(37)D
Ray Charles was born into a poor family,without a father.When he was five years old,his younger brother died; and around the same time,Charles started to lose his sight.By the age of 7he was completely blind.He had already been learning the piano for a year,and when he went blind,his mother knew this would be the only way he would earn any money in the future.All his life,Charles remembered her saying:"Do it right,or don't do it at all."
(38)F
Later he went to a school for blind and deaf children where the teachers also encouraged him to study music.Sadly,while he was still at school,his mother died.He left school and in the early 1950s Charles formed a group of players.He sang,played the saxophone and the piano and composed music.

(40)C
In 2003a film biography of his life was produced,called Ray.The part of Charles was played by a young actor and musician called Jamie Foxx.The film director brought Foxx to meet Charles.After they had been playing together for two hours,Charles,then aged 73,jumped up and said:"He's the one…he can do it."A year later Charles died aged 74.The film of his life has been as popular as his songs and means that the memory of Charles's music will live on.

So,you have to give a speech and you are terrified.You get nervous,you forget what you want to say,you stumble(结巴) 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 that again."

20.Elephants in Uganda are starting to come close to villages near national parks.Sometimes,the big animals harm or even kill villagers.(36)ASo,the Uganda Wildlife Authority has been giving people new tools to keep the elephants away:vuvuzelas,which became very popular in the South Africa World Cup.They are plastic instruments some fans use at sports events to cheer for their teams.
(37)CWhen the elephants hear the unpleasant sound,they leave,and no one is harmed.
An official for the Uganda Wildlife Authority says vuvuzelas work because they do not threaten the elephants.That is important because an elephant that feels threatened is more likely to attack.So far,no one has reported an elephant attacking in answer to a vuvuzela.
(38)GThey have built beehives-houses for flying insects that sting(叮咬).They have hung ropes covered in spicy (辛辣的) oil.They have dug long,deep holes.And they have used guns,called A-K47s.(39)D But over time,the elephants have stopped being afraid of the sound of the gun.They only look at the shooter and wave their ears.
Another official for the Uganda Wildlife Authority,Gessa Simblicious,says one elephant-prevention solution will not work everywhere in Uganda.And one day,elephants may get used to the vuvuzela noise,just as they do the sound of the A-K47.(40)F
  A.They are a real danger to people.
  B.The big animals are friendly to the local people.
  C.The instruments make a loud sound elephants do not like.
  D.People shoot the gun in the air to scare the elephant away.
  E.The elephants are cruelly killed in large numbers in Africa.
  F.But right now,vuvuzelas are an effective way to deal with a serious problem.
  G.Villagers have tried other ways to stop elephants from coming near farms and houses.
