8．On the first day of the 11th grade，our new math teacher Mr Washington asked me to go to the blackboard to do a math problem．I told him that I couldn't do it．He asked，"Why not？"I paused，and then I said，"Because I'm educable mentally retarded （可教育智能迟滞）．"
    He came from behind his desk and looked at me．"Don't ever say that again．Someone's opinion of you does not have to become your reality，"he said．
    It was a very special moment for me．Doctors said that I was educable mentally retarded in the fifth grade，and I was put back into the fourth grade．When I was in the eighth grade，I failed again．
    But Mr Washington changed my life．This person always gave students the feeling that he had high expectations of them，and then all of the students did their best to live up to what those expectations were．He often said，"You have greatness within you．"
    One day，I caught up with him in the parking place and said，"Mr Washington，is there greatness within me，sir？"
    He said，"Yes，Mr Brown．"
"But what about the fact that I failed English，math，and history？What about that，sir？I'm slower than most kids．"
"It doesn't matter．It just means that you have to work harder．Your grades don't determine who you are or what you can produce in your life．"
"I want to buy my mother a house．"
"It is possible，Mr Brown．You can do that．"And he turned to walk away．
"Mr Washington？"
"What do you want now？"
"Uh，I'm the one，sir．One day you're going to hear my name．I'm the one，sir．"
    School was a real struggle for me．Mr Washington put many demands on me．He made me believe that I could do it．At the end of that year，I was on the honor roll for the first time in my life．
    Years later，I produced five programs on public television．When one of my programs was shown on the educational television channel，I had some friends call him．I was sitting by the phone waiting when he called me．He said，"May I speak to Mr Brown，please？"
"Oh，Mr Washington，is that you？"
"Yes，it's me．You were the one，weren't you？"
"Yes，sir，I was．"

12．Michelle Obama has just started a campaign against childhood obesity（肥胖）with the admission that she put her girls Malia and Sasha on a diet because they were getting fat．Clearly，childhood obesity must be solved and urgently．But is it a good idea for mothers to put their daughters on diets？
Studies show that the more children diet，the more likely they are to become obese as adults．Research also shows that girls are highly influenced by their mothers when it comes to eating habits and body image．
This was the case for Carly，40，who blames her mother for her lifelong struggle with weight．"My mother was on a diet the whole time 1 was growing up，"she says．"And she put me on my first diet when 1 was 10．I lost puppy fat，gained her approval and never ate normally  again，America's First Lady clearly has a vital healthy eating message to．convey．But could this be damaging for Malia and Sasha？Could they develop eating disorders because of it？
"It's wrong just to blame mothers for their daughters'eating disorders，"says Susan Ringwood，chief executive of the eating disorders charity，Beat．"There is a genetic（基因的）component to eating disorders．"However，"We do know that parents have a very strong influ．ence over a child's eating．It's important to realize that you are your daughter's role model．Girls idolize the ir mothers．"says Ringwood．
"Nofoodshould ever be‘good'or‘bad'，"Ringwood says．Instead，"You have to make it clear that food is a sociable，healthy and fun part of life，not something to be feared．"
"Talk to her about body image，"Ringwood says．"Talk about how curves are an important and exciting part of being a woman．Show her that anorexic（厌食的）fashion models are not sexy，but i11．The pressure on girls today is immense，"she says．"But don't forget that you are the authoritative voice，too．"

2．When Russell Lyons volunteered for the first time，he read Goodnight Moon to a class of San Diego preschoolers．And it wasn't reading-he'd memorized the book and was reciting it out loud．He was 4．Still，he said it felt good up there，in front of the other kids，lending a hand．He wanted more of that feeling．
Thirteen years later，he's getting a lot of it．He's on a five-month road trip across America-not sightseeing，but volunteering．
The University City resident has spent time at an animal reserve in Utah，a women's shelter in St．Louis，a soup kitchen in New York，a retirement home in Tucson．This week he's in Los Angeles，at a program that supports disabled youth．

Of course，some teens do volunteer work because it looks impressive on their college applications．Lyons said he mentioned his trip on his submissions．But charity work is a habit with him．Even before the cross country trip，he was volunteering abut 200hours a year at various places．He's made sandwiches for homeless families in Washington D．C..He's taught math to fifth-graders in Cuernavaca，Mexico．
He gets some of that drive from his mother，Leslye Lyons，who has been involved in nonprofits for much of her life．She was there when her son"read"to the preschoolers-a memory of hers"that will never go away．"

6．America's greatest technological achievement，the Hoover Dam，now has a companion piece，a bridge held up by the longest arch in the Western Hemisphere（半球）．The Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge，which opened this month and connects the U．S．states of Arizona and Nevada，crosses the vast chasm（峡谷）890 feet above the Colorado River that is controlled by the dam．
The striking 1，900-foot-long structure will improve traffic in the region and help protect the dam from being destroyed．It is the seventh highest bridge in the world，behind four in China，one in Papua New Guinea and one in the US state of Colorado．
"The Hoover Dam is the greatest civil engineering achievement in America's history，"said the bridge project manager Dave Zanatell．"Our goal was not to outdo or outshine it．Our goal was to，in a respectful way，do something that would be great for our generation and that would stand besides Hoover Dam in a respectful and quality way that would become a part of Hoover's legacy（遗产）．"
Just as the Hoover Dam was built in the heart of the Great Depression（大萧条）and was seen as an example of the nation's can-do spirit，some hope this project can also provide some uplift．
The bridge is surprising：at 1，050 feet，its support arch holds up a roadway that lies on 300-foot-long concrete pillars（柱子），some of the tallest in the world．It contains 16 million pounds of steel．
　　The idea of the bridge came into being in the 1960s because the top of the Hoover Dam has been a narrow two-lane road that is the fastest route from Arizona to Las Vegas and then the Pacific Northwest and Canada．
  　Access to the dam from each direction is a dangerously winding route，but massive trucks and passenger vehicles shared it for decades．During the day，when thousands of tourists travel to the dam from Las Vegas three times as many accidents as on a normal road will happen．
  　The bridge has a sidewalk on the side facing the dam．The wall on both sides is 54 inches high，so walkers can take photos there．
64．Which of the following is true of the Hoover Dam？B
A．It was completed recently．
B．It was built during the hard times．
C．It has the longest arch．
D．It's the seventh highest dam in the world．
65．What is one of the purposes of building the bridge？A
A．To protect the dam
B．To save the cultures．
C．To outdo the dam
D．To develop the tourism．
66．The underlined word"uplift"in Paragraph 4 meansC．
A．lift of the heavy object             
B．support in money
C．spiritual encouragement              
D．instruction in technology
67．Which of the followings shows the right position of the bridge and dam？A

68．The text is mainly aboutD．
A．the Hoover Dam                       
B．American western development
C．a tour along the Colorado River          
D．a recently built bridge．
7．I was going to offer you some cake but there's________left．（　　）
A．noneB．nothingC．no oneD．no
