Doris Lessing, born on October 22, 1919, is a British writer. In

October 2007 Lessing became the llth woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize for  36   in the 106-year history

In her long and complex career, Doris Lessing has  37  dozens of books of fiction as well as plays and nonfiction. She wrote persuasively 38 politics,feminism(女权主义),communism and black-white relations in Africa before moving on to  39  the emotional crack  (裂痕)  of human beings in her famous 1962  40  , The Golden Notebook.

Ms. Lessing inspired a  41 of feminists with this breakthrough novel, which informed the 20th-century view of the male-female   42  and the feminist movement regarded as a pioneering work.

Ms. Lessing wrote  43   about the inner lives of women  44  she rejected the idea that they should abandon their lives to marriage and children. The Golden Notebook told the story of Anna Wulf, a woman who wanted to live   45 

Because Ms. Lessing frankly described female anger and aggression(争强好胜), she was 46 as unfeminine. But Ms. Lessing also felt that  47  only on feminism hid the other issues raised by the novel. So she always had  48    comments about the feminist movement, 49  many of its members admired her.  Speaking in New York in  1970, she said, “I've got the 50  that the sex war is not the most vital one going on nor is it the most important  51  in our lives."

14 years later, she said that the women's movement should have tried to  52  men. “How can you expect things to  53  ," she said, “if you're talking to yourself?" Asked about 54 anti-feminist feelings when her work referred to the issues that fueled the women's movement, she  55   _, "It wouldn't be enough to say I'm a woman, after all?"

  Ask Steveland Morris, and he will tell you that blindness is not necessarily disabling. Steveland was born prematurely and totally without sight in 1950. He became Stevie Wonder--composer, singer, and pianist. The winner of ten Grammy awards, Stevie is widely acclaimed for his outstanding contribution to the music world.

  As a child, Stevie learned not to think about the things he could not do, but to concentrate on the things he could do. His parents encouraged him to join his sighted brothers in as many activities as possible. They also helped him to sharpen his sense of hearing, the sense upon which the visually disabled are so dependent.

  Because sound was so important to him, Stevie began at an early age to experiment with different kinds of sounds. He would bang(敲) things together and then imitate the sound with his voice. Often relying on sound for entertainment, he sang, beat on toy drums, played a toy harmonica(口琴) and listened to the radio.

  Stevie soon graduated from toy instruments to real instruments. He first learned to play the drums. He then mastered the harmonica and the piano. He became a member of the junior church choir and a lead singer. In the evenings and on the weekends, Stevie would play different instruments and sing popular rhythm and blues tunes on the front porches of neighbors' homes.

  One of Stevie's sessions was overheard by Ronnie White, a member of a popular singing group called the Miracals. Ron nie immediately recognized Stevie's talent and took him to audition for Berry Gardy, the smash hit“Fingertips”in 1962 at age twelve, and the rest of Stevie's story is a music history.

1.The best title for the passage is _____.

[  ]

A.Music for the Blind

B.Stevie Wonder

C.Grear Musicians

D.Blind People

2.By saying“Stevie soon graduated from toy instruments to real instruments”, the author means that _____.

[  ]

A.Stevie finished his study at a toy instrument school

B.Stevie began to study in a real instrument school

C.Stevie gave up all his toy instruments and began to buy many real instruments

D.Stevie started to play real instruments

3.The author mentions all the following facts except that _____.

[  ]

A.Stevie's neighbors could often enjoy his playing and singing

B.it was Ronnie White who recognized Stevie's talent and led him to a successful career

C.Berry Gordy helped him to set up his own recording compan

D.Stevie's parents played a very important part in training his sense of hearing

4.The phrase“smash hit”in the last paragraph refers to _____.

[  ]

A.a popular autobiography

B.a music record that turns out to be a great Success

C.a music record which is especially noisy
