Yet so few of us realize them. Often, a dream dies as quickly as it is born 36 we lack the confidence to keep it. When I was old enough, I realized that society puts a high 37 on youth, beauty and intellectual achievement. This discovery gave me some idea to 38 my dream.I know beauty is something I will never have. But I didnt see it as something 39 because it forced me to concentrate my energy to develop my 40 qualities. What people see in the handicapped（残疾）is only their 41 of being handicapped.

They have spent five years turning it into a beautiful home with six floors, winning three architectural prizes.“I love the space, and being private,” Elizabeth says. “You feel separated from the world. If I am in the kitchen, which is 25 meters above the ground floor, and the doorbell rings, I dont have to answer it because visitors cant see I am in!”There are 142 steps to the top so if I go up and down five or six times a day, its very good exercise! But having to carry heavy things to the top is terrible, so I never buy more than two bags of shopping from the supermarket at a time. Apart from that, its a brilliant place to live.“When we first saw the place, I asked my fathers advice about buying it, because we couldnt decide. After paying for it, we were a bit worried because it looked awful. But we really loved it, and knew how we wanted it to look.”“Living here can be difficult-yesterday I climbed a four-meter ladder to clean the windows. But when you stand on the roof you can see all the way out to sea on a clear day, and thats a wonderful experience. I am really glad we moved. ”56What is the writer trying to do in the text?

The “wagon” is a water wagon. In other words, a drinker has decided to change from alcohol to water. An Oklahoma newspaper wrote about a man who had a history of heavy drinking on Americas Fourth of July holiday. Said the newspaper, “We believe that his experience had lifted him onto the water wagon, but he was even drunker the next Fourth of July.”Why do people decided to go on the wagon? Well, usually because they are alcoholics. They loss control of themselves when they drink. If they take one alcoholic drink, then they want to drink another, and another, until all thought is gone.Alcoholism is a major social problem in countries throughout the world. The United States is no exception. Experts believe that several million Americans are alcoholics today. Their health care needs, car accidents, reduced job performance and other problems cost thousands of millions of dollars every year.In the early 1900s, many Americans joined in a campaign to make alcohol illegal in the United States. In 1920 an amendment was added to the Constitution. It made drinking or selling alcohol a crime. But the new law did not stop people from drinking. Criminals produced or imported alcohol illegally and sold it almost everywhere.After a few years Americans realized the so-called Prohibition Law did not work. So in 1933 another constitutional change was made, canceling the amendment that made alcohol illegal.In recent years Americans have taken other steps to deal with the problem of alcohol. One important action has been to increase the punishment for people who drive their automobiles after drinking alcohol. Many states now consider this to be a serious crime. Another important step has been to explain to children and students the danger of alcohol. Many schools now offer special programmes to teach young people about the problem. Doctors have been working to develop new drugs and treatment programmes to help alcoholics. Finally, alcoholics themselves are dealing with the problem of alcoholism. Many of them have “ gone on the wagon” and stopped drinking. They have joined the Alcoholics Anonymous group meeting regularly to discuss their problems and give each other support. “Going on the wagon” is not the only way to control alcoholism, but most alcoholic say it is the best way. They must give up alcohol completely so their own body and spirit can survive.61People decide to go on the wagon because .Athey enjoy having one drink after anotherBthey like the kind of drinks they get on the wagonCthey are afraid of losing their self-control in drinking againDthey are alcoholics and can not control themselves well62Americans are now taking steps to solve the problem of alcoholism by .Adecreasing the amount of alcohol drunk by driversBteaching young students how to drive safely after drinking alcoholCpunishing people more heavily for driving after drinking alcoholDgiving special courses to teach doctors about new drugs and treatments for alcoholics65In the United States today .Aalcoholism is not a major social problemBthere are no more than a million alcoholicsCthe problem of alcoholism costs thousands of millions of dollars every yearDalcoholism has caused a million automobile accidents a yearCAlthough I had left school against the advice of my teachers, I had, without telling anyone, tried to continue my studies in literature at evening classes. It was a tiresome walk from one end of the city to another and to sit among adults. I was the youngest in the class, so the friendship I knew at school was absent. I put up with it for a short period. It was too long a walk on cold winters nights and it was hard to put my heart into Shakespeare with wet shoes and trousers. So I continued reading books and started writing poetry at home.By chance, I won some prizes and awards for literature. A young woman from a TV company came to the college one day. She told me that I had won a national poetry award. I stared at her in astonishment and disbelief. She wanted to make a short film about me, to which I said: “No, I couldnt do that.” Not that I had any real excuse. I was just frightened. In the end she persuaded me that I should do it the following day. So I did. They made a short film of me reading one of my poems and I became more interested in literature than ever. I wondered what I should do after this, and decided some weeks later that I could not imagine myself spending the rest of my days dealing with machines. So one evening, I hesitatingly told my parents that I wanted to return to school. They were greatly surprised and, I think, a little afraid but they did not try to persuade me not to. They wanted to know if I was sure, if I knew what it meant and whether I realized that if I gave up my job training, it would be very difficult to get a good job. But nothing could stop me ,and they asked about the matter no further.64Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraphs above this passage? AThe writers unhappy childhood. BThe poor teaching quality of the writers school. CThe writers leaving school against his teachers advice. DWhether it was worth leaving school for job training.65After he won some prizes and awards for literature, a young woman from a TV company .Awanted to make his success known to the publicBcome to make friends with himCinvited him to make a speechDcame to tell him that he had become a very important personD“It hurts me more than you”, and “This is for your own good” These are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework. That was before we entered the permissive period in education when we decided it was all right not to push our children to do their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy on us. They thought that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left them to the teachers and went on holidays. Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing weve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students-so passive-and wonders what happened. Nothing was demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to childrens passivity. “Were talking about a generation of kids whove never been hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them. Instead of saying “go look it up”, you tell them the answer. It takes great energy to say no to kids.” Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. Its time for parents to end their holidays and come back to work. Its time to take the car away, to turn TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but its for their own good. Its s time to start telling them no again. 66We learn from the passage that the authors mother used to pay much attention to .Alearning LatinBteaching her child by punishmentCavoiding spoiling her childDschool education67By “permissive period in education” the author means a time .Awhen children are allowed to do what they wish toBwhen calculators are left to the teachersCwhen it is easy for us to be parentsDwhen it is hard for children to do their best in school.68Children are now becoming more inactive in study because .Athey watch too much TVBthey have done too much homeworkCtheyve
