26、 I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a freight yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head. Now I am thirty two. I can vaguely remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity can do strange things to people. It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn't been blind. I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise. I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.
Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. I was bewildered and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me--a potential to live, you might call it--which I didn't see, and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.
The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was basic. If I hadn't been able to do that, I would have collapsed and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life. When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: an assurance that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the sweeping, intricate pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.
It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the most elementary things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was mocking me and I was hurt. "I can't use this." I said. "Take it with you," he urged me, "and roll it around." The words stuck in my head. "Roll it around! "By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball. At Philadelphia's Overbrook School for the Blind I invented a successful variation of baseball. We called it ground ball.
All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to learn my limitations. It was no good to try for something I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.

27、 Hugging a dog is one of the life's greatest joys. It is like experiencing a love drug, which is quite true.
Dogs and humans always interact with each other. And if you get to have dogs and hug them every day, you just might live longer than people who don't have to clean animal hair off their clothes, according to a pair of studies recently.
The studies, published in the journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, suggest that dog ownership is linked to a 21% reduction in the risk of death-over the 12-year period studied-for people with heart disease. When you look at all the evidence around dog ownership and their health, it's pretty clear the signal is real.
We’ve known forever that owning a dog increases one's physical activity. Regardless of weather, you have to get out and walk the dog. Otherwise, you might stay home and watch TV. Owning a dog makes you spend more time outdoors, and time spent outdoors improves health. Owning a dog or interacting with a dog even for a short term also reduces blood pressure. And the biggest advantage of having a dog is what it does for mental health. We see very beneficial effects on depression and anxiety.
Many of us may not have a dog. And these studies have finally convinced someone to get one. We've thought of dogs as a form of comfort. The study forces a rethinking of pets in our society. We've started out with dogs as accomplices during hunts as hunter-gatherers. Gradually, we selected for traits of loyalty and friendship. At this point, many of us can totally see the basic reasons why dogs improve our sense of well-being, reduce loneliness and can be an improvement to our physical and mental health.
【1】Who might live longer according to the study?
A.People who hate dogs. B.People who have dogs.
C.People who haven't dogs. D.People who like bathing pets.
【2】What can we infer about getting a dog in paragraph 3?
A.It can cure heart disease.
B.It can help improve health.
C.It can make people more energetic.
D.It can stop people from getting ill.
【3】What is the largest benefit of getting a dog?

【4】What is the author's purpose in writing the text?

B.To share his own experience of keeping a dog.
C.To introduce a new life style.
D.To state the finding of a study about keeping dogs,
28、What do you do when you are cold? Your may wrap yourself in a warm blanket and sip a cup of steaming cocoa. All animals have different ways of responding to the cold. Some animals, such as Canada geese, migrate(迁徙)to warmer climates. Others sleep for the whole winter. But the wood frog does something unusual. It freezes!
The wood frog's ability to freeze its body is vital to its survival. The wood frog can live in extreme climates from the Appalachian Mountains, across much of Canada, and into Alaska. When temperatures are cold, a wood frog digs down a few inches beneath the leaves on the forest floor. As the outdoor temperature decreases, the frog' s skin freezes. For a human this would result in cold injury, or the freezing of body tissues, but the wood frog has a natural defense against the cold that is remarkable.
Special proteins inside the frog's body freeze the water in the frog's blood. Water forced out of the frog's other cells freezes as well. But a special solution produced inside the frog acts like antifreeze in a car, protecting the cells.
In cold temperatures the frog's heartbeat, breathing, and brain activity stop. Because the organs are surrounded by ice, they do not rot away(腐烂:烂掉)and do not require oxygen or nutrients. In fact, about 65% of the frog freezes. The frog, however, is still alive.
The wood frog can freeze for a few days or several months at a time. It can survive temperatures as low as 18°F without damage to its body. When the temperature outside increases, the frog thaws(变暖)along with its surroundings. Water and blood begin circulating in its body again. Within a few hours its heart starts beating again. Over the next several hours, the frog slowly regains use of its legs—and hops away!
Scientists are extremely interested in the wood frog's ability to freeze. For years they have sought ways to freeze body tissue without damaging it. They hope that in studying wood frogs they may learn better ways of preserving human organs for transplants and other medical procedures. Whether these frogs can be used to help humans or not, they certainly are amazing.
【1】What can we learn about wood frogs in winter months?
A.They are not truly frozen during winter months.
B.They have a special process for storing energy.
C.They have a unique ability to know the temperature.
D.They are not harmed by the body-freezing process.
【2】It can be learnt from paragraph 5 that a wood frog________.
A.hops away before being frozen
B.thaws faster than its surroundings
C.uses the same amount time to thaw as to freeze
D.adjusts the body temperature with its surroundings
【3】What is the author's purpose in writing the text?

B.To introduce how wood frogs migrate to warmer climates.
C.To explain how wood frogs survive in unfavorable conditions.
D.To give reasons scientists have been unsuccessful at freezing organs.
29、Cooks at the Qingfeng Steamed Bun Shop in west Beijing can’t make the pork and scallion baozi (buns) fast enough since Xi Jinping visited for some traditional workers’ food and ate it among the workers.
The Chinese president’s visit late last month went down a treat, while web commentators were enthusiastic in their praise for Xi’s easy populism, after he left the government headquarters in nearby Zhongnanhai and ordered six steamed buns filled with pork and scallions, a bowl of stewed pig liver and a plate of green vegetables.
The bill came to 21 yuan, about €2.50, and he sat and finished it at one of the restaurant tables, just like any other working Joe. While Xi is known as “President Xi” abroad, in China he is known as “Chairman Xi”, in the same way as the country’s late founding father Mao Zedong is known as “chairman Mao”.
The Chinese government is keen for its leaders to have the president title abroad, as it sounds, well, more presidential. But in Qingfeng, it’s all about the chairman.
“Since Chairman Xi came here, the restaurant has had queues like this every day. We didn’t know the chairman was coming beforehand. We only recognized him when he was at the window picking up his food because he also waited in the line,” says a waitress.
Xi is building up a reputation as a more approachable kind of leader, a man of the people – something people in Ireland got a taste of when they saw how he handled a hurley in Croke Park during his visit.
There were rumours last year that Xi even took a taxi to ask the driver what was really going on in Beijing, although that may have been a hoax. While his predecessor Hu Jintao was seen as a theorist, Xi’s public profile is high.
【1】The cooks in Qingfeng Restaurant are very busy because _______ .
A. the foods in the restaurant have to be updated.
B. the restaurant is shorthanded at present.
C. Xi’s visit made this restaurant extreme popular among consumers
D. the food Mr. Xi ate was specially made.
【2】According to the passage, President Xi is building up a reputation of __________.
A. frankness. B. toughness.
C. plain work style. D. indifference.
【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE? __________
A. Xi’s arrival was arranged ahead of time.
B. “President” and “chairman” are the same titles overseas.
C. Chairman Mao queued in the same restaurant.
D. Present Xi was good at food in Ireland during his visit.
【4】What does the underlined word hoax mean in the last paragraph? ________
A. Feature story. B. Joke.
C. Interview. D. Conversation.
30、I recall as a young child bringing bunches of brilliant yellow flowers to my mother. It didn’t matter that the stems(茎)felt sticky or that both my parents cursed the _______of these flowers in the lawn. I thought they were beautiful!
And there were so many of them! We spent hours picking the flowers and then breaking the blossoms off with a snap of our fingers. But the supply of dandelions (蒲公英) never ran out. My father or brothers would _______all the heads with the lawn mower (割草机) at least once a week, but that didn’t _______ these amazing wonders.
And for those flowers that _______the honor of being hand-delivered to my mother or the sharp blades of the lawn mower, there was another level of_______. The soft, round balls of a dandelion gone to_______ caused endless laughs and voices of delight as we unconsciously spread this flower_______ the yard.
As I worked in my garden last week, pulling unwanted weeds out of the space that would become a safe place for tomatoes, corn, peas and sunflowers, I was again _______ at the flower that some call a weed with admiration. And I thought, “If only I had the staying _______ of a dandelion.”
If only I could stretch my roots so deep and straight that something dragging my stem couldn’t__________ me completely from the source that feeds me life. If only I could come back to________ the world with a bright, sunshiny face after someone has run me over with a lawnmower or worse, ________ attacked me in an attempt to destroy me. If only my foliage (叶子) was a nutritious ________ of vitamins that help others grow. If only I could spread love and encouragement freely and fully ________ this flower spreads seeds of itself.
The lawns at my parents’ homes are now beautiful green blankets. The only patches of color come from well- placed, well-controlled flowerbeds. Chemicals have managed to kill what human persistence couldn’t.
I hope you and I can be ________. I hope that we can make our roots get deep enough that the most poisonous chemical can’t reach our souls. I hope that we can overcome such poisons as anger, fear, hate, criticism and competitiveness. I hope that we can see flowers in a world that sees weeds.
