when everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, i could not.in my first literature class, mrs.smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. i raised my hand right away and said,“mrs.smith, you see, the doctor said i have attention problems. i might not be able to do it.”she glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”i tried, but i didnt finish the reading when the bell rang. i had to take it home.in the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. it was about a blind person, louis braille. he lived in a time when the blind couldnt get much education. but louis didnt give up. instead, h invented a reading system of raised dots（点）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.wasnt i the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? my thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. i completed the task within 40 minutes. indeed, i was no different from others; ijust needed a quieter place. if louis could find his way out of his problems, why should i ever give up?i didnt expect anything when i handled in my paper to mrs.smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an“a” on it. at the bottom of the paper were these words:“ see what you can do when you keep trying?”21.the author didnt finish the reading in class because.a.he was new to the classb.he was tried of literaturec.he had an attention disorderd.he wanted to take the task home 22.what do we know about louis braille from the passage?a.he had good sightb.he made a great invention.c.he gave up readingd.he learned a lot from school23.what was mrs.smith s attitude to the author at the end of the story?a.angryb.impatientc.sympatheticd.encouraging24.what is the main idea of the passage?a.the disabled should be treated with respect.b.a teacher can open up a new world to students.c.one can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.d.everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.bin ancient egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. modern businesses have been following his lead,with more tactics（策略）.one tactic involves where to display the goods. foe example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. they know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food（垃圾食品）later in their trip. in department stores, section is generally next to the womens cosmetics(化妆品) section：while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over cosmetics they might want to try later. besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers senses. stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. music sells goods, too. researchers in britain found that when french music was played, sales of french wine went up. when it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. they find that customers make decision in the first few second upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. a california builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. when entering the house, the customer would see the pacific ocean through the windows, and then the poll through an open stairway leading to the lower level. the instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.25.why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?a. to save customers times.b. to show they are high quality foods.c. to help sell junk food.d. to sell them at discount prices.26.according to paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?a. opening the store early in the morning.b. displaying british wines next to french ones.c. inviting customers to play music.d. filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.27.what is the california builders story intended to prove?a. the house structure is a key factor customers consider.b. the more costly the house is, the better it sells.c. an ocean view is much to the customers taste.d. a good first impression increases sales.28.what is the main purpose of the passage?a. to explain how businesses turn people into their customers.b. to introduces how businesses have grown from the past.c. to report researches on customer behavior.d. to show dishonest business practices.cshare with us would you like to have your writing published in this magazinethen let us know! we pay for stories, anecdotes and

naturally. the four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and, being a city animal, lost both her sheep and her sense of direction. then she ran along the edge of cliff( 悬崖) and fell 100 feet, bouncing off a rock into the sea.her owner mike holden panicked and celled the coastguard of cornwall, who turned up in seconds . six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90-minute search.three days later, a hurricane hit the coast near cornwall. mr. holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead. he comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.for the next two weeks, the holdens were heartbroken . then, one day, the phone rang and steve tregear, the coastguard of cornwall, asked holder if he would like his dog bark.a birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting desperately on a rock. while he sounded the alarm, a student from leeds climbed down the cliff to collect judy.the dog had initially been knocked unconscious(失去知觉的)but had survived by drinking water from a fresh scream at the base of the cliff. she may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge. “the dog was very thin and hungry,” steve tregear said , “it was a very dog. she survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water,” he added.it was ,as mr. holden admitted, “a minor miracle(奇迹)”. 33. the dog jody fell down the cliff when she was a. rescuing her owner b. caught in a hurricanec. blocked by a rock d.
