American DanceWheels Foundation (ADF) is an artistic organization that trains those with disabilities, their able-bodied partners, ballroom dance teachers, adaptive therapists (特定疗法技J/帀) in the art of Wheelchair Ballroom and Latin Dancing (WBLD ). In the dancing the male leads regardless whether he is standing or seated in a wheelchair. ADF focuses on social dancing and is not driven by competitions although they can progress to competitions if they choose. If you can move your wheelchair and take direction you can dance. Both who use either power or wheelchairs, full or part-time, are encouraged to participate.
ADF has now brought its WheelOne™ syllabus (教学大纲) into two distinct areas of education: public schools and universities.
Public Schools
WBLD can be used as a physical education course for students with disabilities. It removes the separation that many other activities create since it requires a mix of these students with able-bodied partners. It encourages integration (融合) of disabled students with others in the school and the community overall. Wheelchair dancing also helps to build respect among the partners.
Universities
ADF is proud to announce that it has developed the first approved course in WBLD in the United States. This program started in February, 2008 and is developing new seated and standing wheelchair dancers each term.
The WheelOne™ syllabus teaches a specialized skill that is perfect for future dance teachers as well as future therapists. Able-bodied students learn all four aspects of the dances (able-bodied male, male wheelchair dancer, able-bodied female and female wheelchair dancer). Students will get a much better understanding of what it is like to be in a wheelchair.
Students will learn adaptations required for working with a different group of dancers. This training can even lead to a full ADF Certification Course Program.

22、The next time San Franciscans take a cab, they may step into a car with no one behind the steering wheel (方向盘). Driverless taxis are now allowed to drive on the city’s streets — with some conditions.
Last week, regulators of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) voted to issue a novel permit to Cruise, the self-driving vehicle branch company of General Motors (GM). The first-of-its-kind permit allows Cruise to charge for rides, without a human driver in the car. Cruise had already been offering free rides in its self-driving cars, but the move allows the company to launch fully autonomous commercial operations in the Bay Area.
Cruise can operate just 30 autonomous vehicles without a safety driver, and the company can only charge for rides between 10 p. m. and 6 a. m. in neighbourhoods that are outside of the busy down town area. Weather conditions are also a factor: No autonomous taxi rides when there’s heavy rain, heavy fog, heavy smoke, or snow in the forecast. Shared rides aren’t allowed.
Cruise’s technology is made up of a series of sensors and cameras built into a Chevrolet Bolt, an entirely electric car made by GM. Cruise has also announced plans for a car of their own, the Cruise Origin. The Cruise Origin lacks pedals (脚踏板), mirrors, a steering wheel and consists mostly of a sitting space, where passengers can face each other.
Supporters of self-driving vehicles say the technology has the possibility to reduce traffic deaths and injuries, expand transportation options, save money and lower the environmental impact of cars. As Waymo’s former CEO John Krafcik said, “We can be good drivers when we are focused. But because we are human, we are often not focused.”
【1】What is the influence of giving a novel permit to Cruise?
A.Cruise can have its first autonomous car.
B.Free rides in self-driving cars are allowed.
C.Cruise can earn money through self-driving cars.
D.Manned driving will be replaced by self-driving.
【2】When can Cruise charge for riding service?
A.At 11:00 p. m. on clear days.
B.At 8:00 a. m. on snowy days.
C.At 4:00 a. m. on foggy days.
D.At 1:00 p. m. on sunny days.
【3】What makes the Cruise Origin differ from other self-driving cars?
A.It is driven by itself completely.
B.It has more sensors and cameras.
C.It can only be owned by internal employees.
D.It lacks some normal basic facilities.
【4】What is the best title of the text?
A.Driverless Taxis Are Coming to San Francisco
B.Traffic Accidents Will Be Avoided by Self-Driving
C.Self-Driving Vehicles Are More Intelligent than Humans
D.More Choices of Transportation Are Provided for Passengers
23、A new research shows that in Britain more and more people are returning to the old tradition that the whole family has a meal at table. Worrying about the obesity(肥胖症) and breakdown of a family, people change their eating habits so greatly, according to analysis. They find the number of the family having a meal together increases by 5% from 2002 to 2004, and most people who have meals with their family come from the rich social class.
The new discovery makes doctors and the people struggling against obesity extremely excited. Giving up the tradition that the whole family have a meal together is exactly one of the reasons for a series of problems including children’s overweight. If a child has a meal in front of the television or the computer alone, he will often eat some fast food.
Jason Collins is one of the persons returning to the old tradition. Collins is a manager of a bake house. He finds after he gets used to having a meal at home with his child, the child becomes much more obedient(听话的). Dr. Jin is a child psychologist, and she expresses welcome to this result of the study. She says it can make parents have a very good chance to chat with the child when the whole family have a meal together.
【1】What makes people change their eating habit back to the old tradition in Britain?
A. Worrying about their children
B. Worrying about some social problems
C. Worrying about the living expense
D. Worrying about health and family problems
【2】How do the people who hope to lose weight feel about the new discovery?
A. They feel glad B. They feel surprised
C. They feel sorry D. They feel disappointed
【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The child having dinner with his parents doesn’t like watching TV
B. Children become overweight all because of having dinner alone
C. The family having dinner together is more united and friendly
D. The reason a child has dinner alone is that he likes fast food
24、Doctors are known to be terrible pilots. They don't listen because they already know it all. I was lucky: became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didn't realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon. I loved flying. As I flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather, I learned about crew resource management (机组资源管理), or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions.
I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot .He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down. He was a better pilot - and my boss - so it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness and said, "We need to put the landing gear down now!" That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and I've used it in the operating room ever since.
CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn't overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when I'm in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they're not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them , someday someone will keep me from “landing gear up”.
【1】What does the author say about doctors in general?

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
