Actually, they can draw very well,” said Guo Haiping, a contemporary artist in Nanjing.Recently, Guo spent three months living with the mentally retarded people at Nanjing Zu Tang Shan Psychiatric Hospital (精神病医院). When he was there, he taught them how to draw pictures. In three months, he collected more than 100 paintings drawn by the mentally retarded people, the Yangtze Evening News reported.The paintings shocked the artistic circle. This has raised a question to the normal people in society: how can we give up our prejudices against the mentally retarded people and view them from a totally new perspective (看法)?Before, the mentally retarded people in Nanjing had never touched painting brushes, nor did they know any painting techniques. Now, artists have begun to speak highly of their paintings. After seeing their works, Guo Haiping said this group of people and their works should “deserve more attention from society.”“In China, no one believes that they can draw paintings. We have so many prejudices against this group of people and we really dont know anything about their mysterious mental world,” Guo said.At Nanjing Zu Tang Shan Psychiatric Hospital, Guo let the mentally retarded people see some paintings and gave them water color brushes, color pencils, oil chalk and clay. He told them they could do whatever they wanted with these materials. He didnt teach them how to draw. He just encouraged them to pick up some of these materials and draw something. About 100 mentally retarded people in the hospital participated in the activity. During the three months stay in the hospital, Guo Haiping had seen them complete more than 300 works.Guo Haiping also came to know about these mentally retarded people and their mental world through the event. He had collected all the patients paintings and made them into a book. Many works drawn by the patients will be exhibited in Beijing this month.36. You can most probably read the text in _.A. a newspaper B. a hospital guide C. a science book D. a medicine book37. The underlined word “mentally retarded” means _.A. depressed B. talented C. cautious D. slow-minded38. Nobody in China believes the mentally retarded people can draw paintings because _.A. they think the mentally retarded peoples works are boringB. the mentally retarded people really have no such special abilityC. they know little about the mentally retarded peoples mental worldD. the mentally retarded peoples works have never been collected by artistsBThe passage comes from a novel called The Chrysalides by John Wyndham. In this novel, the storyteller is a boy named David.When I was quite young I sometimes dreamt about a city. It was odd, because the dream began before I even knew what a city was. But I could see this city, by a big bay, with boats on the water and houses all around. Sometimes I saw silver things flying in the sky. It was a pretty place.Once I asked my sister, Mary, where the city was. She told me that there was no such place. She said that long ago there might have been a city like that, but not now. Then she told me not to talk about the dream to anyone.Mary did not want me to talk about anything that might make people think I was different, from them. Where we lived, people were always looking out for odd things. They even thought it was strange that I was left - handed. So I did not talk about my dream to anyone, and as I got older I did not have it so often.And I never told anyone that I could talk to my cousin Rosalind without seeing her. I wasnt sure if talking like that was odd. After some time I thought perhaps I was just like everyone else. Until the day I met Sophie.One day I had gone off by myself, as I often did. I went down a cart-track from our farm until I came to a high ridge. This ridge was very long, and ran all the way round the land, as far as you could see. I had often gone along the top of it, but I hadnt been down the other side. Somehow the land on the other side seemed strange, like another country. But today I played a game.The rain had worn away some of the bank on the other side and I could push myself down the path made by the rain. I did this twice, rushing down the ridge and landing in the soft sand at the bottom. The third time I landed, a voice said, Hello .39. Where did David live?A. near a bay B. in the city C. on a ridge D. on a farm40.

American programs gave about two billion dollars last year.But critics say the current system wastes money and delays the arrival of needed food. Under current law, United States government agencies have to buy American-produced food. And 75% of the aid must be carried on American ships.President Bush wants to change the system. His plan would provide food aid by buying crops directly from farmers in the developing world. Money in the form of cash would make up about 25% of the aid. The president is calling on Congress to support the project, saying it would support agriculture in developing countries.Last year, Congress reported that 65% of the money for food aid was spending on costs other than food. It said rising business and transportation costs had cut the average amount of food shipped over the last five years by 52%. Yet demand has grown.Critics among charity groups have called for changes to the system. CARE USA, a major aid group, said last year that it would not take part in the current system after 2020.But the system also has supporters among agricultural and shipping groups, and lawmakers in Congress. Supporters say the current system works well and that changing it could harm food-aid programs.The government passed similar laws last year. President Bush says he may reject the final law that reaches him because it would cost too much in its present form. He wants to end subsidy（补助金）payments to farmers who already earn a lot from their crops.Title: A Discussion of How to (1) _US Food Aid(2) _ systemA waste of time.Food doesnt (3) _ on time.Food must be bought from (4) _.75% of the aid must be carried on American ships.New systemCrops will be (5) _ directly from farmers in the developing world.25% of food aid will be paid in (6) _.Farmers
