听力原文：(Text 10)

　　My wife and I go to the theater whenever we can．But before we buy tickets, we like to know if the play is good or bad．When a new play opens．We usually read the newspaper to get information about it．Last week a new play opened at the theater．The newspaper story said it was very interesting so we decided to go on Saturday night．

　　My wife took a long time to make up her mind what to wear and we left our house a little late．By the time we got to the theater, the first act had already begun．We were sorry we missed part of the play, because the rest of it was very funny．The newspaper had been right．It was very good．

　　After the play was over, we met some friends we hadn’t seen for a long time．They wanted to go to a night club．It had been many years since my wife and I had gone dancing, but I finally agreed．By the time we got home, it was about two o’clock in the morning．I’m got used to staying out so late and I was extremely tired．

　　When I was younger．I didn’t have the money to go out for an evening like this．Now I can afford it．I don’t have the energy to really enjoy it．

I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves，most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of.In fact，I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives(观点)by creating worlds we could step into，take part in and live in.

With this unshakable belief，I，at fourteen，decided to become a writer.Here too，reading became useful.Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say，but being unable to find the right ways to say it.He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with，or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world.He cannot write without loving to read，because only through reading other people's writing can one discover what works，what doesn't and，in the end，together with lots of practice，what voice he has.

Now I am in college，and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction(文学作品)．As a law student，my reading is in fact limited to subject matter—the volume(量)of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else.Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life.Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own.It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road，all from the comfort of my own armchair，to experience，though secondhand，exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessariy be able to have in my lifetime.

60．What can be inferred about the author as a child?

A．He never watched TV.

B．He read what he had to.

C．He found reading unbelievable.

D．He considered reading part of his life.

61．The underlined word“voice”in the second paragraph most probably means“________”．

A．an idea B．a sound quality

C．a way of writing D．a world to write about

62．What effect does reading have on the author?

A．It helps him to realize his dream.

B．It opens up a wider world for him.

C．It makes his college life more interesting.

D．It increases his interest in worldwide travel.

63．Which of the following can be the best title of this text?

A．Why do I read? B．How do I read?

C．What do I read? D．When do I read?

There is one thing better than making a new friend, and that is keeping an old one.
——Elmer G Letterman
Two years ago my family moved. The day we left, my best friend and I cried together in my1bedroom for hours. I was miserable during the five-hour car ride to my new house. Life was2.
On the first day of school, I called my best friend to tell her how it had gone. Then on Halloween, I sent her a letter and a picture of my new friends and me.
Finally, she wrote me a letter. It wasn’t3a letter—a piece of paper saying, “Best friends forever”.
When I finally got her e-mail address, I e-mailed her the4letter I have ever written. After the third e-mail with no5, my messages grew shorter and shorter.6each passing day, my7grew.I never received a reply from her.
Mom said that I8try calling my other friends, and that I didn’t need to always call her.9my best friend, the girl that I had known from my childhood?
My first10was automatic.“No way!” But after five more e-mail messages, I started to consider what my mom had11.Every night for about a week, I stayed up in bed,12, “Should I keep trying or...?”
The way I looked at it was that: if I’m her best friend, she’d13a minute to push a few buttons on the phone, or type a short “hello” on the computer. To me, keeping in touch is part of being a friend and it is important. To her, it really didn’t seem to14.
After two years of15, I finally got a phone call from her—my best friend. It was a big16.She told me how sorry she was for not writing, and about how busy she had been. I forgot about everything that had happened and how annoyed I had been with her.I17her.I guess keeping in touch just isn’t her18.
I have realized true friends never really lose their special19.Even after two years, it felt like we had just talked yesterday.

I was born an albino. No one in my family had ever known what an albino was, what it meant to be an albino, and what had to be done differently because I was an albino.

My parents treated me just like they treated everybody else. That was just about the best thing they could have done. It helped me trust myself, so when the anger came along, I could deal with them.

True, my photo always looked like a snowball with two pieces of coal for eyes. Kids would tease me, asking if I was joining the circus and calling me “Whitey”. Like most albinos, I had terrible eyesight, and my grades suffered until eventually I overcame my feeling ashamed of myself and realized it was okay to ask to sit in the front of the classroom so I could see the blackboard better. People stared at me when I held reading material right at the tip of my nose so I could see it well enough to read. Even when I was eight or nine, movie-theater clerks started asking me to pay adult prices because I “looked older”.

The worst part for me was that because my eyesight was so bad, I couldn’t play sports very well. I didn’t give up trying, though. And I studied harder.

Eventually, I got better at school and loved it. By the time I got to college, I was double majoring, going to summer school and devoting myself to every kind of after-class activity I could find. I had learned to be proud of being an albino. I did my best to make “albino” a positive word. And I decided to make my living with my eyes.

I couldn’t see well enough to play sports. But with a solid education and the drive to do it, I could make a living involved in the field I loved. I’ve done it now for more than thirty years in print and in video, and now in cyberspace. People make jokes about how I’m the only “blind editor” they know, but most of the time the jokes are signs of respect. And I make jokes about being an albino.

I was just a proud albino kid from the coal country of Pennsylvania. I now realize that being born an albino helped me to overcome difficulties, gain confidence, and be proud of my personal achievement and humble about my professional accomplishments.

56. What is an albino according to the passage?

A. Someone with bad eyesight.

B. Someone with some kind of disease.

C. Someone who looks older than his age.

D. Someone who joins the circus.

57. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. The fact that the author was born an albino.

B. What had to be done differently to the author.

C. The way that the author’s parents treated him.

D. The fact that the author had no idea what an albino was.

58. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. The author’s study was affected by his eyesight at first.

B. The author had to pay adult prices for movies when he was still young.

C. Despite his bad eyesight, the author played sport well.

D. “Albino” has already become a positive word now.

59. Why are people’s jokes about the author mostly signs of respect?

A. Because he is an albino.

B. Because he has a solid education.

C. Because they think he is a great “blind editor”.

D. Because they think he is proud of his achievement.

60. Through the passage, the author tells us ________.

A. that albino helped him achieve success

B. how an albino studied well

C. what it is like to be an albino

D. how people should treat an albino
