Half the students sneered. The rest nearly fell out of their chairs laughing. “Dont be silly, only geniuses can become writers,” the English teacher said, “And you are getting a D this term.” I was so humiliated(羞辱) that I burst into tears.That night I wrote a short sad poem about broken dreams and mailed it to the Capris Weekly newspaper. To my astonishment, they published it and sent me two dollars. I was a published and paid writer. I showed it to my teacher and fellow students. They laughed. “Just plain dumb luck,” the teacher said. I tasted success. Id sold the first thing Id ever written. That was more than any of them had done and if it was just dumb luck, that was fine with me.During the next two years I sold dozens of poems, letters, jokes and recipes. By the time I graduated from high school, with a C minus average, I had scrapbooks filled with my published work. I never mentioned my writing to my teachers, friends or my family again. They were dream killers and if people must choose between their friends and their dreams, they must always choose their dreams.I had four children at the time, and the oldest was only four. While the children slept, I typed on my ancient typewriter. I wrote what I felt. It took nine months, just like a baby. A month later Crying Wind, the title of my book, became a best seller, was translated into fifteen languages and Braille and sold worldwide. I appeared on TV talk shows. I traveled from New York to California and Canada on promotional tours. My first book also became required reading in native American schools in Canada.People ask what college I attended, what degrees I had and what qualifications I have to be a writer. The answer is: “None.” I just write. Im not a genius. Im not gifted and I dont write right. To all those who dream of writing, Im shouting at you: “Yes, you can. Yes, you can. Dont listen to them.” I dont write right but Ive beaten the odds. Writing is easy, its fun and anyone can do it. Of course, a little dumb luck doesnt hurt.61. Why did many students laugh after hearing what the writer said? A. Because they didnt like him B. Because they wished he could be successful as a writer C. Because their teacher laughed, too D. Because they felt it impossible for him to succeed62. When the writer graduated from high school, _. A. he had become a famous writer B. he had made progress in his studies C. his classmates and teachers changed their attitudes towards himD. he decided he wouldnt become a writer63. What stopped him telling others about his writing? A. The characters in his story. B. His teacher. C. His early experience. D. His parents.64. What can we infer from the passage? A. It is difficult for a person, who cares about what others say, to succeed. B. It is important for a person to tell others what he wants to do. C. It is necessary for a person, who wants to succeed, to take others advice. D. It is impossible for an ordinary person to be a writer in the future.65. Which of the following is the best title? A. A famous writer B. I Hate My Classmates and Teachers C. I Never Write RightD. A Genius Can Be a WriterBWhat will man be like in the future in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively a short period of time, so we may suppose that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity(容量). As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and finally we shall need our brains more and more, and finally we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.66. The passage mainly tells us that _.A. Mans life will be different in the future B. Future man will look quite different from usC. Man is growing taller and uglier as time passes D. Mans organs functions will change67. What serves as the evidence that man is changing?A. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had. B. Mans hair is getting thinner and thinner.C. Mans arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.68. The change in mans size of the forehead is probably because _.A. he makes use of only 20% of the brains capacity B. his brain has grown larger over the past centuriesC. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on D. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time69. Which of the following is TRUE about a human being in the future?A. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful. B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.C. His fingers grow weaker because he doesnt have to make use of them.D. He thinks and feels in a different way.70. It is implied that _.A. human beings will become less attractive in the future B. parts of our bodies will become poorer if they are not used oftenC. human beings hope for a change in the future life D. future life is always predictable（可预测的） CThe iPhone, the iPad: each of Apples products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” - and many other brands are following suit. The BBCs iPlayer - which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet -used the title in 2008. A lovely bear - popular in the US and UK - that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version(简装本) of Londons Independent newspaper was started last week under the name “i”.In general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce(电子商务) first came into use.Most “i” products are targeted at （针对）young people and considering the major readers of Independents “i”, its no surprise that theyve selected this fashionable name.But its hard to see whats so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at Kings College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didnt have one clear definition（定义）,” he says.“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with portability (轻便) .”adds Thorne.Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last ten years.But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared. 71. People use iPlayer to _.A. listen to music B. make a callC. watch TV programs online D. read
