One freezing winter day when Medicine Crow was just five or six years old, his grandfather told him to run around the outside of the house without his shoes on. It might sound crazy, but there was a reason. He was training me to be a warrior (勇士) ! Every day his grandfather asked him to run farther. And pretty soon Medicine Crow became tough and strong enough not to be hurt by the cold like warriors form the old days. That training helped him become chief of the Crow tribe when he grew up. To qualify (取得资格) , a warrior must have the strength and know how to carry out four dangerous, death-defying (挑战死亡) actions, a process called counting coup. During World War II, while serving in the United States Army, Medicine Crow completed those acts of bravery-including stealing horses from the enemy. He tells that exciting tale along with many others in the book, Counting Coup: Becoming a Crow Chief on the Reservation and Beyond. His stories are unusual because he grew up at a time of great change for the Crow people. Medicine Crows grandparents taught him how Crow Indians lived before the US government sent them to a reservation in 1884. Yet he lived on the reservation and learned about the modern white mans world as well. Want to read about what it was like living on the reservation?

This year, the Childrens Theater has chosen productions to gowith the books read in the local elementary schools, and The Boxcar Children fits perfectly with this mission. Based on the classic novel by Gertrude Chandler Warner, The Boxcar Children explores family togetherness in a whole new way.

The Boxcar Children takes the viewer on an unforgettable journey of discovery and imagination as the children form a family of their own. The Boxcar Children is truly a great story of human survival, said Anderson. The play essentially shows what everyone dreams as a child-making it on your own.

Everybody knows at least a few other people, he reasoned, and those people know other people. Therefore, just going through the people you know, you should be able to contact any person on earth. Milgram conducted experiments by sending letters to his acquaintances without choosing, asking them to pass the letter on through their friends to an unknown person. His experiments, confirmed later with e-mail tests, showed that were all connected by no more than six degrees of separation. That is, you can reach any person in the world through a chain of six people. It might be comforting to know that your friends friends friends friends friend knows Bill Gates or JenniferLopez, but its not really that useful. But thats changing now, thanks to the development of online databases. While many people use their PCs to keep track of their contacts and address books, new services like Friendster and Spoke combine those address books together. This way youre not only in touch with your own friends, but with their friends and their friends friends. Looking for someone who works in marketing at Sony Music in Tokyo? Going to Paris for the weekend and looking for someone to have dinner with? Just check the Friendster Files-theres sure to be a friend of a friend of a friend in there. So whats the catch? If you want to use Friendster or similar services, you need to build a profile including your real name, where you work, your job, where you went to school and who your friends are. This lack of anonymity (匿名) might seem likely to scare users off, but apparently people are hungry for contact with real people: In less than nine months, Friendster has already signed up over four million users.64.

People at Sony Music in Tokyo often use it. D. It is a new online tool which makes you look for one easily.67. According to the passage, Friendsters lack of anonymity _. A. doesnt affect its popularity B. does harm to its users privacy C. has make it well-known D. has resulted in more users D Experts say the problem of learning disabilities is not with intelligence or the willingness to work hard, which, however, is that some peoples brains process information differently. By definition, people with learning disabilities have average or above-average intelligence. But their disorders may affect |heir ability to gain knowledge and, as a result, limit their success in school or jobs. Different people can have different kinds of learning disabilities. One person may have difficulty with language development. Another may have problems with reading or writing. Still another may have trouble working with numbers. People can have more than one disorder, but reading is the most common area of difficulty. Learning disabilities are neurological (神经学的) disorders that affect the brains ability to store, process and communicate information. The National Center for Learning Disabilities estimates that fifteen million Americans, or five percent, are affected. The group says three million students in the United States receive some kind of special help in school because of learning disabilities. There are different names for different disorders. For example, a person who has difficulty reading may have dyslexia (阅读困难). Someone who has trouble with mathematics may have dyscalculia (计算障碍). Learning disabilities may help explain why some students do not perform as well in school as intelligence tests suggest they should. People with a learning disability may have trouble following directions. Or they may not know how to star a task. Children who have problems connecting letters with sounds or understanding what they read may be showing signs of learning disabilities. But since these are a group of disorders, there is no one single sign to look for. Experts say learning disabilities cannot be cured. But people can learn ways to deal with their disorders. Teachers and parents can provide support that will help students learn successfully.68. Which of the following is related to learning disabilities according to experts? A. Some people are unwilling to work hard. B. Some peoples brains deal with information differently. C. Some people have lower intelligence. D. Some people have laid a poor foundation of learning.69. What is the most common area of learning difficulty? A. Writing. B. Reading. C. Language. D. Number.70. We can learn from the passage that _. A. a student with dyslexia or dyscalculia has a learning disability B. one person with a learning disability has only one disorder C. people with a learning disability can follow directions D. learning disabilities can Ire cured by some special doctors71. What can people do to deal with learning disabilities? A. Follow expert advice to take some medicine. B. Learn ways and receive support from teachers and parents. C. Teachers and parents should always be strict with children. D. Form a good habit of reading all kinds of books.E Research had suggested certain vitamin supplements (补充物) do not stretch life and could even lead to a premature death. A review of 67 studies found no convincing evidence that antioxidant (抗氧化剂) supplements cut the risk of dying. Scientists at Copenhagen University said vitamins A and E could interfere with the bodys natural defences. Even more, beta-carotene (胡萝卜素), vitamin A, and vitamin E seem to increase deaths, according to he review by the respected Cochrane Collaboration. The research involved selecting various studies from 817 on beta-carotene, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitami
