1982, one of the first questions he asked was: "Will I still be able to ski?"
Soon, Milton, who grew up in a skiing family and had hit the hillside from the age of three, saw a video
of a one-legged skier that would change his life. After missing a winter of sport following his operation (手术),
the Australian young man gave it a try.
By 14, Milton was skiing in his first international competition (国际比赛), the 1988 Winter Olympic
Games at Innsbruck, Austria. Just four years on, he became Australia's first gold medal (金牌) winner in France.
But trying to make a living from the sport he loved seemed to be a far more icy matter. For year, Milton
had to do his best to make ends meet, mending cars, working as a gardener and in ski shops. At one point he
was so poor that he needed to win a place in an American skiing competition to win enough money for the plane
ticket home.
But the skier who can hold his own in able-bodied speed-skiing events, thinks overcoming (克服) low
public expectations of what people with disabilities (残疾) can do is a greater obstacle (障碍) than being poor.
It's a problem that he is meeting with all the time.
He says most people with disabilities don't want to be treated differently than others. "It's the environment
around you that helps you to try. My biggest goal is to raise (提高) the expectations of the public as to what
people with disabilities can do."
Milton has won 10 Olympic and 11 world championship (锦标赛) medals and in April last year became
the world's first disabled person to ski at more than 200 km/h, reaching a surprising 210.4 km/h. His next goal
is the record of 212.26 km/h held by Australia's fastest able-bodied skier, Nick Kirshner. He'll then be the fastest
Australian skier ever.
B. When he was fourteen.
C. In 1992.
D. 8 years after his operation.
B. It's difficult for him to make the ends meet.
C. People don't believe what the disabled can do.
D. It's impossible for him to ski with the able-bodied.
B. to show he is different from other skiers
C. to help other disabled people stand up
D. to make the public give up wrong ideas
B. Milton will give up skiing after he reaches more than 212.26 km/h.
C. Few people think that Milton's dream will come true in the end.
D. Thanks to Milton's work, the public environment has become better.
A gentleman met Bill one day. The rich man said, "They say you are very clever, but I don't believe it. Bill
said with a smile, "I am not clever. Instead, you are very stupid."
The gentleman became very angry. Bill said, "Please don't be angry, sir."
"If you don't believe what I said, let me ask you one question. If you have a group of cows, and I give you
another group, then how many groups of cows do you have?"
"Why, that's the easiest question in the world! One and one is two, I have two groups of cows," Bill laughed
and said. "You are wrong, sir. Two groups put together are still one group. That is the easiest question in the
world."

In the West, some people believe that personality can be predicted according to the time of the year the person was bor. From China comes the belief that the year of birth influences one’s personality. In the past century, a new belief ahs arisen: the idea that personality is related to one’s ABO blood type. People with blood type A, for example, are considered more likely to be serious, hard-working, and quiet, while people with blood type O are likely to be popular and outgoing, yet often unable to finish what they start. Though this belief continues to be strong, some people question whether it is true.
The blood-type personality theory(理论) started in Japan in 1927 when Furukawa Takehi noticed personality similarities and differences among his workers. This idea soon went out of fashion, but was brought back by a Japanese television host named Toshitaka Nomi in the 1970s. The belief is still strong in Japan and is increasingly popular in neighboring countries. Some young Koreans have taken to the theory. A recent study showed 76 percent of Koreans aged between13 and 64 believing in the blood-type personality connection. Though most Asians might believe in the blood-type theory, for many it seems harmless and not something to be taken too seriously.
Is the belief true? The scientists in Asia largely think the belief as a modern-day superstition(迷信). Most studies have failed to find any strong connection between blood and personality. Generally, scientists are against making predictions or important decisions based on this questionable theory.
1.The writer uses blood type A and O as an example to explain ________.
A. the difference between the two blood types

2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
