the day I fell It was a bad fall I landed on a piece of glass that cut my eye badly My mom found a doctor who knew that if the eye were removed my face would look ugly so my scarred 有疤痕的 sightless cloudy gray eye lived on with me Sometimes people asked me embarrassing questions When kids played games I was always the monster I grew up imagining that everyone looked down on me Yet Mom would say to me Hold your head up high and face the world I began to rely on that saying As a child I thought Mom meant Be careful or you will fall down or bump into something because you are not looking As a teenager I usually looked down to hide my shame 羞愧 But I found that when I held my head up high people liked me In high school I even became the class president but on the inside I still felt like a freak 怪物 All I really wanted was to look like everyone else When things got really bad I would cry to my mom and she would look at me with loving eyes and say Hold your head up high and face the world Let them see the beauty that is inside When I met the man who became my husband we looked each other straight in the eye and he told me I was beautiful inside and out My mom s love was the spark 火花 that gave me confidence I had faced hardships and learned not only to appreciate myself but to have deep compassion 怜悯 for others Hold your head up high has been heard many times in my home Each of my children has felt its invitation I say it to my children The gift my mom gave 2 me lives on in another generation 56 Why did the author s mother tell her to hold her head up high and face the world A Because her mother wanted to show sympathy for her B Because her mother wanted her to be confident C Because her mother didn t want her to be seen as a monster D Because her mother thought the author looked prettier when she did that 57 Which of the following is TRUE according to the article A The author managed to get over her disability in high school B The author gave her children encouragement and love as her mother had given her C The author was always confident after the accident D In high school the author was chosen to be president of the student s union 58 The underlined sentence Each

benefited from their mother s words 59 Which would be the best title for the article A My mom s gift to meB How I found my life partner C My terrible childhood accidentD Disability is no shame B Do American children still learn handwriting in school In the age of the keyboard some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out 90 of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared 3 to teach handwriting Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10 15 minutes a day and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day which really for handwriting is pretty much Many adults remember learning that way by copying letters over and over again Today s thinking is that short periods of practice are better Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself Instead they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas After all that is why we write Handwriting involves two skills One is legibility which means forming the letters so they can be read The other is fluency writing without having to think about it Fluency continues to develop up until high school But not everyone masters these skills Teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school especially in the early years American children traditionally first learn to print and then to write in cursive 草体字 which connects the letters But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board which administers the SAT college admission test More than 75 percent of students choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive 60 We can learn from Paragraph 1 A teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in teaching job B most teachers prefer to teach handwriting C teachers spend little time in teaching handwriting D a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting entirely 61 Which of the following is WRONG for traditional handwriting in the USA A The students are taught by practicing a long period B The letters are repeated many times 4 C Handwriting includes two skills D To write in cursive is taught first 62 The best title for the passage is A How to improve handwriting in school B Right or wrong the death of handwriting C Handwriting involves two skills D Handwriting lessons are on the way out 63 The author s attitude towards whether still to learn handwriting in school is A negative B objective C critical D optimistic C Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight A recent research has found a new recipe of success According to the study if the cat is adopted before the dog and if they are introduced when still young less than 6 months for cats a year for dogs it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly Two thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog However it wasn t all sweetness and light There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25 of the homes while aggression and fighting were observed in 10 of the homes One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite For example when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression while a dog doing the same signals submission 恭维 In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully researchers observed a surprising behavior They are learning how to talk each other s language It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk dog and dogs can learn how to talk cat What s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence They can learn to read each other s body signals 5 suggesting that the two may have more in common than we preciously suspected Once familiar with each other s presence and body language cats and dogs can play together greet each other nose to nose and enjoy sleeping together in the sofa They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom 梳理 each other The significance of thi s research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets to people who don t get along including neighbors colleagues at work and even world superpowers If cats and dogs can learn to get along surely people have a good chance 64 The underlined word swimmingly in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to A early B sweetly C quickly D smoothly 65 Some cats and dogs may fight when A they are cold to each other B they look away from each other C they misunderstand each other s signals D they are introduced at an early age 66 It is suggested in paragraph 4 that cats and dogs A have common interests B are less different than we thought C have a common body language D are less intelligent than we expected 67 What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs A We should learn to live in harmony B We should knows more about animals C We should live in peace with animals D We should learn more body languages
