My husband and I are both musicians. I took it  36  granted that one day our daughter Holly would learn to play an instrument.
In 2000 Holly fell  37  and the doctor said she may have been left   38   deaf. “She won’t be able to hear music in any shape or form,” said the doctor. It was a great   39  .
In 2001, her right ear was fitted with a cochlear implant --- electronic equipment that provides a sense of    40   for people who are completely deaf. Seven years later, another was fitted in her    41   ear. The doctors played us a model of what music would sound like to Holly --- I was horrified   42  it was just white noise.
“Holly will hear music,” I   43   saying to myself. I tried to put what had gone wrong right, so we constantly   44  words and sounds to her. She has been having lessons since she was seven . she’s   45  all the time. I’m always surprised by just how much better she does.
When she   46  a national piano competition, the adjudicator   47  Holly for appearing to listen to the sounds she was making --- her whole body, he said to us, was   48  in the process of making music.
I   49  that the model we originally heard of how music sounds with a cochlear implant isn’t   50  holly hears it. The brain is complex and adapts to many   51  ;in some way, Holly has made   52  of it all. She loves life. She doesn’t think about what happened to her and says   53  , “I don’t want to talk about bad things. Let’s talk about good things.”
I was determined that her life would not be   54  by a miserable event, but never imagined that she could   55  what she has. I can only describe this as a miracle.

A three-year independent investigation into the September 11, 2001 attack on the Pentagon has yielded new eyewitness evidence which, according to the Southern California-based researchers who conducted the investigation conclusively (and unfortunately), establishes as a historical fact that the violence which took place in Arlington that day was not the result of a surprise attack by suicide hijackers, but rather a military black operation involving a carefully planned and skillfully executed deception."
A CNN Reporter at the scene states that there is no evidence that a 757 hit the Pentagon.
   What hit the Pentagon? A Boeing 757 loaded with passengers and fuel right? Who was on Flight 757? According to the Flight Information there were No Arabs on it. That makes me wonder if Flight 757 actually existed at all.
  From the pictures and the videos, people can find that there are several doubtful points that need to be taken into consideration, for example the marker line on the grass in the satellite and ground pictures, the different colors of the smoke, the hole which the plane impacted, and the standing pylons (架线塔).
  Also, from the comparison of the different pictures, people can find some other strange points. For example, the gear (齿轮) is not the matching one. The wreckage of the plane is not the one from the American Airlines. The glass on the pavement of the pole is another doubtful point. The last thing that need considering is about the collapse. One of the gif video shows the plane impacting the Pentagon. The only problem with this video footage is that it has been altered (改变) and can not be fully trusted.
  These crash photos and videos shown here clearly have been doctored (篡改) and don't even match the physics of what happened. So where is the real video? It leaves me many questions. Is this a missile? It is a real enigma.

LG Electronics, the world’s fourth largest cell phone producer, has added another feature to the mobile phone-reading books for the visually impaired(弱视). The company started marketing the model, the LF1300 on Sep.18.No other people but the blind and visually-impaired with a certificate(证书) can buy the talking phone at sales shops of LG Electronics.

“The LF1300 is the world’s first mobile phone that is capable of reading books for the print-disabled, who otherwise could not enjoy them.This is not about making money but about continuing to put froth efforts to reduce the digital difference for the disabled,” LG Vice President said.

Its users can download about 300 audio books from the Internet site of LG Sangam Library to their phones for free in two ways. One is to access the digital library’s Website on a computer designed for the blind to get the audio books and transfer them to cell phones. The other is to download the digital books directly with cell phones through the wireless net work by touching a hot key on the LF1300 phone.

On top of its unique feature of reading books, the LF1300 is no worse than the pupular top-line phones in both outlooks and frnctionalities(功能性). The phone is armed with an MP3 player and a Bluetooth headset, enabling users to listen to the music or talk without a cord. The user interface(界面) of the LF1300 is also designed for the blind,enabling phone users to control it through a voice guidance system.

However, because the phone’s internal mimory of 17MB is small even for a single audio book file, which takes up 80MB on average, a high-volume external memory is a must for the talking book services.

A.Disabled people with a certificate

B.All the blind and poor-sighted people

C.The blind and poor-sighted with a certificate

D.Both healthy and disabled citizens

2.The users can enjoy reading books on LF1300 by         .

3.What can be learned from the passage?

A.This is the first time LG company has done something for the disabled.

B.Phone users don’t have to pay much to download the digital books.

C.LF1300 has a less attractive outlook than any other top-line phone.

D.The disadvantage of LF1300 is that it has too small internal memory.

4.The best title of the passage might be         .
