11、ld needs love and many people need our help. Several years ago, my teacher asked me 1 ( take ) part in a program that helps those who are disabled. Each week, I spend an hour in the classroom 2( help ) with schoolwork, art project, games and other activities, including eating. My mother is a teacher

12、, so I am used to 3 (help) children; however, I found that working with children with special needs would change my life forever.At first, I thought it would be nervous 4(be) with the children who are so different, but gradually I found theres something special about these students. So there was no

13、need to worry about it. Each Thursday I 5(welcome) by the smiling faces of Thomas, Joey and Missy. Thomas has to sit on the wheelchair. He communicates with simple words like yes or no. Joey, a deaf girl, always welcomed me with a big smile. Missy 6(bear) with a kind of illness and it makes her real

14、ly small for her age. In a normal classroom, it would be common to hear a teacher comfort a child who is tapping his pencil, speaking loudly, or making unnecessary noises.

15、rking with children with special need has changed my life. It has made me7(notice) others need. One of my teachers 8(believe) that we should be part of something bigger than ourselves.

16、ething that makes a difference. 阅读理解A13、Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 BCto the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guesse

17、d that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the worlds population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a persons two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the hand is used

18、to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a persons hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the righ

19、t hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-h

20、anded. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain isdamagedwhen they are born. However, this doesnt happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-hande

21、d from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he/ she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed pe

22、ople are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they dont have to.1（小题1）How many people in the world are left-handed now?ALess than one sixth.BMore than a half.CAbout 40%.DThe passage doesnt tell us.2（小题2）Which of t

25、项中，选择最佳选项。Travel Far, but Think LocalAuthor Elizabeth Becker says we have a responsibility to respect the places we visit. Some basic rules still hold, such as not travelling at busy times and taking fewer trips but making them longer. The best and easiest way to be a responsible traveler is to use

26、common sense and go local.Respect traditions. Read about the culture and traditions of the places you visit. Understand the local culture and customs to avoid making any mistakes or upsetting the local people. For example, dress properly when you visit temples and dont eat or talk loudly in religiou

27、s(宗教的)sites. Its also important to respect the local environment.

Youll be

28、amazed at how much nicer and more helpful people will be if they know youre making an effort to get involved with their culture.Spend local.Stay away from international hotels and restaurants run by foreigners.

29、only giving back to the community, but you also get a real sense of the country youre staying in and the people who live there.Bargain fairly.Always be polite when you try to get a lower price. Sometimes goods at a local market can seem overpriced. Nobody likes to be cheated and it may be fun to bar

30、gain, but remember that for the local people bargaining it may not be a game. For some of them, their business is their only source of income. So try not to be too rude when bargaining.Dont litter. In some countries, getting rid of waste is a big problem, so dont throw rubbish on the ground. Doing s

31、o is harmful to the environment and unpleasant for others. Hold on to your rubbish until you find a bin.Save water.Even in some of the most developed countries, water shortages are a reality. Tourists who take 10-minute showers and leave the taps running arent making things any better.1From the pass

There was a rule in our school that if anyone damaged his desk or chair, he would have to pay five dollars or the teacher would beat him in front of the whole school.”“One day I damaged my desk i

43、n some way, I had to pay five dollars or be beaten before the whole school. My father said it would be too bad to have our family disgraced in front of the whole school.

48、ry Finn(1844).Now he is going to have his life and work commemorated(纪念) with special gold and silver coins.But does Twain need to be commemorated?
