My job was to 21 behind the runners in an ambulance 22 any of them needed medical attention. The driver and I were in an air-conditioned ambulance behind approximately one hundred athletes 23 to hear the sharp crack of the starting gun.“Were supposed to stay behind the 24 runner, so take it slowly,” I said to the driver, Dough, as we began to creep forward.“Lets 25 hope all the runners are fast!” he laughed.As they began to pace themselves, the front runners started to 26 . It was then that my 27 were drawn to the woman in blue silk running shorts and a baggy white T-shirt.“Doug, look!”We knew we were already watching our “last runner”. Her feet were turned in, yet her left knee was turned out. Her legs were so crippled and 28 that it seemed impossible for her to be able to walk, let alone run a marathon.Doug and I watched in 29 as she slowly moved forward. We didnt say a thing. We would move forward a little bit, then stop and wait for her to 30 some distance. Then wed slowly move forward a little bit more.Finally, she was the 31 runner left in sight. Tears streamed down my face as I sat on the edge of my seat and watched with awe, amazement and even reverence(敬意) as she 32 forward with sheer determination through the last miles.When the 33 line came into sight, trash(垃圾) lay everywhere and the 34 crowds had long gone home. 35 , standing straight and ever so proud waited a man. He was 36 one end of a ribbon of crepe paper tied to a post. 37 slowly crossed through, leaving both ends of the paper fluttering behind her.I do not 38 this womans name, but that day she became a part of my lifea part I often depend on. For her, it wasnt about 39 the other runners or winning a trophy(奖品), it was about finishing what she had set out to do, no matter 40 .

If you dont, Yahoo is making it easier for you to check your e-mail, especially when youre on the go. “To learn more about Yahoo! by phone, press zero.” Its called “Yahoo! by phone”. The ideayou dont have to have a computer to access the Internet. Forget a mouse click. All you need is a touch tone phone(按键式电话机). Several smaller companies like Tell-me and Bevocal have already launched similar systems that use voice portals(语音门户). “They can listen to stock quotes, they can listen to news. They can listen to sports scores and they can listen to weather.” Lisa Pollack is the projects senior producer. She says this new technology which turns text into synthesized(合成的) speech, is helping to bridge the digital divide. She adds, “Nearly everybody has a telephone and the number of people that have telephones is larger than those who have PCs. And this is just one way for us to make it easier for people to access their information. Lets say youre expecting a message from a good friend of yours and youre maybe going to meet her for dinner. And you think she might have tried to contact you through e-mail, then you can call in and listen to your e-mail. And she says you dont have to computer-savvy(懂电脑的) to use it. Here is how it works. Just dial 1800-myyahoo, punch in your code and listen. “Hi and welcome to Yahoo!” So what it really does is to release people from the electronic tether(范围) to their PCs, so they now can access their information wherever they are. “Thank you for using Yahoo. Goodbye!”41. What does “Yahoo! by phone” mean?A. You can get the information from the Internet by using a special phone instead of a computer.B. You can give a call by getting on Yahoo.C.

Nearly everybody has a personal computer.B. You have to be familiar with the basic knowledge of computer.C. Its hard to use the new technology of “Yahoo! by phone.”.D. Telephone is an important tool for people to get the information from the Internet.43. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Computers wont be used to send and check e-mails.B. Phones are more useful than computers.C. You dont have to use a computer to check your e-mail.D. You can listen to any information you want even if you speak with an accent.44. The passage mainly _.A. introduces a new function of the telephoneB. tells us how to access the Internet by phoneC. tells us the advantages of listening to the information by phoneD. introduces a new technology which can make life easierB Ten years ago, young students would have been proud to show off a new schoolbag or pencil box at the start of a term. But these days, its not enough. If going to back to school only means new clothes and backpacks to you, youre falling out-of-date. Teenagers in big cities now look for all the latest high-tech things to show off to their classmates. Mobile phones, diskmans(CD players), MP3 players, electronic dictionariesthe list is endless. “We need to keep in touch with our friends as well as enjoy our lives, so my parents understand why I need a mobile phone and a diskman.” Wu said. She often uses her mobile phone to text message to her friends. Like other teenagers, Wu loves to shop in CD stores, searching for new albums by her favorite singersJeff Chang, Jay Chou, and Sun Yanzi. As for the Dictaphone, she said she used it in her science classes to play back her teachers lectures when going over the difficult parts at home. According to Wu, 90 percent of her classmates have mobile phones and more than 85 percent have a diskman. The electronic dictionaries are helpful in English class, so almost all students own one each. Although many high school students each own a diskman or MP3 player, Sun Jun from Shanghai doesnt. She isnt interested in changing her old tape player for a newer CD player. However, she thinks a mobile phone is a must for her and each of her senior 3 classmates. They dont often go home so its important for them, she says, to have mobile phones to keep in touch with their families.45. The text mainly tells us that students nowadays _. A. like to show offB. are quite different from ten years ago C. have much better living and studying conditionsD. like to buy expensive things46. We can infer from the text that _.A. not many students had a new schoolbag or a pencil box ten years agoB. now students dont like schoolbags or pencil boxesC. every student in big cities has such hi-tech things as a diskmanD. these days going back to school means new clothes and backpacks47. Why do most students buy mobile phone? A. To show off to their schoolmatesB. To send messages to their friends C. To keep in touch with their friends and familiesD. To learn English with it.48. The underlined word “Dictaphone” probably refers to _.A. a machine that can play CD and VCDB. a telephone that can record messagesC. a machine that can record and play back what people sayD. a radio that can receive wireless programmesCFrank Lloyd Wright probably is the greatest architect that the United States has ever produced. He had a natural ability to design buildings. His buildings were not only beautiful, but they were also functional. They fit their purposes very well. Wrights churches, for example, make people feel like thinking and praying. His office buildings make people enjoy working, and his houses make people feel comfortable, at home. However, Frank Lloyd Wrights beautiful, functional buildings are not the only reason that he is famous. There is another reason.Frank Lloyd Wright is called the greatest American architect because he started an American style in architecture. Most of the architecture in the United States before Wright was really European, not American. Wrights buildings do no look like old European buildings. They have their own style. Wrights ideas about style are still used in the United States and in other parts of the world.The most important idea in Frank Lloyd Wrights Style of Architecture is that a building must fit its purpose and the land around it. His houses are often called “grass-land houses” because their lines are similar to the lines on the grass-land. Both the lines of the grass-land and the lines of Wrights house are parallel(平行) to the horizon(地平线), the place where earth and sky seem to meet. They are horizontal lines. Most European style houses, in contrast(对比), have many vertical(垂直的) lines that form 90 angles with the horizon.49. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. The Influence of European Architecture on American ArchitectureB. The Buildings Designed by the Greatest Architect Frank Lloyd WrightC. The Influence of Architect Frank Lloyd Wright on American ArchitectureD. Frank Lloyd Wrights Contribution to the Improvement of Environment50. What do you know about American architecture before Wrights time?A. It hadnt formed its own style yet.B. It was a model of modern styleC. Most of the houses were designed by Europeans.D. Most of the houses were practical but not good-looking.51. What is the most important idea in Wrights style?A. Architecture should present a variety of designs.B. A building must have a large grass-land around itC. Architectural design should match natural surroundings.D. The function of a house is the most important in design.52. Which of the following styles of architecture is true of Wrights “grass-land houses”?A. The houses appear to stand on the horizon.B. The houses are built mainly on the grass-land.C. The houses have manly lines that form a right angle with the horizon.D. The houses are special in style with lines similar to those on the grass-land.DDear readers,Shanghai Voyage wants to see your holiday photosand we want to share them with everyone else.

But how you say it can be quite tricky. If you say to your children “Im sorry I got angry with you, but”, what follows that “but” can make the apology ineffective: “I had a bad day” or “your noise was giving me a headache” leaves the child who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior. Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say “Im sorry youre upset”; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the others person has done. These pseudo(虚假的)apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness. Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not turn to these pseudo-apologies. But even when presented with examples of true regret, children still need help to become aware of how difficult it is to say sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology. A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other childrens expectations can require an apology. A 12-year-old might need to be shown that taking away the biscuit tin wit
