"Do you still remember your dreams from childhood? They're like flowers that never fade," 23-year-old Liu Wei told a rapt (全神贯注的,入迷的) audience during a broadcast of the nationwide talent competition China's Got Talent. Liu,an armless pianist from Beijing,was named one of the show's finalists.

Liu once had arms. At the age of 10 he accidentally grabbed a highvoltage wire and lost his arms. "My family and I were so desperate then," Liu recalled. He credits a disable boy he met at the hospital who gives him the strength to cheer him up.

He was forced to give up playing soccer        (his favorite sport) but bounced back and chal?lenged himself to learn swimming. After two years,Liu had won two gold medals and one sil?ver at the National Swimming Championship for the disabled in 2002.

By the age of 19,Liu had taught himself how to play the piano with his feet,fulfilling a childhood dream of composing and producing music,he said with a big smile. " Given enough time,I could be just as same as anyone."

"I can read music and have figured out the4 toeing' by myself," he told. According to Liu,the big toe is the most flexible digit when "toeing",but that he can only reach five keys at the same time. "It means I have to train my toes to move more rapidly," he said.

"We've all fought for our dreams when we were young,but no one has fought as hard as you," commented Gao Xiaosong. Gao is one of the show's judges and one of most influential music producers inChina.

"You tell us that to realize our dream,we need to spare no pains," said Yi Nengjing,a show judge and Taiwanese pop star.

"I've received a lot of letters of support,all encouraging me to focus on my music," Liu said. When asked what he would do when the show was over,he revealed several music compa?nies had asked to sign him. But whatever happened,he added he is sure he would keep pursuing his dream.

"Music is like water and air to me," he said. "I can't live without it."

T-shirts Out; Uniforms In School uniforms are becoming more and more popular across theU. S. A. That's no sur?prise,because they offer many benefits. They immediately end the powerful social sorting and labeling (标记) that come from clothing. If all students are dressed in the same way,they will not pay too much attention to their clothing,and some of them will not be laughed at for wear?ing the " wrong" clothes.

Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms,but they do not realize that students already accept a kind of rule―wanting to look just like their friends. The difference is that the clothing students choose for themselves creates social barriers;school uniforms tear those barriers down.

As in other places,uniforms remind the wearers of their purposes and duties. For example,when a man or woman puts on a police uniform,he or she becomes,for a time,the symbol (象征) of law and order. The uniform means to the wearer his or her special duties and sends the same message to everyone the wearer meets. People with different jobs wear uniforms of one kind or another. For students,the school uniform reminds them that their task for the six or seven hours they are in school is to get an education.

Some parents are unhappy about uniforms,saying that school uniforms will affect their children's "creativity". First,as noted above,the clothes students choose to wear do not necessarily express their individuality (个性) .They just copy their classmates. Second,students have the rest of the day to be as creative as they like. While they're in school,their job is to master reading,writing,and maths; this should take up all the creativity they have. Mastery of those skills will be good for the students to build up their creativity in every way.

Every profession or trade,every art,and every science has its technical vocabulary. Differ?ent occupations,however,differ widely in the character of their special vocabularies. In trades and handicrafts,and other vocations (职业) ,like farming and fishery,that have occupied great numbers of men from remote times,the technical vocabulary,is very old. It consists largely of native words,or of borrowed words that have worked themselves into the very fiber (质地) of our language. Hence,though highly technical in many particulars,these vocabularies are more familiar in sound,and more generally understood,than most other technicalities. The special dialects of law,medicine,divinity (神学) ,and philosophy have also,in their older strata (层面) ,become pretty familiar to cultivated persons and have contributed much to the popular vocabulary. Yet every vocation still possesses a large body of technical terms that remain essen?tially foreign,even to educated speech. And the proportion has been much increased in the last fifty years,particularly in the various departments of natural and political science and in the me?chanic arts. Here new terms are coined with the greatest freedom and abandoned with indiffer?ence when they have served their turn. Most of the new coinages are confined (受限制在) to spe?cial discussions,and seldom get into general literature or conversation. Yet no profession is nowadays,as all professions once were,a close guild (行会) .

The lawyer,the physician,the man of science,the divine,associated freely with his fellowcreatures,and does not meet them in a merely professional way. Furthermore,what is called " popular science”makes everybody acquainted with modern views and recent discoveries. Any important experiment,though made in a remote or provincial laboratory,is at once reported in the newspapers,and everybody is soon talking about it as in the case of the Roentgen rays (伦琴射线) and wireless telegraphy. Thus our common speech is always taking up new technical terms and making them commonplace (寻常的事物) .

(   ) 5. What does the underlined phrase "educated speech" mean?

   A. 教育演讲'                        B. 教育报告

   C. 有教养的谈吐   D. 有教育意义的发言

(   ) 6. In recent years,there has been a marked increase in the number of technical terms in the terminology (专门术语) of         

   A. fishery   B. farming

   C. government   D. sports

(   ) 7. What does the last sentence of the passage imply?

   A. Topics for common speech often involve the latest new technical terms.

   B. People don't take up any new technical terms which are none of their business.

   C. The topics for common speech are always making something new.

   D. New technical terms can enter our common speech by way of making them sim?ple.

(   ) 8. The author's main purpose in the passage is to          

   A. describe a phenomenon   B. propose a solution

   C. be entertaining   D. argue a belief

  One day,my mother told me that Simon had blood cancer. Simon Sharp is my stepfather's nephew. Even though we aren't related by blood, Simonv is one of the most amazing people I have ever met and means more to me than any blood relative ever does. He likes riding his bike around Celebration, Florida. He also likes playing the piano. He is the kind of person that is impossible to forget once you meet him.

  My eyes shone with disbelief. "But he'll live,right?" I asked in a low voice. "There's no way to know for sure. He has a pretty rare case," my mom replied.

Simon seemed to get weaker and weaker. The doctors tried countless treatments,but each resulted in a worse reaction than the one before. Somehow,Simon went into remission. We were hopeful,knowing it might lead to a full recovery. The whole family was thrilled. Sadly,his health took a turn for the worse again a year later.

  It was around then that we received our "Simon Says..." T-shirts. On the front,in big blue letters,it read, "Simon Says.,." and when you turned it over it read, "Cancer is a detour,not a stop sign."That sentence showed me that no matter how hard the cancer fought against him,Simon and his loving family would do whatever it took to push fight through it. What im?pacted me even more was that it referred not only to Simon's battle,but also to the battles of all those who had a seemingly impossible challenge in their lifetime. Not too long after we got our shirts,Simon Sharp passed away when he was just fifteen years old.

  Simon touched countless people with his unique personality,kind soul,and extreme per?sistence even in his time of need. It was hard for everyone to overcome the sadness caused by the death of a family member,but we were able to. I think it's because we can wear our T?-shirts everywhere we go and proudly say, "Simon says..."

(   ) 5. Which of the following is true of Simon?

   A. He has a gift for music. B. He is an impressive boy.

   C. He once lived with the author. D. He is the author's distant cousin.

(   ) 6. What did Simon suggest by giving the T-shirts to his family?

   A. I love you all. B. Believe in me.

   C. I will never give up. D. Life is full of challenges.

(   ) 7. Who helped the author remove the sadness caused by Simon's death?

   A. Simon. B. The author himself.

   C. The author's mother. D. The author's stepfather.

(   ) 8. What would be the best title for the passage?

   A. Simon and I   B. Simon Says...

   C. Always Fight   D. Let Go of Sadness
