It was a difficult job as Helen was unable to see, hear or speak because of illness.Anne had been suggested to the Kellers by her university professor，a close friend of Mr. Keller. Before she arrived, Anne expected her new pupil to be a quiet, weak child. But Helen was nothing like that. When Anne first walked through the Kellers door, the energetic Helen nearly knocked her over in her hurry to feel Annes face, clothing and bag.Helen was used to visitors bringing her sweets, and angrily tried to force open Annes case to take her candy. But Anne calmed her down by allowing Helen to play with her watch. So began one of the most successful student-teacher relationships in history.Anne Sullivan was only twenty years old when she began teaching Helen. She had to not only teach the child all the usual school subjects, but also control Helens sometimes wild behaviour.Her well-meaning parents allowed Helen to do as she liked at home. Realizing that such an environment was unsuitable for learning, Anne requested that she and Helen live in a small house nearby.As soon as Helen began learning, it became clear she was especially intelligent. She quickly learned to read and write, and by the age of ten she could also speak.In 1900, Helen started studying at Radcliffe University, and graduated first in her class in 1904. She was the very first blind and deaf person to get a university degree. How did she do it? Anne Sullivan read all of Helens books and then signed the information into her hand. Anne remained at Helens side until her death in 1936. Helen became a world-famous writer, and fought for disabled peoples rights until her death on June 1,1968.31 . How did Anne come to work at the Kellers home?AShe replied to a job advertisement.BShe was introduced by her family friend.CShe was recommended by her university professor.DShe met Mr. Keller while studying at university.32 . What surprised Anne most about Helen when they first met?AHow quiet and weak Helen was.BHelen clamed Anne down.CHelens parents treated her terribly.DHow forceful Helen was.33 . Why did Anne ask to move into a small house with Helen?ABecause Anne didnt like Helens parents at all.BBecause Anne wanted Helen to grow up freely.CBecause Helen was especially intelligent and she learned to read quickly.DBecause Anne hoped to create a good environment for Helens learning.34 . Which statement can we infer from the passage?AAnne cared little about Helens behavior.BHelens success had nothing to do with Annes help.CBoth Anne and Helen were well educated.DBoth Anne and Helen came from rich families.Sunny English ClubFor students16:00 18:00 Every Saturday200 Yuan a month9,Zhou Yu StreetTel: 3785290Foreign teachers, English songs and films and more!Ocean Museum9:0017:00 From Thursday to SundayTicket: 50 yuan132 Xue Yuan Street Tel: 5439871Show you a full picture of sea lives!Health Center9:0017:3016 Yong Le Street Tel: 3801451Free examinations for those over 70Give you good advice to keep healthy!35 .

You have to pay a fine of up to 20,000 yuan if you break the rule. While the use of e-cigarettes is allowed in many other cities, is it necessary to do so? Lets share our readers opinions.Andrew (US) Smoking of all kinds should be banned. Smoking is a silent killer which not just kills the smokers but also the people around the smokers.Li Wei (China) Not only does the e-cigarette not help smokers to give up smoking, but also it encourages young and old nonsmokers to start smoking, and finally they will smoke the real thing! And the smoke from e-cigarettes is just as bad for the health of others who do not smoke!Edward (Canada) E-cigarette is another choice to smoking. I picked one up two years ago, and have not had a real cigarette since that day. As a matter of fact, I still have four packages of Zhonghua sitting on my shelf to remind me of that bad habit that I started over 40 years.Wang Lei (China) E-cigarette might be better than real cigarettes, but they still are very closely related to cigarettes. E-cigarette not only causes dangerous side effects（副作用） but also harms the people around you through second-hand smoking.Chris (US) People use e-cigarettes to give up smoking. Im all for banning their sales to kids. Nicotine（尼古丁） is harmful, but if theyre going to smoke anyway, arent e-cigarettes better than real cigarettes?Should e-smoking be banned in public?

While I was waiting for my drink, I realized there were other people in the place, but I sensed loneliness (孤独). I saw their bodies, but I could not feel their minds because their minds belonged to the Net.I stood up and walked between the tables. When I came to the biggest computer, I saw a thin, small man sitting in front of it. “Im Steve,” he finally answered after I asked him several times what his name was. “I cannot talk with you. Im busy,” he said. He was chatting online and, at the same time, he was playing a computer game. I was surprised.Why didnt Steve want t
