The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such a sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him. By and by he finally regained the courage to live on. On a hot summer afternoon he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all of a sudden. He stood under a large tree in order not to get himself wet. Unfortunately he was struck down to the ground by a lightning. The witnesses(目击者) thought him dead but he woke up some twenty minutes later, lying face down in muddy water below the tree. He felt that he was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he didnt dare to believe that he saw a plough lying near the wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him, she shouted to their neighbors for help. And he saw her and heard her voice for the first time in nearly 10 years. The news of Roberts regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread across his area, and many doctors came to prove the truth of the news. Most of them said that he gained sight and hearing again obviously from the knock of the lightning. However, none of them could give believable reasons. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Edwards lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock in a terrible accident, perhaps the only way for them to regain was by another sudden shock. 62. When Robert Edwards learned he lost both sight and hearing, he _.A. was looked down upon by his former companionsB. left his familyC. lost the courage of continuing his life D. regretted for what he had done63. Which word can best describe the feeling of Robert Edwards when he came to himself? A. Regretful. B. Pleasantly surprised.C. Nervous. D. Doubtful.64. When hearing the news that Robert had regained his sight and hearing, many doctors came here to_. A. treat the disease B. comfort him C. ask him for help D. know whether it was true.

Having been overseas before, I felt somewhat at ease with the idea of traveling abroad, particularly since I lived in Asia for a number of years. July 12 In the first city I visited, I traveled downtown by bus to have dinner and then went out to visit some of the local sites. I was surprised at the number of people selling their goods in different marketplaces, and I quickly figured out the custom of bargaining(讨价还价) over the price. And even if you feel youre getting a good deal, you might try walking away from the merchant, and there is the chance that the shop owner will call you back and even lower the price more in an attempt to get you to purchase something. July 14 No matter where I found myself today, I noticed a number of people who just stared at me as I walked by, as if I was from another planet. Although it was somewhat disquieting at first (particularly in the swimming pool locker room), I realized that the people were just curious, and I was even able to strike up a few conversations with some of the locals.July 16 Everyday brings new discoveries. I find that crossing the road isnt as easy as it seems. Bicycles, buses, people, and taxis fill the streets. And, in spite of the seemingly terrible conditions, people go about their business as if everything were routine（惯例）.I, on the other hand, tried to dash in and out of traffic to cross streets, weaving back and forth, to get to the other side. July 23I am preparing to return back home tomorrow, and one thing I have discovered something more important than all of my other experiences has been that there are often more similarities than differences between cultures. No matter what language and culture people share, they have a desire for friendship that bridges any cultural boundaries(边界). The people I have met have been wonderful hosts and friends, and I will treasure every moment of the trip. 67. What impressed the author most in the marketplace?A. The quality of goods seemed to vary widely from place to place. B. Shop owners would raise the price of goods if they saw you were a foreigner.C. The marketplaces are all crowded with people selling and buying thingsD. You could bargain over the price with shopkeepers to get the best deal68. What does the man say about the traffic conditions?A. People seem to pass through traffic as if unaffected by the disorder around them.B. Buses and taxis are the main means of transportation in many parts of the country.C. The flow of traffic, at times, remains constant due to a complicated road system. D. People often have a hard time dashing in and out of traffic to cross streets.69. What is one conclusion the man states at the end of his travel diary? A. Discovery of cultures through direct experience is key to cultural communication.B. Miscommunication is natural in the process of bridging cultural boundaries.C. All countries share some similar cultures in spite of different language and cultures.D. Languages and cultures have nothing to do with communication in different counties. DI am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my work stand in the way of being a good parent.I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓言) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.So heres what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion, the bigger paycheck, the larger house .Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have bee
