Sometimes, something that is considered to be negative turns out to be an advantage on the job. Though he is only 18 years old and blind, Suleyman Gokyigit is among the top computer technicians and programmers at InteliData Technologies Corp, a large software company with several offices across the United States.
“After our company united with another one last October, two different computer networks were driving us crazy,” recalls Douglas Braun, the InteliData president. “We couldn’t even send e-mail to each other.” In three weeks, Mr. Gokyigit created the software needed to connect the two networks. “None of the company’s 350 other employees could have done the job in three months,” says Mr. Braun. “Sulyman can ‘see’ into the heart of the computer.” Mr. Bokyigit’s gift, as Mr. Braun calls it, is an unusual ability to form an idea of the inside of a machine.
“The computer permits me to reach out into the world and do almost anything I want to do,” says Mr. Gokyigit.
The young programmer is at home with hardware as well, thanks partly to a highly developed sense of touch. Mitzi Nowakowski, an office manager at InteliData, remembers how he easily disconnected and reconnected their computer systems during a move last year. “Through feel, Suleyman can find the position of connectors, pins and wires much faster than most other people with sight,” he says.
Much of the student programmer’s speed comes from his ability not to be interrupted while at the computer. When typing, he listens carefully to the synthesizer(合成器). His long, thin fingers fly over the keyboard. “Nothing seems to shake his attention,” says Mrs. Nowakowski, his boss.
Mr. Gokyigit is the only company employee who is available 24 hours a day. “We consider him our top problem solver.” says Mr. Braun.
32. According to Mr. Braun, Suleyman___________.
A. can work wonders on computer
B. is the best technician in the world
C. has done a hard job in three months
D. has united InterliData Technologies Corp. with another computer company

34. Sulyeman was quick while at the computer mostly because of__________.
A. his blindness B. his attention on the synthesizer

35. What does the text mainly tell us?
A. Computer technicians are more likely to be gifted.
B. One’s disadvantages may prove to be advantages.
C. The disabled can also play an important role in society.

That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.
As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers . Very few people were still out. except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my apartment , I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired any more, and I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pulled up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, "Alisa Camacho?" I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. "Is this what you're looking for?" he asked, holding up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.
41. How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?
A. Cold and sick. B. Fortunate and helpful.
C. Satisfied and cheerful. D. Disappointed and helpless.
42. From the first paragraph,we learn that the writer was busy _____.
A. solving her problem at the bank
B. taking part in various city activities
C. learning acting in an evening school
D. preparing for the first night show
43. On her way home the writer _____.
A. lost her wallet unknowingly
B. was stopped by a garbage truck driver
C. was robbed of her wallet by an armed man
D. found some homeless people following her
44. In the fifth paragraph, why did the writer say she was dreaming?
A. Someone offered to take her back home.
B. A red-haired man came to see her.
C. She heard someone call her name.
D. Her wallet was found in a garbage truck.
45. From the text, we can infer that the writer _____.
A. would stop working at night B. would stay on in San Francisco
C. would make friends with cleaners D. would give up her job at the bank
I look in the mirror, and I'm not happy with what I see. I don't have a "perfect" face. I look in the magazines and all I see are girls with fair hair, blue eyes, and, of course, a pretty little nose. They're on the outside of the buses that I take home, the television programs I watch, and the billboards(广告牌)I walk under. Almost every advertisement I see shows this human physical "perfection". These billboards not only tell me what to drink, but also how to look.
Our society places more importance on a
person's physical beauty, rather than their ability, honesty and character. We have influenced women to go through painful surgeries(手术)and starve themselves to become this society-built physical model. To be a beautiful woman in the 21st century doesn't mean that you are a brilliant doctor or caring mother. It means you have the perfect jaw, eyes and lips. It
means that you can be six feet tall and weigh one hundred and ten pounds.
But what about the women who are starting to leave their youth? Instead of looking at aging as a sign of wisdom, we try to prevent the aging process (过程). It's a kind of funny thing to want to look eighteen when fifty. Fifty is a relaxed age, when you can step back and look at all you've achieved(successfully complete something). It is when your hard work pays off. Unfortunately, our society just sees you as “old”. To stop the aging process, women buy wrinkle(皱纹)creams, do eye lifts and face lifts. They spend thousands of dollars to win the hopeless battle against age.
I remember when I was about thirteen years old and going through teens, I had oily hair, and a half developed body. I hated the way I looked. I used to cry to my mother all the time, but she would just laugh and tell me that "you don't want anyone to like your appearance. It's your heart that is important, because beauty fades(消逝)." I knew that she was right. If you work on your heart enough, people will start to see the beauty in you, which lasts and remains on even after you die.
25.The main idea of the first paragraph is that .
A. the author doesn't have a perfect face
B. women have to look beautiful
C. photos of beautiful girls can be seen everywhere
D. there are too many beauties in daily life
26.What's the author's attitude towards being "old"?
A. It's a pity that people have to get old.
B. It's a fruitful and wise time.
C. It's stupid to try to stay young.
D. It's a pity that society looks down upon the old.
27.It is that regard(s) the physical beauty as more important.
A. women themselves
B. the author's parents
C. newspapers and magazines
D. society
28.What's the author's opinion about beauty?
A. The author doesn't like the beauties our society values.
B. It is not important whether a person looks beautiful or not.
C. It is a person's heart and inner qualities that are important rather than the physical beauty.
D. The author feels appearance is important to a person.

That holiday morning I didn't have to attend school. Usually, on holiday, mother 41 me to sleep in. And I would certainly take full advantage of it. On this particular morning, 42 ,I felt like getting up early.
I stood by my window overlooking the 43 , having nothing better to do. But as it turned out, I was soon to learn about something 44 in life.
As I watched several people go by, get into their cars and drive off, I 45 an old man on a bicycle with a bucket on its 46 and a basket of rags and bottles on its back-carrige. He 47 from one car to another, washing and cleaning them. From the water on the ground, it seemed that he had already 48 washing and cleaning about a dozen or more cars. He must have begun to work quite early in the morning.
Several thoughts 49 my mind as I watched him work. He wasn't well-dressed. He had on a pair of shorts and a(an) 50 T-shirt. The bicycle he rode was not by any means the kind modern 51 would want to be seen riding on. But he seemed 52 with life. There he was, working hard at his small business, 53 at passers-by and stopping to chat now and then 54 elderly men and women on their way to the market nearby.
There was a noticeable touch of 55 in the way he seemed to be doing things 56 the windscreen(挡风玻璃),then standing back to admire it, scrubbing(擦净)the wheel and 57 ,standing back to see what they looked like after the scrub.
It was a 58 to learn, I felt. At no age need one have to beg for a 59 if one has good health and is willing to work hard. For a while I felt 60 of myself. Young as I am—just sixteen, and there was this old man who must have been usefully engaged perhaps before the sun appeared above the horizon.

There is a very instructive incident involving the life of Alexander the Great, King of Greek.
Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face, Alexander realized his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence. So, he lay helplessly waiting to
breathe his last. He called his generals and said, “I will depart from this world soon, and I have three wishes. Please carry them out without fail.”
“My first desire is that,” said Alexander, “My physicians alone must carry my coffin.” After a
pause, he continued, “Secondly, I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard be spread with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected.” The king continued, “My third and last wish is that both my hands should be kept hanging out of my coffin.” Alexander’s favourite general kissed his hand and pressed it to his heart. “Oh, King, we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled. But tell us why do you make such strange wishes?”
Alexander took a deep breath and said, “I would like the world to know of the three lessons I
have just learnt. I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no
doctor can really cure any bodies. They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death. So let people not take life for granted.”
“The second wish of spreading gold, silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to
tell people that not even a bit of gold will come with me. I spent all my life earning riches but cannot take anything with me. Let people realize that it is just a waste of time to chase wealth.”
“And about my third wish of having my hands hanging out of the coffin, I wish people to know that I came empty-handed into this world and empty-handed out of this world.” With these words, the King closed his eyes. Soon he let death conquer him and breathed his last.
4. The first paragraph suggests that Alexander ________________.
A. wanted to leave the world as he came empty-handed
B. realized that what he got in his life was nothing to him at all
C. was spending a lot time conquering many kingdoms and had earned a great amount of wealth
D. regarded his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth as the most important
things
5. The underlined word “clutches” in Paragraph 3 means “___________”.

B. stress the power of Alexander the Great

Are you competitive enough to make it in America? There is an undeniable excitement about coming to study in the US, but it's not all excitement. Yes, it is America; it is the land of freedom; it's the place where different cultures clash and live together in peace. However, you guys might agree with me: it's not easy to leave home and the security of family, friends and people who love and care about us. And doing it raises some questions: Is it worth it? Are you equal to the challenge? You might be sitting in front of your computer watching a documentary about America, which shows you the breathtaking views of skyscrapers in New York, the beautiful warm weather in San Diego, and the huge parties along the beaches of the Sunshine State, Florida.
Just as you know, it's all true. I remember how my heart was racing the first time I visited Times Square in New York. I can't find any words in the dictionary to describe how I felt at that moment. Someday, when you get lucky and go there, you will know what I mean.
Unfortunately, TV and movies never show the other side of what students must do to survive America. Education in the States is really different from other places. Yes, there is the traditional A, B, C, and D grading system, and you get to be on the Dean's List if you have all As on your transcript. However, these grades don't just come from your test performances. The requirements of classes in the US are much more varied and this is the biggest adjustment that overseas students have to manage.
Some have papers that you have to write every week; others have group projects you must do with your classmates, presentations you make in the class, or research you do by yourself to prove your own idea. There comes a night when you have a couple of projects for different classes, a paper, and an exam to study for. And that night you ask yourself, “What did I get myself into?”
I'm not trying to intimidate you, but you should know what it really is like to study in the States. One thing I can promise you is that it is worth all the hard work you put in. And the more time you give to your study, the more open doors you will have by the time you finish your degree.
24. The author wrote this passage to ________.
A. help readers prepare for studying in the US
B. warn people of the dangers of living in the US
C. promote the US education system to overseas students
D. make readers understand the benefits of studying in the US
25. According to the author, America is ________.
A. a place that he could not get used to
B. a country where students can learn freely
C. a dangerous place to live in without family or friends
D. a place where people from different backgrounds get on well
26. When the author first visited Times Square, he felt ________.
A. disappointed B. surprised C. excited D. nervous
27. According to the passage, which of the following is most challenging?
A. Attending all the classes. B. Getting all As in the tests.
C. Writing papers every week. D. Balancing different study requirements.

Downsize the dishes. 40 . We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one ,total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.

One day, a mother horse told her son, “My child, will you happily go and carry this bag of wheat to the mill (磨坊) to grind it into flour?” The little horse happily agreed without hesitation, and ran out of the house with a bag of wheat on his back.
After quite a long journey, the little horse came to a river, which blocked his path to the mill. He suddenly got confused. Looking around, he saw a cow. So he asked the cow, “Auntie Cow, can you tell me whether I can cross the river?” The cow answered, “Definitely you can. The water is very shallow.” When the little horse was about to cross the river, a squirrel shouted to him, “Little horse, don’t cross the river. You will drown.” The little horse didn’t know what to do, so he decided to go back to ask his mother.
After he told his mother everything that happened on his way, his mother said, “My child, it’s not enough to only listen to others; you have to give it a try by yourself, and then you’ll know the answer.”
With those words, he walked carefully across the river. The water was neither shallow nor deep. It was just fine for him. Finally the little horse crossed the river and completed his task.
