19．He's an old cobbler （修鞋匠） with a shop in the Marais，a historic area in Paris．When I took him my shoes，he at first told me："I haven't time．Take them to the other fellow on the main street； he'll fix them for you right away．"
But I'd had my eye on his shop for a long time．Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather，I knew he was a skilled craftsman （手艺人）．"No，"I replied，"The other fellow can't do it well．"
"The other fellow"was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys"while-U-wait"--without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys．They work carelessly，and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap （鞋带），you might as well just throw away the pair．
My man saw I wouldn't give in，and he smiled．He wiped his hands on his blue apron （围裙），looked at my shoes，had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said，"Come back in a week．"
      I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boot off a shelf．
"See what I can do"he said with pride．"Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work．"
When I got back out into the street，the world seemed brand-new to me．He was something out of an ancient legend，an old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly，his pride in his craft．
These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line，when you can do things any old way as long as it"pays"，when，in short，people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption （消费） rather than a way to realize their own abilities．In such a period，it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done．

18．

Doctors at a Boston hospital last week performed the first full face transplant in the US，attaching a donor face to a 25-year-old man whose face was severely burned when his head touched a high-voltage（高压的） line three years ago．
A team of more than 30surgeons and nurses worked for about 15hours to transplant the forehead，nose，lips，facial skin，underlying muscles and the nerves that power them and provide sensation（知觉） from a donor to Wiens，whose head came in contact with a high-voltage line on Nov.13，2008．
Bohdan Pomahac，the surgeon，said the team was not able to bring back Wiens's eyesight．But Wiens should be able to regain up to 90percent of normal sensation on the right side of his forehead，right cheek，most of his upper lip and his entire lower lip．Nerve damage was too great for there to be more than tiny sensation in the left check and left forehead，Pomahac said．
Doctors say the goal of the operation was to improve Wiens's ability to breathe，eat and talk and restore his face's social expression．
When Wiens recovers，he will not look like he once did，nor will he look like the donor，but"probably somewhere in the middle，"Pomahac said．The match between the donor and the recipient （接受者） was made based on race，similar age and blood type，etc．
Pomahac said he was worried the operation would not be successful when he first saw Wiens．His injuries were covering so large that doctors weren't sure there were enough remaining nerves or structures to connect to a new face．
Pomahac said he was determined to try his best because of what a patient with similar injuries had told him some years ago．That patient had numerous surgeries（外科手术），with only modest results．When Pomahac asked why the patient sought repeated surgery，he told the doctor，"I just want a taxi to stop when I'm waiting for one．"

56．The first paragraph serves as aC．
A．conclusion       B．comment        C．lead-in        D．background
57．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？A

D．Pomahac was sure that the surgery would succeed at first．
58．We can learn from the passage when Wiens recovers，he will look likeD．
A．what he used to be      B．the donor
C．Bohdan Pomahac          D．the donor in some way
59．We can infer from the last paragraph that Pomahac's former patientB．
A．experienced many surgeries with good effect
B．suffered a lot because of his ugly-looking face
C．wanted a taxi to stop when he was waiting for one
D．had a strong determination to bring back his eyesight．

17．

The fictional Chinese-American detective Charlie Chan was the subject of popular books and movies for many decades．In recent years，however，the character has been criticized as an ill image of Asian-Americans．
Yunte Huang，an English professor at the University of California，says that's not the case．He has been exploring the character and real-life policeman who inspired him．
Charlie Chan has been a familiar character to readers and film-goers，beginning in the 1920s．The detective solved crimes around the world in more than 40films through the 1940s，and with the invention of television，found a new audience in the 1950s and 1960s．
Huang discovered Charlie Chan through books by American author Earl Derr Biggers，who created the character．
"One day，I happened to find two Charlie Chan novels．At that point I thought I knew that he was a negative character against Asians，but when I read the book，"he says，"I was immediately attracted．Ever since then，I've been a fan of Charlie Chan．"
As a fan of the books and films，Huang was surprised to learn that Charlie Chan was based on a real detective named Chang Apana，who was born to Chinese parents in Hawaii around 1871．Apana worked as a cowboy，and joined the Honolulu police force in 1898．
"He almost immediately became a local legend because as a former cowboy，"says Huang，"he would walk the most dangerous areas in Chinatown carrying a bullwhip（皮鞭）instead of a gun．He didn't need that．"
Although some say the image of Charlie Chan，with his broken English，is embarrassing for Asian-Americans，Huang believes Chan's broken English and unusual ancient sayings were part of his charm（魅力）．
"Let me just quote（引用）a few-‘Actions speak louder than French，'or‘Mind like parachute （降落伞）．Only function when open．'Charlie Chan always owes these instructive sayings to Confucius'eastern wisdom．
For Huang，the fictional Charlie Chan is highly entertaining，while the real-life policeman，Chang Apana，is a Chinese-American success，whose story is worth telling．

16．My first most vivid and broad impression of the identity of things seems to me to have been gained on a memorable raw afternoon towards evening near my parents'tomb in the churchyard．
"Hold your noise!"came a terrible voice，as a man started up from among the tombs at the side of the church．"Keep still，you little devil（小鬼），or I'll cut your throat!"
A fearful man，all in coarse grey，with a great iron on his leg．A man with no hat，and with broken shoes，and with an old rag tied round his head．He seized me by the chin（下巴）．
"Tell us your name!"said the man．"Quick!"
"Pip，sir．"
"Show us where you live，"said the man．"Point out the place!"
I pointed to where our village lay，on the flat in-shore among the alder-trees and pollards，a mile or more from the church．
The man，after looking at me for a moment，turned me upside down，and emptied my pockets．There was nothing in them but a piece of bread．
"You young dog，"said the man，licking his lips，"what fat cheeks you ha'got．Darn me if I couldn't eat em，and if I han't half a mind to't!"
I earnestly expressed my hope that he wouldn't，and held tighter to the tombstone on which he had put me； partly，to keep myself upon it； partly，to keep myself from crying．
"Now then lookee here!"said the man．"Where's your mother？"
"There，sir!"said I．
He started，made a short run，and stopped and looked over his shoulder．
"There，sir!"I timidly explained，pointed to the tombstone．"That's my mother．"
"Oh!"said he，coming back．"And is that your father alonger your mother？"
"Yes，sir，"said I；"him too； late of thisparish（教区）．"

15．In Colombia，there are some unwritten rules that people are used to．These rules are not officially established，but people do respect them．For example，on a bus，a person keeps a distance from another person，and people don't like to touch each other．Many people come to work late because they prefer to wait for another bus if the first one is too crowded．They don't want to have to stand too close to another person，or maybe they are afraid of starting a conversation．
A friend of mine in Colombia once said his mom got angry because he came home late，so he asked her，"Mom，what do you think of most people arriving at their jobs so late？"That gave her the answer to her question since everyone knows no one wants to get on a bus that is too crowded．His mother realized at that moment that customs have a big influence on a person's life．
Sometimes，people don't like to make any kind of conversation or make eye contact（接触） with others．For example，when they are in line at a bank，they prefer to look up or down rather than look at other people．
Moreover，people usually look down when they are in an elevator．Not only on a bus，in line at a bank，and in an elevator do people usually avoid talking to other people，but also in the streets when they are walking，they prefer to look down and to avoid contact with others．

Windsurfing is a sport that combines sailing and surfing．In 1948，twenty-year-old Newman Darby first thought of using a handheld sail to contro1a small boat．Darby did not apply for a patent（专利）for his design at first．However，he is recognized as the inventor of the first sailboard．
Californians Jim Drake，a sailor and engineer，and Hoyle Schweitzer，a surfer and skier received the patent for a sailboard．They called their design a windsurfer．The early windsurfer boards measured 3.5meters long and weighed 60pounds．Later in the l980s，Newman Darby did apply for and receive a design patent for a one-person sailboat．
In the late l940s，Newman Darby found he could control a 3-meter-long sailboat and make turns even without a rudder（舵）．In l964he designed the first universal joint（万向接头）to go along with a flat bottom sailing boat．This sailboard was equipped with a universal joint，a board and a kite-shaped free sail and thus windsurfing was born．

Hoyle Schweitzer began producing sailboards in the early 1970s．The sport became very popular in Europe．By the late 1970s，windsurfing fever had Europe firmly in its grasp with one in every three families having a sailboard．

12．At first glance，with its woolly coat，onlookers would be forgiven for mistaking this creature for sheep．However，a look at this rare breed（品种） reveals（显现） a pig's mouth and a pig's feet that are usually found on pigs．It's a confusing sight，but this is one of three curly（卷发） coated Mangalitza‘sheep-pigs'which have been delivered to a UK zoo．As part of a programme to help save the animals from dying out，staff at Tropical Wings in Essex are hoping they can help the breed survive．
Originating from Austria and Hungary，the Mangalitza is similar to the native Lincolnshire curly coat breed which died out in Britain 40years ago．"The woolly coat makes them strong enough to bear cold and helps them to survive in the tough winters in their native Austria and Hungary．In the summer it help protect them from sunburn，"Denise Cox，at Tropical Wings，said．
They are worth around£1，000，which is five times the value of an ordinary pig and are fond of fruit and the strange wine．Blond-haired male，Buddy，black-coated female，Porsche，and ginger Margot have already attracted lots of interest from visitors．Cox said there was a possibility Porsche could already be pregnant．
