I was born with a cleft (分裂的) lip, and when I started to go to school, my classmates were constantly laughing at me. I couldnt even blow up a balloon.When my classmates asked, “What happened to your lip?” Id tell them that Id fallen as a baby and cut it on a piece of glass. Somehow it seemed more acceptable to have suffered an accident than to have been born different.Then I entered the second grade, and Mrs. Leonards class. She was round and pretty. Everyone loves her. But no one came to love her more than I did. And for a special reason.The time came for the yearly “hearing tests”. I was nearly unable to hear anything out of one ear. So I cheated. I had learned to watch other children and raised my hand when they did during group testing. The “whisper test” required a different trick: each child would go to the door of the classroom, turn sideways and cover one ear with a finger. And the teacher would say something very quietly from her desk, which the child would repeat. Then the same thing was done for the other ear. Nobody checked to see how tightly the untested ear was being covered, so I pretended to cover mine.My turn came. I turned my bad ear to her, covering the other ear with my finger, and then gently backed my finger out enough to be able to hear. I waited, and then heard the words that God had surely put into her mouth; seven words that changed my life forever.Mrs. Leonard, the pretty teacher I loved, said softly, “I wish you were my little girl.”61. The authors classmates were always laughing at her because she _. A. was born differentB. went to school at an old age C. could not blow up a balloon D. failed to win her teachers love62.

When hearing Mrs. Leonard words, the author felt _.A. astonished B. disappointedC. embarrassedD. moved 64. What might be the best title for this passage? A. My Life of Being Different B. A Small Expression of Love C. A Round and Pretty TeacherD. Words to Correct My MistakeBIt took some time for spring to arrive but now its here that UKs gardens are enjoying it.

CHis youth was nothing like yours, unless your name happens to be Justin Bieber or Emma Watson. At 14, Kirk Cameron was receiving 10,000 letters a month while acting as Mike Seaver in the sitcom (情景喜剧) Growing Pains. For children of the 1980s, every boy dreamt of having his brown leather coat, the modern parents, and the humor of Mike Seaver.Kirk was making $ 50,000 a week but had to deal with various things resulting from increasing popularity. “Kirk had a couple of ardent fans who followed and shadowed him. They kind of crossed the line and frightened all of us to some degree,” says another star of the sitcom. In 1986, the kid described his life to a magazine: “Im just going to have to get used to the uncomfortable parts, like not having a lot of privacy. Interviewer wants to know if being famous is making me breathless and I answer no, it isntit is a lot, but I can handle (处理) it.” However, people considered him the happiest guy on the planet. He was driving around the city in his favorite car. He flew to foreign countries for vacations. He tasted various foods in different restaurants on streets.In a recent interview, Kirk admitted that he once viewed the world as though he were the centre of it and began expecting things to be done for him. “Anything I wanted was given to me. That was what I expected because that was my reality,” he says. Though it was not easy for Kirk, he managed to treat himself as an ordinary person, with years of life experience.69.

Annoying Popularity with TroublesDWerewolves (狼人) arent the only creatures(生物) affected by the moons cycles. A full moon slightly affects peoples sleep, reports a Swiss team of scientists. Even peoples sleep in a lab without windows experienced a small shortfall in sleep once a month. To test the moons effect, 33 adult volunteers of both sexes and various ages spent several nights in a sleep lab. As they slept, researchers recorded their brain activity, eye movements and hormone (荷尔蒙) levels. On nights closer to a full moon, the subjects took an average of five minutes longer to fall asleep, and slept for 20 minutes less. In addition, brain activity decreased by 30 percent during the sleep stage that the brain normally uses to recover from its daylight work. And levels of hormone that help control sleep cycles dropped. On these nights, the sleepers complained of poor sleep quality even though they were unaware of the moons cycle. On the bright side, not a single participant turned into a werewolf.The Swiss team doesnt know how the moon affects sleep. The gravity (重力) of the moon causes ocean tides to rise and fall. But that force is too weak to affect sleep, Gajochen says. He believed some bodys biological clock may be tied to the moon cycles. There may be another explanation, says David Dinges. This sleep researcher at the University Of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia says that the body clock is very sensitive to light at night. Volunteers sleep could have been affected by exposure to extra moonlight before arriving at the lab.73. The writer mentioned “werewolves” in the first paragraph to _.A. prove that the moons cycles existB. draw peoples attention to the reportC. introduce a similar creature to readersD. warn people not to sleep alone in the lab74. What happened to the volunteers during the experiment on a full moon? A. They slept for about five minutes longer.B. Their brains never recovered from their work. C. They complained they were too tired to sleep.D. Their brains were not so active as they were 75. The last paragraph is developed mainly by _.A. analyzing causesB. explaining differencesC. making comparisonsD. following the time order 76. The passage is mainly about _. A. the sleeping problems caused by the moons cyclesB. the influence of the moon on human sleeping habitsC. the moons effect on sleeping and its possible reasonsD. the ways to improve sleep quality on a full moon nightERetirement is the point where a per
