14.The song that has meant the most to me is called"I Believe I Can Fly"by R-Kelly.I chose this song because every time I listen to the song it (16)B me that as long as I believe,I can be or do whatever I want in life with a (l7)C.I didn't know much of what the song (18)D a long time ago.But as I grew older,I still loved the song and started lo listen to the (19)A more and more.Every time I listen to it,I think about all the difficulties I have(20)A.
     When I was little,I had to use a wheelchair and a walker (21)BI have a disability named Cerebral Palsy(唐氏综合症).The doctors told my mother I had a slim(22)C of ever  walking but I was determined to walk.I knew that I had to believe in(23)C to accomplish my goal to walk someday.
      One day the doctor told my mother that he could do a(24)D that would help me walk.So when I was three and one-half,I had my first surgery.
      I disliked the cast(石膏)because it was a half body cast,with a bar in the middle of my (25)D,and it was very itchy(痒).I was a very (26)B kid so being in a bed for six weeks,not being able to(27)A,felt horrible.I knew after all the (28)A and the crying it would be worth it in the long run.
     Finally,at the age of four,I got my cast off and I felt (29)B when I finally went through all the therapy(治疗)and learned how to (30)C.
    The song says,"I see me running through that open door."That's (31)C I felt like;I believed I could fly just like the song says.That day it felt like I was on cloud nine (32)D  my wings.
    I've always believed I can touch the sky.I still have more obstacles to overcome,(33 )DI will always believe I can fly,as long as I believe.The song (34)B me so well that I feel like the song was written for me.As the years (35)A,I am going to continue to spread my wings and believe.

13.When I was in primary school,I got into an argument with a boy in my class.I have forgotten what the argument was about,but I have never forgotten the lesson learned that day.
I was convincedthat"I"was right and"he"was wrong---and he was just as convinced that I was wrong and"he"was right.The teacher decided to teach us a very important lesson.She brought us up to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other.    
In the middle of her desk was a large,round object.I could clearly see that it was black She asked the boy what color the object was."White,"he answered.
I couldn't believe he said the object was white,for it was obviously black!Another argument started between my classmate anytime,this time about the color of the object.
The teacher told me to go to stand where the boy had been standing and told him to come to stand where I had been.We changed places,and now she asked me what the color of the object was.I had to answer,"White."It was an object with two differently-colored sides,and from his viewpoint it was white.Only from my side was it black
My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day:You must stand in the other persons'shoes and look at the situation through their eyes in order to truly understand their perspective(现点).

60.What do you think of the teacher?And why?(No more than 20 words)The teacher is wise because she taught them the lesson in a very good way..
12.As I felt my heart sink deep down into the holes of darkness,I considered every word the doctor spoke to me.She(36)BI had a disorder,and that I might never be able to have children(37)D,completely unaware of the great(38)Ashe was bringing to me in a matter of seconds.
It was difficult to try and understand the effect such(39)Ccould have upon a woman,especially a woman recently married.I felt as though all light inside me had been(40)Bpermanently.
As a young girl I had always(41)Amy children looking much like me,and my future husband,and that I would be a(n)(42)Bmother.Therefore,I spent quantities of time learning about my disorder.I talked with other women who had(43)Dit,and who had become mothers despite all difficulties.I believed in my heart that I could(44)Athis.
It wasn't until about a year into trying,after continuous(45)Cpregnancy tests,that hope started to die within me.My husband did everything he could to(46)Cme,and to make promises to me.(47)Cof it mattered when I was as deep into myself as I was.
A friend gave me a(n)(48)B to a natural,spiritual healer who(49)Dlistened and coached,without prescribing(开药方).I started seeing this healing coach twice every single week for almost three months,(50)AI saw changes in myself that I would never have imagined.I had been so(51)Dwith myself and my pity,that I had been(52)Bto the gifts that God had supplied me with,already.
One of the greatest(53)CI learned was that I was trying to control something that was(54)Amy hands,and the outcome was even(55)D.It was time to be appreciative,and to wake up every morning thankful for such a beautiful life.

    D.Visualize yourself having achieved each of your goals
    E.Get organized and reward yourself each step of the way
    F.Put your goals in writing
The goals that guide us
"Not all who wander are lost,"they say,but for the great majority of us,having a road map for the future is a key element to well-being and success,however we choose to define it.This means setting goals for ourselves,and finding ways to achieve them.If you're a wanderer,it might be time to realize the great significance of setting goals.
    It's simply a fact:when people have goals to guide them,they are happier and achieve more than they would without having them.It's a brain thing.Achieving a goal you've set produces a neurotransmitter (神经传递素) responsible for feelings of pleasure,which will then activate neural circuitry that makes you eager to pursue new challenges.
    Of course,a thousand mile journey starts with the first small step.And whether we're starting on the long journey of a mid-life career switch or the walk to the bedroom to finally organize that closet,it can be hard to gather up the motivation to make that initial step.While setting goals is in itself motivating,sometimes it's just not enough.Here are some tried-and-true ways you can begin to move toward achieving your goals.
61.F
    The act of writing down what you are going to do is a strong motivator.Writing down goals prevents you from leaving your goals vague.Be specific.Use action verbs.Let your goals have measurable outcomes.Specify completion dates.Also record what your reward will be for achieving the goal.Make a contract with yourself,then read it each morning and night.This will help you to be more committed to your goal as each day passes.And while you've got the pen in your hand…
62.A
    Think of everything that might stand in your way.Then decide what you can do about each obstacle.Design a plan to reduce the influence of each obstacle and increase the chances that you will be successful in reaching your goal.Knowing exactly what you will gain from reaching your goal is a strong motivator.Keeping my checkbook balanced will give me more spending money on the weekends.Walking a mile every morning will help me stay focused at work.
63.C
    If information or skill is keeping you from achieving your goals,determine ways to fill in the gaps,and build this into your action plan.Be willing to study and work hard to reach your goals. Think about how much time and effort will be required,and ask yourself whether you are really willing and able to do what is necessary.It is better to adjust your goals or your timetable than to proceed with a plan that is unrealistic.
64.B
    Find someone,a coworker or friend,with whom you share a common goal.Get someone to go to the gym with you,or to quit smoking with you,or to share healthy meals with you.A partner can help you stay committed and motivated.Look for role models,people who have already achieved the goals you seek to reach.Ask them for advice and suggestions.Find how they got where they are,and incorporate what you learn into your plan.
65.D
    The more real you can make your visualization,the better.Find a quiet place,visualize,and write down your experiences afterward.Go through magazines and cut out pictures that represent your goal,then put them around the house.Provide constant reminders to yourself about what you're working towards.Describe your ideal life in the future.Write a few paragraphs describing what you have accomplished,and how your life is better as a result.Use the present tense as if it is happening right here,right now.This is another way of making your vision real.
9.Working outside the International Space Station (ISS),an astronaut is suddenly hit by a piece of space debris(碎片)that damages his spacesuit.Alarmed,he realizes he's just seconds from disaster.Moving fast,his prepared robot partner slaps(拍打)an auto-patch over the tear in his spacesuit.Huge sighs of relief fill the ISS.Inside,the astronaut responsible for saving the spacewalker's life controls everything the robot avatar has done-including rescuing its human partner-while it works outside the space station.
R2:The Real Deal
A robot companion can come in handy to space travelers,whether they're as far away as Mars or as close as a space station or moon base.Space-travelling avatars,controlled remotely by humans are still a concept.But earlier in the year 2011,NASA sent a humanoid robot into space for the first time.It's called R2,short for Robonaut 2.The robot was delivered by the space shuttle Discovery and will remain on the ISS to be tested.
NASA expects robots like R2 to be a huge help to astronauts."Our goal is for robots to work side by side with humans,"says NASA's Matt Ondler.R2 is controlled by humans using laptops. It's programmed to perform a number of small tasks,such as"find an object."In most situations,humans are still far better with their hands than robots.But that's not necessarily true in space,where astronauts must wear bulky spacesuits and heavy gloves.And since they don't need to eat,breathe,or go to the bathroom,robonauts have the advantage for lengthy jobs.
R2 isn't ready for spacewalks yet,but NASA hopes that future improvements will make this possible."Robonauts will help our astronauts with the three D's:jobs that are dirty,dull,and dangerous,"says Ondler.
To The Moon
Someday the space agency hopes to send R2 to the moon.Sending a robot to the moon will befar less expensive than sending a human.A robot is stronger,can survive in tighter spaces,and doesn't need air.Even better,robots don't care how long it takes for NASA to return them to Earth.
Once on the moon,the robonaut could perform experiments,send live video back to Earth,talk to classrooms full of kids,and explore the lunar surface.R2 will be able to move using legs,or by attaching its torso(躯干)to a four-wheeled rover(探测器) and becoming part of vehicle.And when R2's battery is low,it can plug into a solar-powered recharging station and get some much-needed juice.All in all,a pretty sweet life for a humble robot!
The future R2 would be designed to operate by itself.But for difficult tasks,a human operator would control it like an avatar in a video game.NASA will need people skilled at operating robonauts to ensure the success of future missions.So the next time your mom complains that you're spending too much time on video games,just tell her you're training for a job with NASA.

    B.It has been programmed to help astronauts with three D's.
    C.It is flexible and can be easily controlled by humans beings.
    D.It proves to be a good companion for space travelers.
53.By saying"All in all,a pretty sweet life for a humble robot!",the writer means thatB.
    A.an ordinary robot will be able to move freely in comfortable surroundings
    B.an ordinary robot will enjoy a comfortable life in space like humans on Earth
    C.a future robot will explore the moon easily by using a four-wheeled rover

    B.humans are much smarter with their hands than robots in space
    C.someday humans might control an avatar on the moon
    D.sending a human to the moon will cost far less than sending a robot.
