7.One determined student stepped off the traditional job for blind people in China,and now challenges a new life at university in Britain.Being a message therapist (按摩师)is a perfect job for many people with a visual disability,but for Zheng Jianwei,it was far from enough.
The 30-year-old former massage therapist gave up his hospital job in 2009to prepare for admission to graduate school.He took IELTS(雅思考试),the language-fluency test necessary for university admission in the UK,in 2012and scored 6.5points.He was the first blind examinee to take the IELTS in the Southeast Chinese region.After about four year's struggles,Zheng successfully gain an offer from the University of Essex in the United Kingdom and became a graduate student.
However,Zheng's path to graduate school was not easy."I can't take China's national entrance exam for graduate school,which doesn't provide study material(材料)for blind students,"he says.
He then turned to search for graduate school overseas.However,English became his nightmare.Zheng studied in spacial schools for visually challenged students since primary school,but foreign language was never a main subject.
Before giving up his job and learning English again in 2009,Zheng only knew the alphabet,a few words and some basic expressions."Learning English again in my late 20s is not easy,"he says.
It took him three years of intensive study to gain entrance to a graduate school overseas.Because of the lack of study material,Zheng needs to spend hours and days looking for textbooks for the visually disabled and copying them,while it may take only five minutes for a sighted person to order a plain English textbook from Amazon.
In his parents'eyes,Zheng has been a sensible,independent and decisive man from a young age.Zheng made all the major decisions by himself,including studying abroad and choosing majors."We just follow his decisions,"the mother says.

A.go abroad for graduate school         B.work as a message therapist
C.be far from pleased with life         D.enjoy a perfect job
61.It can be learned from the passage that the blind students in ChinaB.
A.can't take the national entrance exam to college
B.can find less study material than normal students
C.can never learn a foreign language well
D.can't afford the English textbooks for an entrance exam
62.Which of the following can match Zheng Jianwei's story?D
A.All mankind is created equal.        B.Many hands make light work.
C.Rome is not built in a day.          D.Nothing is impossible when mind is set.
63.It can be inferred from the passage that Zheng'sD.
A.parents have to follow any of his decisions
B.parents don't understand or care about him

17.[1]How we look and how we appear to others probably worries us more when are in our teens or early twenties than at any other time in our life.Few of us are content to accept ourselves as we are,and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion.
[2]Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner.If we do,they tell us,we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently and without embarrassment.Changing fashion,of course,does not apply just to dress.A barber today does not cut a boy's hair in the same way as he used to,and girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grandmothers did.The advertisers show us the latest fashionable styles and we are constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in case our friends think we are odd or dull.
[3]What causes fashions to change?Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion.Take hats,for example.In cold climates,early buildings were cold inside,so people wore hats indoors as well as outside.In recent times,the late President Kennedy caused a depression in the American hat industry by not wearing hats:more American men followed his example.
[4]There is also a cyclical pattern in fashion.In the 1920s in Europe and America,short skirts became fashionable.After World War Two,they dropped to ankle length.Then they got shorter and shorter and the miniskirt was in fashion.After a few more years,skirts became longer again.
[5]Today,society is much freer and easier than it used to be.It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone else.Within reason,you can dress as you like or do your hair the way you like instead of the way you should because it is the fashion.The popularity of jeans and the"untidy"look seems to be a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion of the top fashion houses.
76.What do the fashion magazines or TV advertisements claim to bring to us?
(no more than 2words
77.Why does the writer take President Kennedy as an example?(no more than 14 words)To show the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion
78.What does the writer try to explain by talking about short skirts?(no more than 8 words)There is a cyclical pattern in fashion                                                                
79.Why are jeans so popular according to the writer?(no more than 10 words)Because it's a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion                                               
80.According to the passage,how can the fashion in modern society be best described?( one word)Free.

"Finally,the time came when I decided to make amends (弥补) for the harsh,angry things I had said about the company.I invited my former boss to dinner and made my apology.It was a great healing process for me.I finally felt free of the resentment that had been eating me up."
"What was the final outcome?"I asked her.
"Gratitude,"she replied."Not only wasn't I resentful any more,I was grateful to the company.If I hadn't had those painful experiences,I would never have written a book.And the book became hugely successful-now published in 21languages; it transformed my business."
