13.Hearing the Sweetest Songs
My parents said I lost my hearing as a baby,but I knew I hadn't lost anything.None of my parts had dropped off.Nothing had changed:I could hear music that was close enough to me.I could also hear my mom when she was in the same room.I could even hear my cat purr if I put my good ear on top of him.
I wasn't aware of any hearing loss until I began to wear a hearing aid when I started living alone.I noticed it ruined my peace of mind:pencils tapping,phones ringing,and refrigerators humming.Then,I began to discover many things I couldn't do.I couldn't tell where sounds came from,nor could I tell fire alarms from burglar alarms.I once missed a job interview because I misheard the address on the phone.For the first time,I had to admit that I had lost something.
Unlike a wheelchair,my disability doesn't announce itself.When I got jobs,I chose to keep it as a secret.One day a business friend said,"Nicolette,sometimes in meetings you answer the wrong questions.People don't know you can't hear,so they think you're strange,stupid-or just plain rude.It would be better to just tell them."But I knew if I told,people might see only my disability,and they might forget that I was also a writer,a painter,and a good gardener.I felt disabled and helpless.
This bothered me till I met my husband.One morning at the shore I was listening to the sounds of the sea when my husband said,"Hear the bird?""What bird?"I listened hard until I heard a tiny sound.If he hadn't mentioned it I would never have noticed it.As I listened,slowly I began to hear-or perhaps imagine-a distant song.Did I really hear it?Or just heard in my heart what he shared with me?I realized that songs imagined were as sweet as songs heard and songs shared were sweeter still.
This sharing is what both the disabled and non-disabled want.Every one of us,if we live long enough,will become disabled in some way.Let's share.Now,just let me see your lips when you speak.And ask what you want to know.These are conversations we all should have,and it's not that hard to begin.

25.When the author wore the hearing aid,sheC.
A.felt better prepared for the job interviews
B.was able to enjoy different sounds
C.experienced a sense of loss
D.was teased by others

A.people might focus on her hearing loss
B.she could get the work done as abled
C.people might be curious about it
D.she wanted to do more jobs
27.Why did Nicolette write the passage?B
A.To draw people's attention to the hearing problem.
B.To tell people not to treat the disabled differently.
C.To remember the challenges she faced.
D.To show how much she missed before.
17.One of the newest taboos (禁忌) in American society is the topic of fat.Unlike many other taboos,fat is a topic that America talk about often.It is not taboo to talk about fat; it's taboo to be fat.
The"in"look is thin.In the work world,most companies prefer youthful-looking,slim executives to sell their image and their products to the public.The thin look is associated with youth,vigor and success.The fat person,on the other hand,is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy,self-discipline and self-respect.After all,people think,how can people who care about themselves,and therefore the way they look,allow themselves to become fat?In an image conscious society like the U.S.,fat is"out".
It is not surprising,then,that millions of Americans have become obsessed (着迷)with staying slim and"in shape".The pursuit of youthful physical appearance is not,however,the only reason for America's obsession with diet and exercise.
Recent research has shown the great importance of diet and exercise for personal health.As in most technologically developed nations,the life-style of North Americans has changed very quickly during the course of last century.Modern machines do all the physical labor that people were once forced to do by hand.Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point.As the result of inactivity and disuse,people's bodies can easily become weak and vulnerable to disease.In an effort to avoid such a fate,millions of Americans are spending more of their time exercising.
The effects of this new appreciation of the importance of exercise is clear:parks are filled with joggers and bicyclists,physical education programs are enjoying a newly-founded fame and many companies are providing exercise equipment for their employees to use during the work day.

A.people always talk about
B.not regarded as a taboo topic
C.people usually pay no attention to
D.belonging to the same treatment as other taboos
33.What do Americans think of thin people?B
A.Their work helps them to look youthful
B.They are energetic and successful.
C.Their appearances affects their behavior
D.They are lacking in self-discipline.
34.According to Paragraph 4,which of the following is an example of"inactivity?C
A.Mary does her housework by hand.
B.Celia takes part in a marathon
C.Cecilia goes to her office by car.
D.Margaret plays badminton every Saturday.
35.Why are parks filled with joggers and bicyclists?D
A.Because these parks are fit for sports.
B.Because people are enjoying prestigious status in parks.
C.Because people are taking part in physical education programs.
D.Because people now recognize they should do more exercise.
18.We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life,but most of us don't do a very good job. (31)C.
So,you have to give a speech-and you are terrified.You get nervous,you forget what you want to say,you stumble(结结巴巴) over words,you talk too long,and you bore your audience.Later you think,"Thank Goodness,it's over.I'm just not good at public speaking.I hope I never have to do tat again."
Cheep up!(32)A.Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making.Ask yourself the purpose of your speech.What is the occasion?Why are you speaking?Then,gather as many facts as you can on your subject.Spend plenty of your time doing your research.Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow.Use as many examples as possible,and use pictures,charts,and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. (33)F.Don't talk down to them.Treat your audience with respect.They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Just remember:Be prepared.Know your subject,your audience,and the occasion.Be brief.(34)D.And be yourself.Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.
If you follow these simple steps,you will see that you don't have to be afraid of public speaking.In fact,you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches!You're not convinced yet?(35)G.
