Blind from birth, I have never had the opportunity to see myself and have been completely dependent on the image I create in the eyes of others.
There are those who 16 that since I can't see, I obviously also cannot 17 . Very often people will talk with me at the top of their voices.Contrary to this, people will also often 18 , believing that since my eyes don't work, my ears don't either.For example, when I go to the airport and ask the ticket agent for 19 to the plane, he or she will always pick up the phone and call a ground hostess in a very low voice.“Hi, Jane, we've got a 76 here.” I have concluded that the word “ 20 ” is not used because they are unwilling to inform me of my condition of which I may not have been previously 21 .
On the other hand, others know that of course I can hear, but believe that I can't talk. Once I became ill and was hospitalized. Immediately after I was 22 , I was wheeled down to the X - ray room.Just at the door an elderly woman (judging from her voice) asked the orderly (護(hù)工) who had been wheeling me: “What is his name?” “What’s your name?” the orderly 23 to me. “Harold Krents”, I replied. “Harold Krents”, he repeated.“When was he born?”“When were you born?”…This continued for about five minutes before I finally interrupted, “Look, this is absolutely 24 . OK, I can't see, but it's got to become pretty 25 to both of you that I don't need an interpreter.” “He says he doesn't need an interpreter,” the orderly repeated to the woman.
The 26 misunderstanding of all is the view that because I can't see, I can't 27 .
I was turned down by over forty law firms， 28 my qualifications included a degree and a good ranking from Harvard Law School.The 29 to find jobs, the continuous 30 of being told that it was impossible for a blind person to 31 law, the rejection letter, not based on my lack of 32 but rather on my disability, will always remain one of the most upsetting experiences of my life.
33 ，the Department of Labor issued laws that demand equal 34 opportunities for the disabled. The business community's response has been 35 . The attitude towards the disabled is beginning to change.

A
Mickey's Goal
Last night was the last game for my eight-year-old son's soccer team. It was the final quarter. The score was two to one, my son's team in the lead. Parents surrounded the playground, offering encouragement.
With less than ten seconds remaining, the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son's teammate, Mickey O'Donnel. With shouts of "Kick it!" echoing across the playground, Mickey turned around and gave it everything he had. All around me the crowd erupted (沸騰). O'Donnel had scored!
Then there was silence. Mickey had scored all right, but in the wrong goal, ending the game in a tie (平局). For a moment there was a total hush. You see, Mickey has Down Syndrome and for him there is no such thing as a wrong goal. All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey. He had even been known to hug the opposing players when they scored.
The silence was finally broken when Mickey, his face filled with joy, hugged my son tightly and shouted, "I scored! I scored. Everybody won! Everybody won!" For a moment I held my breath, not sure how my son would react. I need not have worried. I watched, through tears, as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five salute and started chanting, "Way to go Mickey! Way to go Mickey!" Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey, joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal.
Later that night, when my daughter asked who had won, I smiled as I replied, "It was a tie. Everybody won."36. What was the result of the soccer match?
A. Two to two, equal to both the teams.

She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last for ever. But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.
The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louver Museum where it is housed.
“The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,” the museum said. Visitors have noticed changes but repairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state.
Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “It’s because direct vision (視覺) is excellent at picking up details, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”
However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France’s King Francis I in 1519.
In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louver by a former employee, who took it out of the museum, hidden under his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later. During World WarⅡ, the French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.44. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means the Mona Lisa ________.
A. will lose its value B. is being damaged after so many years
C. will rot away D. is getting more valuable with years passing
45. The smile of the Mona Lisa can only be seen ________.
A. by indirect vision B. at a distance C. by direct vision D. in shadows
46. Choose the right order about the happenings onto Mona Lisa.
a. It was stolen from the Louver.
b. Its painter sold it to King Francis I.
c. Its state of health was checked.
d. It was returned to France and housed in the Louver Museum.
e. It was hidden and protected against Germans.
A. b-a-d-e-c B. d-e-c-b-a C. d-a-e-c-b D. b-c-a-d-e
47. It may add to the difficulty in repairing the painting in that ________.
A. experts haven’t noticed changes in its shape as visitors do
B. it is likely to be stolen again when it’s under repair
C. it is uncertain which country, Italy or France, should take charge
D. experts aren’t sure about the materials and the chemical state of its oil paint D
Imagine you’re at a party full of strangers. You’re nervous. Who are these people? How do you start a conversation? Fortunately, you’ve got a thing that sends out energy at tiny chips in everyone’s name tag (標(biāo)簽). The chips send back name, job, hobbies, and the time available for meeting---whatever. Making new friends becomes simple.
This hasn’t quite happened in real life. But the world is already experiencing a revolution using RFID technology.
An RFID tag with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product, under your pet’s skin, even under your own skin. Passive RFID tags have no energy source---batteries because they do not need it. The energy comes from the reader, a scanning device, which sends out energy (for example, radio waves) that starts up the tag immediately.
Such a tag carries information specific to that object, and the data can be updated. Already, RFID technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport. Doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin that will help locate and obtain a patient’s medical records. At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same chip gets you into the VIP (very important person) section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm.
Take a step back: 10 or 12 years ago, you would have heard about the coming age of computing. One example always seemed to surface: Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk. The concept was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make ordinary life simpler.
RFID tags are a small part of this phenomenon. “The world is going to be a loosely coupled set of individual small devices, connected wirelessly,” predicts Dr.J.Reich. Human right supporters are nervous about the possibilities of such technology. It goes too far tracking school kids through RFID tags, they say. We imagine a world in which a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you drank it. And how many beers. Accompanied by how many biscuits.
When Marconi invented radio, he thought it would be used for ship-to-shore communication. Not for pop music. Who knows how RFID and related technologies will be used in the future. Here’s a wild guess: Not for buying milk.
48. The article is meant to_______.
A. warn people of the possible risks in adopting RFID technology
B. explain the benefits brought about by RFID technology
C. convince people of the uses of RFID technology
D. predict the applications of RFID technology
49. We know from the passage that with the help of RFID tags, people_______.
A. will have no trouble getting data about others
B. will have more energy for conversation
C. will have more time to make friends
D. won’t feel shy at parties any longer
50. Passive RFID tags chiefly consist of _______.
A. scanning devices B. radio waves C. batteries D. chips
51. Why are some people worried about RFID technology?
A. Because children will be tracked by strangers.
B. Because market competition will become more fierce.
C. Because their private lives will be greatly affected.
D. Because customers will be forced to buy more products.

Until I was twelve years old, I thought everyone in the world knew about the grinnies, if I thought about the term at all — which is unlikely. After all, everyone in my family used the word quite naturally, and we understood each other. So far as I knew, it was a word like any other word — like bath, or chocolate, or homework. But it was my homework which led to my discovery that grinnies was a word not known outside my family.
My last report card had said that I was a “C” student in English, and my parents, both teachers, decided that no child of theirs would be just an average student of anything. So nightly I spelled words aloud and answered questions about the fine points of grammar. I wrote and rewrote and rewrote every composition until I convinced my mother that I could make no more improvements. And the hard work paid off. One day the teacher returned compositions, and there it was — a big fat, bright red “A” on the top of my paper. Naturally, I was delighted, but I didn’t know I was attracting attention until the teacher spoke sharply, “Helen, what are you doing?”
Called suddenly out of my happy thoughts, I said “Oh, I’ve got the grinnies!” The teacher and my classmates burst into laughter, and then I understood that grinnies were used inside my family. Other people were not so lucky.
And it is really lucky to have the grinnies, an uncontrollable, natural state of great pleasure. Grinnies are shown on the outside by sparkling eyes and a wide, wide smile — not just any smile, but one that shows the teeth and stretches the mouth to its limits. A person experiencing the grinnies appears to be all mouth. On the inside grinnies are characterized by a feeling of joyful anxiety. Grinnies usually last just a few seconds, but they can come and go. Sometimes, when life seems just perfect, I have occasional attacks of the grinnies for a whole day.
The term originated in my mother’s family. Her younger sister, Rose, who had deep dimples (酒窩), often expressed her pleasure with such a grin that the dimples appeared to become permanent. When Rose was about four, she started explaining her funny look by saying, “I have the grinnies”. The term caught on, and it has been an important word in our family now for two generations.
The occasion doesn’t matter. Anything can bring on the grinnies — just so long as one feels great delight. When my brother finally rode his bicycle — without training wheels — from our house to the corner and back, he came home with the grinnies. When I was little, my mother’s announcement that we would have homemade ice cream for dessert always gave me the grinnies. My father had the grinnies when I was chosen to make a speech at the end-of-school-year ceremony. Grinnies can be brought on by a good meal, a sense of pride, a new friend, a telephone call from someone special, an achievement. Or sometimes one gets the grinnies for no reason at all: just a sudden sense of happiness can bring on a case. Whatever brings them on, an attack of the grinnies is among life’s greatest pleasures.
In fact, now that I look back on the experience, I feel sorry for my seventh-grade teacher. I think it’s a pity that she didn’t know the word grinnies. It’s such a useful term for saying, “I’m really, really pleased!”
52. After the writer was twelve years old, she ______.
A. thought everyone knew the meaning of “grinnies”
B. equaled “grinnies” to “bath” or “chocolate” in meaning
C. got to know “grinnies” was used only inside her family
D. discovered the word “grinnies” through her mother
53. When her English teacher called her name, the writer was ______.
A. looking at the big “A” on the top of her paper
B. listening to her English teacher attentively
C. too happy to notice what’s happening around her
D. busy rewriting and improving her compositions
54. According to the writer, the word “grinnies” originates from______.
A. her mother B. her aunt C. her brother D. her father
55. What method does the writer use to explain “grinnies”?
A. Cause and effect. B. Examples.
C. Comparison and contrast. D. Process.

More than one American dislike getting advice from their family members. They turn to "strangers". While they need advice, they don't usually go to people they know. Instead， many of them wrote letters to newspapers and magazine that give advice on many different subjects included family problems, health, child care, and even on how to buy a house. Most newspapers regular print letters from readers with problems. Along with letters there are answers written by people who are supposed to know what to solve such problems. Some of these writers are doctors. Others are lawyers and educators. But two of the most famous writers of advice are women who without special training for this kind of work.
