26、 Jim worked at a radio station all his life. He was a well-known and famous radio show host. All of his friends and workmates knew him by one feature (特征): if he’s on-air, he is always wearing a suit and a tie. They laughed at him: ‘No one ever sees you, why do you dress like that?’, but he always turned that into a joke.
One day Jim was invited to appear on the TV. There was a show focusing on the oldest radio employees. For the first time the people, who only knew him by his voice, would see him. Before the recording of the show, the director came to Jim and asked:
“Usually you arrive on time, but today you are 10 minutes late. It’s not horrible, but I’m still interested, why?”
“You see,” Jim answered, “at the last moment when I was already dressed up, I noticed that I don’t have new socks. For the first time I was invited to the television, and I thought that simply wearing clean sock is not enough. It needs to be in new socks. So I needed to go to the store for socks.”
“But why do you need new socks?” The director was surprised. “You could have come without the socks, because we will be filming you only in close-up, over the waist.”
“You see, to be perfect on-air, I need to feel myself perfect in everything, starting with the shirt and finishing with the pen in my pocket. And if my socks have holes in them, or my shoes are dirty, I’m not perfect anymore.”

27、 The International Day of Disabled Persons, an international celebration declared by the United Nations since 1992, is observed on December 3, aiming to promote an understanding of disability issues and get support for the rights of people with disabilities. The day takes place annually and focuses on a different issue each year. In South Africa, December 3 also marks the beginning of the Disability Awareness Month.
Since the first celebration, people with disabilities have gained recognition of their rights by States across the globe and of their rightful place in society. But there is still much work ahead of us to turn those legal rights into a true revolution, in which diversity is fully accepted and lived.
The estimated one billion people living with disabilities worldwide face many obstructions of inclusion in many key aspects of society. As a result, people with disabilities can’t enjoy the equal rights as normal people, which include employment, education as well as social and political participation. The right to participate in public life is essential to create stable democracies, active citizenship and reduce inequalities in society.
In many cases, people with disabilities must be able to fulfill their role in society. It is important to focus on the ability and not on the disability of an individual. It is important to note that disability is part of the human condition, and that all of us either are or will become disabled to one degree or another during the course of our lives.
By promoting empowerment, real opportunities for disabled people are created. This supports them in setting their own priorities. Empowerment involves investing in them-in jobs, health, nutrition, education, and social protection. When disabled people are empowered they are better prepared to take advantage of opportunities, and they can more readily accept their civil responsibilities.
【1】What is the International Day of Disabled Persons meant for?
A.To raise money for the disabled. B.To stress the value of the disabled.
C.To make an international celebration. D.To make able-bodied people care about the disabled.
【2】What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Barriers B.Chances C.Decisions D.Regrets
【3】What is the main problem for disabled people?
A.Their number is too large. B.Few of them seek legal rights.
C.They can’t be fully accepted by society. D.They think poorly of their role in society.
【4】What is indicated in the last paragraph?
A.The author is worried about the disabled. B.The disabled will have a brighter future.
C.What society has done is far from enough. D.The disabled must fight hard for their rights.
28、Staying with family members or receiving professional care? Seniors in Harbin have a new choice to enrich their life in retirement(退休), as harbin.dbw.cn reported.
The seniors can take a bus to a day-care nursing home every day between 8 am and 5 pm, just like others go to work, and go back home to be with their families in the evening.
In the nursing home, they will receive professional care, have lunch, take part in activities such as calligraphy(书法) and singing, and take university courses designed for them.
According to a research, there were 1.75 million seniors by the end of 2015. Less than 10 percent choose to stay in the nursing home while most live at home. Loneliness and shortage of care are the major problems facing the stay-at-home seniors.
"After my mother passed away, I struggled to take good care of my father," said Zhou, an office worker.
Those who have retired parents agree that their parents spend a boring and lonely day at home, watching TV all day and filling their stomach with food. The situation becomes worse in winter when elders are unable to go out due to the cold.
However, the cost of such nursing homes is different from person to person but stands at around 2,000 yuan ($290). Another problem is the shortage of facilities (设施). Even if two seniors share a room in the nursing home, the city still lacks(缺少) at least 100,000 such rooms.
【1】In the day-care nursing home, the seniors can ________.
A.go to work
B.stay with their families
C.attend university
D.get professional care
【2】What is the main problem for seniors staying at home?
A.A lot of seniors choose to live at home.
B.They are lonely and short of care at home.
C.Their children won’t take care of them.
D.They are unable to go out especially in winter.
【3】What information can be inferred from the passage?
A.People have no trouble attending their retired parents.
B.The day-care nursing home is getting popular among seniors.
C.The price of staying in the nursing home remains the same.
D.Two seniors must share one room in the day-care nursing home.
29、 To be rulers of the reality, we must know how to ask for suggestions. But one thing that must be kept in mind is that when we ask others for suggestions we must be open to suggestions.
I wrote a business letter one day. I gave it to my husband for suggestions. After reading the letter, he felt that there were some problems in my letter. I told him I needed more information, but he said he wasn’t sure. Then he reread the letter and made notes. I took the letter and revised it. As I was writing, I could see my letter improved based on his suggestions. Again, I handed the letter back to my husband proudly and confidently. But he said it was still not right. I was a little annoyed and said some bad words to him.
Many people may have the same reaction when they experience the same situation. It’s normal that people don’t like objection or critical words. However, we should hold a right attitude towards these words: Analyze the objection and listen to critical words with an open mind.
I then picked up the letter. After an hour of revision, I went back to my husband contritely. I told him I was sorry for what I had said. And after he read the letter again, he declared that it was fine.
That leads me to the following: When you ask for advice on a project, be grateful. Understand that the suggestions you get may be negative. Understand that it may mean more work for you. And keep in mind that the final responsibility for the project is still yours. So be modest and thankful even if he or she has noted some problems.
