people stared at him with cruel interestchildren laughed at him and called him ape man （猿人）because his arms practically dragged on the groundhank went to school like other boyshis grades were good and he needed only eight years to finish his schooling instead of the usual twelveafter graduating from school, he worked his way through collegehe swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college officesduring all this busy life, he had been moving around on his stumpsbut one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longerhe would soon have to use a wheel chairhank felt himself got cold all overhowever, the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs（假腿）finally a leg maker was found and the day came when hank stood up before the mirror, for the first time he saw himself as he has always wanted to be a full five feet eight inches tallby this time he was already 26 years oldhank had to learn to use his new legsagain and again he marched the length of the room, and marched back againthere were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marchinghe went out on the streethe climbed stairs and learned to dancehe built a boat and learned to sail itwhen world war ii came, he talked the red cross into giving him a jobhe took the regular traininghe marched and drilled along with the other soldiersfew knew that he was leglessthis was the true story of hank viscardi, a man without legs56children laughed at hank and called him ape man because ahe didnt talk to thenbhe kept away from themchis arms touched the ground when he moved dhe couldnt use his arms57it can be inferred from the story that five feet eight inches tall is aan average height for a fully grown personbtoo tall for an average personctoo short for an average persondnone of the above58the sentence “he talked the red cross into giving him a job” implies that the red crossawas only glad to give him a jobbgave him a job because he was a good soldiercgave him a job after he talked to someone whom he knew in the organizationdwas not willing to give him to job at first59when hank marched and drilled along with the other soldiers, headid everything the other soldier didbdid most of the things the other soldiers didcdid most of the things the other soldiers diddtook some special training60the writer suggests that hank viscardi ahad no friendsbnever saw himself as different from otherscwas very shydwas too proud to accept help from othersbparents are creating an i want it now generation by satisfying childrens every demand at christmas, say experts. youngsters in britain are becoming increasingly selfish, claim the education analysts.behavioral consultant chris calland said: parents want to make christmas into magical fairytale for their kids. theres nothing wrong with that. the problem arises when it means always giving into all our childrens demands- even if they are beyond our price range or not age-appropriate.ms calland, who runs santa says no style sessions with colleague nicky hutchinson, added: many of us go into so much debt providing the gifts our children want that we spend the rest of the year paying off the bills. but so often the gifts weve carefully wrapped, once opened, are just pushed away because the very thing our little boy or girl was once so desperate for, they have now lost interest in.ms calland and ms hutchinson have drawn up a list of guidelines to help parents manage their offsprings(后代) christmas lists this year. they say that adults can actually improve their relationships with their children by resisting pester(纠缠) power.ms calland said: all too often we say yes because we want an easier life when the fact is that were only building up problems for the future. we are helping create a generation of youngsters who are blind to the needs of others and the necessity of hard work.children learn fast- if we sometimes change our mind, they quickly realize it might be worth lying on the floor and screaming for it. make sure you and your partner are working together on this. be consistent. and try not to get caught up in competition with other families or friends.61. how is the i want it now generation created?a. parents cant afford the gifts for their children.b. parents become heavily in debt.c. parents are trying to make christmas into a magical fairy tale.d. parents give children whatever they want at christmas.62. what is the main problem with the i want it now generation?a. they are quite self-centered.b. they like to live in fairy tales.c. they waste a lot of money on gifts.d. they cant keep their interest in gifts.63. what is probably the aim of santa says no style sessions?a. to advise on how to wrap gifts properly.b. to keep childrens interest in the gifts.c. to tell parents how to say no to childrens demands.d. to advise parents on what gifts to buy for children.64. according to the passage, we can infer that ms calland intends to _.a. analyze childrens behaviorb. give advice to parents.c. introduce a new generationd. give her support to parents.65. ms. calland would agree that parents should _.a. buy nothing for children at christmas.b. choose gifts carefully for children.c. let children choose their own gifts.d. avoid competing with others.cwhen we see well, we do not think about our eyes very oftenit is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes arepeople who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyeseverything else seems blurry（unclear）many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near-sightedthen people who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problemthey can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arms lengthif they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, tooother people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shapethey have what is called astigmatism（散光）this, too, can be corrected by glassessome peoples eyes become cloudy because of cataracts（白内障）long ago these people often became blindnow however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove thenhaving two good eyes is important for judging distanceseach eye sees things from a slightly different angle（角度）to prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object our of your other eyeyou will find the objects relation to the background and other things around it has changedthe difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object ispeople who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes61we should take good care of our eyes aonly when we can see wellbonly when we cannot see perfectlyceven if we can see welldonly when we realize how important our eyes are62when things far away seem unclear, one is probablyanear-sightedbfar-sighted castigmatic dsuffering from cataracts63the underlined word suffer in the third paragraph probably means aexperience bimaginecfeel pain dare

become one of the biggest and most successful business ventures（冒险事业） on the internet. basically, internet dating is a way to meet people for either friendship or dating without actually having to meet them in person first.the first thing to do if you decide to try internet dating is to build your profile（简介）, which includes your hobbies, hopes for the future, and so on. a photograph is optional(非必须的), but many sites claim that a photograph increases the number of people who look at your profile. many internet dating sites will charge a one-time registration fee to use their services.internet dating makes it possible to meet people from all over the world. you can even narrow the search down to your area by zip code(邮政编码). another advantage is that you can communicate by email before you meet in person. thousands of people have met, fallen in love, and married through internet dating. it is an excellent way for shy people to meet. it is also a way for people with busy lives to connect with others, and an easy way to meet people who share your interests.just as conventional dating and love, there are some pitfalls(陷进) to be aware of in internet dating. the person you have been talking to on the net may not be who they say they are. be very aware that there are some people who misrepresent their appearance or private details, such as marital status(婚姻状况), income, and so on, for their own reasons. it would not be the first time that someone has been taken in, and talk shows are full of cheating partners who have been caught dating over the internet in their spare time. nevertheless, taking a few simple precautions should help ensure that your internet dating is safe.71. the purpose of writing the passage is to _.a. persuade the readers to go dating on the internet b. inform us how to date on the internet.c. introduce internet dating to us. d. tell us never to date on
