Then one night at a high school dance, a remark, not intended for my 12 , injured my youthful happiness: “That girl, what a pity she is blind.” Blind! A(n) 13 word that implied everything dark, blank and helpless. 14 I turned and called out, “Please dont feel sorry for me, Im having lots of fun.” 15 the fun was not to last.In college years, I began to struggle with the problem of earning a living. Part-time teaching of piano and occasional giving concerts proved only 16 sources of economic support. In terms of time and effort involved, the financial return was 17 . Self-doubt and dark moods sparked within me. 18 to my misery was the repeated experience of knowing my sisters and friends dating excitedly. How 19 I was to my piano, 20 I could dissolve my frustration, accompanied by Chopin, Brahms, and Beethoven. Then one day, I met a girl, an army nurse, whose faith was to change my life. As our acquaintance 21 into friendship, she sensed my 22 . She said, “Stop knocking on closed doors. I know your opportunity will come. Youre trying too hard. Why dont you relax? And have you ever tried 23 ?” The idea was strange to me. I had always believed that if you wanted 24 , you had to go and get it for yourself. Yet, my sincerity and hard work had yielded poor returns, so I was 25 to try anything else. Self-consciously, I performed the daily practice of prayer. I said, “God, show me the 26 for which You sent me to this world. In the years to follow, the answers began to arrive, satisfying 27 my most optimistic expectation. One of the answers was Enchanted Hills, where my 28 friend and I had the privilege of seeing blind children come alive in Gods out-of-doors. 29 are the sources of pleasure and comfort I have found in friendship, and most important of all, I 30 closer to God and, through Him, to immortality (永生).11.

There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and suddenly, I became invisible, absent from the conversation.The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent. Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communication technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction. With email and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice-mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.As almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated, the emotional distance index goes up. You cant even call a person to get the phone number of another person any more. Directory assistance is almost always fully automated.I am not against modern technology. I own a cell phone, an ATM card, a voice-mail system, and an email account. Giving them up isnt wise. Theyre a great help to us. Its some of their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy.More and more, I find myself hiding behind email to do a job meant for conversations or being relieved with voice-mail picking up because I dont really have time to talk.

Can the guy be held responsible for the womans death? Prosecutors (公诉人) said that he can under the states murder rule, which allows someone to be charged with murder if he or she causes another persons death while committing or fleeing from a severe crimeeven if he or she doesnt kill someone on purpose.But, medically speaking, can someone actually be frightened to death? We asked Martin Samuels, chairman of the neurology department at Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston.Absolutely, no question about it.The body has a natural protective method called the fight-or-flight response, which was originally described by Walter Cannon，chairman of Harvard Universitys physiology department from 1906 to 1942. If, in the wild, an animal is faced with a life-threatening situation, the automatic nervous system responds by increasing heart rate, increasing blood flow to the muscles, and slowing digestion, among other things. All of this increases the chances of succeeding in a fight or running away from an aggressive beast. This process certainly would be of help to early humans. However, in the modern world there is obvious decline of the fight-or-flight response.39. What is Martin Samuels attitude to the possibility of being frightened to death?A. Approval. B. Disapproval. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.40. What can we learn about the fight-or-flight response according to the passage?A. The fight-or-flight response was raised and proved by Martin Samuels.B. It is a natural protective method that cant be found in all creatures but humans.C. The ancient humans had a better fight-or-flight response than modern ones.D. The fight-or-flight response is beneficial to both our actions and organs.41. What activity can we infer is less likely to damage the organs?A. Winning an unexpected fortune. B. Missing a dead family member.C. Watching a horror movie. D. Listening to a sweet song.42. The purpose of the passage is _.A. to explain why people will die of a heart attackB. to offer some advice on protecting us from heart failureC. to compare different kinds of feelings to cause a deathD. to show strong emotions can cause a sudden deathD Who do you think breaks the law in our society? If you believe that only tough guys commit crimes, you may have to think again. Unlike in the movies, we cant divide the world into bad guys and model citizens. Real life is much more complex. In the same way that diseases range from the common cold to fatal forms of cancer, crimes vary in degree. For example, smoking in an elevator will inconvenience people, but much less than threatening them with a gun.In addition to breaking the law themselves, people tolerate various levels of crime. Why can we tolerate some crimes? It may be that, by seeing others do something, we accept it more easily. For instance, most people will find it easier to speed on a highway when everybody else is driving over the speed limit. When people celebrate a sports championship, if they see someone breaking store windows, they might start breaking windows themselves or even steal from the store. So the people around us influence how much law-breaking we can tolerate.We must also wonder whether seeing violence on television or reading about it in the newspapers every day makes us tolerate crime more than we should. We become used to seeing blood on the news on television, or in full color in newspapers and magazines. Because we see thousands of dead people on TV, maybe we just try to ignore the situation behind the violence.If so many citizens tolerate violence and crime, or even commit crimes themselves, it may simply be because of the human mind. Our minds may not care about specific laws. Instead, our minds may have a system of values that usually prevents us from hurting other people to improve our own lives. Yet, when it comes to respecting the rights of a mass of anonymous (不知名的) individuals, we might not be so responsible. While most people would not steal a wallet containing $50, they may not mind cheating on taxes, because cheating on taxes does not hurt any one person. It hurts society, but “society” remains an abstract idea that is not as real as a neighbor or a friends friend.When we realize that so many people have misunderstandings of law-breaking, it is not surprising that so many people tolerate crimes, or even break laws, including me. But how could we improve the level of honesty in our society? Would strict laws help make our society better? Probably not. Honesty will have to come from social pressure: in the family, at school, on the job, each and every one of us can encourage honesty by showing which behavior is unacceptable. And teaching respect should become everyones responsibility. 43. According to the author, “Real life is much more complex.” probably means .A. there is a wide range of people and crimes in the real lifeB. smoking in an elevator goes against laws in the real lifeC. there are much more crimes than diseases in the real lifeD. some model citizens sometimes break laws in the real life44. What does the author think of the people who cheat on taxes?A. They take no notice of the human mind.B. They break the laws unaccepted in their minds.C. They arent concerned about some particular laws.D. They hurt other people to improve their own lives.45. People tolerate violence and crime because .A. their behavior is the same as that of most other peopleB. they pay no attention to the truth behind the crimesC. most unlawful acts are not harmful to the individualD. they hold mistaken beliefs about law-breaking46. What is the authors purpose in writing this passage?A. To discuss whether laws are strict enough.B. To remind people to behave with honesty.C. To show people the importance of education.D. To explain why many people have criminal records.EOur particular parenting style reflects our own way of “looking”. Heres a great piece of writing reflecting parents particular ways on the parenting style that have become known humorously as helicopter parenting and submarine parenting.Helicopter parents hover over their children, managing every aspect of their childs life. On the contrary, submarine parents remain “hidden” coming to the surface when guidance is needed.While helicopter parents may have the best intentions, in reality, they are raising children with few problem solving skills. Children with hovering parents never get the chance to face disappointment and build up their ability to recover from misfortune.Think about your typical submarine. Submarines usually remain underwater. In case of a need for emergency surfacing, submarines can rise so quickly. They are driven partially out of the water. Submarine parents also remain out of sight, yet able to appear in the case of an emergency.I admit Im a submarine mom. My job as a parent is to have fun with my daughters while letting them explore and learn natural consequences. My older daughter found herself acting in commercials and making more than minimum wage as a teen. To give her a sense of the real world, I insisted she spend three we
