“Hey, Jenny ! How’s the model?”

    I had just taken a bite of my hot dog  31   I heard a familiar voice yelling at me from across the crowded school yard. I saw a group of popular girls who were all  32  .

“What kind of  33   are you going to do? An ad for a Frankenstein movie?” More laughter. My stomach twisted into a tight knot. How could they humiliate (羞辱) me like this, in front of the entire school? As I walked into the cafeteria, I  34   the dark scars on my right hand.

At 9 months old, I knocked over a tea pot and dumped boiling water all over my hands and stomach. My parents  35   me to the hospital, but I had to have skin graft (移植) operation. I was in so much pain! But what  36  me most were the cruel things people said about how I looked, like that day at lunch.

The girls were being super mean to me because they’d heard I was considering doing some modeling. A close friend had suggested that I shouldn’t let my scars  37  me and that I might make a good model.

But after that  38   at school, I was sure I’d made a huge mistake. Upon arriving home, I covered the mirror with a blanket, fell on my bed and sobbed.

    The next day, I   39  myself to go to school. At lunch my best friend Jesse tried to encourage me: “You can’t  40  forever, Jenny. So what if you have a few scars? Just go outside and show them that you’re just as good as they are.” Although I knew he was right, I couldn’t imagine standing up for myself like that.

However, that night as I sat on the bed, my friend’s words replayed in my mind. I’m  41   hiding from myself, I thought. How stupid! Slowly, I stood up, walked over to the  42 , and tossed the blanket aside. There, in the mirror I saw a slim, dark-haired, blue-eyed girl, looking just fine, 43  with a few scars.

The next day I wore a comfortable T-shirt to school. What’s more, I had lunch outside the cafeteria,

 44  beside those mean girls. They were shocked that I should dare to walk into their territory. I felt different too—free and happy.

Sometimes people still look at me strangely. They whisper and stare, but I don’t let it get to me. I have applied to several modeling companies, and at least one company is considering me for jobs. Maybe I’ll never  45   posing on the runway (T形舞台), but I do know one thing: I’m done.

People always say that if God closed a door in front of you, there must be a window opened for you. Yes, people always say that, but    36  is the window for me?
  I am not disappointed, just a little worried    37   as my roommate said, “ Why are you angry with yourself once you    38   to do anything?” I have no idea. I just can’t    39   me if I can’t understand some easy things. Currently, I just feel__ 40 _with myself because I couldn’t finish the assignment on the lab, and what was    41   worse was that actually I did not understand what the    42   was! Fiona asked me why I didn’t    43   for help. The problem is that if I have to ask some silly questions, I will feel    44  .
  Before I came here I was confident. But I have totally lost it. Sometimes I can’t__ 45  find the right words; sometimes I am too shy to    46   others. I have to admit that I am    47  .
  The wisest people are always    48   who can take advantage of others’ wisdom. But I was so stupid as to close myself and    49   a lot of time soaking inside the workbook,    50  made me more confused. Why can’t I follow the sentence? I am   51   to get help the next time I have any questions. I can  52  I am not smart, but I shouldn’t hide it. I must    53   it as soon as possible.   54  I will have to waste much more time on it—just like tonight.
   Difficulties always go with me. Go   55  ! I can make it.

Parents in three Midwestern states will soon know just how good or bad their kids' driving is when their children take the car for a spin (疾驶).
Starting today, American Family Insurance is offering customers with teen drivers free cameras that record what happens when a sudden change in the car's movement occurs.
The cameras record the action inside and in front of the car in 20 - second audio - video clips (剪辑). The clips are then transmitted to Drive Cam, a San Diego company that analyzes the clips for risky behavior.
Among things the analysts look for is the response time of the drivers and if they are paying attention to the road. Parents can receive a report on their kids' driving and view the clips on a home computer.
Car accidents are the leading cause of death among U. S. teens, according to the NHTSA
(National Highway Traffic Safety Administration).
"There will be fewer accidents," Rick Fetherston, vice president at American Family said of the new system. American Family will test the system out by offering it for free for one year to 30.000 families in Wisconsin, Indiana and Minnesota to see whether the system results in fewer accidents. If the system is proven to prevent accidents, customers who volunteer to use it might see their insurance premiums (保险费) drop. The company would not be viewing the videos or individual score cars, unless there is an accident.
Bruce Moeller, president of Drive Cam, says his company's system is already being used by companies with lots of cars. "Some of our customers are reporting a 30% to 90% reduction in their risky driver events," Moeller says.
But a lawyer in Minneapolis says. "If I felt I needed a camera in the car to watch over my kids, I shouldn't be letting them drive."
American Family tested the system in two high schools in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Megan Ireland, 17, said the camera caught her stopping too late and taking turns too fast. The student at Prior Lake High School in Savage, Minn., said she didn't like it because she felt it invaded her privacy (侵犯隐私) but has warmed up to the system. "Now I don't really have a problem with it because it's made me a better driver," she says. "For real."
69.The camera is being offered to________by________free of charge now.
A.teen drivers; a company called Drive Cam
B.insurance companies; a San Diego company
C.families with teen drivers; an insurance company
D.American Family Insurance; the NHTSA
70.The camera is used to________.
A.record what the teen driver does while driving
B.prevent the teen drivers from speeding
C.reduce the insurance premiums
D.provide videos and score cards for the police
71.Which of the following states is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Drive Cam will analyze the clips to find if the driver drives riskily.
B.All the students in Minnesota and Wisconsin don't like the system.
C.The insurance company will never look at the clips or score cards of the customers.
D.If the system can reduce the number of accidents, the fees for insurance will be reduced.
72.The best title for this passage might be________.
A.Teens, drive carefully     B.A free camera for kids
C.Cameras invade Privacy     D.Cameras keep watch on teen driving

One bitterly cold day, a snowstorm blew into our area. Needing firewood, I quickly set out with my best friend, Bruce, to look for a tree to cut down. I was glad to have Bruce along. Cutting down a tree in a snowstorm can be dangerous. So it was important to have a friend who could warn me of dangers.
When I chose a big 23-meter-tall tree and prepared to cut it down, my best friend suddenly warned me, “Don’t cut down that tree! It’s too close to the power line!” I wasn’t sure about it. So I decided to disregard his warning. I wanted to finish the job quickly and go home. So I began cutting down the tree. When the tree fell, there was no longer any doubt that my friend was right.
The tree caught the power line, bringing it to the ground. I considered cutting the tree off the line. After all, electricity can’t travel through wood, so I could safely remove the tree. As I reached out my finger to touch the tree, pain ran up my arm and through my head. I had been shocked!
After I returned home and told my mother what had happened, she quickly called the power company. Workers from the power company soon arrived on the scene. One of them asked if I had touched the tree, and when I told him I had, his face turned pale.
“You should have been killed,” he said.
So why am I still alive? It was my boots that saved my life.
Within two hours, the workers removed the tree. Soon the snowstorm calmed down—but not my mother.
Even though she was glad I wasn’t hurt, my mother was well serious with me. After all, I shouldn’t have brushed off my friend’s warning.
Through this experience, I learned that it’s important to listen to people who offer a different perspective(观点). Taking the time to listen might actually save a lot of time and trouble. It certainly would have kept me from getting the “shock of my life”.
【小题1】The underlined word “disregard ” in the second paragraph means “________”.

A.pay no attention toB.take notice ofC.considerD.follow
【小题2】In spite of Bruce’s warning, the author still cut the tree because ________.

B.he wasn’t sure whether Bruce was right and was anxious to go home
C.he didn’t hear his friend’s warning at all because of the blowing wind
D.he was angry with his friend and didn’t want to listen to him
【小题3】The author wrote the passage mainly to _______.
A.give an account of one of his terrible experiences
B.make us know it’s important to listen to people who offer a different perspective (观点) through his experience
C.tell us not to cut trees down any more
D.remind us to be careful while working
【小题4】 Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.But for his boots, the writer would have died.
B.The writer regretted having brushed off his friend’s warning.
C.The writer knew nothing about electricity.
D.When the tree was cut down, the writer realized his friend was right
