阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

  He lost his arms in an accident that claimed his father's life-who was the main source of support for the family.Since then, he has had to depend on the arms of his younger brother.For the sake of taking care of him, his younger brother became his shadow, never leaving him alone for years.Except for writing with his toes, he was completely unable to do anything in his life.

  One late night, he suffered from diarrhea(腹泻)and had to wake up his younger brother.His younger brother accompanied him into the toilet and then went back the dorm to wait.But being so tired, his younger brother fell asleep, leaving him on the toilet for two hours till the teacher on duty discovered him.As the two brothers grew up together, they had their share of problems and they would often quarrel.Then one day, his younger brother wanted to live separate from him, living his own life, as many normal people do.So he was heart-broken and didn't know what to do.

  A similar misfortune happened to a girl, too.One night her mother, who suffered from chronic mental illness, disappeared.So her father went out looking for her mother, leaving her alone at home.She tried to prepare meals for her parents, only to overturn(弄翻)the kerosene light on the stove, resulting in a fire which took her hands away.

  Though her elder sister who was studying in another city, showed her willingness to take care of her, she was determined to be completely independent.At school, she always studied hard.Most of all she learned to be self-dependent.Once she wrote the following in her composition:"I am lucky.Though I lost my arms, I still have legs; I am lucky.Though my wings are broken, my heart can still fly."

  One day, the boy and the girl were both invited to appear on a television interview program.The boy told the TV host about his uncertain future at being left on his own, whereas the girl was full of enthusiasm for her life.They both were asked to write something on a piece of paper with their toes.The boy wrote:My younger brother's arms are my arms;while the girl wrote:Broken wings, flying heart.

  They had both endured the same misfortune, but their different attitudes determined the nature of their lives.It is true that life is unpredictable.Disasters can strike at any time.How you handle misfortune when confronted with it actually is the true test of your character.If you choose only to complain and escape from the misfortune, it will always follow you wherever you go.But if you decide to be strong, the hardship will turn out to be a fortune on which new hopes will arise.

  It was the end of my first day as waitress in a busy New York restaurant.My cap had gong away, and my feet   1  .The loaded plates I carried   2   to be heavier and heavier.Tired and discouraged, I didn’t seem able to do anything   3  .As I made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream   4   a dozen times, I was ready to stop.Then the father   5   at me as he handed me my trip.”Well done,”he said,”you have   6   us really well.”Suddenly my tiredness   7  .I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how I’d like my first day, I said,”  8  !”Those few words of praise had   9   everything.Praise is like   10   to the human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it.And   11   , while most of us are only too   12   to apply(应用) to others the cold wind of criticism, we are   13   unwilling to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise.Why--- when one word of praise can bring such   14  ?

  It’s strange how chary (吝啬) we are about praising.Perhaps it’s   15   few of us know how to accept it.It’s   16   rewarding (鉴赏) to give praise in areas in which   17   generally goes unnoticed or unmentioned.An artist gets complimented (admired) for a glorious picture, a cook for a   18   meal.But do you ever tell your launder manager how pleased you are when the shirts are   19   just right?In fact, to give praise   20   the giver nothing but a moment’s thought and a moment’s effort.

第三部分  阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Christopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death. And if that weren't bad enough, he had no health insurance.

After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he'd better find a way to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar , and created diabeticrockstar.com, a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones—a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources.

    Jason Swencki’s son, Kody, was diagnosed with type diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online children's forums(论坛) together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over," says Swencki, one of the site's volunteers. "They know what he's going through, so he doesn't feel alone."

Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.

    These days, Thomas's main focus is his charity(慈善机构), Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people—225 to date—who can't afford a diabetic's huge expenses. Fight-it.org has raised about $23,000—in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean.

    Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his full-time job waiting tables. "Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding a cure," says Bentley Gubar,  one of Rockstar's original members. "But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now."

1. Which of the following is true of Christopher Thomas?

He needs to go to the doctor every day.

He studies the leading cause of diabetes

He has a positive attitude to this disease.

He encourages diabetics by writing articles.

2. Diabeitcrockstar.com was created for _________.

   A. diabetics to communicate          B. volunteers to find jobs

   C. children to amuse themselves       D. rock stars to share resources.

3. According to the text, Kody ______.

A. feel lonely because of his illness

B. benefits from diabeticrockstar.com

C. helps create the online kid’s forums

D. writes children’s stories online

4. What can we learn about Fight It?

A. It helps the diabetics in financial difficulties.

B. It organizes parties for volunteer once a year.

C. It offers less expensive medicine to diabetics.

D. It owns a well-known medical website.

5. The last paragraph suggests that Thomas ______.

A. works full-time in a diabetes charity      B. employs 22 people for his website

C. helps diabetics in his own way           D. ties to find a cure for diabetes
