone making an effort to find work in such difficult situations. When Marteen approached him, he noticed Callison was sitting on a sleeping bag with several resumes(簡(jiǎn)歷 )neatly laid out, along with a sign that read“ need work and food.” “ When I asked if I could see his resume, he
