9．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 teenager 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 step 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 try 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 on 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．

16．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

19．What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus？B

C．More lorries than buses responded to the girl．

16．You're lost in the world of dreams and sleep．You roll over，smiling as you come across a swimming pool filled with chocolate．And then，your wonderful dream becomes a nightmare when someone is screaming，"Get up!"It's just what every teenager goes through each morning!
Now，there seems to be one school that finally understands that requiring teens to show up at 9am is not just cruel but also harmful to both the kids and the school．
The Monkseaton High School in North Tyneside，Britain，recently decided to experiment to see if there is any difference in student behavior if they just pushed back the start of their day by one hour，from 9am to 10am．And the results are surprising．
Since carrying out the later start，Monkseaton has seen a 28% drop in truancy，even hardly any lateness，and best of all，higher test scores．One of the reasons is that the teenagers are much happier to have the extra hour of sleep，but there is also a scientific reason behind why they need the extra sleep．
The school's decision to push back the time was based on the research done by Oxford Professor Russell Foster，who pointed out that teenagers and adults have different sleep cycles，explaining why teenagers go to bed late and wake up late．
While adults are wide awake and ready at 8am，teenagers are not fully awake until 10am，sometimes even noon．Teachers may argue that their students perform better in the morning，but in fact，it is because they are in the zone while their students are still sleepy，making the students easier to control．Memory tests prove that the more difficult classes should be in the afternoon when teenagers are most wide awake．
The Monkseaton school officials are encouraged by the results and plan on voting to make it a permanent change．

C．Teenagers are much happier to sleep than study．
D．Teenagers need the extra sleep also for a scientific reason．

C．The Monkseaton school plans to change the school time forever．
D．Teenagers perform better in the morning than in the afternoon．
6．The future of written English will owe more to Hollywood films than Dickens or Shakespeare，if the findings of a study into children's writing are anything to go by．Researchers who looked at the entries to a national competition found they were increasingly using American words such as garbage，trash can，sidewalk，candy，sneakers，soda，and flashlight．
The stories，written by pupils aged 7to 13，show how fairy cakes are referred to as cupcakes and a dinner jacket has become a tuxedo．"Smart"is now often used for"clever"and"cranky"for"irritable"．
Television also has a powerful influence on children's work，with Lady Gaga and Argentinean footballer Lionel Messi among the famous names from TV cropping up repeatedly．
But pupils are let down by basic spelling，punctuation and grammar，according to the study by Oxford University Press （OUP），which looked at the entries to BBC Radio Two's"500Words"competition．
Children struggled to correctly spell simple words such as"does"and"clothes"and often failed to use the past tense correctly，frequently writing"rised"instead of"rose"or"thinked"instead of"thought"．
Researchers also found that punctuation was underused，especially semi-colons and speech marks．Some did not know how to use capital letters．However，exclamation marks were overused．Researchers found 35，171examples in total，with some young writers using five at a time！
Popular US fiction such as the Twilight novels and films is thought to be fueling the increasing use of American vocabulary and spelling．Meanwhile，fears that texting was corrupting children's written work were  unfounded，they said，with youngsters only using text language when they were referring to a text message．
Samantha Armstrong from OUP said："Perhaps we are catching a glimpse of the language of the future．"Chris Evans，whose radio show runs the competition，said the results were"fascinating"，adding："Who'd have thought that Messi and Gaga would be some of the most used names？"

A．sneakers     B．fairy cakes     C．tuxedo     D．cranky
27．Which of the following was NOT frequently found in the pupils'stories？A

D．Names of famous TV stars．
28．What can we infer from the passage？B

13．I've often wondered if I might do more good as a travel agent rather than as a psychologist．It seems that I have been more dramatically affected by certain kinds of travel experiences than I ever have．
My trip to Iceland is a fine example of that．The plan was to spend two days in a remote mountain hut in Iceland．I was working on a photographic book about winter in Iceland and needed to capture images of this amazing region of high mountain peaks，smoky volcanoes，and lakes with floating icebergs．
The moment after we arrived，the weather turned extreme making visibility impossible．It snowed so much and the wind blew so hard that we couldn't leave the tiny hut．To stay warm，we walked around in circles much of the day inside the tiny hut．We tried to call for help but the radio did not work．Day after day，we watched our supplies of food and fuel grow dangerously short．We got acute cabin fever （幽居病） and started going for walks and ski expeditions outside．Even when the weather finally broke，nobody came to get us even though it was three days beyond our scheduled pickup．By the time the rescue team came to pull us out，we had all given up hope．
From then on，the world looks different to me，as does my life．It would have taken me years of psychotherapy to get to the same point．
Almost everyone has a story to tell，and interestingly，most of these experiences were not altogether pleasant at the time．In fact，it appears that the most constructive life-changing journeys were those that involved some sorts of awful and uncomfortable events that forced the person to develop new resources，increase confidence，and solve problems in new ways．

11．The Touchstone
    When the great library of Alexandria burned，the story goes，one book was saved．But it was not a valuable book； and so a poor man，who could read little，bought it for very little money．
The book wasn't very interesting，but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed．It was a thin strip of vellum on which was written the secret of the"Touchstone"!The touchstone was a small pebble that could turn any common metal into pure gold．
The writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it．But the secret was this：The real stone would feel warm，while ordinary pebbles are cold．
So the man sold his few belongings，bought some simple supplies，camped on the seashore，and began testing pebbles．He knew that if he picked up ordinary pebbles and threw them down again because they were cold，he might pick up the same pebble hundreds of times．So，when he felt one that was cold，he threw it into the sea．He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone．Yet he went on and on this way．Pick up a pebble．Cold-throw it into the sea．Pick up another．Throw it into the sea．Pick up another．Throw it into the sea．The days continued over a long period if time．
One day，however，about mid-afternoon，he picked up a pebble and it was warm．He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done．He had formed such a strong habit of throwing each pebble into the sea that when the one he wanted came along he still threw it away．
    So it is with opportunity．Unless we are cautious，it's easy to fail to recognize an opportunity when it is in hand and it's just as easy to throw it away．
59．The man bought the book because．A
A．he wanted to read it
B．it was very interesting
C．there was a secret in the book  
D．he wanted to find the touchstone
60．We can learn from the passage that the touchstone is．C
A．pure   B．cold C．magic    D．big
61．Why did the man throw the pebbles into the sea？A
A．Because he didn't want to get the same pebbles．
B．Because he didn't want others to pick them up．
C．Because he didn't like their ordinary looks．
D．Because he didn't like the cold feelings．
62．What does the author want to tell us in the passage？C
A．We about orate opportunities in our life．
B．We should seek for opportunities in the world．
C．We may seize opportunities when we are watchful
D．We may discover opportunities when forming habits．
