13.I was blind,but I was ashamed of it if it was known.I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help.After all,I was a teenage girl,and I couldn't bear people to look at me and think I was not like them.I must have been a terrible danger on the roads.Coming across me wandering through the traffic,motorists probably would have to stop rapidly on their brakes.Apart from that,there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.
One evening,I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses,and as usual I ran into something."I'm awfully sorry,"I said and stepped forward only to run into it again.When it happened a third time,I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost.This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me.So I carried on and found the bus stop,which was a request stop,where the bus wouldn't stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off.No one else was there and I had to guess if the bus had arrived.
Generally in this situation,because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help,I tried to guess at the sound.Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away.In the end,I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.
But at this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus.Of course I heard plenty of buses pass,or I thought I did.But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself,I let them all go by.I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one.Then I gave up.I decided to walk on to the next stop.

45.The girl refused to ask for help because she thoughtD.
A.she might be recognized
B.asking for help looked silly
C.she was normal and independent
D.being found blind was embarrassing
46.After the girl got off the bus that evening,sheC.
A.began to run
B.hit a person as usual
C.hit a lamppost by accident
D.was caught by something
47.What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?B
A.Other vehicles also stopped there.
B.It was unreliable for making judgments.
C.More lorries than buses responded to the girl.
D.It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.
48.Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop,hopingA.
A.to find people there
B.to find more buses there
C.to find the bus by herself there
D.to find people more helpful there.

8.Tim Richter and his wife,Linda,had taught for over 30years near Buffalo,New York-he in computers,she in special education."Teaching means everything to us,"Tim would say.In April 1998,he learned he would need a heart operation.It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose.
Not long after the surgery,Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library,a program started by Dolly Parton's foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's home town of Sevier,Tennessee."I thought,maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire,"Tim recalls.He placed the brochure on his desk as a reminder.
Five years later,now retired and with that brochure still on the desk,Tim clicked on imagination library.com.The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.
The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters.Rather than sign up online,they went to Dollywood for a look-see."We didn't want to give the children rubbish,"says Linda.The books-reviewed each year by teachers,literacy specialists and Dollywood board members-included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats's The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney's Llama Llama series.
Satisfied,the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work.Since 2004,they have shipped more than 12,200books to preschoolers in their area.Megan Williams,a mother of four,is more than appreciative:"This program introduces us to books I've never heard of."
The Richters spend about$400a month sending books to 200children."Some people sit there and wait to die,"says Tim."Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left."

5.The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet,chat and go where we've never been before.
But just as in face to face communication,there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. (56)DImagine how you'd feel if you were in the other person's shoes.
For anything you're about to send:ask yourself,"Would I say this to the person's face?"if the answer is no,rewrite and reread. (57)BIf someone in the chat room is rude to you,your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner.But try not to do so. (58)FIf it was caused by a disagreement with another member,try to fix the situation by politely discussing it.Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room. (59)C
Offer advice when asked by newcomers,as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate.When someone makes a mistake,whether it's a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer,be kind about it.If it's a small mistake,you may not need to say anything.Even if you feel strongly about it,think twice before saying anything.Having good manners yourself doesn't give you license to correct everyone else. (60)GAt the same time,if you find you are wrong,be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.
It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age,sex and marital status.Unless you know the person very well,and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information,don't ask such questions.

A.It's natural that there some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.
B.Repeat the process till you feel sure that you'd feel comfortable saying the words to the person's face.
C.Everyone was new to the network once.
D.The basic rule is simple:treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.
E.When you send short messages to a person online,you must say something beautiful to hear.
F.You should either ignore the person,or use your chat software to block their messages.
G.If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake,point it out politely.
2.Dick was a twenty-year-old man.His father was a teacher and taught chemistry in a middle school and his mother worked in a shop.They lived a happy life until his parents died one night when suddenly an earthquake broke out.All that happened on his sixth birthday.Luckily his sister who was two years senior to him took him to see their aunt in the city and they did not stay at home.Everything was destroyed in the earthquake and the two children got into trouble.Thanks to their aunt who was not rich enough,they grew up but they lived a hard life.His sister was so sad that she became a nun(修女).After he finished middle school,he was introduced to an owner of a hotel and began to work there.
One day the young man fell to the ground while he was cleaning a window on the second floor.He was sent to the hospital and the doctor looked him over.One of his legs was broken and he had to be in hospital.He said to the nurse,"I'm a poor man,madam.Arrange a third-class ward(病房) for me,please."
"Can't anybody help you?"
"No,madam,"answered Dick."I have only a sister.She's a nun and she's poor,too."
"I don't think so,"the nurse said angrily."Nuns usually marry God.And God is the richest in the world,you know!"

3.In colleges around the country,most students are also workers.
The reality of college can be pretty different from the images presented in movies and television.Instead of the students who wake up late,party all the time,and study only before exams,many colleges are full of students with pressing schedules of not just classes and activities,but real jobs,too.
This isn't a temporary phenomenon.The share of working students has been on the rise since the 1970s,and one-fifth of students work year round.About one-quarter of those who work while attending school have both a full-course load and a full-time job.The arrangement can help pay for tuition (学费) and living costs,obviously.And there's value in it beyond the direct cause:such jobs can also be critical for developing important professional and social skills that make it easier to land a job after graduation.With many employers looking for students with already-developed skill sets,on-the-job training while in college can be the best way to ensure a job later on.
But it's not all upside.Even full-time work may not completely cover the cost of tuition and living expenses.The study notes that if a student worked a full-time job at the federal minimum wage,they would earn just over $15,000 each year,certainly not enough to pay for tuition,room,and board at many colleges without some serious financial aid.That means that though they're sacrificing time away from the classroom,many working students will still graduate with at least some debt.And working full time can reduce the chance that students will graduate at all,by cutting into the time available for studying and attending classes.
There is little reward for attending but not finishing college.Students who wind up leaving school because of difficulty in managing work and class are likely to find themselves stuck in some of the same jobs they might have gotten if they hadn't gone at all.The difficulty of working too much while in school can create a cycle that pushes students further into debt without receiving any of the financial or career benefits.
 
57.According to the passage,the reality of college students is thatC.
A.they throw parties a lot
B.they stay up late every night
C.they work besides attending classes
D.they pay no attention to exams
58.What is the indirect cause of an increasing number of working students?D
A.The need of developing social networks.
B.The lack of summer jobs for young adults.
C.The expenses of high tuition and living costs.
D.The chance of finding a job after graduation.
59.We can learn from the passage thatD.
A.working students are more likely to finish college
B.students can cover their college expenses through working
C.students receive a huge reward for managing work and class
D.dropping out of college may not help students get career benefits
60.What is the best title for the passage?B
A.The Difficulties of Landing a Job
B.The Struggle of Work-School Balance
C.The Reward of Working While Studying
