"Now I'm dying，I'm afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth：I don't like the salty coffee．What a strange bad taste!But I have had the salty coffee in my whole life!…"

13．My name is Amanda LaMunyon．I have Asperger's syndrome，a form of autism （自闭症）．I don't see myself as a person with a disability．I share who I am when I paint，sing and write．
       I started writing poetry because I wanted to tell people what it was like to have Asperger's syndrome．I don't know how my life would be different without Asperger's，but I know I look at the world differently than most people．I'm also learning that you don't have to be like everybody else．You just have to be confident in who you are．
       I discovered I could paint when I was 7．My math teacher Mrs．Brock loved one of my paintings so much that she hung it on the wall in her bedroom．I was so encouraged by her and since then my life has changed greatly．
       Soon after，people asked me to show my art for charity events．I began to donate prints of my work for charity auctions （拍卖）．I was glad that I really made a difference．I learned that when you give，you receive happiness．
       I think it is very important for teens to express themselves．It's a way to know yourself more clearly．You can turn your thoughts and feelings into a piece of artwork or a poem．
       For example，when you paint，colors can help you express different emotions．When you write a poem，you have to get really honest with yourself and not be afraid to write down what you feel．
       Creativity makes you unique and sets you apart from others．Creative ideas also help you make your dreams come true．They help you look at things in a new way．
       I hope my story helps people to believe they can overcome their challenges and achieve their dreams．I like to encourage others．I know what encouragement has meant to me．

3．The big fights from the house down the street were quite common in Marianne and Kevin Naslund's neighborhood．During one particularly serious fight，the neighbor's son Andy Livasy was hit by his stepfather．Watching police cars moving around the street，Marianne realized that she had to help Andy before he"became an angry person who turned to drugs and alcohol"．
A few days later，she invited Andy to live with her family．Andy accepted．No one understood why Marianne would take in a troubled teen like Andy．
Then Andy scowled （怒视） at the world from beneath his long and untidy hair and picked fights with Nick and Jake．At the local high school，he often slept through classes．But Marianne saw herself in Andy．She，too，had grown up in an unsettled family，"with a lot of shouting and not a lot of love．"
It wasn't easy．For Andy，moving in with the Naslunds was like entering a foreign country．"I was used to getting screamed at if I ever messed up，so I was kind of waiting for that，"says Andy．But the day he was suspended （停学） from high school for fighting，the screaming never happened．Instead，Marianne calmly asked why he did it，listened to Andy's explanation，and didn't a llow him to use the computer and watch TV for one week．
"Marianne did it so that instead of fearing a punishment，I didn't want to let her down，"says Andy．"I didn't get into another fight for the rest of high school．"
After six months，he asked Kevin to cut his hair，and most of his anger disappeared．Two years later，he volunteered to teach youth soccer．And though few adults expected it from the boy with the grade-F，in 2010 he graduated on time from high school．
After four years，Marianne calls Andy her third son．Andy has had no contact （联系） with his mom and stepfather since moving out，even though they still live in the neighborhood and say they're pleased with how their son has turned out．And Andy，who recently joined the army，knows where he's leading when he comes home on leave．
Says Andy，"What were the chances of meeting someone living across the street who had a similar childhood，like Marianne，who would take me in and explain，‘You can change your life'？"
32．According to the text，why did Marianne take Andy in？B
A．Because the police would take Andy away．
B．Because she didn't want to see Andy go wrong．
C．Because Andy was driven out by his stepfather．
D．Because her sons knew Andy well．

A．Violent．B．Shy．C．Curious．D．Careless
34．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text？D
A．Andy joined the army after college．

10．Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized（工业化） nations．They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10，000years ago．（66）C
The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly．Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses．（67）E  So they are called"diseases of civilization（文明）"．Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases．
Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco，probably none．（68）BHowever，a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today．
Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat，which had much less fat than domestic（家养的） ones．They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits．They did not have milk or any other dairy products，and they made very little use of grains．（69）D We eat six times more salt than our ancestors．We eat more sugar．We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C．
（70）FBut scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did，cutting the  amount of fatty，salty and sweet food．

A．Stone Age people lived a simple life．
B．But today，we enjoy eating a lot of these．
C．In that case（那样的话），they would live much healthier．
D．Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise．
E．These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times．
F．People today probably don't want to live like our ancestors．
G．Modern people used to suffer from"diseases of civilization"．
7．_____he will come to help us is not clear．（　　）
A．ThatB．WhetherC．EitherD．What
8．We are more willing to help people we like for some reason and people who we think ________ assistance．In some situations，those who are physically attractive are more likely to receive aid．（　　）
A．seekB．deserveC．obtainD．accept
